If you like to keep up with what is going on with the latest in cellphones, you are probably aware of the latest one that is getting lots of press coverage. It's the HTC Evo 4G, the smartphone that is about to take a giant leap above the mobile communication competition by being a full fledged commercial 4G smartphone. So what is so great about it? Evo 4G has a display screen that is much larger than that of the iPhone, Galaxy or a Nexus One. Its 4.8 inch screen is much more touch sensitive and offers lots of room for very precise finger tapping. Also, because it is an LCD screen, the image is bright in daylight without having to worry much about glare ruining the image.
Evo operates on the Google's Android 2.1 OS platform that has been specifically configured for the HTC. The superior 4G connection will allow one to take advantage of superior quality video conferencing which the phone will offer through Qik app and will cost around $ 5 a month. However, the basic video conferencing app does not cost anything and will supply only VGA quality. All that is great, but let's discuss the camera.
The camera in Evo 4G is a brilliant 8 megapixel masterpiece. There is one camera in the front of the phone, it is 1.3 megapixel and designed to be used for video calls. The camera in the back is capable of taking exceptional good photographs and it's great feature is the ability to make many adjustments to various parameters, such as brightness, contrast, special filters etc before taking the shot. This results in hundreds of ways to take a picture, an important and major plus for those that like to take lots of pictures. The phone is also capable of recording 720p high quality video at 25 fps which, although not the finest quality, is still pretty good. Overall, it is easy to see why the Evo 4G is the ultimate state-of-the-art smartphone.
