Android 2.2 Headed to HTC EVO 4G Soon

By Nick Mokey June 25, 2010

Don’t get too jealous over Motorola’s new Droid X just yet, EVO fans. Following Motorola’s announcement that its upcoming Android superphone would support Android 2.2 later this summer, Sprint has jumped into gear and assured EVO 4G owners that an update for their phones is coming “in the near future.”

Sprint made the announcement through its official Twitter stream on Friday, later following up with the unfortunate news that the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment will be left out in the cold, with no update to 2.2 planned. Other devices that launch with Android 2.1, Sprint claims, will all get the 2.2 update.

Android 2.2, also known as Froyo, will include a variety of substantial updates, including a new tips widget, dedicated shortcuts for the phone and apps launcher, as well as bolstered Exchange support, additional camera features, and improved performance.

A 2018 FCC report found that 98 percent of Americans in urban areas had access to a broadband connection, yet only 69 percent of rural Americans do. And the reason why is just what you'd expect: profitability.

Fixed broadband providers see rural America as a losing proposition, a drag on the bottom line. The infrastructure investment required is substantial, so today's modern broadband often ends outside of the far suburbs, leaving rural Americans with their smartphones as their only alternative.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in Titanium Gray in hand.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is one of the best Android smartphones on the market. But back in 2022, that honorable title went to the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Even though the latter came out over two years ago, it’s still an incredible mobile device that’s jam-packed with features, including an awesome camera system. How much better is the S24 Ultra though? Fortunately, we know a thing or two about both Samsung phones, so we thought we’d compare both models for you.

As you can probably guess, the S24 Ultra does come out on top in terms of the latest and greatest tech. When you start considering performance though, the S22 Ultra doesn’t really lag behind the newest Galaxy phone too much. Let’s break things down into multiple categories to get a better idea of the pros and cons.

The smart ring market has been dominated by the Oura Ring so far, but that is about to change with the upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy Ring. The ring was teased at Samsung's Unpacked event in January and then again at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February.

The Galaxy Ring is expected to come with various health sensors to help you track your physical fitness and daily activities — all with the backing of Samsung Health. It's one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year, and this is everything we know about it (so far).
