It's really starting to feel like HTC drops a new Android smartphone every two weeks. The company's newest handset, the Sensation 4G, will claim the flagship title as the fastest and most feature-filled Android phone available from HTC.
Officially announced today, the HTC Sensation 4G will run on T-Mobile's HSPA+ network and will be the first HTC phone to run the all new HTC Watch video rental and purchase service. Subscribers will have on-the-go access to a full library of movies and TV shows. Purchased content will be stored in a virtual locker and will be viewable on up to five HTC devices.
HTC, hoping people will want to watch all that content on their smartphone, has outfitted the Sensation 4G with some heavy duty specs including a 4.3-inch "qHD" display with a 540x960 resolution, a dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon processor, and a video camera capable of recording 1080p HD video with stereo sound at 30 frames-per-second.
There's also a new version of HTC Sense, the U.I. overlay present on all HTC phones. The new Sense brings with it a customizable lock screen that can be set to open to any of your most used apps.
There's no word on pricing as of now, but HTC says the phone will be available on T-Mobile this summer. Check out the full press release below.
