Droid Incredible 4G LTE Smartphone by HTC for Verizon – Review and #Giveaway | @HTCUSA

A couple of years ago, HTC’s Droid Incredible launched with great reviews and high sales.  The 4G LTE version is the third model in the line of Droid Incredibles, and is a very well designed phone. The HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE is available on Verizon, and is a great family smartphone. The phone itself is sleek and modern, and features competitive hardware. A snappy 1.2 GHz dual core processor powers the phone. It features a 4 inch screen with a 960×540 resolution, and 8 GB of internal memory expandable with an SD card slot.

The phone features an 8 MP camera and takes full HD video, making it perfect for capturing special moments. A front facing camera for video calling makes staying in touch with long-distance family easy. Like most smartphones, a built-in GPS provides directions as well as allows location information to be added to online posts, a great feature for bloggers! Integrated Google Maps and Navigation apps give directions and make it easy to find new places to visit around town.

Version 4.0 of the popular Android operating system is included, and has great integration with Google products, including Gmail, Google’s popular email service. The native email app syncs with other popular email services to make most email accounts easily accessible on the phone. Google’s Play Store is another built-in app, and offers a massive marketplace of apps, books, music, magazines, and movies. Verizon loads several of their own applications on the device, including one that easily creates a mobile hotspot to provide Internet access to your laptop, if your data plan supports this feature.

Busy moms will love the Netflix app, which makes streaming movies and videos simple. This app is great for relaxing on the go, or even for a family movie night when connected to a television. Several readers, available in the form of Google’s Play Books, Amazon’s Kindle, or Barnes and Noble’s Nook, allow you to read your favorite novels right on the phone, and connect to popular e-reader platforms if you already have an account with one of these companies.

Facebook is a popular app for teenagers. The Facebook app for Android is free and has most of the social features offered by the full site. The Fandango app is another popular one for teens who love going to movies with friends, and makes it easy to find movie times and other information about popular releases.

Busy moms and teenagers will appreciate receiving this phone as a Christmas gift! It’s slightly smaller than many other similar phones, making it extra portable. It still has all of the features, and is a great way to get entertainment on the go, from books to movies, for when you get a spare moment to relax. The Droid Incredible 4G LTE by HTC has all of the social features a teenager or busy parent could possibly want to stay connected to their friends and family at a reasonable price, and it can even be helpful for homework.

Both adults and kids will love the Droid Incredible 4G LTE.  I know I and my kids do!
