Vodafone UK has prematurely announced the HTC Sensation, the device formerly known by its codename of HTC Pyramid, and not expected to make its official debut until HTC’s event later on today. Confirmed is the 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 4.3-inch 540 x 960 touchscreen and 8-megapixel camera with autofocus and dual-LED flash.

There’s also a front-facing webcam, 3G, WiFi b/g/n and GPS, along with a unibody-style chassis. We can spy a microUSB port too, and Vodafone says there’ll be 4GB of internal storage and an 8GB microSD card bundled in the box.

No word on pricing or availability – all Vodafone say on that point is that the HTC Sensation is “coming soon” – but we expect to hear more later on today at the event-proper.
