HTC EVO 4G + gets official (in South Korea) [video]

Sprint’s flagship EVO 3D hasn’t even made its way out of the womb yet and its successor is already official. HTC on Thursday unveiled the EVO 4G + in South Korea — odd, since “EVO” is a Sprint brand. The new superphone is essentially a Sensation in EVO’s clothing, and it features a 4.3-inch display, an 8-megapixel camera, HTC’s latest Sense UI and, of course, 4G WiBRO connectivity for the South Korean market. Expect that BRO to be MAX’d when the 4G + makes its way to U.S. shores, which might not be for a while unless Sprint doesn’t mind the EVO 3D sharing the spotlight with a 3D-less device. Of course the massively popular EVO 4G is getting a little gray up top these day, so a next-generation 4G + model would be more than welcome for those not interested in a third dimension on their smartphones. Hit the break for a third-party video of the EVO 4G + in action.

    Man I hope this comes sooner than later. I could do without all the 3D nonsense on the new Evo (even though I am fairly certain it can be shut off.) That and I am ready to jump off the Big Red boat. So come on Sprint pick this thing up!

    You morons at BGR do realize this is not the successor to the EVO 3D, this is the Korean version of the EVO 3D.  This device just takes away the 3D and adds the + along with an 8MP camera in place of the two cameras.  Get your facts straight otherwise just shut this site down because you have no idea what you are talking about.

      So… your argument is that the Korean version of a 3D phone doesn’t have 3D? It makes a lot more sense to call it the sequel to the EVO 4G.

        It is essentially the same phone as the EVO 3D that we have with Sprint.  The internals are the same with the key difference being the 3D camera.  This phone won’t make it to America in this version so there is no point in calling it the sequel to a phone it won’t be replacing.

        I get what your saying. To my eyes, it just seems more reasonable to call it an EVO 2 than it does to call it an EVO 3D without 3D.

        But, like you said… there’s no reason to even think that it’s going to come here.

        It looks more closely to the Sensation that the EVO 3D and the Sensation is different and not a variation of the EVO brand.  I’m thinking it’s the equivalent of that and not the 3D without the 3D.

    Who will this be carried by in Korea? I’m going over in Sept for a year and this may be the phone I want.

    What kind of Reporting is this? Do you guys REALLY THINK that Sprint would release the EXACT same phone it already has minus its Big Selling Point to the Mass Market “3D’” ? This “IS” the EVO3D minus the 3D for ANOTHER Market (Korea)…. It’s really BASIC to understand that… Jeez.

    Sprint please?  I refuse to buy the 3D exclusively because of the 3D BS.  This better get to Sprint before the Photon or SGS2 or HTC is losing a customer over it.

    Verizon needs a device like this.  The Thunderbolt is terrible.  They need this and a top tiered vanilla one.  Hopefully the next Nexus devices comes to VZW.
