HTC Sensation 4G for T-Mobile Reviewed

Value

In terms of value, the HTC Sensation doesn’t come with too many extra accessories beyond the charging cable and headset, which are expected. There aren’t too many added values from HTC outside of the HTC Hub which does provide for some free customizations. The HTC Sensation 4G’s value really rests upon its performance, quality, and design in respect to price. Currently, the HTC Sensation 4G sells for $199 with a 2 year contract or $559 without a contract, which is normal for a high-end Android device. The HTC Sensation is not necessarily an incredible deal given its pricing, but it is definitely priced according to performance and features and does not seem overpriced given the quality and performance.
