With Mobile World Congress having concluded, the smartphone market is seriously heating up. But which of the super phones coming soon will be your next handset? Here’s how these upcoming beasts compare.
Exciting times are afoot if you’re coming off contract soon. Australia’s first 4G phone (the Velocity 4G) arrived yesterday, alongside the Samsung Omnia W, our first second-gen Windows Phone. Then there are upcoming phones like the HTC Titan II, Sony Xperia S, Nokia Lumia 900 and the Asus Padfone. Here’s how these upcoming beasts compare.
It’s not too often that a phone vendor launches two handsets under the same branding but with wildly different physical characteristics. So when the HTC Sensation XE and XL landed in the Giz Au offices, we split reviewing duties; Elly took on the larger Sensation XL and Alex took the smaller Sensation XE.
Got yourself an HTC Sensation, Sensation XE or XL and fancy a bit of that tasty new Ice Cream Sandwich? You won’t have too long to wait; HTC’s scheduled the update for “early 2012″, so hopefully it’ll be a post-christmas treat. [Eurodroid via Gizmodo UK]
HTC’s Sensation XL is a huge phone. Both the XL and XE can be astonishingly loud phones. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Giz Au attended the launch of both phones last night for some hands-on time.
The Sensation XL, Sensation XE and Explorer will all be Vodafone exclusives by year’s end. The carrier’s also picking up the original Sensation along the way.
