Does it have an SD Card slot?

Official specs say no SD card slot. Travesty.

No thanks.

HTC EVO LTE
I wouldn't jump ship to that. It doesn't even have LTE.
No LTE, no sd card slot, LG, not a very good upgrade in my opinion. Seems like manufacturers are moving backwards. I understand their reasoning for no lte, it more of a world phone that way, but definitely a backwards step in terms of missing features.

Depending on your area, T-Mobiles "4G" (HSPA+) is just as fast in the real world as LTE, especially from Sprint. Not a killer imo.
$300 superphone phone off contract? That is not moving backwards.
Personally Im not going anywhere due to this ol' contract of mine. But if they keep this up, switching to T-Mobile and $30 a month bill with a $300 superphone sounds really freaking great to me. Will have to see what it looks like next year though.
Im totally with you on the SD card though, that is a bummer.
Just my opinion, but I don't see it as a superphone. To others it might be.

I understand you having an opinion, but being how this is the internet, and I disagree with it, I feel obligated to try and change your opinion to my way of thinking, even though I know it to be a fruitless endeavor.

The Nexus 4 runs a quad core S4 (with Adreno 320, not our stopgap 225), 2 gigs ram, 720p RGP Stripe screen , bluetooth 4.0, USB host, and all the sensors you could want, plus built in inductive charging.
How is that not a superphone? It outspecs/ties anything on the market, certainly anything based on the S4 Plus like our EVOs, and I still consider my phone to be a superphone. If storage is such a concern, bring a thumbdrive with you for your offline media, it doesnt change the fact that the guts of the phone are the best you can find on the market shy of the Nexus 10.

I can see your point, I'll concede that as far as specs specs go it is a superphone. My own requirements for what should be in a phone is where I based my opinion. I can't really disagree with you though.

Lack of an SD card isn't a deal breaker for me. I rarely store music or movies on my phone anyway.
After moving through multiple Samsung Phones and now an Evo, I'm just tired of waiting months for an OS update. I will probably switch to buying Nexus devices exclusively when my contract is up.
The fact that the unlocked Nexus is not much more than I usually pay for a subsidized phone may be the reason I switch off of Sprint.

I guess it's 20MBit/s which would be 2.5MByte/s, so an SD card should be able to handle that.
Would be nice to see on our evo 3d's
The Sensation get's so much love.
I am by no means a developer, so I don't even know if this the right way to achieve similar results, but I pulled the media_profile XML files from the flashable zip and my copy of MeanROM and started comparing them to see if I could make any sense out of it. I would assume that sideloading the APK from the zip would bork because of the framework change between Sense 3.6 and 3.0... Any ideas?

I wanted the galaxy nexus pretty bad when it first came out. But that was 4 months ago...
Ive debated about the SGS3. It will have more raw power for sure but the developer support for whatever the Sprint version will be probably won't be as good. I absolutely love what S4 krait is supposed to be. Android skins don't really bother me as much anymore because everything is ICS now so I can get just put trebuchet on it and be ok. Although doubtful, if the SGS3 comes with a dual core A15 soc then I will have no choice all A15 soc will kick ass haha. As of now, the One X with is beastly camera and krait on board will be my next phone. I'm sure the quad core A9 exynos will be sweet like they always are but the power effeciancy of 28nm as well as LTE built into the die (assuming it supports 2.5Ghz) will be sweet.

this is a common misconception. i will explain;
a class 10 SD card, has a MINIMUM write speed of 10 megabytes per second. this is to say, the lowest sustained write/read/execute speed is 10MB/s. The same goes for class 4 etc, c4 = 4MB/s min.
as for max, my class 10 card writes at ~15.6 MB/s consistent, and read at ~25.

Have we already forgotten the camera mods that were already done in response to the awful camera this phone released with? The no compression and higher bit rate video mods have already been done here. I know I've seen it with the stock camera but haven't seen it for the latest update and I'm pretty sure the amaze camera mod has these implement already.

