[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tgrgrd00:
The video states that the kickstand is spring loaded so that the phone can be tilted to either side. So you can put the charging port on the top or bottom when the kickstand is out. That is what it looked like to me and he showed how the phone can sit on either side with the kickstand.

I am excited about this phone. Can't wait!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
I had the same thought, I was stumped on how the engineers came to the conclusion that when using the kick stand I need access to the camera button, but not the charging port.

Then I watched the video and it claims the kick stand works on either side of the phone. Still a major design flaw and turns me off a little bit, When I am using the kick stand I want to charge my phone, when I am using the kick stand there is also a good chance I am watching something with sound and would need to control volume, I have to choose which make it much less useable imo.

We shall see if lte shows up in my area then i could live with poor design how often do i adjust the volume while watching tv, Hopefully as little as I think.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Incitatus4:
Yeah it does look a bit ugly, and I wish they could just invert the direction of the kickstand. I saw the pictures of it being used so that the phone can charge... but it seems so foolish...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] htc-ppc:
The top complaint seems to be how it looks. For me that's a plus so I won't feel bad when it immediately goes into a case. Just glad they kept the SD card slot and brought back the kickstand. Top that off with a battery boost, but since I always have my portable charger with me it may not affect me as much personally. I like the dedicated camera button, too.

This is not a One X. This is something better. It's an EVO!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bobarune:
That's a good point. Very bad engineering. If the phone can be used on both sides with the kickstand, I'd imagine the spring is strong and might be hard to take out.

I honestly like the design of it.

I wonder what the battery size is and if it can be removed? Hopefully with the three piece back design it will be removable.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] buzzwyzr:
Nice job bro!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .Elite_The_King.:
The top portion, which includes the rear 8-megapixel camera, is protected by a removable polycarbonate plastic back. Slip that off and you can have a look at a number of antennae, including NFC (compatible with the pre-loaded Google Wallet, among others). There, you'll also find the microSD slot, which lets you expand the phone's built-in 16GB of storage to 32GB also comes with a 2000mAh battery.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] htc-ppc:
2,000 mAh and not removable without taking the phone apart.

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

Actually, if the phone already has 16 GB of storage and supports a 32 GB SD card, wouldn't that expand it's storage to 48 GB?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alaman68:
Wonder how to cure the boot loops without a battery yank?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Notorious:
Every phone has a button combination that forces the phone into hboot or turn off (can't recall which) if it bootloops
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] htc-ppc:
Hmm, haven't had to do one in a while so didn't think about it. Perhaps the return of a reset button? Or maybe you just have to wait until the battery dies. How do the other phones with non-removable batteries handle it?

EDIT: Ah, see it's already been answered. Thanks evo4gnoob! You don't seem like a noob to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adio01:
Wow... I was hoping this phone would be the upgrade to my EVO 4g but the backside of it is so ugly! Might have to wait out for the SGSIII :O
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .Elite_The_King.:
Like evo4noob said or adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] soonerfreak:
Gonna be pre-ordering this on May 7th. Kickstand + SD card = my next phone unless the SGS3 is just amazing. But as I really like sense I don't see this happening.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bobarune:
I wonder how long it is going to take until S-off?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Angel Slayer:
The top plastic part is removable for the SD card slot, so I'm sure someone-somewhere will be selling a matte version of the part.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lfrp:
nothing about a sim card for international use right? i didnt find info on that. anyway i like this phone, but my dream phone right now is galaxy note or journal with sprint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I'm guessing this report of removable battery must be false?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
yep. its basically set in stone. no removeable battery.

and just to clarify, the top (ugly :\ )half part will house the sd card and the lte sim card
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Angel Slayer:
I love this phone, I only wish it was on a different carrier with the same specs (preferably Verizon). The only thing I would do is replace the back back cover with a new matte cover, which I might do if the Galaxy S III doesn't live up to the hype.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EVOlvedAndroid:
The more I look at the picture. I really, really, really, slightly like the design just a percent of a percent more. So I Hope If I look at this for 2 months straight, It gives me the confidence to buy this without regret. I just hate how the put the weird shiny plastic on top, they should have just left the whole thin poly carbonate. I still will get it, just for the processor S4 Processor and the 2,000 mah Battery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cybervyrus8587:
I think it looks badass... anyway, does anyone know if these newer fones r coming with a screen mirror of some kind? Does it have an HDMI port or is it even capable? I love that non native feature on my evo and I would really miss it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cmonsterf50:
It's using hdmi over usb. So it will need an mhl adapter like Samsung phones, I've seen.

