Comparisons Featuring HTC EVO Shift 4G
Short Review
- The HTC EVO Shift 4G features a compact design with dimensions of 117 x 60 x 16 mm and a weight of 130g, making it portable yet sturdy.
- Its 3.6-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 259 ppi.
- Performance is driven by the Qualcomm MSM7630 Snapdragon S2 chipset, an 800 MHz Scorpion CPU, and 2GB of RAM, which allows for basic multitasking.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera with autofocus, capable of recording 720p video, though it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1500 mAh, which supports standard usage but does not offer fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 2.2 (Froyo) with an upgrade option to 2.3 (Gingerbread), it features HTC's Sense UI for a customized experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, WiMAX, and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the HTC EVO Shift 4G provides essential smartphone features in a compact form factor, though its specifications reflect its 2011 release.
- Special features are limited, with no advanced display technologies or high-end camera capabilities.
