I’m not your typical user, I tend to be very particular about little details that not everyone will care about, so I’ll try to only talk about these things in attempt to avoid saying what’s already been said in other reviews.
The Evo 4G LTE is not technically a part of the HTC One series found on AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, but it has all of the same internals (including the screen) of the HTC One X on AT&T. What this has that the One X doesn’t have, though, is an empty microSD slot along with the 16GB internal storage, a dedicated camera shutter button, and an officially unlockable bootloader.
Yep, the Evo 4G LTE’s bootloader is unlockable by the official HTCdev method, (made easy by the folk at XDA Forums.) No hacks or exploits. You do get a warning from HTC saying that unlocking may void the Warranty in some situations, but if you’re an advanced android user looking to put different versions of Android on this phone, this will likely not be a concern for you. For new users looking to get a phone that’s unlocked easily and reliably, you’ll want to check this one out. I have a modified version of the stock ROM that ships with this phone. It has tweaks such as remapping the functions of the physical capacitive buttons. (Replacing the “App Switcher” button with the traditional “Menu” function allows you to free up more screen space since the “three dot” software menu button won’t be on the screen anymore. Then, remap the “App Switcher” function to the Back button when long-pressed. I find this as an ideal setup on an unlocked LTE.) If you root your LTE, I’d also suggest downloading Android Commander for your computer so you can easily edit system-level files such as unwanted Apps. I’d give the EVO LTE 5/5 stars if I never unlocked the bootloader for custom ROMS — but now that I have, I’d rate this phone something like 7/5 stars if I could. It’s going beyond my expectations.
Elsewhere, I have to say I’m absolutely drooling over the screen on this phone. I’m a digital artist, so I’m very perceptive of screen color casts and things.
