Prematurely turning up on Vodafone UK’s website are details on the new HTC Sensation high-end, Android smartphone.
Packing a generous 4.3-inch qHD (540 x 960 pixel) SLCD display, the handset comes with a 1.2 megapixel front-facing camera with an 8 megapixel shooter with face detection on the back, with a dual-LED flash on hand for grabbing the late night party shots.
Inside lurks a 1.2GHZ (dual-core) processor, with the phone offering 4GB of internal memory with an extra 8GB memory card bundled in the pack.
Faster than the Desire HD and offering more storage, the product page for the Sensation on Voadafone’s site has slipped out ahead of the official HTC launch event later today, so we should have more details for you later.
