HTC Evo 4G LTE Specs, Price and Review

HTC is on a roll in the US, first releasing the One S for T-Mobile and the One X for AT&T. Now, with the EVO 4G LTE on Sprint, it's ready to shift to the CDMA realm in a different costume. Internally, it's incredibly close to what's offered in the One series' flagship, but the Now Network has made a few tweaks to the device so it'll adjust to life as the latest smartphone in the fabled EVO lineup.

HTC Evo 4G LTE Review

If you had to compare the EVO 4G LTE with any of HTC's other phones, it'd be closest to the AT&T One X without a question. It stays true to several specs, such as the sensationally beautiful 720p S-LCD2 4.7-inch display (for a pixel density of 312ppi), 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 Krait SoC, 1GB of RAM, LTE compatibility, 8MP ImageSense rear camera and 1.3MP front-facing shooter. However, it adds a few tempting improvements: its 16GB internal storage space is now friends with a built-in microSD slot, beefing your maximum capacity up to 48GB. The phone's battery is also larger at 2,000mAh, versus 1,800mAh on both versions of the One X.

The phone is still just as pleasant to hold in hand, owing to a soft touch plastic back that's broken up by a smooth piece of aluminum plating. Again, if you've seen its earlier incarnation, you know what you're getting into, but there is a distinct difference here -- a combo of Sense 3.6 and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Luckily for prepaid consumers, the phone's set to launch sometime this June with that software combo pre-loaded; a sweet perk given its place on the lower end of the consumer spectrum. Hit up the gallery below for a further peek at this re-badged handset.

Sprint's newest flagship follows in the exact footsteps of its similarly specced predecessor, offering up more of the same all around near-excellence. Navigation through the seven customizable homescreens is predictably fast and responsive. It's hard to find much fault with the finesse of the EVO 4G LTE's user experience. Unfortunately, that briskness falls prey to occasional hiccups, as we noticed when the screen froze during an attempt to access the settings menu.
