HTC Sensation 4G for T-Mobile Reviewed

Battery Life

In terms of the battery life for the HTC Sensation, the battery life was less than stellar. This can be primarily chalked up to the fact that the phone has a fairly large 4.3” screen which eats away at the battery as well as a very fast HSPA+ internet connection that also drains the battery rapidly. The HTC Sensation packs a 1520mAh battery which is standard size for most Android smartphones. On average, we found that the HTC Sensation got an average of a little over 7 hours of battery life. This was accomplished through using the device as if it were a normal cell phone with the occasional text message, phone call, app check and web browser. This figure improved by about half an hour or so once T-Mobile rolled out their 2.3.4 update OTA.
