The HTC Evo 4G LTE Android smartphone has finally arrived on the Sprint wireless network, launching on June 2. That handset delivers a grand slam of features which are highly coveted in the smartphone marketplace. With one of the largest high resolution screens, one of the fastest processors, Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) 4.0 and the powerful, full range Beats Audio software package, Sprint’s HTC Evo 4G LTE handset may be the most full-featured and powerful smartphone that wireless carrier has ever offered. That handset recently benefited from a retail price reduction to $149 with a standard two-year activation and data plan at select retailers. Aside from all those desirable attributes, the HTC Evo 4G LTE smartphone delivers what is arguably the best camera features found in the mobile handset marketplace.
HTC ImageSense means that the handset has a special chip just for processing images, and the rear mounted 8.0 MP camcorder provides continuous autofocus while capturing 1,080P HD video. The special video pic feature means the Evo 4G LTE is one of only a couple of handsets which allow for capturing snapshots while simultaneously recording high resolution video. The HTC Evo 4G LTE is on sale at online retailers for as little as $149 for new customers.
Videos are recorded in stereo sound, and features like a back illuminated sensor (BSI) CMOS image sensor and high dynamic range mode (HDR) are on board. The instant image capture feature provides snapshot recording in a blazing 0.7 seconds, even from the lock screen. And the F/2.0 lens captures 40% more light than most smartphone cameras, and joins the built-in LED flash in allowing for excellent low light camera operation. A 1.3 megapixel chat cam rides up front on the Evo 4G LTE.
The handset also offers a huge 4.70 inch Super LCD 2 display that provides excellent extreme viewing angles with IPS technology. Display resolution runs at the high end of the 4G smartphone marketplace, at 720 x 1,280 pixels, delivered at 312 pixels per inch. The built-in kickstand and the powerful Beats Audio package provide video and movie viewing enhancements, and a speedy 1.5 GHz Krait central processor joins an Adreno 225 graphics processor in the Qualcomm MSM8960 microchip package on board. A full 1.0 GB of RAM memory is present, as is 16 GB of built-in storage and a microSD slot. Near Field Communications (NFC) support is present out-of-the-box, and works in tandem with wireless retail payment applications like Google Wallet, also providing wireless data share with other NFC enabled devices.
