HTC EVO 3D COST AND BATTERY LIFE

HTC and Sprint have just announced the successor to the highly successful EVO 4G – the EVO 3D. As the rumors suggested, the EVO 3D packs a 4.3-inch qHD (960×540) glasses-free 3D display.
                                        
The handset is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8660 processor and packs 768MB of RAM. The back of the handset sports dual-5MP cameras with dual-LED flash, which are capable of recording 720p HD videos in 3D mode (glasses free), and 1080p in 2D mode. Like the EVO 4G, the EVO 3D also supports Sprint’s WiMAX network. 

The handset will launch with Android 2.3 Gingerbread on-board, with the latest version of Sense running on top of it. The usual Wi-Fi, GPS with A-GPS, Accelerometer and a 3.5mm audio jack are also present. The handset also sports a mini-HDMI port and DLNA capabilities.

Users can connect their EVO 3D to their 3D enabled HDTV and enjoy 3D content. Sadly, the kickstand found at the back of the original EVO 4G is nowhere to be found on the EVO 3D. HTC also states that they have improved the battery life over the EVO 4G, and will ship the phone with a 1730mAh battery.

While there is still some back-and-forth over when the HTC EVO 3D will finally grace us with its presence, an ad from RadioShack has clarified to what scale this highly-anticipated smartphone will lighten your wallet. On a new or upgraded two-year contract, the 3D-capable handset will cost $199.99, as opposed to $499.99 off-contract.

As with the EVO 4G, EVO 3D owners will have to cough up that mandatory $10 monthly charge for Sprint’s “Premium” Data plan. The RadioShack ad confirmed a few other juicy tidbits, as well, including the fact that a copy of the 3D version of The Green Hornet will come pre-loaded on the handset. Also, if you buy from RadioShack, you’ll receive a free download of “Phenomenon,” The Black Eyed Peas single. Hurray.

The final note-worthy point of the ad goes out to you EVO 4G owners: If you’re in the mood for a change, or have a craving for 3D, you can go ahead and trade in your EVO 4G for a $100 price-cut on the new EVO 3D (at RadioShack only). So potentially, an EVO 4G owner who is eligible for a renewed (or new) 2-year contract can snag one of the Summer’s hottest phones for a Benjamin.

The EVO 3D will be available starting this summer. Sadly, HTC and Sprint did not mention anything about the pricing of the EVO 3D.

That’s right. This is the absolute lowest price we’ve seen for the HTC EVO 3D as of yet and is a steal for a phone that is shaping up to be one of the best releases of the year. Of course, the deal is going to come at the price of a new two year contract but for most of you that should be fine. Wirefly is also throwing in free shipping as well.

For those that need a reminded, the HTC EVO 3D is an extremely sexy device and will be coming with a 4.3 inch qHD Super LCD display, dual 5MP cameras for 3D, a 1.3MP front camera, a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, 4GB built-in storage, as well as the new HTC Sense 3.0 over Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
                      
As for a release date, it’s going to be hitting shelves on June 24th alongside the HTC EVO View 4G tablet. For those of you interested in an amazing device for an amazing price, you can head here to Wirefly to check out the deal.
