HTC continues to introduce advanced entertainment capabilities with the HTC Sensation

HTC Corporation, a global leader in mobile innovation and design, today introduced the HTC Sensation™, a smartphone that shines a spotlight on entertainment with HTC’s new HTC Watch™ video service. Crafted with premium design elements, the HTC Sensation™ features the company’s latest HTC Sense™ experience that puts people at the center by making their smartphones work in a more simple and natural way.

“HTC is known for its innovation! We believe in constantly broadening the range of devices offered – introducing technology to support specific applications and new form factors that meet the increasingly diverse needs of its customers,” said Mr Lennard Hoornik, President, South Asia, HTC Corporation. “The Smartphones have become a way of life—an office on the move for corporate executives and business professionals — and its many user-friendly features make it truly desirable. Therefore we are pleased to bring the innovative HTC Sensation™ experience to our Indian customers. HTC Sensation™ is an exceptional Smartphone that will win customers with its unique blend of functionality, usability and style.” He added.

“The technology offered by HTC is unique and revolutionary which symbolizes the spirit of innovation and inventive genius. HTC Sensation™ will create a paradigm shift in the overall Smartphone category with a refreshingly brilliant experience. In a market that is cluttered with many confusing options, we aim at offering a solution that solves our day-to-day requirements with simplicity and convenience,” said Mr Faisal Siddiqui, Country Head HTC India.

Premium Design and Materials
Tapping into HTC’s trademark design language, the HTC Sensation’s premium look and feel is enhanced by its rounded edges construction and the touch screen surface is protected by a contoured screen that feels more natural as a finger is glided across it. The 4.3-inch qHD display delivers high-resolution widescreen viewing and gives the HTC Sensation™ slender proportions that feel natural in a person’s hand. At the heart of the HTC Sensation™ beats a powerful, 1.2-gigahertz dual-core Qualcomm processor, which enables gorgeous graphics and all-around fast performance.

HTC Sense
Complementing the HTC Sensation’s premium design is the latest HTC Sense™ experience that boasts a host of new features and enhancements, helping people to have more fun and get more done. For instance, HTC Sense™ introduces a customizable active lockscreen experience that transforms the lockscreen into a real-time window to the most important information and content, such as social updates, photos, weather or stock updates that are viewed by simply turning on the display. In addition, the new active lockscreen becomes a customizable gateway that lets people quickly jump to the most used features, like making a phone call, sending an email, taking a picture or anything else with the same quick gesture usually used to unlock the phone. For instance, the camera can be launched right from the lock screen with a single motion, saving precious seconds when you’re trying to capture the action. Sharper graphics, vibrant animations and new widgets make HTC Sense™ look better than ever and, by continuing to focus on all of the aspects, both large and small, that make HTC Sense™ special, HTC introduces a more cinematic and immersive weather experience with stunning imagery and audible weather effects.

HTC Sense™ also makes it easy to have fun by enabling people to capture and share special moments. The HTC Sensation’s 8-megapixel camera doesn’t just shoot gorgeous photos but, with the new instant capture feature, lets people capture the moments they want without worrying about missing or keeping up with the action. The HTC Sensation™ also shoots full HD video in 1080p resolution, with full stereo sound, at up to 30 frames a second, giving you smooth video that is better than many other phones. With the new Video Trimmer tool, people can crop their clips to the perfect size for easy sharing with friends and family.

Price
The new HTC Sensation™ is available at a Market Price of Rs 32,700/-.
