Mobile : HTC EVO 4G

Sprint announced the release of HTC EVO 4G this summer 2010, a lot of new features with this device will make it the best device so far. say hello for the first WiMAX device with android operating system with sprint contract. I believe it won’t take long time to be unlocked or released by another carrier.

so HTC EVO 4G with 4.3 inches TFT capacitive touch screen 480 x 800 pixels, 1 GHz snapdragon processor but with different model installed on HTC HD2 I believe it just improvement to processor structure to be able to do other features specially this device comes with 4G technology or WiMAX.

8 Mega pixel camera able to 720p video and 1.3 mega pixel camera in front for video calling and application required in front webcam. Built in 1 GB of memory and 512 MB of RAM and customizable microSD card slot but not sure if it will be upgradeable to 32 GB like HTC HD2 or maybe more.

Also you will be able to watch high definition movies with HDMI output. 1500 mAh Bigger battery life than HTC HD2 .

Android operating system installed version 2.1 with new sense UI version installed.

Sprint didn’t announce any details about pricing or when exactly it will be released this summer. rumor said it will be released this month April 2010 with 3G working only.
