Sprint's HTC EVO 3D official case to have kickstand?
Admirers of Sprint's new flagship EVO 3D may have noticed something lacking that's often lauded by current EVO 4G owners: the kickstand. Why did it get dumped in the first place? Well apparently -- according to the folks at Androinica -- there simply wasn't room with the two cameras and the battery. Thankfully, all may not be lost as HTC is reportedly creating a case for the device that'll include the kickstand. Though, if you peek at the mockup above you may notice the glaring issue that also plagues the Thunderbolt: the charge port -- which has been relocated to the side -- is facing the desk, making charging a non-starter while in use. No mention of release date, pricing, or if this thing'll even look like this once final, but we're bound to hear more. So in the interim, keep your eyes on the accessory shelves and please holler if you bump into something a bit more useful than this.
HTC EVO 3D and EVO View 4G tablet spotted -- on Sprint's website, where else?
Oh, you know all about them, that much is true, but have you yet seen the HTC EVO 3D and EVO View 4G tablet? No, we hadn't either, until this very moment when another premature information upload on Sprint's website revealed their appearance. Two pre-registration pages exist for the as-yet unannounced products, one for the 1.2GHz dual-core EVO 3D smartphone and one for the 1.5GHz single-core EVO View 4G tablet. Both run Android and are unquestionably set to feature as Sprint's flagship devices in their respective categories. Beyond confirming that the EVO looks like an EVO and noting that the EVO View seems to have a black case rather than the silvery one that the HTC Flyer (the product it's based on) comes with, there's little new here -- you'll have to wait till Sprint finally makes all this hardware official over at CTIA to learn more.
EVO 3D specs confirmed: 1080p 2D video, 720p 3D, dual cameras, 1.2GHz dual-core CPU
CTIA snooping is in full swing today, as the HTC EVO 3D has seen its major specs divulged courtesy of a document within the exhibition halls of the show. True to our initial scoop and subsequent spec leak, we're looking at a 3D-capable successor to the EVO 4G, this one rocking a 1.2GHz dual-core processor (Qualcomm's MSM8660), a 4.3-inch qHD ( 960 x 540) display, dual 5 megapixel cameras around back, and the sweet, sweet promise of 1080p video playback. That's constrained to 720p for viewing 3D content, but there's no denying this new Sprint smartphone's shaping up to be yet another multimedia powerhouse. Specs of the EVO View tablet have also been snapped, marking it as indeed a Sprint rebadge of HTC's 1.5GHz, 7-inch Flyer slate. Look for both to become official at Sprint's presser later this week.
