[Q] Evo 3D, Galaxy Nexus, or MyTouch 4G Slide? - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
Which one I should buy? and why? I can't decide,
HTC Evo 3D http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_evo_3d-3901.php
HTC MyTouch 4G Slide http://www.gsmarena.com/t_mobile_mytouch_4g_slide-4018.php
Samsung Galaxy Nexus http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus-4219.php

Guys please, 107 views and not even one answer, or vote

Any one? please

In order of what I would choose:
Galaxy Nexus, Evo 3D, MyTouch 4G Slide.

What do you want?
If you NEED a physical keyboard, go with the Slide. Other than that, easily the GNex - 3d on a phone is more of a gimmick than anything else.

Thank you so much Mephikun, for your replay my friend
Why do you think the nexus better than other devices?

Thank you so much for your replay, and yes I was kinda thinking the same about the Evo 3D, I mean even the display resolution not that much comparing it with GNex, I really love the physical keyboard but in the same time GNex kinda got better specifications than mytouch 4g slide

Personally I like the Galaxy Nexus, as it will be first for the JellyBean update.

Because it is most likely going to get the next major Android update, possibly even the one after that, officially.
The others will not, most likely.

I really don't know, evo 3d or the galaxy nexus now, sooooooooo confused

Well if cost is a factor for you, the HTC EVO 3D is available used for pretty cheap, then you dont have to resign any contracts and can wait it out to see if something better come along in the next few months, then upgrade to that and sell the 3D.
Check out cowboom for the 3D used.

in both cases I'm buying the phone unlocked, and with no contract, both in the same price 400$ from ebay, I just really don't know what to do

Any more suggestions please?

I would really love some more opinions please

Is the Sensation Worth Getting?

I have the HD2 right now. Is the Sensation worth the upgrade? There is obviously not the HUGE dev community behind the Sensation in comparison to the HD2...
Easily worth the upgrade due to the much, much newer architecture. Even locked it has *AWESOME* written all over it.
There's no development on Sensation right now, as the means to unlock it has yet to be released.
This is (along with the Evo3D) HTC's new flagship, so it's bound to have proper development in time.

I would suggest you go for the Samsung galaxy s2 unless you are a die hard htc fan
I had a hero and HD7 and thought I d jump ship and see how samsung phones work
Quiet happy , won't say its all goody but you can easily update to new firmware without the need to root via a software called ODIN
Already on 2.3.4 and never been happy..
Also I think the camera is slightly better than sensation
Just my thoughts
If possible go in a store and play with them both, you may get a bit of any idea of which one you fall in love with

TMobile USA doesn't have the S II yet unfortunately, and to be honest, I'm not sure if they're even getting it. I could get it off NewEgg or eBay but from what I hear, all I will get is Edge, not 4G.
In a few months this phone will have a lot of roms. No need to change.

GSII isn't worth it without 3G. If it were on T-Mobile then I would say get it instead of the Sensation. I know I will hang up my Sensation if it ever gets to T-Mobile.

I don't have HD2 or owned one, so i don't know if it's big upgrade. Maybe someone else can answer that. But the Sensation and the EVO3D are the 2 new flagships of HTC. So there is a good chance there will be a huge community, and a lot of roms and other stuff for both of them.

Im not sure about the GSII but everyone knows about the Hercules. It might have a 4,5 inch display and a different chipset but nobody is really sure yet. Its actually rumored to have the Adreno 220 which will probably be a lot faster than it is on the Sensation due to the ****ty HTC drivers and not having a UI with useless eye candy.

Maybe so, but it all depends on how u use the phone. If all the apps and games are still running good, why upgrade. That would be my thought. It's all personal.
But if you want to upgrade, because you want to download stuff a second faster or load apps/games a second faster, or whatever reason, this phone will be a nice upgrade.

Yeah, I mean the HD2 supports 7 meg HSDPA, but I usually get about 2...The thing that attracts me, is the better camera, and dual core CPU.
I was using an Android flashed HD2 up until I dropped it last week and shattered the screen. I had ordered a new digitizer from fleabay but when it arrived it was damaged so I got impatient and ordered a new Sensation instead. I just got it today and, even though I was more than happy with the HD2 and had no plans to upgrade, I have to say I'm very glad I did. The HD2 was is a very awesome phone but after using the Sensation it now feels like it was v rough around the edges. The Sensation is silky smooth - and that's while we're still running on stock!!
I say upgrade. You'll not regret it.

Thanks for the input. And with TMobile planning to upgrade nationwide network speeds, maybe it's not a bad idea. Part of me still wants to wait to see if I can get the Galaxy S II...
Decisions decisions....
I've gone from HD2 > Sensation. Got the HD2 as soon as it came out.
The Sensation is fantastic...a huge leap from the HD2...obviously much faster/slicker...much nice to look at and hold, screen is so much better than the HD2 it's not funny.
Development will come soon

is the Sensation the best device(in the US)?

