More features of HTC Sense have been reported . The HTC Sensation will be sensational for two reasons: the next version of HTC Sense and its dual-core processor. It has an expected June 8, release date.
We already know that the HTC Sensation will come with the HTC Watch video rental and buying service. A new video from an HTC Roadshow demo shows that the new HTC Sense will have a new on-screen HTC keyboard with Swype-like style. The Trace feature is disabled by default but can be enabled from the keyboard setting. It has a refinement setting for different finger sizes.
The HTC Sensation video shows very fast speeds with no lagging.
The weather wallpaper shows the sky with animated weather forecasts. The narrator calls
the partly cloudy screen a sort of Godly-visitation. The most
interesting animation is a storm. The HTC Watch interface is
easy to navigate. The lock screen is customizable - to add your most used
apps for immediate launch. The widgets are
multilayered.
There is a darling love app for flicking petals off a daisy (video follows).
Reports suggest that the Trace feature will also
be available on the HTC EVO 4G. When we talked to HTC spokesman Keith
Nowak he confirmed that the new HTC Sense will support older HTC devices
however it may not support all the features in the new HTC Sense."This is the biggest visual change we have made in HTC Sense since it first came out. The newer features such as the highly animated transitions require a lot of processing power, making it difficult to bring to current devices," said Keith Nowak spokesman for HTC, "We may update current devices with some features of the new version of HTC Sense."
The HTC Sensation 4G has a 4.3-inch qHD (960 x 540) touchscreen
(16:9 aspect ratio), a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor,
an 8-megapixel camera
with 1080 video capture, 1GB of internal storage, microSD slot, 768MB
of RAM, 1520 mAh battery, FM radio, GPS, Wi-Fi, Hi-Fi audio and
Bluetooth.
For video viewing, it offers DLNA support and a micro-USB port that can
be adapted to HDMI. There is a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera.
