Sprint may not be the number one carrier in US shores in terms of LTE coverage because its network is not as widespread as that of Verizon, but the Now Network more than makes up for this by having a massive handset base of LTE supporting handsets that its subscribers can take advantage of. There’s the HTC EVO 4G LTE to begin with which is one of the more capable handsets to be added on to Sprint’s portfolio of Android-powered devices.
The HTC Evo 4G LTE is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $0.01.
However, its being able to support the LTE network of Sprint is not the only thing that the HTC EVO 4G LTE can boast of. In addition to that, the handset also packs an NFC component in its chassis that enables a user of the handset to take advantage of its Google Wallet feature for on-the-go shopping. With this in play, all you need to do is setup your Google Wallet account and before you know it, you can already enjoy cashless shopping with your HTC EVO 4G LTE by swiping the handset at a mobile payment terminal.
The handset however was shrouded in controversy before it finally hit the shelves of the Now Network for mass consumption. Looking back, the HTC EVO 4G LTE gained infamy when it was held up at the US Customs last year because the International Trade Commission had to subject it to a thorough review and once over following Apple’s lawsuit claiming that it infringed on some of its patents. Google and HTC were quick to step into the scene though and revisited the firmware of the HTC EVO 4G LTE and took out the said offending code. This got the handset the approval it needed to continue on its journey to the shelves of Sprint and into the hands of the carrier’s subscribers.
If you’ve been wanting to make the HTC EVO 4G LTE your next mobile weapon of choice, the Now Network currently has a deal that will let you get your hands on the handset for next to nothing. As it stands, Sprint has already slashed the price point of the HTC EVO 4G LTE to rock-bottom prices and even instructed its online resellers to do the same. With this, owning an HTC EVO 4G LTE handset has never been this easy on the budget so you might as well take advantage of it. But of course, you will need to sign a new two-year service agreement with the Now Network to avail of the HTC EVO 4G LTE at its heavily discounted price point.
As for the handset, the circuitry of the HTC EVO 4G LTE is built around its QualComm MSM8960 SnapDragon chipset which comes with a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait processor and a full gigabyte of RAM. The storage space onboard the handset is pegged at 16GB but if this is not enough, the HTC EVO 4G LTE comes with a dedicated microSD card slot in its chassis for memory expansion purposes. Display-wise, the HTC EVO 4G LTE comes with a 4.7-inch Super IPS LCD 2 panel with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels while its dual-shooter configuration includes a rear 8MP shooter and a front 1.3MP video call and self-portrait snapper.
