Sprint released a couple of videos that show the HTC EVO 4G at work. YouTube HQ is demonstrated and the quality of the picture is fantastic over the phone's 4.3 inch capacitive display. Another app that was displayed was Google Googles, which comes pre-loaded on the handset as part of Android 2.1. The visual search engine uses the EVO 4G's 8MP camera and scans an image to come back with search results. In the demonstration, Sprint's 4G network flexes its muscles a bit and you can see how quickly the information came back to the user. Speaking about speed, the carrier shows off web browsing on the phone, including the Pinch-To-Zoom function, and Flash support. The pages render exactly as they do on your desktop computer. Other featured apps include the Layar Augmented Reality browser. Take a look at the videos and we are sure that you will start to have those strange feelings that you had the first time you saw the iPhone or the HTC HD2 in action. Your mind will turn to mush and drool will come from the corner of your mouth. Every waking moment will be consumed with getting your own unit. Or maybe not. Either way, you have to admit that the EVO 4G is an amazing specimen.
What's funny is on any google device currently you can put it in HQ mode. The only thing that changes is it identifies it automatically. Take any Android phone on youtube. Hit your menu key, Hit more. Hit HQ. It will look the same. What's funny is it actually looks best on Nexus 1 and Close second on Moto Droid, cause it has the same resolution as the EVO, but it's on a smaller screens.
I have the original samsung instinct and i can play youtube hq videos, of course screen is small and video is smaller but usually not many hiccups or artifacting.
Well based on the phone you can get better quality of the HD exp a 1080p tv vs a 760 p tv. But i did enjoy the fact that sprint played a crapy dragon ball Z cartoon with horrible picture in the first place up against a beautiful pictured film of spider man.
i think with sprint's recent no risk trial period i am going to carry the phone around for a couple weeks just to play with it. i'm not out of contract and dont want to leave tmo, but i still want to see what its like since i live in sprint's 4g coverage
wow the slander is incredible droid can't play HQ youtube?? what a fucking skewed comparison. HQ youtube is HQ youtube no matter what device it's on. and they say they came up with it wow.
well on the iphone 3G s u cannot watch HQ videos on youtube on 3G its horrible at&t network cant do it i tried it its looks like shit .now on the droid it looks a lil better but not that much ...
By 4G I meant 4G speeds and not the iPhone 4G. I wish more people replied also instead of just voting. I guess they couldn't find anything to say. But it's true. There's nothing really special about the EVO 4G except for the 4G part. And the camera I guess
The battery life better be good, I had the Hero and Moment and returned both of them because of the crappy battery life. I like android, but if I cannot get decent battery life then there is no use to having an android phone. Another major defect that It hink the evo 4g will remedy is the lag that the hero has. When I was texting with the hero it would lag so many times, and mess up my texting.
Hope the 4g is the beast it seems to be.
especially if it has a decent-sized touch screen... i mean, they can only make the battery so big. plug your phone in throughout the day.
Really cool invention: car charger
ive had several different touchscreens, and i have plenty of friends with touchscreen phones, you have to be smart enough to manage your battery life, end of story.
Well you have a right to your opinion e.n. but let me tell you something this is the first 4g handset that alone makes it a game changer it takes social networking to the next level the ability to connect 8 other devices to high speed network that's game changing and it runs on the most advanced OS out there and it's made by HTC the best cellphone manufacturer in the world who has taken cellphones to the next level also .I know because I've owned Nokias,palms,Motorolas,and apples.It is game changing period.
