Asda has cut the price of the HTC Sensation XE super smartphone down to £247, nearly £100 less than the next cheapest price. The phone is SIM-free and unlocked, and can be collected from any Asda store for free.
The handset is HTC's former flagship smartphone and is not unlike the HTC One S. It has a 4.3in 960 x 540 pixel S-LCD display with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260 processor clocked at 1.5GHz, coupled with an Adreno 220 GPU, 768MB of RAM and 4GB internal storage.
Other features include Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread with an Ice Cream Sandwich update coming (but not for Jelly bean), an 8-megapixel camera with full HD video recording, and a microSD card slot. You'll also find HTC's Sense UI, Wi-Fi, a micro-USB port, a front-facing VGA camera, Bluetooth 3.0, Beats Audio technology, a Beats headset, A-GPS, TV-out (via MHL A/V link), and a 1,730mAh battery, all wrapped up in an aluminium unibody chassis with some touches of red.
We reviewed the phone back in October 2011 when it was worth £100 more and found out that "the Sensation XE is, as a package, HTC's most impressive handset yet, but unless you're a serious music nut it's hard to justify the extra outlay over the similar specced, identically sized and now significantly cheaper Sensation."

Gary Barlow donates 'Jubilee shoes' to Horder Centre - BBC News
Take That singer Gary Barlow has given the shoes he wore for the Queen's Jubilee concert to a Sussex orthopaedic charity to put up for auction.
The Horder Centre is trying to raise funds to create new woodland trails around its grounds in Crowborough.
The signed shoes were specially made for the singer songwriter and have the union jack and lyrics of Sing, the Jubilee song, inscribed on the sole.
A number of other celebrities have also donated shoes to the charity.
They include DJ Norman Cook, tennis player Ana Ivanovic, Olympic ice skating gold medallist Jayne Torvill, ex-England and Bath rugby captain Lewis Moody, singer and TV presenter Kim Wilde and Dame Vera Lynn.
Mr Moody donated a pair of world cup rugby boots.
"Playing a physically demanding sport like rugby at the highest level for many years, I understand the importance of great medical care and what a difference it makes," he said.
"When I was asked to be part of this campaign it was an easy decision to make."
Gary Barlow recently received an OBE in recognition of his efforts in organising the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert and his work on the commemorative song Sing.
During the three hour concert, which took place outside Buckingham Palace, a host of stars including Barlow performed for the Queen and the concert was broadcast to millions of TV viewers worldwide.
