Wanna upgrade your old handset to a new 4G-enabled Android smartphone for taking advantage of Sprint’s speedy 4G network? In my opinion, one of the most notable upcoming 4G-enabled Android-powered mobile phones are the highly-anticipated HTC EVO 3D that allows users to enjoy glasses-free 3D experience while on-the go, and the newly-announced Motorola PHOTON 4G that offers international roaming capability. If you have the same thought with me, and wanna know more details of both handsets to help in consideration of buying either one of them, then the following comparative table of HTC EVO 3D vs Motorola PHOTON 4G might be a quick reference you looking for.
