HTC Sensation 4G Reviews

Phandroid
The HTC Sensation 4G is T-Mobile’s version of the phone known internationally as simply the HTC Sensation. 4G marketing aside, the handset brings the same powerful hardware and fluid software that make it the manufacturer’s latest flagship device.
CNET
Its excellent design and user experience, coupled with its solid performance, make the HTC Sensation 4G one of the best Android phones yet and a top pick for T-Mobile customers.
Android And Me
Over the past ten days, we’ve had the privilege of using the HTC Sensation 4G. Now that the phone is officially available at T-Mobile stores across the nation, we’re sharing our thoughts on the phone to give you a closer look at the handset’s hardware and software.
Android Authority
This is a very odd occurrence, being that T-Mobile was the very first carrier on the globe to support Google’s Android Operating System when it released the G1.
BGR
The HTC Sensation 4G for T-Mobile is arguably one of the carrier’s best smartphones ever. It’s packed to the brim with features and impressive specs, it’s lightning quick, incredibly well-built, and it runs HTC’s latest and greatest Sense user interface.
Ubergizmo
When compared to recent Android phones across all carriers, the HTC Sensation 4G has a superior screen resolution and a dual-core system on a chip (SoC) that provides enough muscles to power a smooth user experience, entertainment and video games.
Laptop Mag
With an excellent design, dual-core power, and long battery life, the HTC Sensation 4G is an excellent T-Mobile superphone.
Phone Arena
Inexplicably being unveiled almost out of nowhere, the HTC Sensation is already being adorned overseas as it showcases the strength, ingenuity, and innovative qualities established by the Taiwanese company.
