So, it's May, 2011, almost a full year since the HTC EVO 4G hit the market. The device is considered a dinosaur in smartphone years today. How then, is the EVO still able to do so well? How is it able to keep pace with the newest and greatest devices in the world? We're here to tell you why...
The EVO was designed as a 'long term device' for the tech junkie in all of us. Sure a dual-core processor will go faster, but the Snapdragon in this beast still performs better than 85% of the Android powered devices out there. HTC did a great job keeping Sense in the front, and all you rooters know you miss some of those cool widgets, but they didn't overpower the device with 3D effects or overly animated splash screens. HTC kept their software plain and simple - which saves those resources for things that need them, like Super Dynamite Fishing.
The internal storage was bound to be a serious problem on the EVO when you compared it to the 8GB monsters coming out now, but then along came Android 2.2 with the ability to install apps to your SD card... Problem solved...
The display is still one of the best out there, the camera is downright amazing - check out our editing options using the EVO camera and tell me they aren't sharp - and except for the battery life being so-so, there's not much to complain about with the phone.
The lack of being able to complain about the device is why it's still flying off the shelves at the Sprint stores. When I am in visiting, I always see people trying the Epic, then the Shift and coming right back to the EVO. It's a stand-out, amazingly crafted device that will have a very long shelf life, probably even after the EVO 3D hits. It's aimed at a different crowd and the device will still hold it's own against the stiff competition that's around the corner.
