LAS VEGAS - After weeks of leaked promo materials and shade shots, Sprint has introduced the EVO Shift, HTC's ultimate carrier-exclusive 4G smartphone.
The phone is scheduled to be at large existing to consumers on the final day of CES, January 9th.
As Sprint's press let go states , the EVO Shift follows in the rapid 4G footsteps of its mammoth-sized EVO predecessor, but comes in a smaller, tighter package. Highlights add a 3.6 in. capacitive-touch shade display, a slip out QWERTY keyboard, 5-megapixel back-facing camera, 720p HD camcorder and microSD container for upgradable storage up to 32GB.The phone can moreover offer as a mobile hotspot, tethering up to 8 wireless devices.
For the throng that wants more power and more features from their phone, however, the EVO Shift might be lacking. The phone ships with Android 2.2. (Froyo, not the many new version, Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread). It lacks a front confronting camera, that means no video chatting either. The 5-megapixel back confronting cameras is downgraded from the EVO's 8 megapixels. The EVO has a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, whilst the Shift clocks in at 800 Mhz. The that wish incomparable screens similar to the one-time EVO (4.3 inches) might not be contented with the EVO Shift's 3.6 inches.
Comparing the EVO Shift to the older, bigger EVO, the subject comes down to this: Are you peaceful to scapegoat shade size, processor speed and other niceties for a slip out set of keys and simpler pocketability?
The EVO Shift retails at $150 after a $100 mail-in remission (with a two-year service contract).
