HTC EVO 4G vs iPhone 4. Apple has announced that the new IPhone 4 will be available soon and that it will have some features that people are pretty excited about. One of these features is the fact that the phone will have two cameras on it. There will be a front facing camera and a rear facing camera. If you are an IPhone fan this is good news but some in the media has been treating this feature as something new. They believe that this is another innovation from Apple. The truth of the matter is that there are smart phones out there that already have this feature. One of the smart phones that already has this feature includes the HTC Evo 4G. The Evo is probably the closest thing that Apple has to a competitor on the market when it comes to innovation. Its technology is just as good as even the new IPhone 4 and people really seem to like the phone. The one thing that it may seem unlikely in this battle but is true is that the HTC Evo 4G video chat features will actually be better than the IPhone 4.
One of the main features that Apple spoke about at the announcement for the new IPhone 4 is that the phone will have an enhanced display. This means that the company has worked on the resolution of the screen so much that they have decided to give it a name. It is called Retina Display. The screen resolution is 960 x 640 while the screen resolution of the HTC Evo 4G is 800 x 480. With such a huge gap in screen resolution, this should automatically give the IPhone the advantage when it comes to applications that use the screen such as video chat. But that line of reasoning does not take into account the fact that the screen of the Evo 4G is much bigger. It is one of the biggest screens on the market when it comes to smart phones. The size of the screen on the HTC EVo 4G is 4.5 inches while the screen on the IPhone 4 is 3.5 inches. When you are using a piece of software such as video chat, the size of the screen makes a big difference. It allows you to see the person that you are talking to a lot easier.
Another reason why the video chat on the HTC Evo 4G is better than the IPhone 4 is the fact that you can use the service on the 4G network. And if you are not on a 4G network at the time, then you can use it with whatever data plan that you are connected to at the moment. With the IPhone 4, the service only works if you are connected to WiFi. This is very a big plus on the part of the Evo. Apple not allowing you to use the video chat service if you are not on a Wifi network makes the service almost useless since most people spend their time on the IPhone connected to a data provider and not Wifi.
If you are a user of the IPhone 4, then you have a lot of features that other smart phone owners will be envious of. Unfortunately, the video chat features of the phone are not one of them. The HTC Evo 4G implements the feature better and people will notice the difference.
