The HTC EVO 4G+, previously code named HTC Rider, has been confirmed for a July 1st launch on South Korean-based operator KT Corp. The smartphone looks to be a 3D-less version of the HTC EVO 3D coming to the US this Friday on Sprint. As surprising as this may sound, dropping the 3D display and cameras might just be the device’s biggest selling point.
The HTC EVO 4G+ packs a 4.3-inch qHD display, the new standard in high-end Android smartphones. A dual-core processor, 8-megapixel camera, HTC’s Sense UI and Android Gingerbread round are also standard. To earn the 4G+ surname, the smartphone supports South Korea’s 4G WiBRO network.
So South Korea lands the HTC EVO 4G+, but what about the UK? If our memory serves us correct, the HTC EVO 4G remained stateside and in its place we received the HTC Desire. Additionally we have an Android super phone to call our own, the HTC Sensation.
Given these facts we’d expect the EVO 4G+ to remain a South Korea only affair. There is however, a distinct possibility HTC would launch the EVO 4G+ in the US on Sprint for users who prefer a 3D-less smartphone. We’ll give this one a 50/50 shot of a US release.
Coming July 1st | HTC | TBD
