iPhone Killer?

By on April 2, 2010

A lot of phones have come out that were supposedly going to kill the iPhone that did nothing.  This new phone from HTC, however, is going to give the iPhone a run for the money.  Check out this video.  (Crank the speakers cause this one’s got some mad beats!)

Dang.  That’s on pretty cool phone.

The under-the-hood specs are VERY impressive too…

First and foremost, the thing is a beast. A 4.3-inch LED touchscreen — same as the HD2 — and the same 1GHz Snapdragon processor. A gigabyte of ROM and 512 of RAM round out what’s under the hood.

Like taking pictures? There’s an 8-megapixel camera and dual flashes — for sheer candle power — to take care of that. Wanna record moving pictures in 720p? No sweat. Plus, there’s a basic 1.3MP camera on the front of the phone — pretty much a first for a U.S. carrier-sanctioned device. Now you just have to have apps that support it.

Of course, if you record in HD, you might as well have HD playback, right? And for that, there’s a mini-HDMI port, so you can go straight from the Evo 4G to an HD television. There’s a cute little kickstand, too, which makes the Evo 4G great for watching movies.

One thing is for sure.  The smartphone market is as competitive as ever.  Apple better have something pretty great to roll out this Summer.

The HTC EVO 4G will be available from Sprint this Summer.

What do you think of this phone?
