HTC’s first Android 4G phone!


The HTC Evo is the latest smartphone which is a 4G device designed just for Sprint. This phone is the first phone offered for a 4G network in the United States.
Here are some of the features of the Evo:

• A 4.3-inch touchscreen. A lot bigger that the iPhone’s (3.5 inches) and the Motorola Droid (3.7-inch screens)
• 2 cameras
• GPS navigation
• HDMI output and mobile hotspot capability
• Google’s Android 2.1 operating system and HTC’s custom user interface called the Sense.

Sprint claims its 4G network can offer download speeds up to 10 times faster than current 3G networks making it superfast when it comes to data access.

Well, Sprint and HTC haven’t announced pricing for the Evo but, be ready to grab your device this summer.
The Evo will use a 1-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. One of my friends, who works for Qualcomm, was talking about this processor – this is a super cool processor which enables real time computing with low power consumption which ultimately leads to a longer battery life.
