[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.

I voted LG, the HTC looks like it's not coming out in the UK
Also, on the 1Gb vs 512Mb debate, Sense 3.0 takes up a HUGE amount of RAM, so much so that the HTC Sensation (768Mb RAM) occasionally stutters and isn't as fast as the Evo 3D

Have you tried HTC EVO 3D yet, to compare both phones, if yes, which you think is better and why?

^
nope, only manage to see some review units.
3D wise, the optimus 3D wins hands down.
the 3D on the evo 3D looks pale and awkward and it is difficult to find the right spot for the evo 3D's 3D viewing.
i haven't tested evo 3d's software and overall performance so i can't really comment on that.

LG has a better 3D UI plus comes with 3D Games
Does the HTC come with Games etc?
But I voted 3310 snakes FTW

I ony heard of one preloaded movie,which would be the green hornet. Haven't heard of any preloaded 3d games. Could be wrong though.

Green Hornet film and a Spider-man 3D game

I´ve just read some first impressions from the EVO guys and almost everyone is impressed by the 3D Features of their phone so far. Even those that had a rather negative attitude towards that aspect in advance.
Given that the O3D got better ratings (regarding 3D) in every comparison (but one) this is quite exciting don't you think?
To answer the poll:
I obviously chose the O3D. I just like the Omap Chipset better and i really like the direction LG is heading at the moment. Their latest handsets are of some really high quality and i'd like to support them. The O3D is a good looking device and i really hope that it gets some serious attention here at XDA.

Come on LG. Hurry up. Release this bad boy already!!!!! Want some custom roms on it!!! I know xda devs can make this phone an even better device.

I must say I agree with you that LG seems to be going in the right direction, however I don't know if they're really there yet. The fact that the O3D comes with Froyo (no idea when Gingerbread will actually arrive) and some experiences with the 2X disappoint me. In addition, the Evo 3D seems to be capable of doing portrait 3D as well which is a plus over the O3D.
I'll just wait if and when the Evo 3D gets released here in Europe and check here regularly to see the experiences of a number of users.

LG O3D looks like the better choice because it has better specs, but if HTC Evo3D is cheaper, I may choose that instead.
The few extra pixels of the Evo3D may compensate for the crappier 3D it may have...

Well, it would be foolish not to see that there still is much room for improvement on LG side to get accepted on a broader base.
Public relations and customer support is still bad and they almost seem to stumble while trying to catch up. Of course i heard of the reboot problems of the 2X and the fact that the O3D will ship with Froyo is irritating to say the least. But these points are still no dealbreakers for me. This baby is open for developers and is a very good foundation for future updates.
And let´s not forget that the EVO3D seems not to be the heavyweight contender that has been expected by a lot of people. After reading all the available reviews i feel that it has been rushed. While still being a top notch handset, it doesn't seem to bring the expected htc-quality to the table.
It´s kinda sad and also surprising to see that a lot of the HTC fellas seem to be too stubborn to acknowledge what the O3D has to offer. It´s an LG with 512MB so it has to suck...
I really hope to see some honest comparisons by some of the major websites soon!
Btw, if they somehow managed to accomplish 3D in both orientations, which i still believe is mostly imagination by the few who say it works - no offense, it also seems to go at the cost of overall 3D quality.

from phonedog
Though it's the first 3D smartphone to come to a US carrier, I've been working with the unlocked LG Optimus 3D, and I have to say, EVO's 3D abilities aren't as strong. The colors seem to be a bit washed out, and the 3D effect is more brash than the Optimus 3D. After viewing it for five or ten minutes, I had a headache
p.s. LG italy told me that O3D and 2X developer teams are different.

Evo 3D or nexus S

What phone should I get. I have had bad luck with samsung and that's what's holding me back on nexus. The Evo 3D with 2 cores looks nice. So I will upgrade from my transform Friday what do you think?
Sent from my Life-Line using TapaTalk.