I'm not sure what you mean by screen mirror ... It will mirror the phone image via media link, an expensive adapter. Other than that don't know
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smc333:
I'll be getting a matte finish top half back cover when they come out and they better!! I'm stoked about this phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cmonsterf50:
Agreed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Minjin:
Anyone figure out yet if the camera button is dual or single stage? Nobody seems to be mentioning it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
if by that you mean you can hold it half way down to focus and all the way down to take the pic then yes, it was mentioned in one of the hands-on videos on youtube (i watched them all :cool:) they want it to feel like your holding a "premium picture-taking device" i think theyve done it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilentSummer:
Not bad. I would love to see some real world battery stats to see how it holds up. The back doesn't look the best, but ultimately doesn't matter that much.

Likely will be going with this unless something just as good or better gets announced.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AngelofChaos:
well the One X was rooted before it was even released to retail, so I'm sure it won't take long considering the new evo is based off the one x.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Wow, good call man. :)

---------- Post added at 07:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 AM ----------

Wait, everybody assumes that's a camera button, but then during the release conference yesterday they were talking about how video and photo modes are integrated ("the buttons are right next to each other"), so are they hardware buttons or are they on the screen?

And do you mean "dual stage" as in "focus, then shoot"? Because they did talk about how the auto-focus is so next-gen and high-performing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] deepnoizer:
My birthday is on may 7, can you ask for a better sigh?

So glad they added extended storage and I think the battery will be just fine, EVO battery was not enough at first but with all the development that went into kernels its not an issue anymore.

I still would love to know if when there is no LTE in area will this be able to go to Wimax or possibly roam on verizons network? 3G would be a disaster for phone like this.

I did not see NY even mentioned on their deployment list but I do have Sprint tower on top of building I live in that had 4G long time before they officially flipped the switch for area.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
It's definately a camera button. They're making a big deal about how quick it is to take a pic, and how great the camera is. The point is that if the phone is in your pocket and that kodak moment comes along, you don't need to worry about turning the screen on or unlocking it or anything, just hit the button to enter camera mode and take your pic. There's also a button on the screen though which you can use as well. And the button is two stage - you can use that to turn the screen on without actually taking the picture if the screen was off first, and presumably you can also use it if you decide to turn off the auto-focus for whatever reason. Another cool feature about that button is if you use it to enter camera mode while the phone was locked, then the only thing you can use it for is the camera - the rest of the phone will remain locked.

Have to say, I wasn't a fan of the leaked pics, but once the press shots came out, and they detailed the specs (including the fact that the kickstand can be used for landscape mode, landscape mode in the other direction, and portriat), I'm sold. I'm even getting a high end "tuxedo" vibe from the back at this point - what with the two-tone black, and the red kickstand stripe. With the metal casing and gorilla glass, this may be the first phone I don't even get a cover for.

The only dark horse here is the GS3, but as it stands now, I'll be getting this as my next phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sleestax:
About five months back, I dropped my phone on a concrete sidewalk and cracked the front glass. Sprint wanted $100 to replace the phone through that crap vendor they use that sends you back a refurbished phone, I spent $11 on amazon and replaced the front glass myself in about 15 minutes. Without the ability to open the case, any glass issues are going to *require* a replacement with that stupid vendor and the associated fee.

Is the SGS3 also a sealed case/battery?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
Definately no wimax here. Not only does it not have the radio for it, but Sprint has gone on record saying will not be releasing any new phones with wimax capability going forward. I don't think it will be able to roam on Verizons (or even att''s) LTE due to the different frequencies.

Keep your eye on this link for sprint's lte rollout information.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmegalodon:
The initial "shock" has worn off, so I can't say with absolute certainty that I won't be considering this. Thankfully we have some time before it drops, time to catch wind of other early LTE offerings.

I just want a solid device to drop across all carriers ... the same phone. At the same got damn time. I think that's where part of my initial "disgust" came from. I know that carriers want to have a unique offering, whether it come from a drastically different change of design (Epic 4G?) or something more minor. I get that. But I just don't like it. And I know I don't have to like it. But. Still. ****.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cas8180:
This device is extremely dissapointing. Also read that there is no MicroSD expansion slot as well. So they are going to make a bigger bulkier device and then chop the microSD that just sucks. I am sure most of the software/sense enhancements well get pulled from this once it comes out and ported to Evo 3d Mods. Probably just best to wait till then. I cant wait till these things get so big it will be like trying to carry a disc man around in your pocket. Then who knows maybe we will also bring back the fanny pack with a spin off name just to hold our smart phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Legendary20:
There is a micro sd behind the glossy plastic
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zjchaser:
that part is polycarb.....shouldn't be tough at all just just give it a light sand blasting to make it matte.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Minjin:
Bigger bulkier? The phone is larger horizontally and vertically because it has 0.4" more screen. It does that while managing to be 29% thinner. The phone also weighs 134g compared to the 170g of the original Evo. That's 21% lighter while improving pretty much every aspect of the phone. I don't know how someone could possibly complain about it.

