HTC EVO Design 4G Review [Video]

, Oct 26th 2011 Discuss [5]

Here we have the *near* smallest smartphone to carry the legendary EVO namesake, and with a 4-inch S-LCD display with qHD resolution and price tag of under $100 right out of the gate, we’ve got to wonder if this is the perfect package for petite palms. Android 2.3 Gingerbread is powered by a 1.2Ghz single-core processor from Qualcomm, all inside a smartphone that’s a scant 4.80 x 2.40 x 0.50 inches in size. It’s tall, it’s substantial, and it’s made to be your everyday hand-sized EVO at an inexpensive price.

HTC EVO Design 4G Hands-on and Unboxing [Video]

, Oct 24th 2011 Discuss [12]

What HTC is revealing here is a compact version of an EVO with no less than a 4-inch qHD display, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and world phone capabilities. It also connects via WiMAX for that brand of 4G speed, and will cost you $99.99 with a two year agreement. So what’s the deal with this phone, it’s only got a single-core 1.2GHz processor and a 5 megapixel camera? It’s another mid-range wallop from HTC, that’s what it is, and given the solid one for all and all for one design of the EVO range, we’re expecting a lot, even IF this device is simply a strange remix of the original EVO 4G. Will EVO users feel the need to upgrade? Is it considered an upgrade when the display gets smaller?

Apple iPhone 4S A5 chip vs 1.5 GHz dual-core Galaxy S II in browser tests [Video]

, Oct 12th 2011 Discuss [207]

Though the 1.5 GHz Qualcomm dual-core processor may be the highest GHz dual-core processor in the land today, from what we’re seeing here, the Apple A5 chip in the iPhone 4S certainly seems to be holding its own when tossed into the out-of–box browser competition. What we’ve got here for you is a slightly unscientific set of tests, one that first shows the difference between the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S, that is single-core compared to dual-core chips from Apple, then the iPhone 4S VS the Samsung Galaxy S II carried by T-Mobile, this version having a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm dual-core processor, all tests conducted simply by tapping a link and seeing how fast they can load a webpage.

HTC Jetstream Review

, Oct 11th 2011 Discuss [16]

Presenting HTC’s vision for the perfect 10-inch Android tablet, the HTC Jetstream, complete with a Qualcomm MSM8660 1.5 Ghz dual-core processor under the hood and a pricy $700 USD bill attached to it carried by AT&T. The question we’ve got on our minds, and have had on our minds since the pricing was first announced is: how could a 10-inch tablet enter an environment with several 10-inch tablets already having been out for several months with a significantly higher price and expect to do well for sales? As it turns out, this HTC tablet does not hold back – not in construction or content – but will its individual specifications be enough to create one product worthy of the price tag?

It’s time for HTC to join the 10-inch Android tablet game, and with what might be the highest-quality build on an tablet with Honeycomb inside to date with the HTC Jetstream – but is it too late to jump in? And at $699.99 WITH a 2-year contract on AT&T, is it much, much too expensive to compete with the rest of the tablet crowd? That’s what they’re saying, ladies and gentlemen, but we’ve gotta be sure – OR prove them all wrong, of course. This tablet has hit the SlashGear review bench today, and here we take our first look at its final-build insides and out.
