Sold by yywirelesss About this product Product Information Pair the sound construction of HTC mobile devices with the unlimited reach of the Sprint CDMA network, and the result is a smartphone that consistently exceeds expectations.
The 16GB internal storage can be supplemented for even more space. Wi-Fi connectivity is quick and seamless. Drag icons into the virtual ring at the bottom of the screen to quick launch it. Pull the ring up to the center to unlock it. Dragging the camera icon into the ring enables you to quickly take videos and pictures.
You can also launch the browser, phone, and text messaging feature directly from the lock screen. The primary screen displays the time and current weather by default. Tapping on the weather will give you a detailed forecast. It weighs only 4. The mAh battery provides an outstanding 12 hours of talk time and hours of standby time.
The 4. The viewing angles are also very wide on. To our disappointment, the SIM is embedded within the device and cannot be removed. From what we've been told, the only way to reach the SIM is to tear the phone apart. Unsurprisingly, the battery suffers from the same fate. To our delight, the 28mm lens is recessed underneath the cover, which means you'd have to try pretty hard to dirty it up.
There's just one simple yet significant catch. Despite the fact that this phone will be available in stores on May 18th, the LTE switch hasn't been flipped to the "on" position. We're told that it's still on track to arrive this summer, but don't expect to take advantage of the super-fast speeds to satisfy your lust for unlimited data just yet.
For now, the phone's name is just a bunch of empty acronyms writing checks Sprint can't cash. Just like any Ice Cream Sandwich device, however, you can still opt for mass storage functionality through your microSD card. Sprint's newest flagship follows in the exact footsteps of its similarly specced predecessor, offering up more of the same all around near-excellence. Navigation through the seven customizable homescreens is predictably fast and responsive. Unfortunately, that briskness falls prey to occasional hiccups, as we noticed when the screen froze during an attempt to access the settings menu.
We were able to get the device to eventually respond, but those moments of broken fluidity are not exactly few and far between. Tradition typically dictates a devolution for carrier-branded devices; an unholy fall from their purebred OEM graces resulting in a user experience fettered with the software hiccups most closely associated with third-party intervention.
The handset did, however, leap past its cousins with a SunSpider score of 1, and for good reason too, as full desktop pages rendered in under five seconds with occasional tiling. Caveat: Sprint's yet to officially flip the switch on its nascent LTE network, so we have no precise way of knowing the true longevity of the device's 2,mAh battery when stressed by those 1,Mhz waves. In the meantime, we were able to test the operator's 3G performance in New Orleans and, surprisingly, it yielded speeds that far exceeded the slow CDMA crawl we're used to seeing elsewhere.
We'll also dynamically update our review as we continue our tests on network speed, battery life and overall call quality with HD Voice, so stay tuned. The difference is likely due to the LTE radio being enabled without a network available.
We were unable to test HD Voice because the feature is not expected to start rolling out on Sprint's network until "late ," according to a spokesperson. Regular calls, however, sounded clear on both ends and reception was problem free. What's left to say about the software on a phone so nice, HTC's released it thrice?
Not much, it turns out, especially where carrier customization is concerned. Sprint's managed to keep that count down to two, with only Zone and Hotspot taking up space in the app drawer. This is, after all, the cream of Peter Chou's smartphone crop and, as such, comes lightly bedecked in a Sense 4 suit, underneath which lies Google's latest dessert-themed UI 4.
Members of the tech-savvy tribe should, at this point, be unfazed by this heretical skinned approach to Android 4. Whatever your preferred path may be, there's a refreshing lack of bloat on the handset. So, apart from Facebook and the Dropbox integration still 25GB for two years ushered in with the One line, you won't find much to complain about.
This camera button feels absolutely phenomenal -- with just the right amount of resistance and tactile feedback. Another improvement is the recessed optics which are protected from both accidental scratches and fingerprints. Update: We've uploaded a video and additional sample shots to the gallery above. As expected, it takes lovely pictures with the same impressive low-light performance, striking colors and balanced exposure as the One X and One S.
The features are identical too, with HDR and panorama modes plus a full set of real-time Instagram-like filters to chose from. The shooter is not without faults, however -- the autofocus often struggles in the dark and with close-ups of moving subjects, the white balance is sometimes off, and the settings still lacks a metering option center-weighted, spot or average.
While we applaud that the dual-detent shutter button locks both focus and exposure, there's no feedback from the UI when the camera is focused such as a beep or a visual indicator in the viewfinder. Oh, and Google Wallet comes pre-loaded, as well. The camera on this phone rocks. A couple of my personal faves are Vintage, Solarize, and Aqua. There are also plenty of settings for ISO, white balance, etc.
Shooting modes include auto, HDR, Panorama and portrait, but there seems to be some sort of auto-burst mode inherent in the app. In other words, when you hold down the shutter, you get a continuous stream of shots.
The shutter button itself is incredibly fast, snapping pictures as soon as you touch it. Color reproduction was excellent, though I think that HTC tends to blow out warmer colors like reds and yellows to make pictures more beautiful, but not necessarily realistic.
Low light shots turned out better than expected, and video recording only takes a second to focus and switch between bright and low light.
The camera app has some nice features to it, as well, like the fact that it goes into a thumbnail mode if you start swiping through pictures quickly. The only problem is that it only works like half the time. This is pretty good. I still found the display to be excellent, with little to no differentiation from pixel to pixel and bright, brilliant colors. Most phones with 4. It can be difficult to reach across the screen while performing one-handed actions, depending on the aspect ratio.
But HTC has found a way to master slapping giant displays on comfortably small frames.
