3d htc smartphone leaked

Yes, we were expecting HTC to do something after seeing LG , Samgsung and some manufacturers showing off their dual core handsets, and 3d smartphone too.
Now its time for HTC to show their innovation as usual, they are a bit late but not too late ofcourse.
Check this:Click here ;-)
The HTC pyramid/ evo 3d will have a qHD resolution 960*540 (4.3 inch) and it will be capable of recording 1080p videos and 720p 3d videos. isnt tat cool??
But unlike the competitors this phone has a 1.2Ghz dual core processor (compared to 1 Ghz processor dual cores) . So lets hope to see more !

man. this is crazy

man thats sweet

This will be one amazing device, 3D technologies are the future

Looks very gimmicky to me. I'd rather have decent docking capabilities than 3D functions that i'll never use.
At least for the people who buy it they'll be happy in the knowledge that Bloatware comes pre-installed for free!

Yup very cool but how much would you Really use it ? And, I bet battery life is not going to be good........... still neat idea

Yeah. Sprint just sent me an email about the evo 3d. Wuaaaoo
LIVE MY LIFE

Even minus the 3d the phone has some good specs. I might have to trade up my evo for this.

Yeah. They were in the 50's, too.
3D on a phone? Pointless. The screen is just too small and who the hell wants a headache from those silly glasses?

I'm getting really tired of all of this 3D madness. To me it is all just a bloody gimmick... I think this will end up like the Nintendo 3DS, useless. lol

Hey man its really good i can't wait give more details about that. Thanks.

I can't wait for a Dual core mobile,
bring on June I want a 3d Dual core

Sounds good so far, but the dual core is whats really important! cool

I'm not sold on 3D AT ALL. Sure, in the name of technological advancement, I can see it as a catalyst, but there are other pressing issues at hand.
High capacity battery
thinner design
power management
antenna technology
seamless interaction/transformation to other mobile devices (atrix dock for example)
etc etc

Evo 3D isn't the Pyramid..

It's so great!I wishes i have it

are you sure ud need glasses for this one .. sounds weird , recording 3d videos , only to be able to watch on your tv

It's auto-stereoscopic 3D, which doesn't need glasses. It's like the Nintendo 3DS

Any idea if there will be a GSM variant of this?

[Q] So whats so great about the EVO 3D

I am currently using an EVO 4g and love it. As time progressed, I have noticed that there is alot of 3D hype in almost all the electronics. I just want to know if the EVO 3D is even worth buying. I do want a more powerful EVO but im not sure if the 3D is just another 3D gimmick like the 3DS.

Well to answer your question the best of my ability, it is worth the hype.
I also have the 4G and I love it to death. The 3D specs are insane I will tell you that.
Here is the catch. I have talked to a District Manager at a Sprint store this afternoon actually (I had to get my evo fixed) He had tested it out personally and said that it was a great camera stat wise. It ran great and was really nice size and style.
Here is what I think though. The 3D is a beast, but the reviews I hear now a days are not that great because they say the 3D doesn't run that smooth or things along those lines. But the problem is when you flash your ROM all of this is irrelevant because the ROM would supercede the crappy stock crap they put on there.
So the answer to your question is the 3D is worth it... IF and only if your flash your ROM.

The 3D is on the bottom of the list for many. It's essentially a better Evo. 3D or not, that's not the big draw for most.

EVO 3D or Sensation ?

I've been offered to choose between EVO 3D and Sensation as a graduation gift
So please tell me which is better
My $0.02 ..
Pros of Sensation over EVO 3D
Looks awesome and sophisticated and more pocketable
Great dev support and a very wide variety of roms which is a very important feat for me
Shoots 1080p
Very few glitches compared to too many in the EVO 3D
Pros of EVO 3D
Brilliant 3D LCD and photography and that is truly awesome and new to the mobile world
More solid and rugged build quality
Camera shutter key
More ram (1Gb vs 768mb)
Better processor (MSM8660 vs MSM8260)
better front cam (1.3 vs VGA)
Bigger battery
In terms if Hardware there is nothing special about the Sensation compared to the EVO3D but the 8mp cam and the slimmer size
But when talking about the software
The EVO stock and modded roms are very glitchy and lots of weird stuff happens
Meanwhile the sensations roms are very stable and almost glitch free
I had my mind set for a sensation for a long while but when I saw EVO 3D in action I got blown away by the awesomeness of the 3D technology
And I'm very confused now ..
So please help me with your useful opinions
Thanks

same processor first off.
both have incredible dev support.
the 3d doesn't have as many problems as you are insinuating.
ask yourself which carrier you want to get stuck with?
I vote evo

