Sprint recently launched an long-waited Android-based WiMAX Smartphone :  HTC EVO 4G aka HTC Supersonic in CTIA 2010.

HTC EVO 4G apparently was planned to take advantage of 4G WiMAX network in U.S. especially for HD video streaming on its super large 4.3-inch 480×800 multitouch screen . HTC EVO 4G equipped with HDMI output so you can also view 720p HD video streaming on your full HDTV without loose crisp image quality.

I wonder why HTC didn’t equipped AMOLED screen for EVO 4G just like HTC done for Google Nexus One or Sprint’s Samsung Moment.

AMOLED technology doesn’t require a backlight therefore it become low-power and low-cost large size screen.Samsung boasts AMOLED produce superior brightness means you can read it in sunlight – no more looking for a shady spot to see your screen.
