HTC, during their event in London today, announced the second smartphone in the world to be powered by Beats after the HTC Sensation XE. A completely new smartphone, the HTC Sensation XL, even if it bears the same name as two other HTC phones. Anyway, the new smartphone is, in my opinion, is designed beautifully. It still holds the HTC aesthetics that we see in all of their smartphones but this is quite different by just a glance you can tell its an HTC but you can also tell that this is different. Also, the HTC Sensation XL is one of the company's largest smartphone ever. The device is expected to be available in markets in November. Head over the break for the specs.

The HTC Sensation XE is ahead if you compare it to the Sensation XL. The XE is a dual-core handset and brags it's 1080p video recording. The XL, on the other hand, is a single-core smartphone and because of the chip used can only shoot 720p of video. But that also has an advantage, since the XL is not a dual-core processor, its thinner and is lighter than the XE.
