First of all,the main difference between both of this phones are the screens. Sensation XL has a bigger screen but the resolution goes to XE because the screen resolution is about 256 ppi compared to XL which has about 196 ppi. Eventhough the resolution is slighty lower than XE,the XL still has a much more vibrant screen than XE. Sensation XL carries its own luggage inside,which is 16gb internal memory without external while the XE has a more flexible feature by presence of 8gb internal and MMC slot. Sensation XL is suited with a smaller capacity battery and it has a single-core 1.5GHz processor making it a negative point compared to higher capacity battery and dual-core processor in XE.

For the pricing,in Malaysia, XL is around RM1700 to RM2000 and XE is around RM100 less than XL. In USA, XL is priced at $500 to $700 and XE is priced at about $50 to $100 cheaper.

So you will still wonder what is the conclusion??If it is for me,Sensation XE will be the best because it is present in 2 different colors, a better processor and the most important for me is the battery life. What will you choose??
