review from neowin
(edited to suit local audiences. for original article pls go to here.

QUOTE

The HTC Sensation is HTC’s first venture into the dual-core smartphone market, and despite other market offerings delivering some Tegra 2 power inside, HTC decided to stick with their trusted Qualcomm processors this time. Combine that with a 4.3-inch qHD display, 8 MP camera and 768 MB of RAM and you have the Sensation powerhouse.

Visually similar to the HTC Desire HD and EVO 4G but with a more curved nature, the Sensation takes the top spot in the HTC pecking order. It’s also the first HTC smartphone to come with Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread out of the box, and it's loaded with HTC Sense 3.0 which is somewhat similar to the Sense we saw earlier on the HTC Flyer.

...

While the Sensation has a fantastic build quality in terms of both looks and expensive materials (and weight), there are a few gripes to be had about the design. First is that the joining edge between the glass display and metal body seems to be a major attractor of dust and is awkward to clean. Secondly, the rear camera is inset from the back cover by about 1mm which again seems to be a hotspot for all dust to collect over the lens; the upside is this inset will prevent scratches on the lens but does make it difficult to clean.

...

The resolution of the qHD display (top in image below) is a great improvement over that of a standard WVGA (bottom). When zooming all the way out with the Neowin homepage on both types of display, where the qHD makes the smallest text readable it is simply not readable at all on the 480 x 800 display. This means that if you have good enough eyesight, you won't need to zoom as much when reading webpages and also get the added bonus of crisper images and less jagged lines (where apps support the larger resolution).

...

In terms of color output and black/white levels, any AMOLED display is going to look more vibrant in this area and when comparing the S-LCD of the Sensation to the Super AMOLED on the Galaxy S this held to be true. The S-LCD gave the brighter and stronger whites, but the AMOLED came through with true blacks (the screen is giving no light for blacks) and more vibrant colors.

The S-LCD and Super AMOLED both look quite similar when put next to each other and it’s only when you look closely do you notice the differences. The S-LCD does have the better whites and truer colors while the AMOLED has the better blacks and viewing angles (see above) so you have to make a decision: do you want your display to look closer to life with bright whites or have more vibrant colors and a great black-white contrast?

...

First off is the launcher, which is a seven panel rotator with slick 3D effects when you slide between screens. Widgets appear to expand in a 3D manner and the screens slide in a cube-like way, which really shows the power of the CPU inside the Sensation.

...

The performance of the HTC Sensation is going to be a big factor of this review, after all it is the most powerful HTC device yet. One of the big devices that it will be going after is the Samsung Galaxy S II, which like the Sensation comes loaded with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor; except the GSII’s CPU is Samsung-made rather than Qualcomm-made.

Obviously using the interface and apps present on the HTC Sensation is blisteringly fast – so fast that fast does not describe just how fast the device is to use. Loading apps takes mere fractions of a second, the 3D interface just flies and the browser is smoother than any other mobile browser we have seen. There is no doubt that the two cores inside are to blame for the ridiculous speed

...

Inside the HTC Sensation we are seeing a 1,520 mAh Li-ion battery, which doesn’t have a particularly large footprint. On our first rundown test after receiving the device and fully charging it, we managed 1d 7h of battery life before the device died. This was with a small amount of cell usage (texting, calling, internet usage) and some WiFi use to download apps, but for the majority of this time the phone was left alone. This is a good indication of light usage battery life.
With moderate usage, including several hours of internet usage, around an hour of gaming and more than an hour of texting, the Sensation lasted throughout the day with some (30-40%) battery remaining at the end. This is definitely a device which will need charging at the end of the day, but we doubt that you’ll have to charge it more than once, unless of course you are playing Dungeon Defenders non-stop.

If you are trying to drain the battery as quickly as possible by running constant benchmarks, playing intensive 3D games or recording hours of video, we estimate that you could do that in around 3-4 hours from our experiences of playing demanding 3D games. Keep in mind that while this number seems small, it is with ridiculously and abnormally high usage.

...

The HTC Sensation is a very, very fast phone. It may not be faster than the Samsung Galaxy S II, but it is certainly fast enough that you should notice no lag in any applications or games at this stage of Android's existence. It’s a high-end phone, fast is what you should expect and the Qualcomm dual-core certainly delivers.

But it’s not just the speed of the Sensation that makes it so good, there are several other factors as well. For one, the 4.3” qHD screen is very nice when it comes to pixel count and LCD color reproduction; it’s certainly big enough as well. HTC Sense 3.0 is also a pretty good skin when it comes to it, and it’s speedy and generally improves on stock aspects of Android.

The device is strong, metallic and visually pleasing. Media playback is very good and 1080p video recording is always a bonus. The battery is large enough to get you through a day. The list of positives goes on, and completely dominates all the negative aspects of the phone – you won’t be disappointed if you choose the highest-end HTC device and we certainly highly recommend it.

bootloader is still locked, that is really a big thing that kill everyone interest in getting this phone. But sense 3.0 is still much much better than touchwiz 4.0.

I agree to that... and although HTC has agreed to unlock their bootloader, so far no real news yet.

this only applies to geeks who enjoys flashing their phones from time to time.
for normal users, sense is already rclxm9.gif
usability and graphics is super excellent!

surely nobody will notice its actually running android.

Sense is one thing apple is lacking and i'm not surpised that Taiwanese actually can be so innovative.

I never like HTC sense. Find is bloated taking too much memory and widgets take up too much screen estate space. I have always replace the UI with others so I can customizeit to match my needs. Even my flyer I am using adw launcher
Even the ver 3 in sensation I don't like it. But I always recommend new users to buy HTC because it is good introduction to androids due to its HTC sense

normal users also need superuser access to freeze the apps. This has direct impact on the battery life, which is lacking in most HTC phones.

HTC makes sense also bcos unlike retirees who have the funds and time to try out new phones and test with different ROMs and other customization techniques.

Anyone experiencing the dreaded touch screen problem yet ?
Like most users from internet feedback says, problem starts to occur after
one week of usage, where the touch does not register properly eg: like unlocking
the lockscreen. etc...

Think deeper.
if u are a working ppl and busy wt ur lives, do u still like to play with custom ROMs, constantly searching for apps, etc? Unless of course it's ur hobby.
That's why HTC sense is a great piece of software designed to use hardware power to produce wonderful user experience.
So why wld normal ppl spend time on such matters if it is so boring and geeky to them?
