HTC EVO 4G: Better Than the Nexus One?

26.03.2010
Sprint's new smartphone is being hailed as the new ruler of the Android empire. But has the crown really been passed?

The HTC EVO 4G, unveiled at the this week, sure has a feature-list fit for a king. The phone boasts a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen with HDMI output, dual front- and back-facing cameras, and a superspeedy 1GHz Snapdragon processor. Oh yeah -- and there's that whole 4G thing, too.

Hang on, though: Wasn't the Android throne was just overtaken a couple months ago? Google's , after all, was widely seen as stealing the top spot from Motorola's once-dominant . (That's speaking primarily from a specs perspective; the actually paint a different picture.)

So with the HTC EVO 4G almost in the wild, is the Nexus One doomed to become a has-been? Consider these comparisons and decide for yourself.

It's hard to miss all the gushing over the HTC EVO 4G's display, and there's a reason for the excitement: The phone has one sweet screen, and you don't have to be an to see that. The EVO 4G's 4.3-inch display beats the Nexus One's 3.7-inch offering (which back when it debuted). Both devices feature the same WVGA resolution: 800-by-480.
