Large screen mobile phones offer many advantages to the consumer. The displays are perfect for viewing a viewing the whole spectrum of multi media sources that are available from photographs to video footage. The additional size of the display also offers extra functionality to the customer with the screen allowing more room for multi touch input and large icons. One area that is often overlooked however is gaming, and with smartphones becoming ever more powerful these handsets are superb for playing various games. The specification on the new HTC Sensation makes it one of the very best devices available for such tasks.

Anybody looking for a new handset will be aware of the high resolution screen that the Sensation uses along with its large 4.3 inch size so we will not focus to much attention on this area of the handset. An area perhaps even more vital to a complete gaming experience is a high quality processor and the Sensation does not let us down in this department. HTC have chosen to stick with a Qualcomm chip in this instance and have used the third generation chip from its Snadragon family. In addition to ...
... its dual core properties it also offers a super quick 1.2Ghz speed which not only benefits the smoothness of the gaming experince on this model but also every other element of the phones usage. Part of the impressive chipset found here also includes a great quality graphics processor which gives images not dissimilar to what you would expect to find on a computer monitor. This Adreno 220 chip boasts power that is several times greater than what they could pack into previous offerings and boasts specification very close to what you would find on a dedicated games console. Part of the excellence of this area of the phone is its ability to combine a number of textures including video and camera together with 3D graphics.

The HTC Sensation can expect to see some exciting applications arrive in the future to further enhance the whole gaming experience. One of the more recent releases is a programme that enables the user to use a Nintendo Wii controller alongside the Sensation. This effectively allows the phone to be used purely as a monitor and its large screen is perfect for this task. It also gives you more room to view the display as buttons do not need to be located on the touch panel. As an operating platform, Android is arguably the best system available for game downloads thanks to the ease of use for all kinds of programme developers. Just two years ago the Apple iPhone was the only phone where you could expect a good level of gaming. Since then however Android has boomed and 2011 really is the year for Android and take top billing. Games that were once exclusive to Apple have found their way onto the platform with the best example of this being the best selling "Angry Birds" which proved such a huge success in 2010.

The HTC Sensation is a multi purpose smartphone of the very highest quality and if you are looking for the perfect gaming handset then you will not go far wrong with this very high specification phone.

The HTC Sensation and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play are available now.
