14 DAY TRIAL // On Tuesday, at the CTIA Wireless expo in Orlando, Florida, mobile phone carrier Sprint announced the availability of two new 4G-capable devices, namely the HTC EVO 3D and HTC EVO View 4G, both expected to become available for purchase for the operator's customers this summer.
Just as its name suggests, the new HTC EVO 3D come with a brand new mobile multimedia experience, being capable to offer users the possibility to capture and view in 3D and share at 4G speeds, while providing them with a glasses-free 3D experience.
Moreover, the company went official with the HTC EVO View 4G, the first tablet in its award-winning EVO family of devices.
The new HTC EVO 3D comes with a powerful 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor packed beneath a 4.3-inch display, while sporting dual 5 megapixel cameras on the back. The mobile phone is powered by Google's Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
“Sprint is taking wireless innovation to the next level once again as we bring our customers the ability to experience 3D on their phone without glasses,” said Steve Elfman, president - Network Operations, Product and Wholesale, Sprint.
“HTC EVO 3D makes it easy to take pictures or movies in 3D when you are on vacation, and then feel like you are there again when you view it months later. This device takes full advantage of Sprint’s powerful 4G network and offers the innovation one would expect as the next benchmark device in the prestigious EVO product line.”
Other specs of this device include a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera for video chat, 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot capability, 4GB Internal memory/1GB RAM, microSD memory card slot, Wi-Fi – 802.11 b/g/n, Integrated GPS, or 1730 mAh Lithium-ion battery.
“HTC EVO 3D will be the first 3D handset pre-loaded with the Blockbuster On Demand mobile application that has access to one of the largest catalogs of movies, including 3D titles. This movie store in your pocket offers video optimized for viewing on HTC EVO 3D’s 4.3-inch screen,” Sprint announced.
HTC’s first 3G/4G Android tablet, the HTC EVO View 4G, should offer a great experience on the carrier's network. The new device includes a 7-inch 1024 x 600 touchscreen display, a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor inside, along with the latest version of HTC Sense.
The tablet also offers 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot capability, 32GB internal memory, 1GB RAM, microSD slot (supports up to 32GB memory card), Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, Integrated GPS, 4000 mAh Lithium-ion battery, as well as support for applications available from the Android Market.
“With dual cameras – a main 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with HD-capable video camcorder and a forward-facing 1.3 megapixel camera – HTC EVO View 4G unleashes the ability to create, stream over the lightning-fast 4G network, share via YouTube or Facebook and watch video with the Qik mobile app,” the wireless carrier announced.
Another interesting features of the new device would be the HTC Scribe Technology, through which users would find a new way to interact with a tablet. It comes with a unique digital pen, which should unlock new capabilities on tablet PCs.
As stated above, both devices should hit shelves sometime in summer. Those who would like to learn more on their arrival can head to Sprint's website to register for updates, here for the HTC EVO 3D, and here for EVO View 4G.
