Today is the day! The HTC EVO One HTC EVO 4G LTE is official and while no one from our CrowdGather family attended the HTC/Sprint event, I've found some of the best hands-on videos and galleries for those interested in checking out the new phone from all angles.
To start, we have the best source of experience: hands-on videos. We have a very noisy run-through by MobileBurn above, though f you prefer a quieter walkthrough, CNET has a nice, unbiased video. Engadget, on the other hand, appears to have a video narrated by an HTC employee.
Join me below to check out some of the best pics that show off the EVO 4G LTE's beauty.
First up is a beautiful press shot of Sense 4.0 running on the HTC EVO 4G LTE from BGR. All aesthetics and extra features aside, this new EVO is going to be running brand new software, from the new lightweight and sexy Sense 4.0 to the latest version of Android 4.0.3.
Gizmodo has thrown together a decent gallery. In the image above, you can see the new back of the phone. The two-tone black doesn't look that bad to me.
Next up we have some photos from PCMag's EVO 4G LTE gallery. On top is a pic from the side showing off the aluminum trim. Does this remind anyone else of the newer iPhones? Below that photo is one that shows us what hides under the shiny polycarbonate top of the phone: the radios (including the integrated LTE radio) and the microSD card.
The choice to transition from aluminum (which the rest of the rear of the new EVO sports) to polycarbonate is to provide the best reception as possible. I think we can all thank HTC and Sprint for this move now . . . even though many of us still wish it looked a little better. Oh well.
The Verge's gallery gives us a pretty look at the EVO 4G LTE's kickstand. Of course it will work well in landscape when viewing movies, but the middle image shows us how it works just as well in the other orientation. The old EVO could do this orientation, but not well. The new kickstand is spring-loaded, so it does!
For those worried about being able to charge while using the kickstand, check it out in the bottom pic: you can use the kickstand in a third direction and take advantage of the MHL/microUSB charging port.
The photos also confirm the dedicated camera button, which allows you to go straight to the camera even when the screen is off. It also lets you half-press the button to focus the image on the EVO 4G LTE's bad-ass 8MP camera with ImageSense.
I think this summarizes many people's thoughts after all of the press surrounding the HTC EVO 4G LTE's unveiling. We have finally seen every corner of the new EVO and witnessed how buttery smooth the latest version of HTC's Sense and Android's Ice Cream Sandwich run together on this device.
Oh, and don't forget the incredible sound experience from Beats Audio. Sprint also introduced amazing sounding HD voice quality. With all of the incredible internal specifications this EVO will be touting, this really is Sprint's (and quite possibly America's) best smartphone yet.
On the flip side, the battery is not removeable and it's only 2000mAh (still better than AT&T's HTC One X but not as much as we hoped/expected). Luckily, the Snapdragon S4 processor should give us some sweet battery life – even with 4G LTE. I think most will agree that phone isn't quite as sexy as the original One X, but still think the fact that HTC and Sprint put features and functionality first is the more important.
And just in case you forgot, the HTC EVO 4G LTE is priced at $199.99 (with a 2-year contract) and $79.99/month with unlimited LTE. Who else is going to pre-order one on May 7th?
After seeing the picture of the back of EVO one, I think I will be better off holding onto my EVO 3D……The look is a huge bummer for me and the shiny part feels cheap. They should have just kept the look of one x. I can live without micro sd card.
I’ll probably upgrade when my contract is up in August/September
I’ve seen a couple say that it looks extremely better in person. Probably just camera shy.
I really hope so. I want a new evo with everything one x has and more. But not like this.
I’m going to get it but I won’t make the mistake of getting it pre ordered like the evo 3d which dropped in price within 2 months. I will be satisfied for several months with my 3d especially with the 4.0 upgrade keeping me satisfied.
Alright guys, check the pictures out. It doesn’t look so bad. But it doesn’t look as good as one x for sure. http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/4/2926168/htc-evo-4g-lte-sprint-press-photos#3221168
I’m sold. This is the perfect upgrade for my OG Evo.
Maybe it’s the designer in me, but I find the two tone blacks and variety of textures damn sexy!
