A few days back we had reported about a special edition of HTC’s Sensation with beats audio will be coming and now HTC has confirmed this rumor. This will be the first phone to feature Dr. Dre’s beats audio and you can see it’s traces all over the device, as color of the capacitive buttons are now red, also there is a beats audio logo in the back panel.
This device comes also comes with Beats headphones and extra audio settings in the device. The press release has mentioned that it will be giving studio quality audio. Other upgrades include a 1.5 GHz dual core processor, this is the same processor used in HTC Sensation but clocked at 1.5 GHz, it will also sport a 1730 mAh battery. This looks like a great device, but has HTC solved it’s battery draining and antenna issues which it had with the first Sensation? I hope they did, then this would be a great device if priced right.

HTC Sensation XE will be available across EMEA and Asia Pacific from late September.
