A big, bright screen

It's hard to top the HTC Evo 4G LTE's big 4.7-inch, 720p HD-resolution LCD screen. The display also uses IPS technology so viewing angles are nice and wide.

The two-tone back

On the back of the HTC Evo 4G LTE are its 8-megapixel camera and LED flash, plus a kickstand that's tucked away inside a slick-looking red stripe.

An Evo icon

An Evo wouldn't be an Evo without a kickstand, and the HTC Evo 4G LTE doesn't disappoint. The phone's thin metal kickstand is spring-loaded and works whether the handset rests on its left or right side.

Razor-sharp looks

Despite its huge screen, the HTC Evo 4G LTE remains a trim 0.35 inch thick. Also shown here is the phone's dedicated shutter button.

Say cheese

Here's a closer view of the HTC Evo 4G LTE's camera button. It's attractively styled but sadly won't wake the phone up from standby mode.

Handy shortcuts

Running Sense 4, the HTC Evo 4G LTE has a set of configurable quick-launch icons on its lock screen. For example, dragging the camera symbol into the virtual ring on the bottom tells the phone to open that function immediately.

Watching video like this trailer for "The Avengers" is loads of fun on the HTC Evo 4G LTE's big 4.7-inch display.
