Design

[edit]

The HTC Sensation XL measures 132.5 x 70.7 x 9.9 mm,[6] not considerably bigger than handsets with 4.3-inch screens. It weighs 162.5 grams,[6] some 14.5 grams heavier than the HTC Sensation. It has a 4.7-inch display; there's a front-facing 1.3 MP video-call camera, a proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor alongside a charging/notification LED that remains invisible when it is off at the upper bezel of the display and there are four capacitive touch keys for the Menu, Option, Back and Search functions at the lower bezel of the display.[9]

The back of the device was made almost entirely of aluminium; there is an 8 MP camera lens sitting between a dual LED flash combo and a loudspeaker at the back. On the side frame; there is a microUSB port at the left side, there is a volume rocker at the right side; there is a 3.5 mm audio jack, a secondary microphone for active noise cancellation and a power/lock button at the top and there is a microphone at the bottom. The back panel is removable; however, the device doesn't have a microSD card slot for memory expansion.[7][9]

[edit]

The HTC Sensation XL features Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 SoC with 1.5 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 Scorpion CPU, 768 MB RAM, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, FM radio, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, and 16 GB of internal storage.

The HTC Sensation XL is powered by a 1600 mAh Li-Ion removable battery,[7] which can last 40 hours when subjected to general usage. The battery life was substantial during 3G calls – nine hours and thirty minutes, longer than the advertised six hours and fifty minutes.
