T-Mobile's most powerful smartphone yet, the HTC Sensation 4G combines the latest Android operating system (2.3, Gingerbread) with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and T-Mobile's blazing fast 4G network for a faster, richer on-the-go media experience. In addition to Android, it also offers the next-generation HTC Sense user interface, which includes quicker startup times from hibernation mode as well as a consolidated view of your favorite social networking sites.
This phone is specifically designed for T-Mobile's 4G HSPA+ mobile broadband network, which currently covers over 200 million people across the U.S.
The Sensation 4G's premium look and feel is enhanced by its rounded edges, aluminum semi unibody construction, and a touchscreen surface protected by a contoured screen that feels more natural as your finger glides across it. Optimized for video playback as well as mobile gaming, the Sensation 4G features a 4.3-inch qHD touchscreen display, which offers a 960 x 540-pixel resolution for extremely sharp images.
An 8-megapixel rear-facing, auto-focus camera with dual LED flash is perfect for capturing crystal clear still photos, while a front-facing camera makes it easy to video chat over both Wi-Fi and 3G/4G connectivity. And the Sensation 4G also shoots full HD video in 1080p resolution, with full stereo sound, at up to 30 frames a second, giving you smooth video that is better than many other phones.
Other features include Bluetooth for hands-free devices and stereo music streaming, GPS for navigation and location-based services, 4 GB internal memory, included 8 GB microSD memory card (with expansion up to 32 GB), mobile hotspot capabilities, and up to 6.7 hours of talk time.