I just wish that glossy piece on top matched the bottom half instead, that matte finish is so much nicer looking. It would be great if they’d sell a replacement piece for the top portion of the back of the phone that matched the bottom half.
the glossy part… just turn me off…
I’ll hold off until the galaxy s3 come out and decide…
I was thinking the exact same thing. If they sold something like that I’d be all over it…
IDK,,, i not sold. i don’t think that this phone is all that sexy. if you look at the evo 4g it is sexy from the all glass display from top to bottom, to removing the back and it being all red, with a cool looking protected red camera. this new phone the 4g LTE looks cheap. i don’t like that its front screen isn’t all glass from top to bottom, looks like the evo design 4g. i don’t like that there is four different color or materials on the phone, to piece together look for me. the red strip look weird. and why is the micro usb on the SIDE, Really!! remove the back and their is all kinds of stuff going on under their, metal piece sticking out or exposed, and its some what see thourgh,,, why not paint it red like the original. and final i know htc is releasing the htc link but it that only works with wifi, i love and would of like a micro hdmi port. all that i like about this phone is it’s software and the the detacated camera botton. i’ll be keep the 4g i guess till their is a better phone in my opinion.
I’m not a huge fan of the glossy part either, but it’s going to live in a Seidio case just like my EVO 4G so I don’t care.
To each his own, but those who are choosing to not buy the phone just because of the glossy part are being a little petty.
Has anyone heard if the bootloader will be locked down like the EVO 3D? Yes, I know it I can load ROMS after messing around with HTC DevUnlock, but upgrading firmware and radios is a real pain with S-ON.
Also, a 2000mAh battery is probably the real deal breaker for me. I always go through 2 batteries in a day on my 3D. The display and phone calls account for a majority of the usage, so that sweet S4 will probably not make a huge difference.
I agree I am not much on the two tone but I love the black and red. And the kick stand so glad to have it back. I too will be sporting a Seidio case so I don’t care about the back and am still getting the phone. I just wish my car and home dock would work since the charging port is on the side again but with the 4.7 inch screen it won’t work. I am preordering though cause my upgrade is due in June. I did this pre signing thing from BB where I get an extra 50 bucks off the regular price which will bring me down to 149 and I’ll get a 100 or more for my 3D. I have a ton of accessories too.
Man I am really bummed! My friend and I have both taken this off of our lists along with the Nexus. I’m a big fan of the EVO line but I’m not happy about this removable battery & missing microsd slot trend as of recent.
Why is the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX almost smaller and thinner than the HTC EVO 4G LTE?! The Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX has a 3300mah while the HTC EVO 4G only has mah?! WTF?! I would have been happier with a .2-1mm+ thicker and a 3000mah+ battery. I love everything about the HTC EVO 4G LTE except the battery life. Hell even goodandevo.net thought they were going to put in a much larger 2650mah battery, as did many others. A paltry 200mah over the EVO 3Ds’ 1800mah battery is downright pathetic because at least you could remove that battery!
I call moderate use WiFi on, 3G/4G OFF, FULL SIGNAL (Airvana in home & work), about 30 messages a day, email checks 10 times a day and maybe aprox 30-60 phone talk time per day. Sometimes I’ll play a game for at max a half hour a day. I leave GPS on and network GPS location. I have WiFi just about everywhere so 3G & 4G are off almost 100% of the time and I keep my phone on auto brightness. I recently overclocked my phone to 1.15ghz on-demand and 275mhz in idle.
I had a 3000mah Seideo battery for my HTC EVO 4G but it began to last as long as my normal battery so I changed it back to my original HTC EVO 1500mah battery now. My phone can go a couple days if I never use it and leave it in idle but going by the battery info it says on average I make 3-4 hours of the screen being on before the battery is dead (according to battery info on gingerbread). I never make it a full day and sometimes I need to charge by 3pm (or earlier)!
All those saying, “wait lets see how the battery and phone works before saying 2000mah isn’t enough!?” can kiss my butt. There are tons of HTC One X reviews which say the battery is decent on the quad core model but I can’t wait for the dual core tests. I have just wanted a phone like the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX which can go a few days without a charge. I miss the old days of only charging my Nokia 6265i once a week, lol. I’m just so tired of daily and sometimes twice daily charging!
