HTC Sensation XE unboxing video

In a similar way to the treatment the HTC Desire had last year, HTC have been been expanding the use of the Sensation name to include new models; HTC Sensation XE and Sensation XL.

We’re starting here with the XE. The XE is the same overall shape and size as the original sensation but the internals have been updated a little. Now instead of the 1.2GHz dual core CPU you’ll find a 1.5GHz processor. This is the main change to between the two models but the XE also features beats audio, ships with beats audio headphones and has red colour accents on the loudspeaker and menu buttons.

There will be a full review from us in the coming weeks. As always we don’t commit to a review after just a few days, we spend time using devices day-to-day before we give our verdict. I can tell you that the handset runs extremely fast and you can see the benchmark score in the video below too.
