Good: Big screen, fair processing power, BEATS AUDIO quality.

Bad: Battery life, Memory storage

Comment: Best thing bout this phone: The big screen for watching youtube vids and taking vids, photos and more. the audio on the beats audio earphones are simply a blessing for a music lover like me!! The easy to use HTC sense, processing power (even though its a single core), I am quite happy with my device..
Something i do not like bout the phone..: The battery life when using GPS, gaming uses fair battery life, but i would prefer higher capacity of battery life since i am always using my phone... and the is no memory extend slot.. i was kind of disappointed with that as well. 16GB is not enough for all my music... haha!

I own it

Good: Screen Size, Beats Audio & Free £100 earphones

Bad: Single core processor

Comment: I'm currently trying to decide between the HTC Sensation XL, iPhone 4 or 4s & the Samsung Galaxy S2. The XL is the phone that grabs my attention in any of the phone shops but why just a single core processor when phones like the S2 have dual & are better value for money?!....and theres always that 3.5" iPhone there in the back of my mind. They look old now & are not great value for money in my opinion....but there's just something that makes me want to try one out for a while?! I think if the Sensation XL drops a little in price over the next few months it will be the one I go for.

I want it

Good: The screen size is a perfect size of 4.7" and with Dr Dre beats for music. Galaxy Note is too big for a smart phone. Higher video of 1028 speed

Bad: No expandable memory unless is it has internal (better could be faster) of 32G. Only single core processor not dual unlike the XE 1.5G dual (not good for multi-tasking), less RAM of 768 unlike HTC Rezound of 1-G

Comment: Rectifying the bad sides, it will become the best interesting and powerful smart phone in the market.

Not for me

Good: Looks good, i like that it's the sensation (which i own)with added beats audio and a bigger screen

Bad: no expandable sd, i think this phone will fail purely because of this. it is a media monster with a lack of space...very short sighted in my opinion

Comment: One of the reasons (there are many others) i enjoy using HTC phones and have done since the first htc google g1 is becuase they constantly improve themselves, but it seems they have forgotten a beautiful that they always include is a micro sd slot. I have and always will use up 16gb of memory in a whispher, seeing as this phone does everything from playing music at a very high level, record 1080p hd video, takes great photos and has a massive 4.7" screen which is great to watch your own movies and htc watch movies on it, it is lacking that simple conveniance of filling it with whatever you want....that is all

Not for me
