The Verdict : 4.63/10
The HTC Evo is clearly not the best Android phone available, but it works well as a decent first smartphone.
Review :
The HTC Evo is definitely the bargain smartphone in our lineup of Android phones. It isn’t nearly as powerful or feature-rich as most of its competitors. However, after examining the pros and cons, it constitutes a good option for budget-conscious consumers who want the basic benefits of a smartphone without the hefty price tag.
Most aspects of the HTC Evo prove mediocre, including its display and specifications. The screen has a resolution of 800 x 480, which is sufficient but hardly eye-popping. If you placed them side by side, you would definitely notice a difference in quality between this Android smartphone and our top-ranked models.
In terms of computing power, the Evo is equipped with only 512MB of RAM (1GB is standard) and a 1GHz processor. This translates to a slower-running system than most competitors, and it might experience an occasional hiccup. However, for consumers just entering the smartphone market, these specifications likely won't make a large difference.
Also disappointing, but unsurprising, is this Android phone’s low battery power. The 1520mAh lithium-ion battery is weak, and squeezing even six hours out of it proves to be a challenge. Fortunately, the battery is removable and you can insert a new one if needed.
There is plenty that falls short on the HTC Evo, but if you’re looking for nothing more than a few smartphone basics, this phone more than delivers. It’s equipped with GPS and a 3.5mm headphone jack for private listening. The HTC Evo has a micro-USB port so you can hook it up to your computer to transfer data back and forth. The phone also has a microSD card slot so you can expand its total storage capacity up to 32GB (an 8GB card is included). Lastly, the phone provides Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
The HTC Evo comes with Android 2.3, but the HTC Sense 3.0 skin covers nearly every surface of the phone’s user-interface. It’s not the latest version of the skin, and it creates more clutter than seems necessary on the home screen. The phone is scheduled to receive Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest version of Android, sometime later in the year.