Maybe, just maybe, HTC will try and release an HTC EVO 4G LTE LRG a few months after the phones released (like Motorola and the Droid RAZR MAXX upgrade) which could add a small amount of thickness for a larger battery and maybe even removable?! I wouldn’t bet on it though after HTC’s recent press report (speech) about multiple variations and slimming their lineup. Arg, but a man can dream!
Disappointed,

I really like the new look and bold EVO design. It makes a statement that I know I’ll be proud of. I’m not a big fan of generic looking phones. I also like a full metal design every where except over the antennas and radios. And if you personally don’t like the polished black cover just go ahead and buy a new cover to your liking. Obviously, there will be plenty to chose from.
I was watching the video, and I was like, Wow!, now that’s a sweet phone, SD card and all, But I was waiting to see about a removeable battery. I read the commentary, and saw there was none. That’s a deal breaker for me.
Now if all devices go that route, obviously I won’t have a choice, and will need to purchase a device without a removeable battery, But for now, I have a Choice, and I will be looking at the Samsung S3 when it is made available. Not sure what the Battery status will be on that one.
For now, my E4GT is doing just fine.
Oh, watch for a $100+ ‘charging’ case to be made available, as well as pricing for a Sprint Tech to swap out the battery when it’s capacity to hold a charge decreases over time and charge cycles.
My experience is that with average use and charging my phone nightly, my removeable battery’s capacity to hold a charge diminishes noticeably at about 7-8 months or so. This is an approximation. I do have 3 OEM batteries that I swap around which cost approx. $18 a piece.
See here for more info regaring lithium batteries and their capacity to hold a charge over time and charging cycles. While some don’t care one way or another regarding a removeable battery, to others it is a very important point:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
It looks like the camera issue with getting scratched and cracked is fixed by a metal ring covering the lens
One thing I haven’t seen talked about anywhere:
IS THERE A SPEAKER ON THE BACK OF THE PHONE?
I know the One X has a speaker, and every EVO so far has had one.
the bottom space is the speaker
I have two problems with this phone.
I don’t really care about the plastic back as I haven’t seen it person.
My first complaint is the increased screen size with the capacitive buttons also being there. Apps will no longer need those buttons and my Galaxy Tab 10.1 that I bought has sold me on the idea of software buttons. Its really just catching up to what some other company that I won’t name has been doing for years. Hardware and software have gotten good enough to make software buttons entirely possible. We no longer have to have a big phone to have a lot of screen. This is a huge turnoff now that phones like the galaxy nexus still feel small while having huge screens. Maybe this will change, once again, when I see it.
My second gripe on this phone is the name. Really? There are people that get paid more than me to give this phone a name like that? I realize its not really a big deal but I would think it will make it harder to sell. There is only one choice when you buy an iPhone. When this comes out there will be five evos. All of them different enough to confuse the hell out of an average customer. Once again not really a big deal but still a flaw in my opinion. It ruins the cool factor.
Don’t get me wrong I think this is a good phone with great hardware that will hopefully sell quite well for sprint. I just think if sprint really wanted to have a phone that could compete with the iPhone(maybe they don’t) this phone could have been it.
But hey what do I know? I’m just some random kid on the internet.
God I sure hope so. Its one of the only things I miss from old flip phones, a recessed camera.
You do know this phone does have a micro sd slot right?
The specs are very nice. The design is pretty nice, if you can get over the red band around the phone. But why not incorporate a removable battery on a phone whose other attributes have a lot going for it?
- does it cost less to produce?
- is this a way for Sprint/HTC to make more money down the road ala:
– a rechargeable case for purchase
– charges for a Sprint tech to replace and install another bsttrty
??
It’s not to keep the device slim, as you can have a removable /customer friendly battery in a slim profile.
But there is obviously a reason this was deliberately done with a definite purpose in mind.
Imo, it’s too bad they decided to go this route on an almost perfect device.
Own 4x evo 4g’s and 1 evo 3d.. and im not upgrading any of them to this.. no remov battery, and hardware buttons where a TRUE ICS phone no longer needs them.. I sure hope Samsung gives us what we want with the SIII.. i may have been able to live without one of the above, but both issues together… thats put me into the no buy category..
