The HTC Sensation XE on contract

The HTC Sensation XE is a true multimedia powerhouse, its even faster than the original Sensation and it has improved audio capabilities. It has a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor and Beats Audio, a new technology that promises outstanding quality through both headphones and the built-in surround sound speaker. The 4.3 inch Gorilla glass multitouch display is an impressive medium for watching movies or browsing your favourite sites. The feature set is top-spec all the way with Wi-Fi, GPS, DLNA and Wi-Fi printing as well as a G-sensor, proximity sensor and accelerometer packed into its compact chassis.

The optical package is top notch too, boasting an 8 megapixel camera for recording HD video clips. The video editor lets you select the best bits from your clips and share them on your social networking sites while FriendStream is on board for getting the latest updates and tweets directly on the homescreen.

The OS has been updated to Android v2.3.4 and the battery on the Sensation XE has also been improved, increasing talk time to around 7.5 hours. The HTC Sensation XE is an extremely powerful device. It weighs 151g, which is quite heavy, but that is mainly due to the large 4.3 inch screen.
