Just hot off the shelves to be released in October 2011, the HTC Sensation XE weighs 151 grams, measuring 126.1mm x 65.4mm x 11.3mm and sports a 4.3-inch touch screen. The touch screen delivers a qHD (quarter HD) resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, thus yielding an image quality of 256 ppi (pixels per inch). This is a commendable image quality, though not quite top-notch like the Retina Display of the iPhone 4S at 326 ppi. Overall the size and weight feel good in the palm of your hand sporting its trademark black colour with red highlights, though it could feel a tad heavy or bulky for some users with smaller hands.
The HTC Sensation XE packs a blistering dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor running at 1.5GHz, probably making this the fastest dual-core smartphone released to date, ahead of several others running at 1.2GHz such as the HTC Evo 3D and Samsung Galaxy S II. Running on the latest Android OS v2.3.4 (Gingerbread), it packs the usual array of features thanks to its proprietary HTC Sense UI, including multi-touch sensitive controls, accelerometer, proximity and gyro sensors. Speed is definitely a hallmark for this smartphone, though storage is not its strongest point, offering a mere 4GB coupled with 768MB RAM, accompanied by an expandable microSD card slot that supports up to an additional 32GB.
Also armed with a 8 megapixel camera, a VGA front-facing camera, and full HD 1080p video capturing at 30fps, the HTC Sensation XE does not fall short in this arena too, keeping up to par with the just-released iPhone 4S.
Download speeds are also quick going at a trend-setting 14.4Mbps on HSDPA (3.5G), and along with the standard set of connectivity options such as Bluetooth 3.0, microUSB 2.0, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, battery capacity has also been boosted with a larger 1730mAh battery, which HTC claims to give a talk time of monster beats earphones 7.5 hours.
