So do you think you will have everything packed in one phone? There are some cons though which are as follows:
- A very fundamental ‘death grip’ issue with the Wi-Fi radio
- No individual camera key
- The screen’s outdoor performance is not very impressive
- There is no unibody construction that has been advertised
- Micro SD is under the cover so not very easily accessible
These are some minor cons that if one is willing to overlook, will not matter much, as the phone is the ultimate sensation in the droids family. It is quite a powerful phone. HTC has indeed worked a lot on their interface designs and has provided quite a phone that will be on the shortlist of powerful droids.
The HTC Sensation measures 126.1 x 65.4 x 11.3 mm. the weight of the phone is around 148 g. the size is very close to phones that have a 4.3 inches screen but is heavier and thicker than some of the phones. You can enjoy HD video streaming anytime by purchasing an MHL dongle (it is not included in the package). Battery life is fairly good. You might have to charge daily if used extensively.
