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?

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

I forgot to mention the speaker phone on the ns4g has an awful echo and the e3d does not.

Nexus S 4g
Nexus S, unless you want the 3d cameras... That's the only deal buster

Evo 3D
Evo 3D is a great phone

I say you get whichever one you want first, then you have 30 days to exchange it if you're not happy....best way to know what YOU will like is to try it.

i'm a big htc fan. i miss the hero's reception, LED light, and loud speaker
i really like the screen and the form factor of the nexus though - no regrets
battery life seems less bad with my samsung phone

Which one should I buy: Galaxy R or Optimus 3D?

Hi guys, I'm new to here.
I don't know which one I should buy: Optimus 3D or Galaxy R?
Some of my friends says that Optimus 3D uses TI OMAP4430, its faster. But in YouTube videos, Optimus 3D suck in internet using. Galaxy R is not fast as Optimus 3D but it plays 3 videos in same time perfectly.
I don't care about the 3D option of Optimus. I just want to have a phone which can give me good sound, fast internet using and watching videos, great screen to play games and enough battery time for me.
In here...
Galaxy R is 485 euros/630 dolars.
Optimus 3D is 525 euros/685 dolars.
Thanks.

Get a Galaxy S2. It's amazing. If you want a cheap dual core droid get the Galaxy R.

Yea, LG....???
GS2 or I guess, R, though I'd just fork over a little bit more and get S2.

Or try lg optimus black, best screen ive seen
huh?

I'm either that old-fashioned or LG actually stepped their game since last tech-decade (which isn't an actual decade, but you know what i mean)?

Get a Nexus Phone. It's the best android phone!

I think you can also get a HTC Sensation for the price of the Optimus 3D. If it is avaiable in your country i'd totally recommend the Sensation. If you can spend a little more get a GS2. I bought mine for 550 dollars and it is totally worth it

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

Optimus 3d or Xperia play?

Hey guys,so ive asked this same question in the Xperia PLAY section so i wanted to get some opinions here..
A friend of mine wants to swap his LG Optimus 3d with my Xperia PLAY.. Ive had the PLAY for a year and now im Addicted to ANDROID! Gamepad isnt everything although i do love gaming.. So is it a good deal to take the optimus 3d?

If it was me I would change, you just can't beat the 3d. However Experia is very fast and better responsive/feels and is supported much better.

Optimus has great 3D and handles gaming well but can get laggy at times. An update to ics later this year should solve the lag though as then can have apps free up ram better than they do now.

how come the Xperia PLAY is more faster n responsive when it has a 1GHz single core compared to the O3D 1GHz dual core?

its LG's Framework

all wrong here.
i got both the phones.
Xperia:
the xperia support is also as bad. and the phone laggs as hell. and it will not get ics.
it really becomes slow when you install some stuff on it.
Games will lagg after some time. and the battery drains in 1 hour when using games.
Optimus 3D
my O3D never laggs with thiaiz 2.8 on it.
the 3d feature is nice but i only use it to show to other people.
It has i really nice battery life on v21e(63% after 1 day of minor use)
The 3D uses much battery. but i almost never use it.
I should say get the optimus. It will be more futureproof.
or just sell the xperia and get something like a HTC Sensation XE or one X or Galaxy S 2 or 3.
Those phones are even better.
Greetings, Paul

LG Optimus 3D P920 or HTC Desire HD

Hi to all.
I have a simple question.
What's better for buying LG Optimus 3D P920 or HTC Desire HD ?
HD is little cheaper, but i will get more money for LG, and that's max. No SGS 2, to expensive...
I know that hardware is better on LG..

3D has 5mp camera, HD has 8mp
3D has 3D capabilities, HD does not
3D has less development, HD has more

As i know LG has better GPU, better processor, better display... so hardware is almost equal to Sensation, who cost more.
But HTC has better developer support and more RAM. And i'm fan of HTC.
Searching and comparing benchmark results od those 2 phone, i started to like LG ...
What about bug's on LG, is there any? How will phone react for bour a year or 2?

LG is very durable (dropped mine a few times from head height onto concrete and not even a scratch) and 3D is fun.
Plays most high end games well, but half gig ram can be restricting as you sometimes end up with low ram and lg support for updates is rubbish.
You can tweak settings to improve things and upcoming ics update should help but hardware wise the lg is great just not on the software side.

I think that LG 3D is 1 class above Desire HD. Based on benchmark
I'm just scared of some things that i readed on some forums. I think about gost calls, overheating battery, random restarting and turning off, sim network faliure and stuff like that. Hope that i won't be that luck to buy some model with those bugs.
So i need advice of people that use LG 3d or used both

I have v21a stock lg version and never had ghost calls, overheating battery, random reboots, etcetera.
I do find my carrier signal stops completely sometimes for a few seconds but as a friends also does, on different phone but same network, it seems to be the carrier (I live in an area not great for reception anyway).
Battery life was rubbish but I bought a bigger battery for seven pound on amazon and can easily use my phone non stop most of the day with wifi and gps etc, play games etc and usually just charge it every few days now and I use my phone a lot

Does LG 3D has, if stock ROM is still buggy, some custom ROM, that work perfect?

A lot of people say thiaz rom is brilliant, it is available feom the optimus 3D forum here at xda but as I'm on contract I use stock rom.
