The Evo 4G LTE Android phone for Sprint finally cleared customs and became available in stores over the weekend. The HTC phone was meant to begin sales in the U.S. on May 18, but was stopped at customs due to patent disputes with Apple.
“The Evo 4G LTE is the successor to the incredibly popular Evo 4G, which was one of Sprint’s best-selling phones ever,” reports VentureBeat.
“The 4G LTE model ups the ante on its predecessor by running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and featuring a 4.7-inch LCD display, a 1.5-GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB of RAM, and an 8-megapixel camera with HTC’s powerful ImageSense technology,” details the post.
The new phone runs on Sprint’s 4G LTE network, but unfortunately the network will not be operational until later this year. Until then, users must use Sprint’s 3G network.
According to Sprint, the 4G LTE network will initially be available in at least six major cities with coverage for 100 million Americans, to be followed by additional rollouts.