Just wonder I mean theoretically is the HTC Sensation the BEST device around right now? and I know I own one and I'm sure others will comment on this. Just wondering though. Is it the phone to beat?

That's a tough question to ask as everyone's tied to a carrier in the U.S. Someone on Sprint could get almost the same experience with the E3D. The Holiday's coming to AT&T later this year. So being "best" is all relative unless people are willing to switch carriers just to get the Sensation. Maybe a better question would be "is it the best phone on T-Mobile U.S.?" That should get you some spirited debate.

GSII's not out in the US. At the moment, the Sensation is arguably the best device out in the US. The Evo has more RAM, but it also lacks some features the Sensation has.

Such as?
I actually vote for the Evo 3D. It lagged a lot less for me, and the screen looked a LOT nicer. Not to mention the 3D features which honestly, even though I was skeptical, are pretty damn cool.
Alas, I had to drop Sprint just as soon as I tried it, because T-Mobile service is WAY better than Sprint around here. I love the Sensation, but I think I was happier with the Evo.

Well here's the differences between both. I've said it many times, it's up everyone to decide which is more important.
Sensation
1080p video recording
8 MP camera (megapixels don't really matter, but it is a better camera regardless)
Aluminum unibody
Thinner
World phone (small one)
EVO 3D
More RAM
Better FFC (1.3 MP as opposed to VGA on Sensation)
3D (could be a plus for some, minus for others)
To be 100% honest and unbiased The Evo 3D and The Sensation 4G are tied since they are same device Evo 3D has more ram but ****ty cameras The sensation 4G has much better camera 1 8mp versus 2 5mp

People keep using that resolution argument, but it seems that the mytouch 4g slide and sensation get the same scores despite the resolution disparity, so I I'm inclined to believe that res has less to do with the scores than what is believed

Like what? Sensation has a better camera but we got more RAM and the biggest feature to have 3D. And since they are running the exact same ROM the only thing you can do that we can't is wifi calling and I'm sure if I put my mind to it I could get a work around for the other devices. So what other features?

Listed it above. I don't know if 3D is a "big" feature, though. It's more of a gimmick than anything IMO.
Let me clarify something now: I never once said the Sensation was hands down the best phone out right now. I said it was arguably the best and it has some features the EVO 3D doesn't, which is true. But the EVO 3D also has features the Sensation doesn't have. And I'll restate this again: it's up to the buyer to decide which features are more important to them.

The Sensation has better a better camera, better build materials, WiFi calling will not work with any other carrier in the US, faster 3G/4G data speeds, NO 3D.. the Sensation 4G is just better with no gimmicks. The Evo 3D is different with more draw backs.

I been developing far to long to not know my abilities. Like i said I can make WiFi calling work for Sprint and at&t now verizon I might not be able to do. But it is possible. Hey let's say we put up a little wager on it? Side note 3D is way more this a gimmick ask any one with the device and better build materials? You serously did not just say that. But I'm a good Dev and I'm not here to use knowledge to embarrass you. Though you beat me to it.

As far as the Wifi Calling it would be a challenge but it's possible. 3D is cool but a gimmick. The Evo does have a nice build but the Sensation has it beat. The capacitive buttons on the Evo are so ****ing ugly and the phone just doesn't feel as nice in the hand. Still would prefer the Evo3D to just about any device. You're splitting hairs. HTC just knows how to make a sexy phone.

Dude...shut the **** up!!!
The OP clearly asked if the Sensation is the best device currently available in the US. And you have clearly attempted to hijack and troll this thread, by waving around your supposed prowess as a "developer." I (and possibly many others) don't give a **** if you can get Wifi calling to work on the Evo 3D, as that does not answer the OP's question.
Now back to the question at hand. In my opinion the Sensation is the best phone available at the moment. However, if I was locked into Sprint I would consider owning the Evo 3D.
ITs not just about the features, it's also the buod quality of the sensation is second to none of any smartphone right now. Also tmobile 4g is pretty good, wifi calling, I heard that sprint 3G suck so bad it's not even funny. Some people may say we can just compare the phones and specs, but a phone as also as good as his network. For example i was thinking of buying an unlocked galaxy s 2 from amazon but what is the point if I only get an edge signal? Na mean?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus or HTC Sensation

Hey guys, every one knows about the Nexus now. It looks AMAZING. But it's still plastic. What do you think about it? Should I stick with my Sensation or get the Nexus in exchange by November? Both are 1.2Ghz dual core monsters, the Nexus has the A9 processor and 1GB RAM. The best part is the Super Amoled 720p display - 4.65" - Just amazing. What do you say?
Oh and the worst part is the camera. 5 megapixel? What the..? But anyway, the sensor matters more.
What do you say guys?

