One question, without being able to remove the battery how would you go about "rebooting" the phone in case of a freeze? I do battery pulls more often than I want to admit on my original EVO 4g. It makes me nervous not being able to pull the battery.

Click your heels together. Seriously. Don't worry about this.

[NicksGarage]

Does it have Swype and Telenav on it?

[Phil Nickinson]

Does it have a cool panorama mode for the camera? Not sure it's needed but something to play around with.

Yes. It's the same Sense 4 camera as the others.

[Phil Nickinson]

Can the kick-stand support the phone while charging?

[BigDinCA]

Any idea what type of solder they used for the contacts on the S4 chipset?





Seriously, though: is there actually a small glass lens cover on that back piece to protect the camera lens and be replaced, if needed?

[Bigfire]

no quad core and no current lte coverage? So we Evo3D owners should get this because they upgraded the camera features? And why the cheap earbuds when the Rezound came with such quality?

[Phil Nickinson]

Do you think that this the phone is the android phone of 2012 or is samsung and google planning for something even more interesting ?

I think you can't answer that until the year's over.

[Phil Nickinson]

Any idea why they are being vague about the release date? The phone is ready/finalized...they gave a date for pre orders...why not commit to an actual release date?

lol. Cause that's how it's done. I'd love for them to actually give release dates when announcing devices. You have no idea how much I want that.

[shingi_70]

Kind of assumed the vauge date was because the alter has to be ready.

Was the phone beats audio branded?

[Phil Nickinson]

I keep reading that the screen looks freaking awesome. Do you agree?

Other than the camera:

• The krait processor has shown to be a good improvement (benchmarks equal to or above the quad core)
• Larger battery
• Larger internal memory
• Sense 4.0 vs the sense 3.6 that the 3D is expecting
• Kickstand
• Major improvement on the screen

I could keep the list going if you'd like...

LTE is coming. Heck even if i wasnt going to get LTE(full sprint network will be LTE by end of 2013). I would get thisphone

[Mikeadonis]

Does the top of the back part feel plasticy. And what material is it?

Its all aluminum. It just has different finishes in each side of the kickstand. On the side the metal is unfinished and shiny silver.

top half is plastic.
NFC dont work thru metal

- have you ever noticed Sense launcher reloading when you hit home and have lots of processes? This is a common issue with Sense on many phones

- does the software differ in any way from One X?

- does HTC/Sprint have any plans for official unlocked bootloader.

- does the camera lesn protrude less/more/same as One X?

- is the notification light in the same place on the speaker grill?

- please do a battery test with screen on 100% and playing a movie to see how many hours it can last

Looking forward to your review, thanks.

But can it still stay like that while plugged in??

[JkdJedi]

Could there possible be anything better than the EVO LTE in the near future?

[tommydaniel]

Top half is polycarbonate, which I know is plastic, but it is more than just normal plastic.

It's mobile phones... Every month to a couple months something new and better is coming out

[darklands_]

is the screen better or about the same as the design 4g because i thought that screen was beautiful?

[awill70]

I love my EVO 4G, but had to get the 3500mAh extended battery due to heavy Web & social media app usage. (Hence more display usage) So far, have you observed significant battery management on the LTE? This is a dealbreaker for me because of not being able to remove the battery. Thanks!

How is the rear speaker quality?

[S_C_B]

I'm one of the ones who wrote that.

Oh, Phil.

[Mikeadonis]

Its actually spring loaded and can hold the phone up on either side of the kickstand.
