    Fast, functional, nicely optioned for music, and with a screen that allows websites, emails, playlists and photos to be  writ large, the Sensation XL makes a strong case for a big mobile phone. Squirt some more pixels into that display, HTC, and we’re on board. Read more

    • Big screen, Quality headphones, Latest version of Android and HTC's Sense overlay, Feels excellent, even though it's the biggest phone we've ever seen
    • Inadequate resolution for screen size, Word Suggestion feature works effectively only with HTC’s Trace technology, and Trace can be flakey

    Is a 4.7in screen just too big for a smartphone? HTC has bravely endeavoured to find out with the launch of the Sensation XL Android phone. Available exclusively through Vodafone in Australia, the Sensation XL is also one of the first HTC phones to benefit from the company's strategic partnership with the Beats By Dr. Dre audio company. The latest smartphones seem to be getting bigger, to the point where it might be difficult to distinguish them from a small tablet. Read more

    • Excellent design and build quality, Beats Audio and included Beats headphones, Good battery life
    • No expandable memory, Lower resolution screen than competitors, Exclusive to Vodafone