I picked up an Evo 3D last Friday, and it's a great phone. The dual core processor is way snappy... no noticeable lag when doing anything. However, if rooting your phone is important, then you may want to hold off. HTC said they'd unlock the bootloader, but they're currently shipping the 3D's with a locked version. Furthermore, they've yet to say anything since launch regarding the issue. I rarely used programs that required root, so I can deal for the time being. If rooting and/or custom roms aren't anything you care about, then get the 3D today!

I've heard the Evo 3D is super slick, though I still think 3D is a bit gimmicky at this point. Then again, I have no problems buying into gimmicks, lol. I would personally go with the Evo.

I would go for the EVO 3D, specced with cool stuff

Bought the Nexus S 4g on the 6/4 for my gf. I liked the ns4g, its sleak and very lightweight. The specs are good and its a snappy phone that ran every app I tried. Of course there isnt a bunch of pre loaded garbage in them. We went to Vegas earlier in the month and it had a problem with internet connectivity, when my evo shift would have no issue at all.
Then I looked at the specs of the 3d and figured that the hardware in the e3d would be on the cutting edge for a good time to come(whereas the ns4g seems to be at the end of its cycle with a single core processor), so we went and swapped it out yesterday. The e3d is definitley cool, loaded with a ton of bloat, but its fast. The 3d pictures are very cool, maybe gimmicky, but nonetheless very fing cool.
I cant wait to see how fast it can be once its cranked up a little.

Nexus has no memory card slot.... (Dont take away what we already have)....
That is a deal breaker for me-- and the Evo is snazzier looking (and you know the Evo Dev community will have it rooted and rommed in a fing week...

Evo 3D is way better than Nexus S in many ways. However, Nexus S is one of those few phones with vanilla and it's the most likely phone to get the next update first.
Like others said, 3D is a gimmik but hey, it's cool still. If you can afford it, I'd advise you to wait a bit since 3D and dual core phones have *just* started coming out.

I picked up the 3d last week. Absolutely love it. I wasn't getting it for the 3d, thought it was gimicky also, but it actually is pretty cool. Fits perfect in the hand also

[Q] sensation or evo 3d???

got myself the sensation on saturday after 18 months of owning my hd2. Been waiting for this phone for a long time to come out on my carrier (02) as i dont think any other phone has been anywhere near the hd2 untill this BUT.. i have just found out that the evo 3d will be coming out in the uk in july and to top it off my sensation has just got dust under the screen. im taking my phone back tommorrow and would like your opinions on what i should do next..... renew the sensation or wait for the evo to hit 02 in july? all opinions would be appreciated
Thanks

They are basically the same phone ,aside from 3d and a little more ram on Evo, I think the 3d thing is kinda gimmicky, really its a toss up ,both have s-on so its in same boat as sensation

EVO 3D is a gimmick phone, how often will you use 3D? My brother has one and I played with his over the weekend and it's simply not my taste. The Sensation is a much sexier device as far as appearance goes, we all know that they have the same specs other than the camera. I say stick with the Sensation.

I have both devices sitting on fornt of me now. My 3VO will be going back tomorrow, but not due to the phone. Here in Tampa...Sprint is completely garbage. I cannot even check for facebook updates in under 5 minutes, and i get a buffer for pandora. Now device vs device, the 3VO is faster and more fluid, the OS is coded much better than the sensation. Once root is fully available for both devices i think it will be a toss up. 3VO 3D is not gimmiky at all to me, its pretty freaking awesome. If i could have the 3VO on any network but Sprint....i would have it.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

really hard to say since it's your device...
if you like the whole 3D thing then there you go.
Sensation in the other hand is better looking device, 8mp camera that is capable of recording vids in 1080p, and reportedly have better battery life(according to Phonedog).
768 or 1gb... android OS, I don't think it would matter much. look at G2x.
only reason I think the Evo feels snappier is perhaps HTC optimized the Sense 3.0 abit... plus less bloatware.
both nice device though.

This is about as unbiased as a comparison that I've seen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msrUAKFL3ZU&feature=youtube_gdata_player....
Here's a good unbiased comparison

Sorry for the double post

The 1 GB of ram is definitely used, my sensation runs down on RAM quite frequently. I notice they did a better job of tweaking min free and such on the 3d, and less of it's RAM is being held for system processes.

