American Gadgeteers iFixit have done a postmortem on the hotly anticipated HTC EVO 4G after they were given one at the recent Google I/O event – The iFixit team managed to sneak it home and perform an autopsy to gain some valuable insights.
Apparently iFixit say that the “Evo 4G was an easy phone to open” in which just six screws needed removing to gain access to its insides.
According to the iFixit team they found that the glass was very simple to replace as was the battery. More interesting was the fact that the new phone has a larger battery than the current iPhone.
The team found that the new phone has a liquid damage indicator on the battery’s top edge – so if you drop your phone in water – HTC will be able to tell whether your telling the truth.
The dual LED flash assembly consists of no more than two LED’s soldered to a small interconnect board.
Other notable insights are that the forward facing 1.3 Megapixel camera lifts right out of its enclosure in the top portion of the Evo 4G.
No news on when we will get the HTC Evo 4G in the UK but it is to be released in the US this Friday priced at $199.
What do you think of the HTC Evo and its specs? Does it make you want to buy the phone over the rumoured iPhone 4G? Leave us a comment and let us know what you think…

Would love to have one of those, but its CDMA not GSM..? There is the trouble.