You're either reading the wrong stuff or you have serious reading comprehension deficits.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
From what I read it uses wireless hdmi, which looks awesome, to buy an adapter (boo) but no diff then buying a cable but u am sure the adapter has better profit

But apparently you can fire up a movie, once u got it streaming to the tv hit the home screen and use ur phone while to movie plausibly on the background

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Pretty excited about this, the more I look at it. I'm REALLY glad they didn't go with polycarbonite all over,...like the Evo 3d, I hate the Evo 3d material (if that is polycarbonite, I don't like it)

Also, Every pic I've seen so far seems to show they finally did something to help protect the camera lens a bit better. Looks like the aluminum around lens wraps over the lens to cover all but about 4mm for the recessed lens. FINALLY! Can't wait!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cmonsterf50:
Yeah the adapter is about 100 bucks. From what I've read it still supports hdmi over usb. Which means you'll need an mhl adapter. Much cheaper. But still, my OG micro hdmi cable is now useless
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cas8180:
Quickly comparing this to whats already AT market such as the Epic Touch or even the Evo 3D and this device really isnt that impressive. However if you do a side by side with the OG Evo then yes it is a night a day difference and quite the upgrade.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Minjin:
That's the problem. You haven't a clue as to what you are talking about.

The Krait processor blows everything on the market away. On-chip LTE support means that finally 4g won't suck down your battery. Camera sensor is awesome with dedicated image processing chip. Camera software has many first in industies: ability to take pictures while recording a video, the ability to record shots at a 4 frame per second rate as long as you are pressing the camera button, and LED flash will fire at 5 different intensities depending on light metering. The screen is the same screen as the Evo X which is being hailed in reviews as the best looking mobile screen bar none. Has 16gb of storage AND microsd slot for further expansion. One of the first phones outside of the Nexus line that has NFC. And Beats audio integration which while not helpful for its increase in bass is helpful for its better audio processors. The first Sprint phone to use new HD audio processor codecs for better call quality (in fact, the first American phone to do so). It does all of that while somehow managing to be thinner and lighter than every comparable sized phone.

Evo 3D and Epic Touch don't hold a candle to this phone. Go read some some One X reviews. This is a One X with improvements.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cas8180:
I have read many hence the basis for my opinion.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
In every way it's an upgrade to the OG Evo AND what's AT market. Namely the s4 processor alone is a huge upgrade. And everything stated in previous post.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mr.BungIe:
I will own this phone

Oh yes, have no doubt.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattehww:
Upgrading without a doubt. Bigger nicer screen and LTE. Only issue is the non-removable battery. I don't know if I could go without my extended battery =\ But it's also supposed to have a 2000mah battery, so hopefully that with the processor will give it decent life.

hdmi through usb is all the rage with newer phones nowadays. head over to monoprice and search for MHL adapter. it has a male usb end that goes into your phone through the usb slot you use to charge or hook up to your comp. the other end of the adapter has a regular sized female hdmi port and on the side is another female usb port.

the idea behind MHL is that you can hook up your phone via the adapter and hdmi cable and the TV will charge your phone while its hooked up. the problem is TVs are just starting to roll out with MHL capabilities (thats what the female usb port on the side of the adapter is for - so you can charge your phone while hdmi mirroring)

How do you guys feel about Sprint's network? I love my EVO and am really liking this new phone too. I like that they kept the EVO brand and characteristics (like the kickstand). But I'm concerned that my area won't get LTE until late 2013 and I'll be stuck with Sprint's slow 3G for over half my contract. I also keep thinking about how Motorola managed to fit a 3300mAh battery into the Razr Maxx and wondering if Samsung will fit something bigger into the SGSIII. What to do what to do...

I just hope we get S-OFF on this phone soon after release (or before, as with the Evo). This blows every phone on the market away (it esp makes the Nexus look weak) and is good enough that I won't feel any regrets buying it or thinking about what the GSIII may bring.

With so many complaining about the phone, that just moves me closer to getting the phone with the pre-order. This phone will still sell despite the nay-sayers. Getting mine early to avoid the rush.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cool Cake:
It's great news for me since I can't upgrade for another 10 months. That way I can see if Sprint will improve service in my area (San Diego). 10 months should be enough time to beef up thier existing 3G and also have a 4G presence.

Then for sure I'll be getting that bad boy.

If not bye bye sprint.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] guisar:
I did notice the phone is only going to have a 1900Mhz radio whereas the maps I've seen show most of the Sprint roll-out of LTE to (eventually) be on 800Mhz. Anyone seen contradiction or confirmation of this? May not be a big deal perse as this phone would likely be out of date before either band has widespread coverage, just wondering.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] soonerfreak:
I can't post a link but a article on phonescoop said 8000/1900mhz CDMA but just 1900 for LTE. I think the roll out to the 800mhz band though shouldn't happen for awhile.

Well I got a text from sprint yesterday that said Sprint TV can now be watched over wifi, so that plus kickstand= I am for sure getting this. The SGS3 would have to come for with a kickstand for me to even consider it at this point. I know cases can come with kickstands but I prefer the soft silicone cases.
