HTC Sensation. Review communicator HTC Sensation: “Superphone” with children’s sores
If you believe datas of mobile operators, HTC Sensation is in the top 5 selling smartphones in the U.S.. That’s why we want to give an overview of HTC Sensation.
Filling in HTC Sensation rich, and that he has little equal. Availability – color touchscreen capacitive Super LCD display with 16.7 million colors and support for multitouch, and 4.3-inch diagonal and a resolution 960h540 pixels. There is Auto-rotate allowing to read the page, lying on his side. Dual-core processor Qualcomm MSM8260 with a frequency of 1.2 GHz and the graphics chip Adreno 220, RAM 768 MB of internal memory and a gigabyte. There is an 8-megapixel camera that supports Full HD and dual LED flash.
Lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1520 mAh should keep for a long time. Ambient light sensors, proximity, and the gyro compass – for granted. Dimensions HTC Sensation – 126h65h11 mm, weight – 148 grams.
HTC Sensation – is Sensation?
That’s the case I want to say about itself, and not even just to say, but to praise. Housing comfortable in the hand does not slide a piece of soap is not like, and does not want to slip out – mainly due to the back cover, which used matte plastic and metal. Due to the materials phone firmly on the table and in his hand. And you can open it with two hands without the help of outsiders.
Beneath the screen are 4 touch-sensitive backlit buttons – this is “home” context-sensitive menu, “Return” and “Search”. Perched on the left side volume control wheel and plug micro-USB, a virgin right is empty, the bottom is the microphone, and on top – all the rest, that is a connector for a headset or headphone mini-Jack and the power button.
The frame body HTC Sensation
The rear panel is of particular interest because it generously bristling with holes. Because of them, and in no way closed the camera lens into the body very quickly packed dirt and dust, and at least once a week to open the smart and clean.
Shell
In HTC Sensation uses a proprietary shell HTC Sense 3.0. This add-on Android 2.3, which makes communication with this and so a good operating system even more convenient. For example, the Sensation is waiting for us as much as seven desktops preinstalled Windows Task Manager, and various widgets.

However, on the phone with Sense creeps mass deficiencies, and one of them – the very many “sitting” in memory of branded services – from weather and ending HTC Hub. Their main drawback – they are very fond of constantly updated. Just disable real-time synchronization is impossible, you can only make it less frequent.
Wi-Fi, GPS and mobile internet
Wi-Fi is caught well on and tuned to a certain point within ten seconds. Sensitivity at the receiver is quite on the level. Network for two weeks of the gadget has never lost, and new connected very quickly. That’s what this device can honestly praise. But a GPS of Sensation frankly weak.

The room is no longer caught the last satellite has a meter away from windows, and even in the car for some reason he sometimes prevents roof. When using the card periodically stops and sometimes begins to fail compass, turning on its axis. Since it was observed on two devices, it is likely that the matter again in the firmware.
Total: GPS to actually use a pedestrian unless, well, or find a car that will appeal to gadget.
Communicator perfectly in the hand, despite its size
Camera in HTC Sensation can be estimated except for three or less – to smartphones this level the current level of quality is completely unacceptable. In considering the detail photos are immediately visible to serious artifacts. You do not even have to turn up a photo – just look at it in a 1:1 ratio. And it’s extremely sad, because the ability to capture the smartphone is very good. Anterior chamber at 0.3 MP seen as something even ashamed.
In the smartphone is a very serious relationship – from the charger. And it is so serious that the apparatus and one day can not live, so do not nourished from the outlet. And if you watch movies or play hard toy, then this figure is rapidly reduced to 4-5 hours – at best. Sensation is powered long and detailed – an average of three hours spent on a full charge from the wall.
Large, bright screen coupled with the processor quickly drains the battery
This fact is extremely frustrating. In fact, reviews of many users, this situation is not the norm, and the problem of leakage of the charge already struggling – available methods.
The second major flaw – it is really hot. And, judging by the internal sensor, the temperature can reach right up to 47-48 degrees, Sensation in 20 minutes can overheat so that it will be painful to hold. And no – it’s not a glitch of a specific sample, this behavior was typical of both the gadgets that we had on the test.
The third serious shortcoming As for the phone functions, which are sometimes still used. You can praise the beautiful melodies, but the volume of calls as well as the dynamics is poor. Microphone does not know how to deal with the noise and hear the next half a meter (if using speakerphone).
HTC Sensation – if not “sun” of the market of smartphones, then certainly “star”
Conclusions.
About HTC Sensation is very difficult to judge. Because there are lots of bugs, humidity firmware (for example, large-scale widgets periodically covered by horizontal stripes, which disappear only after the removal of widgets), weak GPS and a bad camera – it can be argued that the sensation of HTC Sensation did not work.
