HTC reveal its latest handset, the HTC EVO 4G, which some tech pundits are already saying, from a technical specifications stand point, is the best mobile phone ever.
What’s in the box?
The HTC EVO 4G is a Google Android powered device, with the expected Sense UI interface built on top of Android. More importantly, though, is what this phone can do. It has a 4.3-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 480×800 pixels. Its processing is done by the blisteringly fast 1GHz Snapdragon QSD8650 with 512MB of RAM, too. There’s 1GB of built-in memory, with an 8GB MicroSD card included.

In addition, the HTC EVO 4G has a high quality flash-enabled 8 megapixel camera on the back of the phone, which is also capable of recording 720p HD video. A 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera rounds out the image capturing capabilities on the phone. Most importantly, the phone is very smooth, and transitions between menus and applications are genuinely seamless. This may change still, once it’s been through heavy use, but in its current incarnation, the phone is simply amazing.
Momentum, momentum, momentum?
Outside of Apple, no company has more momentum than HTC in the smartphone market. Though the momentum gathered from a slew of very well received phones like the HTC Hero, then the HTC Legend and the HTC Desire, seemed to be interrupted by an unexpected lawsuit, it seems HTC has pushed even that aside to carry on its charge in the smartphones market with the EVO 4G.

The HTC EVO 4G is being carried by Sprint in the US and with the phone being CMDA, it is still unclear whether it will be GSM adapted for the European market. Given that HTC enjoys much of its success in Asia and Europe, as is evidenced in initial sales of the HTC Legend and HTC Desire, it is likely this phone will be headed to Europe soon. It’s set to be released between June and September 2010, exclusively on Sprint.
