From the specs the HTC EVO 4G is the best of its time but now it has got too many competitors and with the outdated OS it is not worth the price. With this budget one will obviously want the latest version of Android with the latest features HTC is offering with this device. But in comparison to the competitors like iPhone or other Android smartphones it’s the best you can get from a device with this price. The kickstand is also a good option to view videos and slideshows with the 4.3-inch massive but mobile display. On the other hand it might be an irritating part of the mobile to some as the kickstand also seems like a flaw to the design and it’s the most fragile part of the handset. The pinch to zoom and tactile feedback works just fine on the huge 4.3-inch screen. You will have to buy another plan to enjoy the feature of Wi-Fi router which is also very costly. So the one time price of this device may seem low but ultimately HTC takes a very higher price with the number of plans. But they justify the plans with the insane 10Mbps download speed and 1Mbps upload speed. Another option they are uniquely offering is the choice of OS variation unlike any of their competitors. You can choose from both the untouched stock version for the HTC EVO 4G of Android OS and customized version with HTC Sense UI which is a very attractive feature for any Google fan.