I dig that the top is PolyCarb to avoid interference but I just wish it looked better. Oh… well heres hoping theres a white version that looks a little less, needed a car door but couldnt quite match the paint.
What happened to the dedicated search button? I don’t see it anywhere!
Will someone get this kid a Happy Meal!?
That went away for Android system wide. I never used it myself. It’s just an annoyance on my EVO 4G. I hit it by accident some times when holding landscape.
I’ll only be sold when there is massive 3rd party rooting and ROM support like the OG EVO4G…which given how much root/ROM support the EVO4G-Design has developed, will probably be in 2-3 years.
I love the search button I use it all the time, why did they get rid of it. That has to be my biggest complaint is that there is no seqrch button on the new Evo.
I believe that the free market is a very opportunistic market, and when people realize that they can make money by selling alternate back covers, they probably will… Just my personal thought.
I found this comment on androidcentral. It appears to be a very important issue, one that many may not be aware of > >
“It may look nice, but Phonescoop is listing the LTE radio as only 1900mhz. Sadly this is the same as the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. So in 2013 when Sprint’s true LTE is rolled out on the 800mhz band both of these phones will not take advantage of it leaving them stuck on the 1900mhz band that will probably not be built out in too many places over the next eight months as 800mhz is what Sprint will be concentrating on as soon as they can move all of their 800mhz iDen people to CDMA. Sadly the 1900mhz band also has low penetration and speed compared to a lower frequency like 800mhz. Leave it to Sprint to screw over their early 4G adopters yet again.
Also the name EVO 4G LTE is twice redundant. First, Evo stands for evolution and LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. Second LTE is 4G so why say 4G LTE? So basically the phones full name is the “Evolution Long Term Evolution 4G 4G”. Pretty stupid.”
The 1900mhz topic is the important issue being discussed.
The name stuff is not important, at least not to me.
I forgot to delete that portion.
Wow, I know everyone is entitled to their opinions, and everyone has reasons for why they have formed them, but it is becoming more and more apparent that people just get on the internet to bitch and moan at this point. I doesn’t matter what phone comes out, no one will be 100% happy with it. The grass is never greener on the other side either. If you don’t like how the back looks, cover it up with a case like most people do anyway. If you want a removable battery, then get a model that still has one, but I guarantee you you will complain that you have to swap out the battery and they should have just made it with a bigger battery so you don’t have to swap it out.
The tech specs on this phone, in my opinion, are great. The functionality is what is important, and how can you not be happy with 16gb internal storage along with the ability to use up to 32gb sd card on top of that. The iphone doesn’t even have that much storage. The battery is bigger, and the dual core processor uses the battery power more conservatively, so even though it isn’t the rumored 2650mah, you should be able to get better life out of it.
If you don’t like the phone, don’t get it, but stop wasting your time and energy just complaining all the time. Life is to short to be pissed off about everything.
I can’t wait for the developers to get there hands on this so we can finaly get some full working ICS ROMS!!
I guess you don’t know what an MHL port is? It is a combination of micro usb and hdmi.
The one with the ritalin fries?
im going to get alot of heat for this but here we go….All of you crying about the outside are shallow lol dont you know its whats on the inside that counts and this new EVO has it and more including a better battery than that of one x, top of the line camera w/dedicated button!!! if you want the back to look diffrent then case it up or wait for a company to make a top cover replacement that matches the bottom (we all know that will happen given this is the main complaint) I am pre ordering this evo to replace my og the day i can and will be lined up at the store just like all those iphone luvers are lol….HTC/SPRINT I LOVE YOU YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN.
Wow, I basically agree with what you’re saying, but PLEASE do yourself a favor, and learn to use punctuation (they’re free to use). That was painful to read.
I will wait to see what the GS3 has to offer, hope it will come out in May or June.
If the GS3 is not significantly better, than whether I can find a good case covering this ugly phone (in my personal opinion) will determine whether I will get this or not.
I don’t get all the hate over the appearance. It looks better than the EVO 4G. Could it be sexier looking? Sure. Will the appearance make my phone calls better? No. Will it make my apps run better? No. Would most of you get a case, even if it was the sexiest thing on earth? Probably.
