Rated 90% by by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)The HD screen is the best we've ever seen, its quad core processor is mighty fast, its camera mostly impressive and its design is reasonably smart.
Rated 84% by by The Verge (May, 2012)It's a sturdy stand, and a nice thing to have if you want to watch movies in bed or use your phone as an alarm clock, but it's also totally unobtrusive if you don't want to use it.

by GSM Arena (May, 2012)The kickstand itself is a great addition to the device - it can be really helpful when viewing multimedia or making video calls.

4.7"
One X by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)While it's still not as good as a hardware one, it's the next best thing - the 4.7" screen has enough real estate for big, well-spaced keys, which are easy to hit.
EVO 4G LTE by c|net (May, 2012)It's an awesome feature, one that I feel more big-screen phones should have.
screen resolution
One X by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)Not only is it remarkably sharp (at about 312 ppi, it's virtually impossible to distinguish individual pixels), but also has great contrast and nicely saturated colors.
EVO 4G LTE by GSM Arena (May, 2012)The videos from the Evo are nicely smooth with an above average amount of detail.

camera resolution
| 0 MP | 8 MP | 8 MP |
One X by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)Not because it features more megapixels – it's still an 8-megapixel model – but because it has a host of other improvements and a superfast continuous shooting mode.
EVO 4G LTE by c|net (May, 2012)Among the highlights of the Evo 4G LTE's 8-megapixel camera and its features are the dedicated image processor and a Continuous Shooting mode for snapping images in bursts of up to 4 frames per second.

carrier
HTC EVO 4G LTE | Rated 84% by by The Verge (May, 2012)If you're thinking about leaving Sprint, though, the Evo 4G LTE probably isn't enough to keep you around — there are similarly good phones available on other carriers, and the One X already connects to AT&T's fast LTE network.

HTC EVO 4G LTE | Rated 84% by by The Verge (May, 2012)The One X has great battery life, so the fact that the Evo has an even larger 2,000mAh battery than its sibling (and no LTE to worry about) gave me great hope for its longevity.
operating system

HTC EVO 4G LTE | Rated 84% by by The Verge (May, 2012)Once again, little's changed from the One X — it's the best Sense yet, but it's still not as good as stock Android.

screen
HTC EVO 4G LTE | Rated 76% by by c|net (May, 2012)As I noted with the HTC One X, the Evo's screen gets very bright and creates vivid colors.
HTC EVO 4G LTE | Rated 84% by by The Verge (May, 2012)Regardless, the Evo certainly lives up to the high bar set by the One X and One S in terms of build and material quality.
HTC EVO 4G LTE | Rated 76% by by c|net (May, 2012)In line with HTC's other One-class phones, the HTC Evo 4G LTE is unlocked by either pulling a virtual ring from the bottom of the screen to the center, or moving icons into the ring to quick-launch the related functions.
type
HTC EVO 4G LTE | Rated 76% by by c|net (May, 2012)Being a state-of-the-art Android device, the Evo 4G LTE comes with the standard Google services installed, such as Gmail, Google+, and Navigation, along with the Play Store, from which you can download apps from a catalog of more than 500,000 titles.
