Before the HTC Evo was released, it created a lot of buzz around consumers, but did this Android smart phone meet all expectations? This Article will describe some of the top features of the Evo, such as its 4.3 inch touch screen, the dual cameras, and its 4G capabilities. Each of these features adds considerably to the phone’s capabilities Although the HTC Evo has had its drawbacks running on a low battery life but its other features outweighed the bad to make up a very good Android phone.

One of the most colorful new features in the HTC Evo is “Leap,” a multitasking manager that allows for users to easily view all running applications by simply pinching the screen. The HTC Evo also ships with HTC’s Sense user interface, featuring a Friend Stream widget that collects information from Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter and aggregates it into a single interface.

The HTC Evo also features a 4.3 inch capacitive touch screen that displays high definition content. This touch screen is easily one of the biggest in today’s market. While the size does add to the form-factor of the phone, the HTC Evo’s ability to view and edit high definition makes the larger size more than an acceptable sacrifice for the video content that the HTC Evo provides. Since this is one of the best phones for streaming and editing high definition video, a kickstand is provided on the rear of the Evo to provide a convenient viewing angle.

The HTC Evo features an 8-megapixel camera, allowing for high definition photos and videos to be captured. Videos can be edited directly from the phone and then rerouted in high definition to a compatible television. With the second camera that is located on the front, users can easily take self portrait pictures and video chat as well.

Third party manufacturers have been quick to begin to produce a variety of HTC Evo accessories, including the HTC Evo case and HTC Evo screen protector. Note that screen protectors are a wise investment for any smart phone, but especially for a phone with a touch screen as large as HTC Evo’s, a proper screen protector is vital to ensuring the long-term health of the phone. Additionally, the HTC Evo supports microSD cards, allowing users to store the video and audio they capture onto removable media. The phone itself includes an 8GB microSD card for immediate storage capabilities.

The HTC Evo also makes use of Sprint’s new 4G service, affording it access to some of the fastest internet available on mobile phones. While Sprint’s 4G service is not yet widely available (currently this service has been rolled out in less than fifty cities country-wide), this phone’s ability to connect to 4G will allow it to remain relevant for several years of use. Phone users can expect up to a download speed of 2-15 MB per second, which is significantly faster than other services when it comes to streaming high definition videos without downtime.
