Leaked HTC Sense 4.0 Previewed: New UI, New Features, And More

Tech site PocketNow claims that they have had hands-with a near-final leaked build of HTC Sense 4.0. This new version of Sense will contain a new UI, new features, no on-screen buttons for Ice Cream Sandwich, meaning that the hardware will still carry four distinct capacitive buttons: home, menu, search, and back. Sense 4.0 will also feature a full landscape mode, a completely reworked mail app, tight Dropbox integration with 50GB of free storage, a Safari Reader-style function for the browser (that would be awesome, HTC), and universal Beats audio for supported phones. That’s quite a long set of achievements for Sense UI that hasn’t been observed for quite a while now.

There’s even talk of a 3D task switcher. However, since there are no photos of it in action, we’d have to label this with a grain of salt before anything stated by PocketNow can be taken into serious consideration. Via: PocketNow

HTC Amaze 4G Review

First the sensation, then came amazement. It is a pretty awful pun on the Sensation 4G being the former to the Amaze 4G, but it stands perfectly on its own. What the Amaze 4G has done is simply raise its HSPA+ data speeds to 42MBps, a faster 1.5GHz dual-core processor, new styling, and a better sensor in the 8 megapixel camera, capable of 1080p HD video recording (same specs for the camera, just better quality on the Amaze). To top all of that off, the Amaze 4G has a fantastic design reminiscent of the Sensation 4G (obviously), but alos the HTC Legend, an Android handset so old (by Android’s standards) that it is only a legend by now. Sorry, HTC just makes it easy to make puns out of the names of their products.

Full review after the break. And it’s the last LM review for 2011.

HTC Sensation 4G Review

The HTC Sensation 4G seems to be a favorite for HTC. It has been revised twice (or perhaps three times, with the Amaze 4G), first in a Beats Audio version, then a large version with Beats Audio software and headphones. However this is just a base model, and instead is clocked at 1.2GHz at dual-core instead of the 1.5GHz dual-core seen on the aforementioned devices. Moreover, a 960×540 Super LCD screen, “4G” HSPA+, and an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording is all part of the snappy package. And despite newer handsets like the Amaze 4G, the Sensation 4G is a classic that still isn’t even a year-old with other OEMs just catching up to its specs. Check out the review after the break to check out what it still has going for it.
