Good news if you’ve got an Amaze 4G or an HTC Sensation, you can now go and download Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Interestingly enough, these phones don’t appear to be getting the Sense 4 that debuted on the One X. Instead, the documentation says that the Amaze 4G and the Sensation will get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with Sense 3.6.

You can look forward to some standard ICS features like Face Unlock, re-sizeable widgets, data usage controls, improved battery life and more. This update also means you’ll be able to download cool apps like Chrome for Android, which needs Android 4.0 to run.

You’ll be able to do a system update check in your settings and you can also try to get a manual update. For Android 4.0 update information on the Sensation, go here and the Amaze 4G information can be found here.
