So what if the One series from HTC has not entered US yet? A redesigned version of the One X dubbed HTC Evo 4G LTE has geared up for its arrival through Sprint. Apparently, it is the first HD Voice capable smartphone in the country and will be made available in the second quarter of this year.

The device binges on the Android Ice Cream Sandwich platform, and the latest HTC Sense 4.0 teams up with this OS to offer an intuitive user interface. Its 1.5GHz dual core processor allows launching multiple operations simultaneously, while the support for the 4G LTE network speed lets users experience faster web browsing on the mobile device. Featuring a built-in kickstand, this sleek phone shows off a high definition display that provides a multi-touch real estate of 4.7 inches.

“Sprint has a long history of leading the wireless industry in innovation, and the debut of HTC Evo 4G LTE marks another chapter in that innovation story. Once again, we are partnering with HTC to deliver the benchmark Android device for the year with the next generation of our award-winning Evo brand. We know our customers will appreciate the focus on audio and voice quality with Evo 4G LTE, including the addition of Beats Audio and HD Voice capability,” commented Sprint CEO Dan Hesse.
