[Updated] Sprint And HTC Announce The $199 EVO 4G LTE: 4.7-Inch Display, 1.5GHz Dual-Core Processor, And Android 4.0 With Sense 4

Posted by in EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News, Sprint, Videos

We've been hearing rumors about Sprint's version of the HTC One X for a few weeks now, and the pair just took the wraps off the device. Simply known as the HTC EVO 4G LTE (okay, so I was off by one letter and a number on the name speculation, whatever), this will likely be Sprint's flagship device at the time of launch, and will be one of the premier devices on its LTE network.

[Leaked Photos] Sprint's HTC EVO One Shows Off Its 4.7" Screen, Red Kickstand, And Could It Be... A Camera Button?

Posted by in EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), HTC, Leaks, News, Sprint

The famous red-and-black accents and the kickstand seem to live on in the HTC EVO One (or so we think it'll be called), according to these photos of Sprint's upcoming One X variant. The device, which looks to be a test unit, was obtained by one of DroidLife's readers, who then forwarded the snaps on for all of us to enjoy. You are enjoying them, aren't you?

Now, don't be too hasty and judgmental, take your time to examine these. The back of the unit we're looking at seems to have a busted top area for some reason - it kind of looks like it was mauled by a hungry tiger before posing for the camera.

[Rumor Analysis] Is This Leaked "Press Photo" Sprint's HTC EVO One?

Posted by in EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News, Rumors, Sprint
Last Updated: April 4th, 2012

When it comes to rumors, the day before the press conference announcing a device often turns out to be the most reliable. Just such a rumor has landed today, in the form of a purported "press photo" of Sprint's EVO One (at least, that's the rumored name).

Now, I don't want to be a Debbie-downer here, but there are a few things that make this "press photo" look like less than the real McCoy (though I'm not outright calling it a fake - so read on).

First, there are the images flanking the supposed EVO One. These stock photos of the AT&T and T-Mobile One X and One S, respectively, have been available for over a month now.

New Rumors About Sprint's Variant Of The HTC One X Surface, Could Be Called The EVO One

Posted by in EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News, One X (Endeavor), Rumors, Sprint
Last Updated: April 4th, 2012

So here we go - the rumor mill is really starting to churn out some seemingly solid details about Sprint's supposed version of the upcoming HTC One X. We first heard about this device shortly after the One X's official announcement back at Mobile World Congress, then rumored to be called the Jewel. Rumors later suggested the name internal name was actually Jet, but few other details have made their way to the masses - until now. 

I briefly suggested that the name of the device could be the EVO LTE, as it's said to be the newest successor in the EVO line.