Is it official or is the One X Sprint phone a rumor?
I've been trying to get myself to justify a decision of which phone to upgrade to. I've been with evo since the very first batch of OG's and i'v always been indifferent towards Samsung.
At first glance I thought i'd go with the gs3 because of its sleek design and removable battery, but after dissecting it a bit, something about it just isn't as appealing to me anymore.
If I buy the LTE on the other hand I feel that i'll regret it a lot. While it is a great phone in many aspects, it is severely flawed in just as many important ones.
It's the first android phone EVER to not have a removable battery and the bootloader is as locked as ever. While these two things may be easily overlooked by some of you, I feel that any true Android fan would be torn on going with any phone from HTC's new line of ONE/EVO's just based on principle alone. Not that I have anything against it, but I just can't be the guy who buys the "next HTC Android phone" just because it's the "next HTC Android phone". When a company is blatantly disregarding the consumer I find it hard to support them.
How many times have we ragged on Apple for not including a removable battery? How many times do we brag about having an "open" operating system? How many times do we glorify our expandable memory (referring to the ONE line of phones here)? How in the hell do you not question HTC's motives at this point guys?
you can check my stats, i'v been with HTC since day one...LITERALLY. Since the G1 came out i'v been an HTC user...but come on now.
End rant. lol
I just got my hopes up for the sgs3 announcement (strangely) and thought i'd have an alternative to the LTE but low and behold...
I don't know about you guys, but the evolutionary cycle of Android seems to be taking a turn for the worst. All of the phone manufacturers are completely disregarding consumer feedback and are focusing on more processing speed in order to fool the masses into thinking that more processors equates to "better performance"... I hate to say this, but I feel they are even fooling a lot of you "tech-savvy" folks here at XDA into think we need more than 2 cores on a 4 inch phone...Same thing goes for size. How in the world are 4.7/4.8 inches becoming the standard? I thought 4.3 was the biggest justifiable size as a standard, but I guess not...Say what you want about apple, but at least they realize that a phone is a phone and a tablet is a tablet. (p.s I hate them more than most of you sooooooo)
i don't know if i'm just severely sleep deprived or what, but this is the first time that i'v EVER been "Anti-Android".
End rant 2.

That's pretty debatable. In fact i'm willing to bet my life that the majority of Android users would argue against you.
Phones are evolving into "mini computers". Computers are not meant to have limited memory.
Also removing features like expandable memory is completely pointless.
If you read my post, I was trying to show that HTC has been very questionable lately. You may not mind not having expandable memory, but how would you justify HTC's decision to do that?

Ohhhhh lol. I was like wth are these dimensions for?
I personally don't mind having the bigger screens, it just doesn't make sense for that to become the standard on all Android phones.
When the OG Evo came out I thought it was on the larger size, but for me it was ideal because of my hands. I never envisioned 5inch phones would become an Android standard though. I see the purpose of the Galaxy Note, but other than that it just doesn't make sense to me.
We have 7-10 inch tablets. Why do we need such a ridiculous amount of screen space on a phone. I hate to refer back to Apple, but they have a much more flourishing app market than us and they've maintained a sub 4inch screen size. Like I said though, I think 4-4.3 inch would be a pretty ideal standard.

Yeah I agree 100% about having back-ups and what not.
But the principle behind releasing a "new phone" with less features doesn't appeal to me. And I highly doubt that HTC opted with not included an SD card because they were concerned with battery life.
If we were to judge usefulness of cell-phone features i'd say expandable memory is just as important as a camera. While we can debate that forever, it's my opinion because I use my sd card a lot. Much more than my camera in fact....I can't be the only one.
I also use my phone as my main media driver, whether it be music or movies, I use a lot of storage.
I wouldn't mind streaming everything since I have unlimited data and can buy spare batteries for $10 on ebay....oh wait.

I was looking forward to a 5 inch screen for the next HTC flagship to Sprint, but I'll settle for 4.7 with 1080p display at 468ppi. And the rest of the specs, I'll take it.
Not much to be hyped about compared to the DNA....camera...and screen are really all that's a upgrade to it... Show me next gen Qualcomm SoC in a Sprint device and then ill get excited!
Really worried they will toss APQ chip in with MSM/MDM for radios which will be old by time of an EVO launch....

I still don't see VZ jumping on board this soon after the DNA release either...
Dunno my biggest thing is to NOT see the APQ SoC in a device as that's been done and there won't be any firsts there.... Regardless I don't see sprint disbanding the EVO brand for this still...they need their device to set apart...but who knows...

I hear ya, but this will be on Sprint .. the DNA isn't, also this will have a bigger battery and with the smaller screen it'll smoke the DNA's battery life. So, better battery, screen, and camera?

That's nice. Big improvement over the EVO that's for sure, and I bet there's other improvements over the DNA that will come out.

