HTC EVO 4G: Official Review #unbox-therapy

hey what's gonna YouTube so he knows

best here this is my review of the HTC

EVO 14 and of course it's an Android

based phone on the Sprint network this

is actually the first 4G phone here in

United States just going to jump right

into it and as far as made by HTC they

make really good cell phones and even

first pick it up you're gonna notice the

4.3 LCD screen this screen has a

resolution of 800 by 640 it's very nice

very bright on the bottom of the screen

you found four can pass through the

bunch to be able to interact with the OS

but and also in the top of the screen

you find a 1.3 megapixel front-facing

camera now on the right side of the

phone you find the volume rocker but on

the back of the phone you'll find an 8

megapixel camera that's also able to

record in and shoot 720p HD video as

well and to the left of the camera

you'll find dual LED flash to the right

of the camera you actually find the

speaker and another added feature on

this phone is actually features a

freaking kickstand I never had a phone

with a kickstand before it's pretty

sturdy it's not gonna break it all and

good to set up on your desk or in your

office if you're on the plane put it on

the table tray and be able to watch

movies very easily on it also on the

bottom of the phone does feature an HDMI

out port so if you have any HD content

that you either record with the camera

or any movies that you put on there you

can play it back on the HDTV just hook

it up and boom there you go so I really

like the honk where it feels good in

your hand it has a nice little weight to

it not heavy at all but it just feels

very nice and started let's talk about

the software the speech is the Android

2.1 software but HTC also put their HTC

Sense user interface on top of that

Android OS which it really looks

fantastic this phone has really nice

customization features you have multiple

home pages that you can customize to

your heart's desire you can change the

icons on there you can add widgets you

can just change the whole different look

of it

and also a cool thing that it does have

with it just adding the widgets to it is

very easily and not just talking about

just your regular clock or your your

weather widget but as a YouTube was it

Twitter widget you know Facebook widget

a lot of cool things with it but the

main thing I really like about the phone

is a really good customization for it

and also cool thing you can do with it

does have to live background so some of

this stuff you priority know if you look

at the Android base for mobile hit them

real quick as the live backgrounds to be

able to add a moving wall cable to the

back cover that also adds a nice little

different element any time I show up

that falling people see that they like

oh that's nice

it's just nice so the the OS is really

good the internet browser is all right I

don't

that's a mobile safari but this is

alright looking at the keyboard for the

phone the keyboard I do find it's a

little bit cramped and I think they can

they definitely say they are gonna be

the are going to be looking to

redesigning the keyboard they I mean

Google said itself they need to take

another look at the keyboard but the

keyboard is fine but I think it's a

little cramped in portrait mode also

let's look at the basics this problem

through the settings problems in the

marketplace everything works very fluid

very smoothly but one thing you have to

notice about this phone is that it does

have a 1 gigahertz Snapdragon processor

inside of it so it's a pretty snappy

processor but even still once you get

about nine and ten applications running

at the same time on this phone it does

tend to snap some slowdown even you

going through some menus or hitting an

application it can't be a one or two

seconds delay to get up to having like

you know up to ten applications running

at the same time but if you get a cool

little application on advanced task

killer bleeders name of it tap it one

time and it can be able to disclose all

your background application so that's a

quick fix but hopefully there's a

permanent fix for this and we'll see

what the new 2.2 for you of the accent

brings to the phone as far as how that

fixes that this is talk about the camera

again it has the 8 megapixel camera and

the interface for the camera is very

simple very smooth very easy to use it

takes pretty nice decent pictures as you

can see here it's very nice pictures not

too bad the HD video it is 720p I think

it's 24 frames per second some people

like it some people don't

I think it's it's the best video Paul II

got out of camera myself it's not is not

gonna be as good as a flip or any other

camera like that a dedicated video

camera but I think is decent it's not

outstanding but we'll see how this

camera stacks up to other cameras or the

phones coming out here with HD quality

as well and also you can use the

front-facing camera for any type of

video chat application or any type of

video calling or using an application

like quick or fring and it works pretty

good as well everything was smooth the

quality of my video was fine the other

person's quality was good and so you

have a little bit of like Kings being a

totally dark room but the audio and the

video is actually pretty decent for the

video caller

video playback on the screen itself is

actually a joy to use I'm here using the

YouTube application to playback some

high quality video right here on the

device itself it's one of the few

devices that can play YouTube high

quality there's regular over think is

over 3G

f-4g and I'm playing it over Wi-Fi and

this equality looks really really good

and it definitely sounded the speak of

being on the back of the phone does not

hurt it at all you can still hear

everything a lot of clears go to check

out this clip so overall the HSN

software runs fine on here getting to

get about ninety ten applications

running it does tend to slow down but uh

voice quality on this thing it sounds

pretty nice and nothing bad at all

didn't have that many drop calls at all

in this phone and also you can set this

thing up the one cool feature of this

phone is you can use it as a mobile

hotspot itself so ever I know about the

Verizon my father sprint modified but

this thing can create a Wi-Fi bubble

using the 3G or 4G network and trace the

Wi-Fi bubble around you so you can have

your IMAX or five I think up between

five and eight different devices all

hooked up into your own little personal

Wi-Fi network curate it with using the

internet off your cell network so it has

that feature built into it now this is

an extra thirty bucks but comparative to

what other things other devices that do

the same thing is normally 60 bucks so

it's really cool feature to have your

speeds are great on here I'm not in a 4G

area I will be going to a 4G area here

soon and I will be more Las Vegas to be

exact but we'll be going there and I

will be testing out the 4G and I put

another video up with that going over

that so having that mobile hotspot

feature is really cool it's a really

nice little feature to it and I'm just

in love with it so overall I really like

this phone this again this is my first

Android phone that I owned I played with

them in the past and playing with them

it felt really good

that's what she said but uh I really

like this phone I mean this is a great

alternative to a lot of other phones out

there it's a nice solid overall phone

again again I think with this new 42.2

update it's gonna fix a lot of the

slowdown it's just with a lot of

applications running in the background

but I really can't tell you how good

this phone is the video calling looks

great on there the video check looks

great and it's just overall so nice

solid phone I can't wait to be able to

use 4G on this phone as well so this is

my review I give it a salute I

definitely recommend this one definitely

if you're on the Sprint network but

again thanks for watching I'll catch you

later peace

you
