engadget HTC Sensation Leaked

I know this is getting an official release in London today but leaked news is good

Mitch Connor

Hopefully something even cooler will be out for Christmas.

This is teh sexy! I likey, I likey alot!

hardCopy

How does this compare to the Galaxy S II? I think it's time to move to the Android platform.

ShiverinEskimo

Think this is the handset I've been waiting for. Only question is will be it be available on these shores?

kippy

Am I missing something here - does it not look very similiar to the HTC desire -
Of course I dont know the tech specs but on looks alone it already has a rival.

ShiverinEskimo

Don't judge a book by it's cover kippy. The main benefits are a larger screen, higher-resolution, and vastly more powerful internals along with a few other bells and whistles updated from the desire.

Yep, theres a major increase in internal memory alright but to be honest, unless they have managed to eek another 24 hours out of the battery (which I doubt very much as the screen is that much better and there is better hardware) I dont think it will be worth the upgrade from the desire - edit unless you can get it as a freebie.

CombatCow

Yeah its due to be announced at the HTC event on London today and Vodafone uk had it up on their site briefly. Im interested in seeing the tech specs vs the Galaxy II and what battery it has

I think its defiantly going to be worth an upgrade from the Desire, but as I said im waiting on the tech specs to be sure.

Doesn't the dual core processor improve battery performance, even from the much improved battery life that was touted for the Incredible S and Desire S?

Hopefully this will be available here, although I don't think I'll upgrade my Desire until maybe this time next year, depending on new handsets.

Will this ship with Gingerbread?

allen175

I would say that it will ship with gingerbread, i doubt that any flagship phones being released in the next while will ship with froyo.

I just hope vodafone here won't be the only carrier with it.

This is official now:

Seems like it will be a Vodafone exclusive for a while at least.
It's a bit light on the RAM and Internal storage compared to the Galaxy S 2.

CombatCow

Ooh Gorilla Glass too, I didn't think it would arrive in Europe so soon, the article says "European markets in mid-May". Who in their right mind would buy the Incredible S now ?

Decisions decisions! I has the Galaxy s II pre ordered but Im thinking of cancelling for this now. My only fear is that it may end up like the desire HD release and keep getting pushed back, I saw stereo audio mentioned somewhere too so Im hoping they have bumped up the crappy loudspeaker that was on the DHD, Im also way of the end user being a beta tester for problems that the handset might have ie sms issue on DHD ect.

choronzonix

Looks like a very tasty potential upgrade from my Desire later this year!

Seeing as this has been released now - anybody know how much juice the batter has in it? In mAh obviously. :cool:

Evo 3D still winning for me with more onboard memory, more RAM and a bigger battery (even if it is a bit uglier)

I'm in two minds. Wont have to wait as long for the sensation but rather the evolution 3d. Ill try hold out for evo but I'm really impatient

Zagato

Have to say I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of NFC, I know it's not very useful yet, but might be over the next 18 months, Zapa have already said they are going to implement it in their next android app, and there are plenty of credit card implementation trials underway. My Hero is really dying and will have to jump soon - although this looks fab, will probably go for SGS2

4.3 is a very large screen and Ive got a feeling that it will be expensive here. Although they are saying it will be a reasonable price. That or the incredible will be a good deal cheaper. I dont like the rim around the screen and think the incredible is better looking

seanybiker

4.3 is a great size. I'm after getting so used to it now I can't imagine going for a smaller screen again.

lord lucan

I'm still happy with my N1 but i'm starting to look for something new coming out over the next few months. This looks like it might fit the bill.:)

TripleAce

is this already out for sale in the shops? How much is it?

Thank you.

evolutionqy7

I still wait for the day HTC will get rid of the Micro SD card and just go for Flash memory for better battery life and performance.

Though thumbs up seems HTC is back in the game

By the time NFC becomes useful you'll be upgrading from either of these phones

I agree. NFS wont take of like a blazing fire hire. Will take years for businesses around Ireland to adapt it.

You first need to adapt consumers to the idea of wirelss payments and especially using your phone for it and prove to them that its secure in case they lose it or it gets stolen.
