As soon as HD2 hit the market Android equivalent was missing. We wanted the same specs and huge screen but with Android OS. Well, it looks like Europe and GSM users will have to wait for a while. Now the Americans get the chance to show off, as Sprint gets lucky and announces the new flagship model -- HTC EVO 4G.

HTC EVO 4G

HTC EVO 4G is definately a great device, integrating all the features of Android 2.1 and newest Sense from HTC. You'll notice the mini HDMI jack, a new feature that all the high end phones should have. EVO 4G has 8MP camera as well as front facing camera for video calls. The star is, of course the WVGA 4.3" screen, already seen on HD2. It is not yet known if the screen is going to be AMOLED. The Snapdragon processor works at 1GHz, same as HD2 and Desire.

Lenovo joins Android frenzy with announced Snapdragon powered device named Lephone. The interesting part is that besides being the cool, slick smartphone, one of the options include attachable qwerty keyboard with cover. Besides the usual options (Bluetooth, WiFi) it looks like it lacks a good camera (3MP only). It will be available in China, and we expect more details at MWC, Barcelona.

We are pleased to announce exclusive specifications of the upcoming HTC Leo. It is expected that this name will change since it is temporary. We are not certain about a release date yet, but we suppose HTC won’t miss the chance to have it before the holidays – so we tip Q4/2009. Notice the huge screen, capacitive display and 1GHz snapdragon processor !

One of the most expected premieres on MWC2009 was HTC’s Touch Pro 2. We did not like the naming but tilt mechanism is back. After the Touch Pro’s striking resemblance to Diamond (but with 1.8 times the thickness factor) we can say that this is the real successor to TyTN 2.

As far as the specs go, nothing is realy changed compared to the newer HTC models:

  • Procesor: Qualcomm® MSM7200A™, 528 MHz
  • OS: WM 6.1 Pro
  • Memory: 256/512MB RAM/ROM
  • Dimensions: 116 X 59.2 X 17.25 mm (4.57 X 2.33 X 0.68 inches), 175 grams (6.17 ounces)
  • Screen: 3.6″, WVGA (480×800), tilt
  • + FM, G-Sensor, microSD, QWERTY, 1500mAh

Touch Flo 3D now has the Calendar tab, and HTC assures us that with Conference room application and adjusted integrated mic and speaker, Touch Pro 2 is all that we’ll need on a meeting.