I played with one at a Best Buy this morning. I had my Sensation with me to compare. They are a lot alike . I must say the Evo3D does seem snappier or quicker and perhaps a little smoother. However I was not impressed with the 3D aspects of the phone. They both felt identical in my hands. I will stay with the Sensation, at least for a few more days until nearing the end of my remorse period.

[Q] Sensation or EVO 3D?

Hello... I need your Sincere answer...
which set should I go for, should i buy HTC sensation or wait for EVO 3D???
... will be thankfull

Take away the gimmick of 3D and there's not much in it - bit more RAM though

Since Evo 3D is coming out on Rogers pretty soon, I would suggest waiting until you can man-handle a live demo unit at the store and see if you like the overall quality of the phone. On the other hand, the sensation from bell isn't gonna go anywhere any time soon so if you're patient, I would suggest playing with both at the store and see which one you like best. In terms of spec both are almost alike. Build materials, however, are contrasted by aluminum vs rubber/plastic.
imo:
Do you care for 3D camera+screen on a phone?
if not I would go for the sensation.
**Although I am not sure about this but I heard from various sources phones from Rogers will work on Fido without sim-unlock? so you could potentially save on the cost of unlocking though they are pretty cheap to unlock ($15+/-)

if you are into tweaking, flashing, etc, go for the Evo 3D
=> Most things we can use sa far for the Sensation (temp root, overclock) came first for the evo 3d and were ported, or already compatible, for the Sensation.
Look at the forum here, there's less development here as on Evo3d, even if both have a locked bootloader. Devs and chefs are not on the Sensation...........
If you are not into big tweaking, or can wait for a few days/week until everything is ported for the Sensation after the Evo3d, and if browsing the internet and photos/video are important for you, go on the Sensation: qHD screen, great 8MP photos and full HD video.

Id say go for the sensation. The 3d gimmick in my opinion is not worth the extra cash, especially on small screens. The battery life already sucks with dual core so imagine how bad battery life would be on a 3d screen.

I would go for the Sensation. You're not gaining much by waiting for the EVO 3D. You won't regret getting the Sensation at all.

spec wise there pretty similar minus ram increase in Evo 3D.
Go check one out look at some reviews and such, its whether or not you want 3D on your phone or what carrier offers you the better monthly price.
3D on a phone in this day n age is kind of dumb. Rapes battery and viewing range is severely limited, and unless you have a 3D TV, 3D computer monitor, etc. you wont really benefit from it greatly. Cool idea tho..

Evo 3d, easy.

My sister has a Evo 3D and to be honest the Sensation blows it away build quality wise. It just feels that much more premium in your hands and is nice and thin. Sensation also records in 1080P and Evo 3D only records in 720P. The Evo does have more RAM but I have not noticed any slowdown on my Sensation whatsoever so I'm a happy camper. Plus once we get S-Off...custom ROMs will make this thing fly even faster

perfectly right
so differences are:
Sensation: qHD screen (only WVGA for Evo3D. A real plus for web browsing!), 1080p recording (in .3gp, this format sucks), better design. Can heat up, but less than the Evo3D it seems.
Evo3D: 3D display (that will kill battery, but you don't have to always use it!) more RAM, more devs working on it (every tweak and hack of the Sensation was made for the Evo first), less "death grip" for wifi and bluetooth than the Sensation
Ram doesn't really matter, as said above, it would matter if Sensation could get low ram, but it doesn't happen.
I have a Sensation, but would go for an Evo 3D I guess (or a galaxyS2...)

Me personally I like the Sensation due to it being a GSM phone, I can use it on any GSM network around this planet. Unlike the EVO 3d, you are stuck on CDMA network that the phone is intended and designed for, i'e Sprint only?. Just my two cents, hope.it helps.

Why are you lying to make the sensation seem like the better device. They both have qHD displays. I get 12hours of battey life. Evo 3D has a bigger battery than sensation. RAM dose matter a lot if your computer had 312MB of RAM and u added 200MB and made it 512MB you would see a nice difference. And yes the Evo 3D has over 200MB more RAM. Just putting the truth in the air to kill the lies.
