HTC Sensation XL will tip up this month

UK ONLINE RETAILER Clove has announced that the HTC Sensation XL will tip up on 24 October.

Keeping in HTC's trend of turning phones out quickly, the Sensation XL will be available in just over two weeks time. HTC announced the handset just last night, when the firm said it would be available in November.

Clove said, "HTC last night announced the HTC Sensation XL and we can now confirm that we are expecting the first stock to arrive on October 24th."

Unfortunately Clove has no price tag attached to the phone yet but Expansys has it pegged at £519. This is only about £20 more than the Sensation XE.

The Sensation XL is the third Sensation phone to come from HTC and the second handset to feature Beats audio technology. It's also the largest smartphone HTC has produced with its 4.7in screen.

Other than a big touchscreen the device will have a Qualcomm 1.5GHz single-core processor, 16GB of internal memory and an 8MP camera that has a 28mm wide-angle lens. HTC has put the handset on a bit of a diet to achieve a slim 9.9mm profile.

The INQUIRER was at the launch of the phone this week so take a look at our video demo for a closer look at the Sensation XL. µ
