The HTC Sensation 4G - Taking You Into The Future

We all know how good HTC cell phones are, but what we really need is a phone that is capable of taking us into the future and all that 2012 has to offer, thankfully for us, the makers of HTC decided to launch the HTC Sensation 4G in June 2011. You may wonder what the difference is between this cell phone and those that don't have the 4G label, including the 'HTC Sensation'. The difference is the network that the phone runs on and the fact that it is a lot more secure and quicker to use as opposed to the 3G network.

For now it is only T-Mobile that uses the 4G network on this particular phone in the United States, but other networks may catch up at some point.

This great looking phone is a joy to use and its modern design that stands out from the rest of the cell phones on the market. Let's take a closer look at the HTC Sensation that is ready to take us into the future:

Height: 4.9 inches

Weight: Just over five ounces

Depth: Just under half an inch

Memory Capacity: 768 Megabytes of RAM which isn't the largest memory capacity you will find, but the HTC Sensation 4G does come with an 8 GB micro SD card and the phone can support up to a massive 32 GB of memory, which more than compensates for the lack of RAM.

Camera: An excellent 8 Mega-pixel rear-facing camera that records video with up to 30 frames per second and comes with an LED flash and HD video recording. The front-facing camera has 0.3 mega pixels and works very nicely.

Operating system: Gingerbread 2.3.3 which can be upgraded to the 2.3.4. The HTC overlay 3.0 is also included.

CPU: 1.2 GHz Dual-Core processor which ensures your commands are processed quickly and lag is minimal.

Display: Gorilla glass is used to protect the 4 inch display that gives us plenty of room to work with while you make use of the 540x960 resolution.

Connectivity: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and an FM stereo receiver, plus a USB port that will help you to transfer your files to and from your HTC Sensation 4G via a PC.

Media Files and Formats: When you want to transfer files to your phone, you can be sure that you can transfer a wide variety of them including: WAV, WMA, MP3, Audio AAC and more.

Available from $549.00 if you buy the HTC Sensation 4G unsubsidized or $199.99 with a two years contract, this phone has to be one of the best Android phones around that will take you steadily into the future while every other phone is left far behind and desperately trying to catch up.

Taking Quality Pics on Your Android

When the first Android debuted a few years back, smart phone cameras were promising but still very rudimentary. Things have changed quite a bit since then. Nowadays, Android cameras can match or exceed the capabilities of many point and shoot cameras in terms of picture quality and features. Still, taking amazing photos with an Android isn't always a cakewalk. Despite the advanced features of many built-in phone cameras, they're still not quite as good as true stand alone models. Here are a few helpful tips to take the best photos possible with your Android.

Ditch The Digital Zoom
While it may seem like a terrific idea at first, the zoom function on your camera is actually a hindrance to taking good photographs. That's because of the way your phone's camera is set up. The optics are fixed, so it doesn't have a telephoto lens like a traditional digital camera. What that means is that your on-board camera uses digital zoom to merely enlarge the size of each pixel in the image you capture. That leads to fuzzy pictures that aren't crisp and clear. If you're taking a picture of something far away, just move closer.

Use Your Flash
Obviously, your LED flash is great for taking photos in low-light environments or at night. But many neglect to use it during the day for better pictures. In extremely sunny conditions outdoors, bright overhead light creates a lot of shadows on your subject. Using your flash to "fill" the shadowy areas makes for better daytime photos. You'll notice sharper details right away when you start using the flash in daytime shots. The only downside is reduced battery life, so use it sparingly.

Improve Your Software
Your camera's default photography application may be fine for basic shots, but there's plenty of software on the Android Market to help you take get the most out of your hardware. CameraZOOM FX is an award-winning app that can help you take pictures in even the most challenging situations. Big Camera Button is another nifty application that helps you to avoid taking shaky photos. It's an application that allows you to take pictures by simply tapping your screen rather than pushing an actual button on the side of your phone.

Final Thoughts
While smart phone camera technology has improved steadily with each passing year, how well your digital photos come out still depends heavily on environment. In other words, you'll probably still want to carry at least a point and shoot compact with you for more difficult shots. But the day is fast approaching when entry-level cameras will be all but obsolete. Until that day arrives, these tips should serve you well in taking the best photos possible with your Android.
