After playing with the giant beast, they dismantled it completely and reviewed in depth to unravel certain interesting facts. Let’s have quick snapshot about the internal components of EVO 4G underneath its beautiful 4.3-inch touchscreen. The HTC EVO 4G was found to be easy to teardown or disassemble, making servicing the phone darn simple.
Highlights of EVO 4G Internal Components:
- In case the glass of Evo 4g gets a crack, then don’t you worry. Removing the glass is very easy.
- Changing or replacing the Evo’s battery is a quick thingy. Just remove the back cover and unplug the battery. So simple!

- There’s a liquid damage indicator on the battery’s top edge. Generally, cell Phone’s warranty does not cover water damage. If this sticker gets wet it permanently changes color (from white to pink or red) and your phone is marked for water damage and eventually voiding your warranty claims.
- The Evo’s internal frame consists of stand, antennas, LED flashes, and speaker
- The dual LED flash assembly consists of no more than two LEDs soldered to a small interconnect board.
- The forward facing 1.3 Megapixel camera lifts right out of its enclosure in the top portion of the Evo 4G along with behemoth 8-megapixel camera sensor.
