Previously known as the HTC Pyramid, this dual-core Android phone is now officially known as the HTC Sensation 4G!

Yes baby, everyone’s got dual-core except for Apple’s iPhone, and HTC is now introducing a new dual-core smartphone. This new Sensation 4G is powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor (Qualcomm MSM 8260), though at this point we still don’t know the GPU that’s paired with it.

The phone’s very big at 4.3-inch, much like the Desire HD. In contrast, the Incredible S is only 4-inch. This here is a qHD screen running at 540 x 960, using Super LCD technology. The OS that’s coming with it is Android Gingerbread (Android 2.3) with Sense 3.0.

The 8-Megapixel camera at the back has LED flash, and can record 1080p video at up to 30fps. Speed wise, this his HSPA+ device promises download rates as fast as 14.4 Mbps. As for Sense, the Sensation also ushers in various tweaks to the company’s UI, including customizable lock screens, 3D transitions, an improved weather app, and HTC Watch, the service introduced with the company’s Flyer tablet that lets you download DVD-quality movies.

Before hitting the states this summer, the Sensation will launch in the UK, Germany, and the rest of HTC’s “key” European markets in mid-May, with Vodafone scoring a Europe-wide exclusive for “a couple of weeks.” No winder DiGi is throwing the Incredible S at such a dirt cheap price.
