My first post for year 2012, Happy New Year and Belated Merry Christmas guys, how's your holiday season? I haven't been active for the past few weeks, but now I'm back!!
Now my first post this year will be a Review on HTC Sensation XE, since my dad won a HTC Sensation XE from a penny auction site he decided to give me his iPhone 4 and he wanted the HTC Sensation XE instead, and because I wanted to try a review on this latest smartphone of HTC.

Review on HTC Sensation XE

Introducing one of the latest smartphone of HTC, the HTC Sensation XE,it's audio quality is amplified by Beats Audio or Beats by Dr. Dre, at first glance you'll think that it's just like the HTC Sensation the only difference is the red details and the logo of Beats Audio on the back, with that red details it really gives the impression that it's the HTC Beats Audio Smartphone.

HTC Sensation XE has a CPU frequency of 1.5 Ghz with that the music quality of this phone would be great, I think this would separate it from the competition, by incorporating Beats Audio, this really gives a great music experience to consumers, but let's not just focus on one thing, now let's explore the other wonders of HTC Sensation XE.

HTC Sensation XE is separated into plastic and aluminum, the reason for this is to ensure consistent Wi-Fi and GSM experience. It also has a 4.3 inch LED screen it has the same S-LCD screen with a 960 x 540 pixel resolution. The camera has 8 Mega Pixel with a built in dual flash and a front facing VGA camera, and let's not forget included in the box is the sleek Beats earphones

The HTC Sensation XE has 1730mAh battery which is pretty decent 8hrs this includes a 1.5hrs of calls, 2hrs of audio, 2hrs of streaming over Wi-Fi and 2.5hrs of video playback. Another great feature is the Internet pass-through this means that you can connect to the Internet through a USB connection with the PC with that you have a less usage of your data plan while saving money at the same time.
