CTIA Wireless: Hands-on with the Sprint’s HTC Evo 3D and Evo View 4G tablet

Sprint Press Conference

ntSprint reps prohibited members of the press to hold the Evo 3D smartphone, but at the very least we got to look at the Evo View 4G, the U.S. version of the HTC Flyer tablet.

ntBoth of these HTC/Sprint devices offer HDMI and DLNA video output for connecting to HDTVs and can serve as hotspots for up to eight Wi-Fi-enabled devices.

ntThe HTC Evo 3D and Evo View 4G tablet brings Sprint’s total of 4G devices to 22.

ntUsing an HDMI cable, the 3D video can be instantly transfered to the connected 3D HDTV. Just note that the screen goes blank on the phone when using the output function.

ntUsers shouldn’t need 3D glasses to shoot or view 3D video playback on the 4.3-inch qHD 3D display. I only looked for a minute or two, but the screen still looked a bit fuzzy when in 3D mode. However, these are prototypes, so that could change when released.

ntOther specs include dual 5-megapixel rear-facing cameras and Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).

ntThe next big announcement was the 7-inch HTC Evo View 4G tablet, which is backwards compatible with 3G connections. While I didn’t have it with me to compare, the Evo View tablet feels a lot like the Nook Color in grip, size and weight. The display, however, is definitely brighter and clearer.

Running on HTC Sense with a 1.5Ghz processor, it also runs on Gingerbread as well with an Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) promised for a later date.
