As most of you know, today is the day when Sprint will officially unveil The HTC EVO One to the world but it looks like PocketNow has managed to obtain a real press image before the event.

There’s no certainty that the image is genuine, but given Pocketnow’s reputation for delivering accurate Sprint leaks in the past, we have a feeling that it is the real thing. We see the HTC EVO One pictured next to the AT&T HTC One X, and even the T-Mobile HTC One S makes it into the picture as well.

Interestingly, the picture also seems to suggest that the Sprint EVO One will be significantly different in design to the HTC One X. For example, the One X will feature elements of white around the edges of the device, whereas the EVO One will stick to a traditional grey color. The speaker next to the front-facing camera also differs between the two variants and in our opinion the EVO One definitely looks better in this aspect.

Hardware specs will obviously be the same between the two devices and unlike the International version which will feature a quad-core processor, the LTE radio featured in the EVO One means that the device will be restricted to a 1.5Ghz dual-core processor only.

We are obviously just hours away from an official reveal – are you excited? Given that this device is thought to contain a 2,650 mAh battery – we’d say that you should be pretty excited about this. It could well be the best Android device seen so far.

It’s a well known secret now that Sprint will soon launch their 4G LTE network to match those from Verizon and now AT&T which are now well established. In order for this to be a success they need a new flagship handset to gain the interest of consumers, and what better way for it to be Sprint’s version of arguably the best Android smartphone announced so far.

The HTC One X will arrive on AT&T in the coming months and judging by recent benchmark results, it’s going to be the fastest Android phone ever – easily eclipsing Verizon’s best handset in the Galaxy Nexus. Android Central has gained intel from an insider that April 4th will see the official unveiling of the EVO One for Sprint, and that a release will happen sometime during June.

Specs will largely be the same as the One X, and being LTE-based, it will only feature a 1.5Ghz dual-core processor unlike the International version which packs a Tegra 3 1.5Ghz quad-core+1 chip. This is by no means a hindrance though as the benchmark tests from the AT&T version proved that the Snapdragon S4 chip is still capable of competing with the best quad-core chips out there at the moment. Other impressive specs include an HD 4.7-inch AMOLED display, an 8 megapixel rear camera with 2MP front-camera and of course Android 4.0 with Sense 4.0 UI on top.

Like all recent HTC smartphones, this will be another Beats Audio device, but there’s no indication yet if this will have support for NFC to take advantage of features such as Android Beam and Google Wallet. The most pleasing aspect from our point of view is that the initial specs list also reveals a possible 2,650mAh battery, which is remarkable considering that the AT&T One X only features a 1,600mAh battery.

That is over 1,000mAh of extra juice to utilize, so that makes the Sprint version a lot better on paper from where we’re standing. Surely HTC wouldn’t alienate AT&T One X buyers in this way with the huge difference in battery capacity? At the moment though, these specs are still pending until the big reveal on April 4th. If you were previously dead set on picking up a HTC One X from AT&T, let us know if you’re now thinking about changing your mind for a 2,650mAh beast from Sprint instead.
