This is one of the better ones I've seen, not just because it's generally favorable, but because the dude seems to know what's important in a modern device and what phone freaks like us want to know about them.
Sorry if this is a repost, but the vid was only uploaded a couple of hours ago and a quick search of the forum did not turn it up.
You probably should of included the link to the actual article, which seems to be 4 pages long

You're right, of course. Sorry for the oversight.
Looks like a solid review..still some concern about the camera tho. It seems a mixed bag when it comes to video record. Some people say its excellent some say mushy. Same thing with call quality..anyways Friday can't get here soon enough
I've got my preorder and am pumped to get this phone! Even if the 3d isn't perfect, I really don't care. The phone looks sweet. Plus, I'm still using a Hero so I am ready to get rid of it. So slow and laggy. Can't wait! Nice review!
So, we're capped at 60fps on this? I would bet that the score would be higher if it weren't capped at 60.
Or is the benchmark itself capped (Quadrant)? I see the SGS2 also capping at 60 during the tests.
Or, is this a limit of the display itself?
One of the review screenshots clearly shows HD 1280x720 video capability.
Atleast there's 1080p playback. I'm sure there will be a fix from HTC since the hardware is capable of it. If not, the devs will do their magic

Yes but that 720 p ..our evos can do that now. albeit not very well..I don't really care as long as it does it well..1080p on a phone isn't much of a difference on a phone screen

I didn't think there was an issue with the 720p recording, it is the fact that it cannot do 1080p (1920x1080) 2D recording.

With the videos not looking as good as i had hoped for at 720....1080 isnt needed. Praying for some type of "less compression" for faster memory cards or something.
By far, THE BEST review I've seen for this phone.
This is not due to ANY kind of opinion from the reviewer, but simply due to the attention to detail given to the review. Even if the reviewer HATED this phone, it'd still be the best and most detailed I've seen yet. Looking forward to checking out this site more often.
Why is this the first and only review or place that I've seen this mentioned
PhoneScoop Review said:
Lastly, using an optional MHL adapter that’s plugged into the handset’s microUSB port, we’re able to watch 1080p videos stored on the handset directly on a high-definition television set. Not only that, but you can get a mirrored experience as well, which brings the handset’s entire platform experience onto the big screen.

A surprisingly positive review from the WSJ, home of Walt MossAPPLEberg.
The Evo 3D: More Than Meets the Crossed Eye
WOW! I'm really shocked by the battery review, Almost able to make it through an entire work day with 4G on but also while tethering. Sounds actually like a much improved battery system.
Maybe because this wasn't reviewed by Mossberg lol
But good to hear. Mossberg is very Apple biased, so I doubt you'll get a fair review from him.
Im more inclined to believe this than the review engadget put out. However, I'll wait for the one review that really matters before coming to my own conclusions- my own.

The 3D is a throw in. The specs alone on this phone will make it the best one on the market at release date. I prefer HTC over samsung but not everybody does. Could be the best phone this year as well like the OG EVO. If SGSII is the best phone then thats great too, remember the other manufacturers are not the enemy, crapple is!
This reviewer likes the 3D, but not voice quality. Being that this isn't the 1st review to say voice isn't so good, I'm thinking I might have to wait for week ro 2 after launch to see if I want to get this phone.
On any phone, voice quality is very important to me being it's a phone before it is anything else.

Mine does 720p only for recording. I didn't take the OTA, if that makes a difference?

Portrait 3D is true, with some caveats. To me, at least, the best viewing distance in landscape is about 12 inches. In portrait, it has to be about 20 - closer than that is blurry. However, if you zoom one of the 3D pictures, the 3D effect is broken. In portrait view, the widescreen photos are tiny. Since you can see them, and you have to view them from 2 feet, it's hard to see. But, they are definitely still 3D in portrait. So, there is some hope for a 3D portrait homescreen!

Go for it. I've been hearing mixed results for this as well, and I'm kind of confused as well. I won't be getting my 3D until this weekend (sad face haha), but I've been playing with a couple for the past few days thanks to some good friends. While I haven't checked the video setting, someone sent me a video as proof of concept and sure as hell looked 1080p. I'm wondering as well, since reviews about the camcorder have been mixed as well...This is very interesting.
But be sure to let me know what you find out! haha

Uh, if you are holding a 3D in your hand right now, why don't you just check the video settings right now?.
Also, how can you tell a video is in 1080p just by looking at it? It's a simple thing to confirm - check the properties of the file and take a look at the resolution.

