HTC has a flair for big names but Sensation sure is something else. The name simply sticks. We’re talking a monster 4.3″ S-LCD screen with qHD resolution (540 x 960). If the bump in resolution doesn’t mean much to you, picture this – the Sansation’s 4.3-inch screen has the same pixel density as a much smaller 3.7″ screen with regular WVGA resolution.

The 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon chipset with the new Adreno 220 graphics bodes no good for rivals. But hey, that’s the news we’ve been waiting for. A battle is brewing and dual-core domination is the prize.

Before we let the excitement of benchmarks cloud our minds, let’s get the laundry list out of the way. Here’s what the HTC Sensation has to offer and what didn’t work all that well.

    htc sensation a new look

  • Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
  • microUSB port (charging) and stereo Bluetooth v3.0
  • MHL TV-out (requires MHL-to-HDMI adapter)
  • Smart dialing, voice dialing
  • DivX/XviD video support
  • HTC Locations app
  • HTCSense.com integration
  • HTC Portable Hotspot
  • Ultra-fast boot times (if you don’t remove battery)
  • Office document editor

Main disadvantages

  • Serious “death grip” issue with Wi-Fi radio
  • Less than impressed with the screen’s outdoor performance
  • Performance not quite as convincing as other dual-cores
  • No dedicated camera key
  • microSD is under the battery cover
  • No unibody construction as advertised

You’ll notice that “unibody” is not on the feature list – the back cover is certainly interesting but this is by no means a unibody. Let’s not let that sully the great impression though – the Sensation is one of the most powerful droids around and it’s on the shortlist if you’re looking for the ultimate in smartphones.

The 8MP camera with 1080p video recording begs for a camera shootout. And the high-res S-LCD unit calls for another display test. So that’s a lot of testing we have ahead of us.

But before we get busy, we need to give credit where it’s due. HTC have been perfecting their interface designs for years and the latest Sense UI 3.0 is laced with equal amounts of useful features and eye candy.

With all the tests and benchmarks that await us, we just have to let the HTC Sensation out of the box.