I also don’t get the removable battery bitching. I know there are people who need to swap batteries, because they use the phone heavily for work, but I’d bet that’s only 5% of the users, at most. I’d bet most of those bitching about removable batteries, actually never swap their batteries.
Besides, none of us know how efficient this new device may be. It’s not the size of the battery, but how the phone uses it. If 2000mAh gets you through 24hrs of heavy usage, then does the size matter? I’m not saying that it will, but everyone is bitching before knowing.
That being said, I won’t be pre-ordering this phone. I am interested, but because it’s such a new design, I want to wait and see what people say about it once it’s released (that’s when I’ll know if the battery is an issue). Also, there tend to be deals to get phones, and sprint offers nothing for pre-ordering, other than having the product guaranteed (maybe).
I won’t be pre ordering but I am definitely interested in the new evo. Like others said looks ugly case it up. I have cased all of my Evo’s, Sure the defender case is bulky and ugly but my 3d looks like I just pulled it out of the box and it’s been dropped dozens of times. I like the specs on the new Evo but will be waiting to see how it pans out. I will have to buy my upgrade anyway since I am still locked in from last years 3D purchase.
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar! No sarcasm implied or intended.
You can also Skin it… I use a Ghost Armor Carbon skin on my 3VO…
P.S. I believe I am going to switch from my 3VO to this. The resolution upgrade will be worth it. But I want to see it first before I say yes or no. I worry about the size, it is going to be just slightly larger then the 3VO is, and that is already big in my book…
Has anyone confirmed or denied the GSM capability of this phone? The article mentions an LTE SIM card but does not mention GSM capability. I’m surprised by how few people who comment this site care about international GSM capability. I UPGRADED my EVO 4G to the EVO Design $G specifically for this feature.
If I said LTE SIM, I meant to remove it. The LTE radio is integrated into the processor/motherboard.
Lol sorry about that my grammar is not at it’s best.
They just announced the announcement for the galaxy s 3…and it makes this thing look like a fat ugly wierd kid that lives next door to your cousins house…

“Below that photo is one that shows us what hides under the shiny polycarbonate top of the phone: the radios, LTE SIM card, and the microSD card.”
You probably should edit that post-haste because it will certainly lead to more confusion about this device.
I must have edited that at the same time Jenn was looking at it
Re-edited and good to go! Thanks for pointing that out to me!
Thanks for the clarification. I looked as hard as I could and could not find a SIM slot. I’m going to pass for this reason alone.
I’m only pissed off about the battery size. Sure, the new processor will be efficient and I’m happy to have it, but check your battery usage. I guarantee your display is at the top of the list…probably hovering around 80%. At least, that’s what typical usage looks like for me. I need a bigger battery to make the nonremovable status worthwhile.
I’m really excited about the new EVO, all but the battery but I’d be willing to overlook that if it can make it at least 12 hours or normal use.

I slowly accept the fact that this is just not as sexy as the One X. The specs and unlimited data sold me to stay with Sprint.
Now, I need to look for a really nice case to cover it up.
My concern is the non removable battery. I don’t need to switch battery for longer battery life thru the day, I can charge it at work. However, my Evo 4G’s battery went dead after one year, it drain soooo fast that I can only get an hour or two out of it. I eventually bought a new battery to replace it.
I’m not looking to upgrade every year, so I’m really concern whether the phone (battery) can function well for two years.
Im guessing the battery wont be impossible to replace. Sprint service centers will probably swap bad ones for 35 or something (I hope).
I am happy for my sprint family and EVO friends if you have the original granddaddy then YES it’s time for an update. If you have an EVO 3D you should consider an upgrade sprint will work it out for you they always do. Same goes for the EVO design 4g customers call up sprint and see what they will do for you from an upgrade standpoint. The EVO 4G LTE is the BEST EVO in the family plain and simple. Myself being a former evo 4g and evo 3d owner I am happily on verizon enjoying my GALAXY NEXUS the best stock android device on the market. I would love to return to sprint down the line but they will have too get that network of the ground with LTE here in New York city and prove how good it is compared to Verizon and At&t. Truthfully with the upcoming GALAXY S3 and GALAXY NOTE2/JOURNAL and upcoming NEXUS in December 2012 it’s hard to say if this EVO 4G LTE can stand up to the competition we will find out. Snapdragon s3 vs Snapdragon s4 what is really the real world difference between the two that is what someone needs to place up on a video so people can see what the difference really is in daily usage. I am pretty sure it won’t be much of a day to day usage difference plus I would love for someone to put up a comparison video SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 EPIC TOUCH 4G vs HTC EVO 4G LTE I bet that exynos processor on the epic touch is still faster than the snapdragon s4 in the evo 4g lte just a thought…Hail to Dan Hesse and HTC
Agreed! But that’s the only downside of the phone for me.
