Sprint and HTC announced the first 4G WiMAX-capable Android smartphone, with downloads claimed to be up to ten times faster than 3G. The HTC Evo 4G is powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, and includes a 4.3-inch, 800 x 480 touchscreen with pinch-to-zoom, a mobile WiFi hotspot router, and an eight-megapixel camera.

According to Sprint, Clearwire’s 4G network covers more than 30 million people and should expand to 120 million people by the end of the year. Sprint claims that its 4G network delivers download speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. As suggested by the footnotes, however, it would be more accurate to say “two to 10 times faster,” as 3G speeds are said to average from 600Kbps to 1.7Mbps, and 4G speeds average from 3-6Mbps.