My wife keeps wanting me to buy a new phone for her, but she doesn't like the ones with the big screens. She'll only do HTC, and we have to stay with Sprint. So, she may have to deal with it.
If the next nexus phone comes to sprint then that will probably be my next and first choice. The fact that you can't take the battery out the evo 4g lte really really turns me away. I plan to give my evo 4g lte to my dad but something tells me I'm going to have to do some replacing of the battery because of how fast these batteries lose their charge after a while. That's gonna be a pain despite the how to videos. My second choice will be the S4 unless HTC gets there stuff together. Don't get me wrong, I like sprints variant of the one X but samsung is making their devices way more attractive lately. Always been a HTC fan but they haven't been coming through lately. Here's to hoping they listen to us.

If I can expect to get an update to an Android 4.2 / Sense 5 update for my phone, I'll keep it for an additional year and get something after that. HTC still has a lot of work to do, but I would really like to see continued upgrades for our handset.

You know sense 5 will happen on this device. Thinking this phone is gonna make the long haul. Sprint and HTC really needs to focus on a 1.5 year update policy for every device. Or maybe make it a two system update. Get 4.1-4.2, then 4.3 or next update. Or sense 4 and sense 5. Now that we arent upgrading our phones as often as we were 3 years ago, its either gonna be update to future proof the consumer investment or people will be jumping ship.

No mention of sd card there, no bueno. Plus with 1080p I'd hope there's a gpu upgrade in there as well, that's a lot of pixels that need updated.

sd slot for the sprint variant probably
Got that code to do the tradeup and I plugged in the info and it looks like the HTC Evo LTE is worth just $100 trade up for the HTC One, in case anyone was curious. Don't know how this can be of any benefit Would you be charged the full price of the phone or just $99 ($199- $100 trade up)? Would your contract with Sprint reset for 2 yrs when you got the phone? I'm still reading through the fine print.
Surprisingly the One X is $115 and the One S is $100. Shows you how much they don't value the Evo LTE. Even the old G1 is worth $100. Sad I tell you.
One is not a big upgrade over the LtE so wait for next year's phone if you need to trade in your lte

Yes. However, I bought the LTE off-contract last year, which means I have an upgrade coming up. Really don't know if I should sell the LTE and get the One or wait to see what else comes out. Hate sitting with an upgrade though.
The chipset upgrade is looking less crucial for me than back in the day, the LTE is pretty fast the way it is. So what I would be really gaining is great speaker sound, better camera (questionable), slightly better screen (but how much better is slcd2 --> slcd 3?), and Sense 5.
However, I would be losing the kickstand, dedicated camera button, menu/recent apps button, slightly smaller phone (dimension-wise, the One has more bezel, which equates to bigger phone even though they're both 4.7")
Love the chassis on the One though! But the LTE is mostly aluminum, so it doesn't make it as bad.
Can't decide!!

What do you think I did with the phone I had when I bought the LTE off-contract? It's a 3D by the way, and it's sitting in my office for this very reason
I for one am not impressed with the HTC One in regards to it really being worth an upgrade from the LTE
The 1st camera reviews that have come out so far have been beyond disappointing.
In due time a Dev will have the HTC One software running on the EVO LTE
After that, what would be a reason to upgrade if you are not eligible for a full upgrade?
I would also be highly disappointed if HTC no longer gives sprint an exclusive phone.
Thats one of the main reasons why I have chosen to remain with sprint (11 years) as I refuse to have a sprint phone that other carriers offer
because i know that phone performs better on their networks that have better LTE reception

Pretty much sums up how I feel. I may have to see what the beast Samsung has cooked up for the S4. Whichever version had the Exynos Octa is where I will be going.

It made sense to me. He said he needs a reason to be on Sprint. He said his reason was the awesome exclusive phone. So if there's no excusivity (i.e. same phone on every carrier), then it doesn't make sense to him to be on Sprint, sense the signals are worse than the other big name carriers.
One big reason I'm on Sprint though is the price. I'm willing to suck up the signal quality for a lower phone bill.

Why do some think the One isn't an upgrade? It has a quad core and double the ram. Really, to me, it's a bigger upgrade from the LTE than the LTE was from the 3D (unless you actually have LTE). The 3D was a duo core just as our phone and with the same 1gb of ram. Hell, with the sense 4 ports it was a pretty spiffy handset. Coming to this phone from the Note 2, there is a definitive difference from a duo core processor to a quad core..I think sometimes (myself included) we don't see the next best thing as a justification for upgrade simply because we aren't eligible yet or can't afford it outright. Just my thoughts...

