HTC Sensation XL Android smartphone video review - part 1 of 2

[atyl1972]

because the back of the phone doesn't have the more 'gripping' texture as in the original sensation and the XE, does this make a difference when held in your hand??

[yusef1904]

its a 3.7 inch screen!!!

[ading0901]

@yusef1904 4.7 inch

I miss the old times where you actually used your phone to call people.

[ffruitable]

like listening to Russ' reviews

[evilmunki54]

Trust me, 2GB is *tons* of space for apps and games. I partitioned my HTC Desire to a 512MB and that's plenty of space.

Real Beats Audio Headphones atleast have gold on the 3 pin 3.5 mill jack. That makes a big difference. They are makin u pay so much for headphones that arnt real beats quality at all. Its sad :( better to have any android phone with real beats

[Armandos82]

Good review. But where did you find that prehistoric phone lol?

[chancellorMerkozy]

@Armandos82 - It's HTC's latest flagship (Bboom, high-hat)

[ManiKJimbob]

Around 20% of the main app/game will remain on the internal storage and the rest on the SD.

[abzvinny318]

Yikes, this screen is huge.

I have Samsung Epic and I sometimes feel this screen is uncomfortably large.

[MrNerd243]

[BIGGSiPhone]

[solomidplz]

Music handset lol.. is it a music handset just because it's shipped with Beats? No offence to you, just terrible thinking from HTC.

android reviewers all fail to mention that even though these android phones sometimes have 8gb or 16 gb storage you can't use it all for apps and games, the maximum space you can use to install apps and games is 2gb. the rest is for photos, music files etc. In today's world where some games are over 30 - 40 mb in size, it's very sad that android has yet to address this issue.

[mobileburn]

@shav4life Yet in today's world where many (most?) apps worth their salt can be moved to the SD card storage, this isn't an issue. 2GB of storage for apps is a lot, and most people could make better use of the storage for videos, photos, and music I imagine.

[shav4life]

@mobileburn I'm not going go into whether 2gb is enough space or not, the point here is that Google still hasn't figured out yet a way of having one file system for everything which makes like just easier and shows maturity of the OS. And NO you can't move apps to sd, you can only move parts of it which makes things even worse, it means you apps are scattered on two different file systems and slows it down.

[mobileburn]

@shav4life How is a single partition that is used for all types of storage a sign of OS maturity? It is a security issue. The SD storage has to be accessible to users so that they can drag and drop files on it and such, and the app storage can't be that way if you want a "mature" OS that supports paid-for applications.

[MrStylorock]

@mobileburn it is a good battery life, normally htc android phone are poor battery life compare to other android phones, and htc xl 4.7 inch screen bigger thn htc xe bt the battery only 1600mAh n htc xe 4.3 inch screen 1730mAh n the both mobile are bad battery life i hear. if i use htc xl for continuous for how many hours?

[wdbm86]

@shav4life I don't get your complaints, I have the Galaxy SII and have more than 60 apps installed and I still have more than 1GB of free space. I find really weird your complaints 

[mrgoldentv1]

@mobileburn if i want use this phone in usa, which carrier?????

[fersureinc]

@shav4life why would need put games on for its called itouch does the job

[TheGoldBlast]

The Desire's display is 3.7 inch not 3.8 else quite a nice review :)

[SkripKlubDJ210]

Would love to see this make it's way to the US ;) tired of my iPhone 4s...