They’ll have to guarantee a free battery change (while I wait)for the two year life of the phone in order to get me really interested enough to buy one.
have you read any more information on this? I, myself, have not looked into this much, but if this is true, this would be a huge deal!
Here is the article regarding androidcentral I referenced.
I’ll see if I can find any other reference to this issue, which does appear to be of Importance.
http://www.androidcentral.com/late-night-poll-did-htc-evo-4g-lte-meet-your-expectations
Another article regarding the 1900MHz LTE Radio, and not 800mHz, which Sprint will have rolled out in 2013?
It appears that the Samsung Galaxy S3 may only have the 1900MHz Radio also. This is of course not good either.
If the above is true, no way would I buy a Device equipped with a 190MHz Radio, when, if in 2013 (next year,) Sprint is supposed to roll out the 800MHz LTE system out, making my ‘New’ device unuseable in the 800MHz frequency Range.
http://www.motoringcrunch.com/news/mobile-tech/10333-sprint-htc-evo-4g-lte-galaxy-nexus-lte-band
I want to verify this Radio issue elsewhere, regarding definitelvely, which Radios the above devices have.
Another link with the same question:
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=228316
Ok.
I found this:

Here:
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/HTC-EVO-4G-LTE_id7019
The motoringcrunch article was referencing an engadget article from March 15, which would be out of date.
So it soes appear that the HTC Evo 4G does have both the 800MHz and the 1900MHz Radios, which of course, is Great News!Unless I’m reading something wrong?
There is also this disclaimer in the phonearena link:
“The information for this phone is PRELIMINARY and could be incomplete or inaccurate. If you have any information about it, please send it to: phonearena@phonearena.com”
I hope the the Samsung Galaxy S3 also has both Radios.
So at this point in time, I am not sure of the Radios, But hopefully the phonearena article is correct.
I’ll see if there is any other information available, as these are conflicting reports regarding the FCC filings for the S3, different info on different forums,etc.
Unlike Apple forums, although I’ve never experienced them. Android, including Evo and Sprint forums which I consider this to be a combination of both, will have users which will have opinions, both positive , and negative, including criticisms of the device or service in question.
This is what makes for honest, unbiased discussion, instead of one sided, which really only ends up being a lovevest for the device or service in question.
The diversity of opinion is what makes G&E the forum that it is.
Hey Richard, long time, no hear from.
Now I know why lol!
Out of curiosity, whydya leave Sprint for the Galaxy Nexus, instead of getting the E4GT?
I wouldn’t trade my E4GT for Verizon and a GN if the GN was free
Not that the GN is a bad device, but the ICS capability didn’t mean much to me back then cause I knew ICS would be coming to the E4GT provided by the Developers soon enough. Been running ICS for over a month now, and things are good.
My buddy who was drooling over the GN when he first got it, mainly because of it being the first device with ICS, has changed his tune after experiencing some E4GT love, and has recommended the latter to 2 buddies.
I could see you switching if 4G wasn’t available to you.
Wasn’t to me either till about 3 months ago, but better late than never.
In the original photos of the HTC/ONE there are a series of small holes on the side/bottom for docking. Will this be included in the Sprint HTC/EVO LTE?
It has been confirmed that HTC and Sprint removed this feature. I know, sucks. Thanks for bringing that up!
Bummer! If HTC/Sprint removed it…. they suck. I love my EVO but I really thought this was a feature worth waiting for. The evolution of the EVO is a given it is a good phone. I don’t get it I listen to these little girls whinning about battery life, colors and the phone is not sexy? Huh? Most sound like Apple Ringers”. Girls please whine about sumin that matters!
The lack of a removable battery matters for the above aforementioned reasons given.
