The HTC EVO is the world’s first 4G smart phone that runs on the Android platform. Because it is a 4th generation mobile device, there are some unique features and capabilities on the Evo that many other devices do not offer. The Sprint 4G systems used on the EVO provides a higher capacity broadband capability than the older 3G mobile devices including the iPhone. The Evo is the first phone that enables the user to video chat without having to be on a Wi-Fi connection. Also the 4G network offers speeds 10x faster than that of a standard 3G connection. The only setback of the 4G network is that it isn't available in as many states as 3G is.

About 30 countries offered 4G networks in 2010 and 15 more countries are due to come online. Of course, when 4G connections are not available, the phone can still connect at 3G speeds. A great feature on the EVO is that you can share your 4G link with up to eight other devices simultaneously. This means that you are able to connect a laptop as well as other devices to your 4G connection. A 4G linkage is similar in speed to a cable modem or DSL connection for your personal computer. The HTC EVO uses a fast 1 GHz SnapDragon processor to complement the high bandwidth internet capacity.

Because of the strong processor, users will enjoy a better experience when it comes to heavy duty tasks such as video chat and gaming. The HTC EVO is the first device to use Qualcomm’s 1 GHz SnapDragon processor, which was specifically designed for 4G phones. EVO’s CPU works together with 512 MB of RAM and 1 GB of internal data storage to provide premium performance. There is also an 8 GB SD card for memory expansion. The extra large 4.3 inch touch screen allows user to take full advantage of the outstanding 720p resolution . The TFT LCD touch screen is reportedly the largest on the market. It also has a very neat built-in kickstand for a better viewing experience and with its focus system that automatically brings images and text into focus without any manual effort.

In addition to the 4G network and high-performance SnapDragon processor, the EVO is also loaded with many other nice features. The mobile phone has not one but two cameras. The main camera is found in the usual position while the secondary camera is front facing. The main camera is rated at 8 megapixels with flash and HD video capability. The second camera has only a 1.3 MP and is more for video chat and other similar activities.
