Android version and market relevance

In April 2011 HTC company introduced its new smartphone HTC Sensation. This is a new model, which is running on 2.3 Gingerbread and, according to the manufacturer, will be updated to a more recent version Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

If you think that for today such an android smartphone on the version 2.3 Gingerbread already outdated, then we advise you to look DROID-smartphones in our directory, where we collected a list of devices on the latest version of Android.

Screen, body and battery

S-LCD touchscreen with a diagonal 4.3″ mounted on the front panel HTC Sensation, thickness 11.3 mm.

The battery in HTC Sensation is installed on 1 520 mAh. It can be said that by today′s standards, such a volume is inadequate, and you will miss one charge per day of active work.

Main camera and selfie camera

A few words about the cameras that have HTC Sensation. The main camera, located on the back, received 8 MP. The main camera we would rate her 3 out of 5, because at the moment there are cameraphones with much better cameras.

The frontcamera is also in HTC Sensation. It is located in front of the screen and has its own 0.3 MP, which for qualitative selfies it will be not enough, therefore we advise to look others selfie smartphones in our catalog.

Processor and Internal Memory

A smartphone without a processor will not work. And the better the processor, the faster the smartphone works. HTC Sensation received 2-core processor Snapdragon S3. The amount of RAM in it is 0.768 GB.

But, more importantly, it′s the amount of built-in memory for storing your information (photo, video, music, etc.). Here you will receive 1 GB. You can still do this — buy a smartphone with a minimum amount of memory to save a bit, and buy a memory card microSD up to 32 GB, because in this model there is a slot for memory cards.

Price for HTC Sensation: buy or not to buy?

If you are looking for a camera phone, then this is not the model that suits you. If you need a smartphone with a huge touch screen, then this is not the model you are looking for. If you are looking for selfie smartphone (smartphone with a very cool front camera for shooting selfie), then this is not the model you need to buy.

Let′s step back from the lyrics and talk about money. Selling HTC Sensation will begin in May 2011 at a price of $120. There are analogues of this model from its price segment “Affordable smartphones from $100 to $200”, you can choose any smartphone for the same money.

We recommend buying a new smartphone only from trusted sellers. And preferably before buying the phone hold in your hand, to feel the dimensions of his hand and look at all of its external signs (build quality and materials). Then turn it on and check the touch screen (there should be no “broken” pixels, color gradient), open several built-in applications to assess the speed and smoothness of the interface. Be sure to launch the “Camera” application and take a few photos and videos, then view them (there should be no artifacts or traces of dust on the lens or glass).

We picked up these models at a similar price.
