The HTC EVO 3D is an Android smartphone developed by HTC, released exclusively in the United States through Sprint, and was re-released as a pre-paid smartphone by Virgin Mobile in May 2012 as the HTC Evo V 4G. A variation of Sprint's flagship HTC Evo 4G, the device is distinguished by its pair of 5 MP rear cameras, which can be used to take photos or video in stereographic 3D, which can be viewed on its autostereoscopic display without the need for 3D glasses. Several GSM variants are also available in Canada, Europe and Asia.

History

Sprint announced the HTC EVO 3D during CTIA in Orlando, Florida, in March 2011.

In May 2011, it was confirmed that the Evo 3D is locked down with a cryptographically signed bootloader, recovery, and kernel image. HTC released a statement via Facebook, saying that they are reviewing their bootloader policy. On May 26, 2011 Peter Chou, the CEO of HTC, announced on Facebook that "we will no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices." [5] Since this statement, a bootloader unlock method for this device, as well as other locked devices, have become available via HTC's developer website, HTCDev.com. The radio and kernel can not be changed using the unlock method provided by HTC. While there is at least one method to more completely unlock the phone, it's not supported by HTC.

In June 2011[6], Sprint officially announced that the HTC Evo 3D would be available on June 24, 2011.

On May 31, 2012, shortly after the release of its successor, the HTC Evo 4G LTE, Virgin Mobile re-released the Evo 3D as the HTC Evo V 4G as its first 4G compatible phone. The Evo V 4G is identical to the Evo 3D, except it ships with Android 4.0.3 and the Sense 3.6 interface installed instead of Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3, an update which also became available for the Evo 3D.[7]
