Here we take a look at the iPhone 4 8GB and compare it with the HTC Sensation, another model due to fall in price thanks to the introduction of the new Sensation XE.
The HTC Sensation runs on the Google Android operating system and come with version 2.3 installed. This platform is very pleasing on the eye with the now familiar seven page homescreen and colourful icons. The OS is overlayed with the latest version of the HTC Sense user interface. Sense UI is widely regarded as the best system of its kind and features some superb social networking facilities together with a functional notification system. The iPhone 4 8GB has undergone an overhaul in the sense that the phone can now be upgraded to iOS5, the operating system designed for use on the iPhone 4S. This update puts the model ahead of the Sensation in this department thanks to excellent facilities such as the iCloud system that backs up your data remotely.

In the imaging department the HTC takes some beating thanks to a digital still camera capable of photographing images at a resolution of 8 million pixels which is 60% higher than what the Apple device can offer. Things are a little more evenly matched when it comes to video capture with both handsets offering high definition standard at a resolution of 720P. The area where the iPhone has always excelled is audio playback and once again the musical side of the Sensation is no match for the excellent iPod software that is offered on the iPhone.
