HTC Sensation XE Overview

The HTC Sensation XE is the first official Beats by Dre smartphone after the manufacturer acquired the headphone vendor in August. Alongside Beats audio enhancement technology, you're getting a very powerful smartphone.

It bests the HTC Sensation with its 1.5GHz processor, 1730 mAh battery and more. It also has the same 4.3 inch qHD display and we can expect Android 2.3 with HTC Sense. The Sensation XE is expected to launch near the end of this month in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

HTC Sensation XE Reviews

CNET
The HTC Sensation XE is an improved version of the original Sensation, which came out earlier this year.
Engadget
Now, though, this phone has been our closest companion for long enough to reveal its true colors. They're red, primarily, but there's a whole rainbow of detail right after the break.
Tech Radar
The HTC Sensation XE built well on the success of the original Sensation, but since the launch of Ice Cream Sandwich toting handsets at MWC 2012 it is in need of an update to keep up with the pack.
Phone Arena
The HTC Sensation XE is the same phone with minor changes:  new color scheme,the 3rd generation dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset is pumped to its maximum 1.5GHz, and a beefier battery  compensates for that might.
T3
Several aspects have been given a makeover, but the headliner is the addition of Beats by Dre technology, which HTC suggests makes this the go-to smartphone if music playback is a priority.
