With an ever growing store for android phones, the hype that surrounds the Htc Evo 4G is of the same type that surrounded Google's Nexus One back in January. With the resolution of a 4.3 inch screen, an 8 megapixel camera, 720p video camera, 4G WiMax and even a kickstand, it's no wonder that this phone is the topic of so much talk. However, either you will like this phone or not depends on your own exact taste.
One of the first things that will hit you about Evo is that it's huge and you will either love the feel of this heavy phone in your hand or you will find it awkward and annoying to be lugging around such a huge device. But the weight and size are not just for show. The phone is sturdy and can withstand a fall or five, so for the clumsier surrounded by us, this could be an invaluable feature.
Even if you don't care for big and heavy phones, other thing which makes the Evo worth inspecting is that it runs on Sprint's 4G WiMax network, connecting you to the web with an incredible speed. The phone's 8 megapixel camera is able to shoot a 720p video, so it takes care of Hd on its own. The pictures turn out gorgeous in daylight (as should be incredible from an 8 megapixel camera); however, the capability of the photos at nighttime is questionable.
The screen, although massive, is gorgeous and the 400x800 resolution makes everything look sharp. The Evo uses a Tft screen rather than Oled one (which Nexus uses). The old makes the screen easy to see at all times, while you could barely see the screen with the latter in sunlight. One of the greatest downsides of this phone, however, is its battery life. The maximum amount of time that the battery of this phone lasts is about 4 hours, so for those who move around a lot, you might want to keep your charger handy.
Another thing that may put some population off is the price. You need a fat wallet to commit to this phone. Besides the upfront costs, the phone's maintenance costs and the price for buying other features may drive some population up the wall.
In the end, however, either you like or hate this phone will depend largely on your own taste. If you want a big and brawny phone with a plethora of specs then this is for you. If, however, big phones aren't your thing and you prefer something simpler and cheaper, you might want to think checking out something else.
