New HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio unveiled

MANILA, Philippines - HTC Corp., a global leader in mobile innovation and design, has unveiled the new HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio — the first in a new line of HTC smartphones to feature Beats Audio technology to deliver studio quality audio.

Taking HTC’s flagship handset to a new level of high fidelity audio, the HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio offers consumers the ultimate multimedia experience, setting a new standard for audio quality in the mobile market.

In addition, the HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio boosts performance and battery life even further with the addition of a blazing fast 1.5 GHz dual-core processor and an extended battery of 1730 mAh that enables users to listen, watch, speak and browse for even longer.

“We believe that audio is a crucial part of any consumer’s mobile experience and will continually push the audio boundaries to encompass not only improved voice but music, movies and games,” said Lennard Hoornik, president of HTC South Asia-Pacific.

“The HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio offers a truly incredible experience that demonstrates our leadership in innovation and technology, as well as our commitment to place consumers at the centre of their mobile worlds,” Hoornik said.

The HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio is the first handset to offer a Beats Audio experience — a combination of software and hardware that allows users to hear music the way the artist intended.

When used with the exclusive custom-made Beats headset, the handset automatically switches to the bespoke Beats Audio sound profile, delivering audio tracks tuned specifically for the headphones.

Plug in the custom-made Beats headset and users instantly notice a fuller bass and crisper vocals and a new level of clarity and range as the specially designed headphones work seamlessly with the HTC Music application.

The HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio also ships with a microSD card (8GB) allowing users to carry thousands of songs. The Beats headset features remote control, allowing users to pause, play or skip through tracks and answer/end calls while the phone is in your pocket.

The HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio is now available in the Philippines through Smart Communications wireless centers at Plan 2,000. It is also available through HTC authorized retailers at a suggested retail price of P31,500.
