Sprint Nextel is hoping to turn heads next month with the EVO 4G LTE, an HTC Corp phone with an advanced camera, a big screen and a high-speed wireless connection to highlight its multi-billion-dollar network upgrade.
Sprint is hoping that its popular EVO brand and some design changes will help make its phone a hit. In roughly two years Sprint has sold 7 million devices with the EVO brand, according to Fared Adib, Sprint's vice president for product development.
The device, which customers will be able to pre-order for $199.99 starting on May 7, comes which a 4.7 inch display. It also comes with an 8 megapixel camera with features that are more often found in high-end, stand-alone cameras than smartphones.
For example, the phone's camera can take multiple shots when the user just presses a button once - a feature known as continuous shooting. It can also capture still shots even when the camera is in video mode.
The phone will support a new high-speed service Sprint is building into its network with a technology known as Long Term Evolution.
