This one's a reminder of how phones looked before big batteries and multi-core chips took over. The HTC Sensation XL price in Malaysia starts from RM1780, and for that you get a 4.7-inch S-LCD screen running at 480 x 800 pixels, large for its time even if the pixel density (about 199 ppi) looks soft by today's standards. Under the hood is a single-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion processor with just 768 MB RAM and 16 GB of fixed storage; there's no memory card slot, so what you see is what you get.

The 8 MP rear camera comes with autofocus and dual-LED flash, plus 720p video capture, decent specs for a phone from late 2011. A 1.3 MP front camera handles basic video calls. Android 2.3 Gingerbread ships out of the box, though it's upgradable to Ice Cream Sandwich if you want a newer interface.

Battery capacity sits at 1600 mAh, modest even for its generation, and the body runs 9.9mm thick at 162.5g. It only comes in White, and connectivity covers Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, and HSDPA data speeds up to 14.4 Mbps.
