HTC Evo 4G short review
The 4.3 inch screen smartphone will come soon and there's always need of a short review of any phone coming. This is a high-expected device, though it's maybe not the best coming, but I think it deserves being bought. It's capable of 3G/4G, has two cameras, will be released Friday, on 4th June, has Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities and on a service plan it will not be more than $199 from Sprint.
Even if the huge bright screen improves the quality of everything, the battery is not good at all. I would even call it terrible. Having this Evo 4G, with that big screen, will never let you go back to anything else before. It's just a stunning view. The phone is thick and fits well in pocket, you will never find it uncomfortable or too big to carry. You may find it big when you are talking on it, but otherwise you won't even feel you have it with you.
Evo 4G is light, solid and strong. The back camera, an 8MP device, has a nice design and it's powerful than ever. Unfortunately, the camera may get damaged because the phone rests on the front lip of the metal housing. Anyway, the camera is one of this device strong point. The camera does a good job, sure it will not replace your DSLR, but it will still get it done. The autofocus works well and quick, maybe quicker than iPhone.
Going back to the battery, this is a weak spot of the smartphone. The phone losses a third of its battery in the night, considering it's without GPS, Wi-Fi or 4G. Even with Advanced Task Killer, it's difficult to get more than 1 day. It seems you will have to keep the smartphone plugged in all the time, otherwise you may find it dead when you need it the most.
