HTC Sensation

HTC’s flagship Android smartphone for this year, the HTC Sensation, is reportedly ready to invade India this quarter. According to reports, the dual-core 1.2 GHz powered Android phone might hit the Indian market by May or June.

HTC Sensation 4G will feature a brand new HTC Sense version 3.0, which features new user interface that is 3D-like. Moto’s also confirmed that the Droid Bionic will include new features (maybe 1.2 GHz processor). 

The new smartphone in town HTC Sensation 4G may have entered the battle a little late as there are two Motorola smartphone beasts in Motorola Atrix and Droid Bionic to face. Many of the features in these smartphones outshine the upcoming Sensation 4G.

Here is a look at the comparisons of HTC Sensation 4G, Motorola Atrix 4G and Motorola Droid Bionic.

Display:
Both Motorola Droid Bionic and HTC Sensation 4G has a display of 4.3 inches with a 540 x 960 pixel resolution but Sensation has a S-LCD capacitive touchscreen while Droid Bionic features TFT capacitive touchscreen.

Sensation 4G has other features like Gorilla Glass display, gyro sensor and HTC Sense version 3.0 UI.

Memory:
Motorola Atrix features 1 GB RAM with 16 GB internal storage while Droid Bionic comes with 16 GB internal storage, 512 MB RAM and 2 GB ROM.  

Camera:
The Droid Bionic and HTC Sensation features 8-megapixel 3264x2448 pixels camera with autofocus, dual-LED flash, geo-tagging, face detection, image stabilization but Sensation has extra features like touch-focus and instant capture. HTC Sensation can capture video at 1080p. 

Battery:
Once again Motorola smartphones have standard Li-Po 1930 mAh battery as against HTC smartphones Li-Ion 1520 mAh battery. Motorola Atrix 4G is featured in AT&T whereas Motorola Droid Bionic will go to Verizon and HTC Sensation will head to T-Mobile.

Motorola Droid Bionic is priced at $149.99 with a new two-year Verizon contract.

Smartphones using the same chip were promised at CES, but strong indications have emerged this morning that at least one of the phones (Motorola's Droid Bionic) has been cancelled.

On paper, the Bionic was impressive, featuring the 1Ghz Tegra 2 system-on-chip, a 4.3" display (running at HD resolution), and connecting to Verizon's lauded 4G LTE data network. Considering it is mid-2011, and problems launching dual-core phones are being seen, this might put Samsung's roadmap for 2 GHz dual-core phones by 2012 in jeopardy. That said, problems appear specific to the Tegra 2 system-on-chip, as other chip manufacturers like Qualcomm and Texas Instruments continue to push dual-core chips at OEMs. It is said to have a dual-core chip, but considering the issues with the Tegra 2 powering the Bionic, it is unlikely Motorola will cancel one phone only to release another using the same chip - it will likely have the same Qualcomm or TI hardware underpinning competitors' releases.