If it was an easy swap, id do it. Im not going to swap though as it would be costly and I dont see the nexus being light years ahead of the sensation either.
The sensation will wind up doing the same stuff as the nexus once it also gets ICS.
If I were out looking for a new phone, Id choose the nexus...

Hmm. How much would the Nexus cost? UNLOCKED.

No idea, but id plan on at least $599.99. Thats far more than youll get for your Sensation.
I dont see anything groundbreaking that the nexus does over the sensation, ICS aside. No reason to jump ship for this phone. Ill stick with my Sensation and wait for next upgrade's phones, which should be groundbreaking by then.
Matt
Damn! Okay, it's a hard decision to make
If I didn't own a Sensation already, I would get the Nexus, Pure Google! I don't regret getting the sensation though.

Loving the nexus, and so very much want the dev support of the nexus, love that everything first thing and how quick it moves because all the devs on it.
But i'm torn, sensation is awesome but slower on devs. I have a hard decision to make very soon. My point being, I can't decide myself, so I can't help you decide lol

I'm sticking with my sensation!
The single most pushing reason to make the jump would be the 4.65" 720p AMOLED display (zomg!!! ). U just can't beat that.
The rest... meh. I guess with ICS and proper dualcore support, the Sensation will finally take off speed wise. Or at least I hope it.
If I was you, I'd swap it for the new Galaxy Nexus. You will always have the newest Android distirbutions at your disposal

Yea...So it boils down to SELLING your Sensation and paying another $300 or so to get a screen with better resolution...For what though?
Just months ago qHD was all the rage. I still dont see whats so special about it???
I doubt a 720p screen will be worth the trouble and extra $$$. Now, if you need to upgrade and can get a deal on the Prime, then hell yea.

Hmmm.. I agree
I will be switching to the Galaxy Nexus as soon as possible. Not because I think it is far superior to the Sensation but for the simple fact that I am on my 3rd Sensation now that is ridden with dust under the screen. It is such a stupid problem to have with such an expensive phone.
The fact that so many of us have the issue and HTC refuses to admit that it's a known problem has really made me ready to jump ship from HTC without any plan on coming back.

I just like the look of the galaxy nexus, sure the 720p resolution screen is going to be nice but I want the galaxy nexus for the additional hardware like nfc and barometer sensor (because I'm a tech junkie like that). I'm alright with having a dual core processor because Android will not be optimized for quad core for a while. Plus android 4.0 ice cream sandwich has hardware acceleration. I am probably going to keep my sensation though, haven't had any problems with my sensation yet.

Easy answer if you're looking for a new phone right now from an older phone. It would be ridiculous to get a new Sensation right now; it is becoming so outclassed in so many ways. If you already have a new Sensation, it depends on if you think the $ will be worth it. I personally have a good amount of dough saved up and will seriously consider the Nexus Prime because it is an upgrade in every way over the Sensation (the whole 5MP thing is a non-issue because that is not what determines the quality of pictures; also I don't give a crap about plastic construction because living with the Sensation has made me value a phone that is fast and performs well over a phone with an aluminum build).

Time to upgrade...

Well I just realized that it's time for me to upgrade the phone. Will likely give this one to the gf who's moving over to AT&T. So if there's one phone on AT&T I should upgrade to which one would you guys and gals suggest?

I was considering it, but does it make sense to get it if I already have an 7-inch HTC Flyer?

Personally, see no reason you should spend your upgrade at this time.
Ask yourself;
Is the phone still running Android? Or is the upgrade to android better then you have now?
Is the phone capable of doing anything further than you are capable of doing with it now?
What does upgrading provide you that you currently can not get/do?
If you can answer these questions with a yes and truely you get "upgraded" then using the upgrade is awesome.
But I just looked at the phones availble. You aren't really getting much of an upgrade and you'll likely spend 100+ on it.
I'd wait.
Just my two cents.
Personally I see no reason why you are posting this on the forum. There are other threads like this already and this forum is not even the place for questions like this. Can you not go to ATT.com or your local store and see the few phones available or read one of the other threads just like this.

Because it's a forum (the general at that) and being an Inspire owner, I thought it would be nice to get the opinion of other Inspire owners who might be in a similar position.
Sorry you disapprove. Kindly ignore this thread, or if you're that offended, click the report button.

