Recent HTC phones have had above average cameras, and 8-megapixel camera on the XL took some great photos. While not as good as the photos we got out of the MyTouch Slide 4G, I thought the XL took some great looking shots. Some of the camera software from the Slide 4G was carried over into the XL, but not all of it. While the camera was rather nice, HTC seemed to be more focused with audio capabilities when it came to this phone.

Something that struck me as odd was the fact that the Sensation XL was running on a Single-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor. The phone was as zippy as any of the recently released dual-core phones, and my time spent playing Angry Birds Rio on the device went smoothly. I personally would have preferred a dual-core processor, but I have a feeling HTC stuck with a single-core in order to optimize battery life.

The phone is due out in November, but there are no pricing or carrier details as of yet. We'll keep you updated as we find out more about this giant of a phone.