OK so i have been trying to do some research to find out if the "SPRINT" Version of the "HTC ONE" is going to be like all the rest of the carriers,,and i can't seem to really find anything,,For instance when the the "HTC EVO 4 G LTE" correct me if im wrong but i believe ,, the "one x" and the "one s" didn't come with external SD slots,,while the sprint version the EVO came with a SD slot,,and kickstand and camera shutter button,,,,,PLEASE!!! Tell me the sprint version is still gonna stand out from other carriers making "SPRINTS" version of the "ONE" superior.....PLEASE....lol........I'M a BIG fan of HTC since the "HERO" "EVO 4G" "3D" "EVO LTE" and have been lucky to have sprint have my Phone better then other carriers,, I'M afraid to say that if sprint jumps on the "SAMSUNG" band wagon with having just " 1" phone for all carriers the same,,I might jump to the SAMSUNG "JUST" for the fact of not having a external SD..
The external SD plays a huge roll with me,,for instance.....Some "
ROMS that i'v notice will not read external memory will synced to my pc ,where i have all my "ROMS" APK,,AND BACKUPS making me pull my sd and putting it in a sd card reader in order to do what i need to do ,,,ect......And also i dont think i would like the fact that my pictures are being saved "INTERNAL" what happens if my phone drops in the WATER or just get dropped and cracks or i get mad and throw it while on a drunken tour,,,my "PHOTOS are history,,,,,THAT WOULD SUCK!!!!!!!
IS THE "HTC ONE" with no SD card a DEAL BREAKER FOR YOU????
It might be. Depends on the alternative (gs4). If gs4 lives up to the hype then yes it's a deal breaker, if not the one is in the game. My upgrade is next month, if my wife let's me have hers

I really don't see this new HTC One as much of an upgrade. I haven't really looked at the specs, but I'm guessing that it's running the same specs as the EVO LTE, which means it'll probably have the same bugs. All you're really gaining is some nice front facing speakers and a slim package. Now there's no expandable SD slot, you're limited to 32GB and risk losing precious memories if the phone dies?!?! Ummmm... no thanks.

For me it is a deal breaker. I have about 28gb of music on my evo now. All my music was ripped at 320kb or FLAC and I am not changing that. I will run out of space without an sd slot. I don't want to go with a seperate mp3 player and phone just to store all my music. I will wait and see what the 64gb version cost if it ever comes to sprint.
I think it was a bad move to give exclusivity to ATT for the 64gb version, I think some people on other carriers will not switch because they are waiting for the 64gb version.

IM not to sure if the Chinese device dose,,,,,One thing that im wondering to is, SPRINT has not officially said that the "EVO" line is no more,,,,seems like they would of announced something to that nature,,,,,
there is no SD card on any of the models for the HTC one. anything and everything you see that may so happen to look like a slot is for the micro-sim card slot. which they are essentially making like the iphone style with a small slide out holder and you put the sim inside the tray and slide it in.
in regards to the sprint say that the evo line is still alive. i highly doubt that to be true since all the evo line phones were HTC phones. and HTC is moving to a unified platform starting with the ONE. so unless they switch the EVO line to a different brand of phone its pretty much dead.
they tried to save the EVO brand by rebranding the HTC one X as the EVO 4g LTE and look what happened there. so for all intensive purposes i consider the EVO line dead. but that doesnt mean a bad thing, i think its actually a good thing since they will now look to a unified platform for CDMA / GSM variants of phones. which means short of the baseband and GSM requirement software, all the roms should be cross carrier! just my 2 cents not sure if its accurate just hypothetical

What happened there? This phone has gotten pretty good support, better in some cases than One X itself. What exactly do you mean by "look what happened there"?
More of the decision to fragment the phone across carriers. we ended up having 3 different phones when one would have been better ( as they are doing now with the one ). I mean with one phone its easier to update and easier to maintain, fix and develop.
It would have been a better outcome I thinkip if they left the one x name and dropped their evo line naming all together

Please tell me you're trolling... You have to be trolling right now. Have you even read the specs for the device, or did you just pick it up and play with it for a few seconds and think it performed the same?
The EVO 4G LTE was a powerhouse, and the HTC One has a HUGE spec increase over it. Just because there isn't a MicroSD card slot, doesn't mean you can't use the phone. I swear, the phone's been out for like 3 days now and EVERYBODY has become an expert in mobile technology overnight to downplay the phone because it doesn't have an SD card slot. Deal with it. Store your music in the cloud. The phone was announced nearly 2 months ago, so if you're just now finding this out, you really should be paying more attention.
