  • The Sensation 4G fits well in my hand and even though it has a 4.3 inch display it closely matches the size of the 3.7 inch Google Nexus One.

  • The entire back and sides of the Sensation 4G come off rather than just a back panel. You can see there are several gold connectors that match the back of the device.