Because I was in a Sprint store 10 minutes ago. I didn't think this was even a point of debate since I had been told by three different people it worked at 1080p. Since this thread has been started, I've been pm'ed by two people saying it doesn't do 1080p, and one more person saying I should stick to my story and that they have 1080p. I've updated the article to say this is still being debated. How in heck can people be confused about this? Just look in the settings -_-

But you held the 3D in your hand at the Sprint store, and your comment about 1080p was based in part on the 3D you held in your hand, you said. So on what basis did you confirm from the one in your hand that it recorded in 1080p? And why didn't you just check the settings?

That was more for the Portrait 3D since someone disagreed with one line of the article and through the childish "unbelievable" card.
I didn't check it because I didn't think it was a point of debate. I was told by two people that it recorded and there was no argument on here. Somehow people are still arguing here about whether or not 3D works in portrait, so I was really going to look at that.

Don't mean to keep bustin' balls bro, but your argument has been all but compelling.
I'd like to know how one can even tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a screen that is only 540p?
Also, I'd like to you tune ESPN HD and then tune NBC HD and tell me if you can tell a difference between the two? Without googling it, which one is broadcast in 720p and which one in 1080i?

That's not the issue however. For months HTC has advertised 1080p recording, then last minute they changed it to only 720p. Sure it may not be noticeable to you or others, but we simply want what we were promised. That also implies that the phone is capable of recording in 1080p, but for some unknown reason, is being limited to 720p. Don't you want the full potential of your device?

I'm willing to bet the Evo3D's 1080p recording ability is on par with the Evo4G's 720p recording ability....
So the Evo3D has fantastic, cheap point-n-shoot quality for 720p video (which these days is impressive compared to what I grew up with costing thousands upon thousands of dollars)...and it's 1080p offerings were, well, paltry at best.....and we all know what happened when the evo4g's 720p recording didn't pan out as expected....(though my biggest problem with it was that ****ty AMR audio codec, but I digress)....
...we'll probably be able to open this up and be able to enjoy the lack-luster jumpy low-framerate 1080p that we were originally promised.
From a "principals" point of view, yeah, I'm offended.... but from a technical and practical point of view? It's a good decision on their part.
Now, If I were head of their hardware development department I would employ the same tactic I use at my technical job where "quality" (being a moving target depending on the person) is critical.... employ "expectations management"....where you under promise and over deliver...then everybody is always capable of providing the desired output and everybody is always impressed with what results.
Does this excuse their professional responsibility to deliver on promises? No, not at all, but perhaps for some of you it can help explain it.
some facts from some one with a 3d. As it comes it does not do 1080p. I have not taken the ota and there is a update for the camera in it. I would bet the its enables the 1080p so that's the difference. Also the ota is automatic after activation you have to cancel it so the two different stories.
Can we get a mod to enable this?
5MP 3D would be nice too, and inclusion of panoramic.

Some of the new ROMs mention 1080p cameras, but the ones I have tried the video only goes to 720. I look forward to them being finished!
I hope that there is a dev that can step up to the plate and deliver since HTC & backed off at the last minute and took 1080P video out.

After doing every trick in the book in an attempt to fix my charge port I decided to bite the bullet and bought the charge port from ebay user "easytradingco". My symptoms are: random loading/closing of car mode, then for awhile it was doing that with the audio hub as well as intermittent charging and disconnect. It all started randomly when I was charging from my PS3 and has gotten quite a bit more annoying in the past week. I love my Note, so it's worth it to fix it!
I've read quite a few threads on the whole thing and since I purchased my Note on Amazon this is really my only option. I've found one fairly decent video on youtube and figured I will document my process and post a video as well. For someone who has built computers and worked with electronics since the mid 90s, it shouldn't be very hard.
However, any tips from those who have done the R&R of the charge port would be appreciated!

Hello, All! I take a lot of low-light video of my musician kid performing in small clubs. The problem I'm having is that the brightness is always at max when I start recording. So, I move the slider down and it's great... until I touch the screen again. Then it returns to max brightness, so I have to keep adjusting it throughout my video clip which is visible in the final product. I often need to touch the screen while taping to snap a still photo or zoom in or out. This issue is maddening and is making me consider buying a different phone which is too bad because I still really love my S9+ otherwise.
Is there maybe a setting somewhere I'm not aware of? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks, everyone!

this is a recurring issue throughout all of the last 5 or 6 Samsung phones. The only way of getting around it is to use a non-standard app. I dont video live shows nearly as much as you do, in all likelihood, but i was at Armin Van Buuren on 2.1.20 and i had the same issue. Same issue with Slayer a few weeks prior to that, concert prior to that was outdoors and during the late fall with plenty of light, so that wasnt an issue then.
Try out some different camera apps in test conditions so you wont be let down at the next event.
The cameras on the S9 and S9+ are very good, but i will tell you that some friends of mine at the aforementioned Slayer gig had far worse seats than me and had FAR better pictures and videos with his S10. The difference was striking.