If you want a 3D phone, go with the LG Thrill. It is quite brilliant.
Otherwise, I have played with the Sensation and EVO 3D and the Sensation is much more solid. Almost not competition. Plus, the EVO 3D totally sucks as far as the 3D aspect goes, so removing that makes it a good phone, but the Sensation is great. Everyone I know that has one loves it.

If 3D is a big deal to you, it's obvious.
But if I recall right, the Sensation has a better screen (or at least it's the same screen without a parallax barrier in front of it so it looks better.)
As long as the issue with the Sensation's touch screen dying after a few weeks has been fixed, I'd go for that.

In egypt we don't have that carrier thingy almost all phones sold here are unlocked
And about the problems there is a whole thread about issues with evo .. it is pinned in the general section
And it really freaks me out

No LG is only good in 3d while there phones generally suck in both quality and development and support
And I can't consider LG because there is no known retailer for them in egypt thus no warranty
The sensation is a great phone indeed and like I said I had my eyes set on it since the beginning but the 3d just made me confused
And btw the evo has a lot more than 3d to offer like the better front cam and more ram and I think it is more rugged and not prone to scratches like the sensation
Thanks for ur opinion

3D is a big deal but so is proper dev support and the wide variety of roms (owning an hd2 for so long made me a flashoholic)
I'm afraid of getting bored with the EVO while the sensation has weekly if not daily updates
I've kinda tried both I don't think you can feel there is a parallax barrier unless 3D is on
IDK but I haven't checked up closely
And I'm not worried about touch screen issues as it happened before in HD2 and got replaced with a much better one UNDER WARRANTY

G2X vs Thrill

I started this thread in order to ask you the g2x owners what do you really think about your phone. Because I'm looking to buy an android phone that I will use for the next ~3 years. The g2x and the thrill are both great phones (by looking at reviews) that have reasonable price (both prices are + - the same).
Thing that are important to me:
Camera
Screen
Gaming
So I'm asking you - should I get the G2X to serve me for the next ~3 years or should I get the Thrill
Thx

I have no first hand experience with the thrill but from seeing the specs they are about the same hardware wise set aside from the processors which G2x uses tegra2 and thrill uses omap4. Gaming wise nvidia is known for gaming so the gaming on G2x is superb. Screen wise they are virtually similar except for thrill is bigger by 3 cms. Camera is decent on the g2x and if rooted you can use the LG cam 3.0 which takes really nice crisp pics.
When I first got my G2x it was a nice phone very bland soft ware wisevbut once I rooted it this phone is something else customization is awesome (granted you know what your doing :/ ) its an amazing device I wont be switching devices for a while love me G2x and I'm sure you wont be disappointed with it if you decide to get one.

Thx for the answer.
Yes I really think that I'll enjoy the tegra2 also the camera thx for the LG cam 3.0 tip (didn't knew about this mod i googled it )
so thank you.
anyone else? someone who had experience with the thrill also

Help deciding!!!

ok so im pissing my iPhone 4 off as im over it...so im tossing up between the LG Optimus 3D or the Xperia play any suggestions who favours what? lemme know!!!

Optimus is better specs wise and has 3D which is a fun extra feature. Also its dual core which is better and will be getting android 4.0 this year so your sure to get newest operating system on it.
Specs say it has a fm radio on optimus but mine was not enabled however on the xda optimus 3D forum is an fm radio apk that installs and works perfectly on it if you get one and want radio included.
If you change from an iphone you will notice some big differences though. For example android does full multitasking whereas iphone doesn't so some people say you will get lag when doing several things at once.
Also when you install an app the phone becomes unresponsive for about half a second during installation process. Not sure why but all my phones have so I guess its an android thing.
I have a rooted optimus using go launchet and I like it but there are better phones out there for similar prices though experia play is not one of them and if you don't want the 3D aspect a better option might be something else dual core but with more ram as 512mb is enough now but may not be for much longer.
It does play high def 3D video perfectly though. Camera is good but the camera app isn't so if you get one try an app like camera zoom fx which will do a much better job.

both are decent phones, go to the store and play with both of them, get a feel and you'll be able to best choose. gsmarena has a good comparison site that will go over features

By the looks of it, your on at&t. If that is so, go with Galaxy S 2. Great phone and will get ics. If its tmobile, either HTC sensation or their galaxy s2 , which is still great.

