Short Review

  • The HTC Sensation 4G features a solid build with dimensions of 126.1 x 65.4 x 11.3 mm and a weight of 148g, providing a comfortable grip.
  • Its 4.3-inch S-LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 256 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
  • Powered by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon S3 chipset and 1GB of RAM, the phone delivers adequate performance for its time, though it may struggle with more demanding applications.
  • The 8 MP rear camera captures decent photos and can record video at 1080p, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • The 1520 mAh battery provides limited longevity, requiring regular charging due to its capacity.
  • Running on Android 2.3 with an upgrade option to 4.0, it features HTC's Sense UI 3, enhancing user experience with customizable elements.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of wireless charging and stereo speakers may be drawbacks for some users.
  • Overall, the HTC Sensation 4G offers a blend of functionality and design typical of its era, but lacks some modern features.
  • Its performance and camera capabilities are adequate for everyday use, making it a reliable device for basic smartphone tasks.
