06 October, 2011
The Android Gingerbread smartphone comes with a single-core CPU but it's a behemoth of a phone.

        What's up with Htc releasing a phone with a 4.7 inches WVGA screen? For me, after 4.3 inches, qHD should be the minimum resolution

          Wow...that's like suck on steroids.

          50% good features, 50% complete last gen and lacking features. I'm confused what consumer audience this is targetting.

              Let's say that 4.65-4.7 will be ok if the phone has only the screen on front and thin bezel on the sides, otherwise these sizes are TOO MUCH! Hear me HTC, Samsung ?

                I have only once tried out the Desire HD and after using the SGS2 I didn't like the four button layout.

                Also what use is there for the separate search button when you can long press the menu key?

                  How can they name the phone "Sensation XL" if all the specs are worse than the original save for the larger screen?

                      People want high performance phones with a reasonable size displays! Not long after the phones will not even fit your pockets. Clothes manufacturers have to widen the pockets lol.

                        I wonder how much worse this is with only a single core and a HD resolution!

                            Agh.. At least it seems that Nokia has some sense left. Unlike HTC. Rumors say that one of their WP7 phones will have a 3.7" display. Hope to see HD resolution from Nokia too.

                                4.3" would've been just enough, maybe more. This is too much.
                                Do you want to hold a board on your ear?

                                I hope Nokia doesn't do the same when they will have the Nokia World conference.

                                    This is a "huge Fail"
                                    it should be called Fail XL
                                    4.7 with a single core ?
                                    wtf are you thinking
                                    if you are thinking about battery saving just use damn amoled
                                    or a large battery

                                      wonder what pricetag will be attached to this monster.
                                      more RAM, expandable memory, better camera and dualcore would have been better than to release this thing.
                                      wonder if this Sensation XL will have the same security issues GSMarena reported a few days ago