If by Optimus 3D you mean the Thrill 4G on AT&T then don't count on ICS. The Optimus 3D has been confirmed to be getting ICS right around the time people will be wanting JellyBean. But, there is no mention of the Thrill getting it. The Thrill is still on Froyo, vs the O3D has the GB update. But, they are not similar enough for that to translate into a easy to install stable port.
Depends on your use desires. If you don't care about what version of android you are running, and just want a basic smart phone the Thrill is better than the Xperia play, spec wise. Plan on getting extra chargers or batteries. But if you want something for lots of game playing while the specs aren't the best those dedicated game controls come in handy. But, if you want the best and/or most future proof phone on AT&T today, get the Galaxy S II, the original - i777 - not the Skyrocket.

I'm in Australia just trying to find a fun feature rich phone for my budget and the 3D aspect sounds pretty alright but I can't find anywhere that says if the output to a 3D tv is any good the only reason I was thinking play was for the dedicated gaming buttons.

What don't you like about the iPhone? As much a I love my Android, I wouldn't mind taking the iPhone for a spin, if it wasn't carried on those two evil empires.

Check the Optimus 3D forums. I fairly certain it does output 3D content on a 3D TV over HDMI. But, I don't have a 3D screen, so I never tried with my Thrill. A 3D TV and the Optimus 3D use different types of 3D technology (no glasses required on the Optimus 3D), so the files are different.
The 3D games are fun, but I always have trouble playing games with on screen controls, they cover so much of the game on a 4.3" screen. But, with the controls of the Xperia its like having a PSP built into your phone. Much better gaming experience.

The iPhone runs on far more than 2 evil empires. It runs on three in the US alone.
The iPhone definately has its advantages. For my wife its the best thing. She doesn't want to worry certain things. It is more stable, and simpler to use. But everytime I use it, it feels laggy compared to my SGS II. Plus the screen is so small, I couldn't imagine playing serious games with on screen controls on a 3.5" screen. I did the iPhone thing, and it would take some serious face lift (it hasn't changed much from 4 years ago, and I don't mean just add more stolen ideas from android) to iOS and a 4"+ screen to get me to even consider it.

I know the O3D is rootable and can run custom ROMs. Not sure on Xperia. With both devices having unique hardware (3D and game controls) that does limit possibilities like Cyanogen. You can probably get CM7 on both of them, but it won't support the unique things about them.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)

The optimus outputs to tv fine at same resolution as source material but my tv is 2D so 3D content shows as side by side video.
You can root the phone as mine is rooted. As for roms there are a couple and apparently cm9 is coming to optimus as well. But I use stock gb rom so can't comment on other roms.

I use a replacement camera app for normal pics but for 3D ones the default app is not great if the subject is moving much like if your trying to take a pic of a cat or dog and they move as there is a camera delay although the 3D effect is good especially compared to evo 3D.
On stock lg launcher you may get lag though I never noticed any but I use go launcher now. Its a good phone but if your considering it you may want to check out the optimus 3D forum here at xda as there are lots of comments there and threads about good and bad points that will help you get a better idea if its for you or not.
Its a good phone and I wouldn't swap mine for anything but I love 3D. If you like 3D its a great choice but if 3D isn't important you can get faster phones with more ram for similar sort of price.
There is sometimes small delay as an app opens but no lag I have noticed and playing games in converted 3D is great

I think I'm sold on the Optimus 3D lol I thing my galaxy s only had about 256mb?

If you want a 3D phone get the optimus 3D or Evo 3D. If your not set on 3D get the s2 or galaxy nexus as it's very similar to the iPhone OS.

I agree except the evo bit as not only is optimus better for 3D but evo cannot play normal games in 3D and optimus takes better 3D pictures

Most Xperia's have locked bootloaders, so i would go for the O3D if I were you. Stock software may be sucky on the O3D, but no doubt it has a great developer base
