Yes, i can see you do have it, but.. why?
it isn't just because you are bitter, that the XE is better on many things?

The only thing that i can see is greater, is the screensize..
But then again, why have a bigger screen with less pixels?
The Sensation and Sensation XE use the same 8260 processor although the XE is merely clocked higher. Both phones (and I'll put money on this) utilize a badly coded CPU (HTCs fault) rendering the apparent "awesome" dual core somewhat useless. I have used the Sensation and was appalled by it. It was choppy, slow to respond and was nowhere near as pleasing as the XL (which, despite being only single core, uses a newer generation CPU). The XL beat the Sensation on ALL tests other than benchmarking and even then the Sensation was only marginaly faster...but it's using a dual core, lolwot?
The GPU in the Sensation and XE is better than the one in the XL but there is virtually nothing demanding enough on smart phones that can really show the difference.
As far as RAM goes, although the XE has more, I have still yet to find someone that didn't find 700 odd mb of RAM to be more than adequate.
And then there's the battery...
Because the Sensation and XE are running an inefficient CPU, the battery drain is rapid, regardless of whether the XE cell has greater capacity or not.

And in my opinion, quarter HD screens look crap.

There you go.

In a nutshell, the practicality of the XL surpassed the other two, despite "better" specs.

IMO

And I'm definitely not bitter about it. I chose the XL even though I had the option of getting the XE or Sensation.
The guy in the store even offered me a Galaxy Nexus for the exact same price that I'm paying per month on this contract and I turned that down too.

3RD: SENSATION1520mAh, up to 500 mins talk time

Thee Sensation XL offers quite a big advantage in terms of battery life over the straight HTC Sensation and Sensation XE depsite not having as big a battery pack as the last of the three. The difference is likely to be down to having a less power-hungry system-on-a-chip as well as having fewer pixels push and possibly to do with the nature of the screen technology as well. Whatever the reason, though, the result is that if you’re deeply concerned about not getting enough juice out of your handset, you might want to seriously consider the HTC Sensation XL over the others."

Have you read what you posted?
Yes, i have read it.
I asked for your opinion, not what i could read, because it sounds like you have had both phones in your hands. I have had none of them, i am at home with a broken leg, so gonna buy on the internet and have it send here, cant go to a shop to test them right now

Hope you will be cured soon, mate

Im going right now to take my Sensation XL, that has just arrived from Leipzig today. I really think that is te best smartphone than others, only because is the last and I think is the desire hd evolved.
I think that sensation XE was an "experiment" that has materialized in the XL, with the beats audio and everything else.
I had a desire hd and were very proud about it; last week I sold it. Great phone indeed

I've had the Desire HD and I'm loving the sensation XL major turn off is the no sd card slot for expansion and I really hope Capy keeps developing other roms for this great device and hope that other developers will join him as well

I did the step and made the change from DHD to SXL, and guess what.... i have no regret of my choice i made. Bigger screen, faster response, better battery life, and the bonus for me was the Beats Audio pack i've got (Solo HD by Dr.Dre)
