HTC EVO 3D Europe

We first saw a CDMA version of the HTC EVO 3D back in March, bound for the US Sprint network. HTC had obviously put a lot of work into their first 3D device, so it seemed to be quite likely that a European device would be available soon.. and indeed it is, the HTC EVO 3D will be available across much of Europe from July onwards.

This is a big device, weighing 170 grams and measuring 126 x 52 x 12mm. Inside is a very large 1730 mAh battery that gives over 7 hours talktime and 17 days standby time on 3G.

Unlike the original EVO 3D, this is a GSM / HSPA smartphone suitable for European networks. The HTC EVO 3D has quad-band GSM and supports UMTS 900 / 2100, plus 802.11 b, g and n WiFi. Bluetooth 3.0 and USB connectivity is supported, and the EVO 3D also comes with GPS and DLNA support.

The EVO 3D will easily be one of the most powerful Android handsets you can buy when it hits the market from next month. HTC didn't give any guidance on price, but we would expect the HTC EVO 3D to retail for somewhere in the region of €700 at launch.