Yeah no need to be rude.
To expand further on the Gnote though, I'd say it will be an extremely worthwhile upgrade. Screen size alone will make the device seem like a true "upgrade". Check out some video reviews of the device.
Or better yet, here's a good one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBhEiiMd3qU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Great battery life (2500 mah)
720p display on a huge screen
S-pen ( which I hear works tons better than the HTC flyer stylus)
Lte
Just a few reasons why the device is so great.

Absolutely. Samsung IMHO is currently leading the smartphone race in quality by far.

Yeah... I'd wait until WMC to see what is coming down the pipeline. Maybe there will be something that comes out in the summer or early fall that you'd want more.

I would love to see if the Edge makes it way to AT&T, but time may not be on my side. Gf wants to move over from Sprint to AT&T no later than March. I really live my Inspire, but I've rather get me a new phone than to give it to an Android rookie.

Eh, wait til mwc is over. Q1 is a retarded time to buy a phone. Do you have to foot the bill for your girlfriend's phone?

Good one That's when many of us got the Inspire.
wait until the galaxy s3 comes out
I am all about getting the HTC one X
Check out the specs

my thoughts exactly, that phone should be a beast.
I would wait for the Galaxy S III.
See 2 problems with the One X. First, no micro sd slot. Better plan on limiting what you put on the phone. Second, battery is embedded. No way to pull or easily replace it. Bad battery means replacing the phone. Also, how do you deal with a bootloop?

Stick with Skyrocker or go with HTC One X?

ive never had an HTC phone but i love my Skyrocket, i,m also really interested in the S4 snapdragon HTC X ONE, i was wondering, what do you guys think about the phone and how is the htc dev community? Should i wait for the GS3 or buy a X1
P.S. one x will be available on april 20th on rogers
Stick with Samsung products. Wait for gs3. You'll be extremely disappointed if u jump the gun and get the HTC one x

HTC is definitely not junk. That's just another biased comment. The One X is a great phone. The screen is amazing, and the processor, but I agree to wait for the Samsung Galaxy s 3.

It's my opinion on the matter, compared to sammy
I've had 2 htc phones prior to getting my skyrocket. Things to note about htc:
Build quality = 7-8
Design = 8+
quality of materials = 9
Overall experience = 8
That being said... The one x looks and seems to be a great phone. Super fast, nice screen, great design, and cutting edge specs. The camera is supposed to be very nice, but htc doesn't use the known amoled display. Colors may be less vibrant but at 1280 x 720, you may not even notice. Would I ditch the skyrocket for one.... Maybe if I get to hold the phone and am impressed by it. Truth be told, you should stick with what you got and possibly get the next gen handset when it becomes available. One thing to note.... HTC usually give timely updates where they see fit. As where Samsung (in my experience) take their sweet time. All of this has been based on my own experiences and personal opinions.

HTC do make great phones, but Samsung's phones are overall better made for the android consumer imo. Samsung doesn't waste time with bs aspects such as 3d (which no one ever used anyway). Before the one series, they were all clunky, heavy, and had a hard time lasting 8 hours on a single charge. Don't get me wrong, i've owned both htc and samsung devices, but I just think Samsung has it together, atleast more than HTC right now.
One X
I would wait, the one x and the s3 are just gonna be warm up phones for what's coming for holiday season. You will have serious buyers remorse at that time.

Personally, I'm hoping against hope that the skyrocket HD is released next weekend as well since Spirit is getting its G-Nexus.
I like the specs on the One X, and would consider getting it, BUT what the f*ck is up with only 16 GB and no micro SD support?!?! Really??? Only 16GB!! Such a deal breaker. Hell I have almost 8gb of music & after a nandroid backup or two, there ain't nothing left.
Sure, SGS III is a no brainer, but I'm not waiting another 6 months for it to make its way to US carriers... which you know it will, even if it does get release world wide this summer.
Come on AT&T, give me a f*cking release date on the skyrocket HD already!!!

Who cares about updates? Stick a version of CM 7 or 9, AOKP, etc. and forget about "official updates."

very true. i just flashed back to gb because im having flash withdrawl symptoms. haha sad but true & look @ i9100, nexus community oh boy so much to flash. no offence to any devs here as i got involved too but my question is where is kernels? where is aokp? where is aosp cm9? where is miui. its no where seen or not even heard of. yeah we hear whitehawx and these guys saying they got it running well where is it? the way i see it this phone only has a community of "north america" and "europe" no one else has this phone so are you gonna see anything else? i don't think so. here all the roms right now as we speak are based on leaks, yah one says 1 is better but for me its same thing. next time i'll wait & hear to a phone being released "world-wide" then i'll jump that ship..till then im just waiting for an offer and im selling this phone.. i know yah good things come to who wait, well its been 1 yr already and phone has been released year prior to. s3 might be international and i'll jump on that..
