Android 4.0 Update Rolling Out for HTC Evo 3D

Sprint had announced that it will release Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) update for HTC Evo 3D and Evo Design 4G by early August. Keeping its promise, Sprint has started rolling out Android 4.0 update for HTC Evo 3D.

The new software version Android ICS 2.89.651.2 brings a number of features including home screen folders, new bar for commonly used applications, enhanced Android browser as well as Camera experience, face unlock, resizable widgets and add/remove panels.

According to a Phandroid report, the Evo 3D owners have reportedly started getting notifications to download the ICS update available via over-the-air (OTA). Unfortunately, the update did not bring HTC Sense 4.0 but the update devices are running Sense 3.6.

The HTC Evo 3D was launched with Android operating system v2.3 (Gingerbread). The device was unveiled in the UK in June last year. The device features a 4.3in 3D LCD capacitive touch screen. It packs a five megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3 megapixel secondary camera. Evo 3D is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8660 dual-core 1.2GHz CPU with Adreno 220 graphic unit. It runs with a Li-ion 1730mAh battery.
