If you have not seen the new HTC Evo 4G yet you should take a quick look at this monster smartphone. It handles some of the newest networks that many smartphones can not. Read on to get more acquainted with what is probably the forerunner of smartphones of the future.
The overall impression of this HTC Evo 4G is one of a big; “Wow !”. It has a killer screen, a likable operating system and gobs of power and speed. You will want to take a look around the back of the smartphone and see that HTC included a kickstand. What does a smartphone need a kickstand for ? This unit happens to have a big enough screen and powerful processor to show videos with great quality.
The screen on the Evo 4G is 4.3 inches. It is high-resolution, so it is not hard to view for extended times. It practically takes up the whole front of the smartphone. The processor is the speedy “snapdragon” made by Qualcomm and achieves a top speed of 1000 megahertz. That is blindingly fast compared to many smartphones now on the market. For comparison, the Nokia N900 runs at 600 megahertz and is considered a “top dog” for Nokia.
The operating system is well taken care of by the HTC Sense interface. So many people like this that it has become a very popular interface over the Android platform. The Android version is not the newest on the Evo 4G, but it is the 2.1 ( Eclair ) version that allows “pinch and zoom” effects. Android is coming up in the world of apps also, and it is likely that you will be able to find what you need in the Android Market. From staying in touch with friends, to saving money with barcodes, to saving your personal information safely, the Android system is a top-knotch solution for business or play.
You get a brand new WiMaX feature with the ability to download or surf the net up to ten times faster than Wi-Fi. Hardly any smartphones have this ability yet. The Evo is one of the first. For voice networks, CDMA is used in the 850 and 1900 bands. A free service called “Fring” is also a way to use WiMaX for things you usually use a cell tower for. The extra power of the HTC Evo allows you to use their software to save money over video calling on carrier networks.
The HTC Evo 4G is nearly five inches tall but it is also just half an inch thick. It is attractive and has a large battery ( 1500 mAh ). It can hook up to a monitor thanks to its HDMI connector. The high quality eight ( yes, eight ) megapixel camera can take high definition video. This is another reason the Evo is special over other smartphones. A kickstand is thrown in for easy viewing.
Besides the super-smartphone abilities, the Evo 4G is being sold at Sprint for $189.99 after an “instant discount”. That is a good price for a unit with this much innovation and power.
