So I was 99.9% certain I was going to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S II, but now that ive seen the evo 3d, im stuck between these 2 devices.
Spec wise there pretty similar
Both have 4.3" displays
Both shoot 1080p and have ffc
Both are 1.2ghz Dual-core
Both have 1gb ram
Both have hdmi out
Only obvious difference is evo has 3d cam and 3d display but galaxy 2 diaplay is wayyy batter in terms of quality not res.
Build quality of htc evo 3d will be better, im sure, but the GSII is like half the thickness and very light, so thats sort of a draw. Release is around the same time and im sure price wont differ that much.
Which one should a person choose considering the whole 3d thing is sort of a gimmick and im going to barely make use of it???
And how exactly do you know the Galaxy's screen is waaayyy better?

I had galaxy s and have desire hd currently and the s-amoled is much much better than the DHD lcd and the evo also uses lcd. On top of that, the s-amoled plus is big improvement over the samoled so its common sense. Also ive seen comparison shots of lcd vs s-amoled vs s-amoled plus vs retina and samoled plus is easily the best.
Same dilemma here...
HTC = Sense UI, if you buy LG, Samsung or any other manufacturer you will never see Sense roms. Look at Samsung Galaxy S series, 4G, Nexus S etc... all they have is AOSP roms like CM7, Miui etc.. no Sense due to close source from htc, now if you buy HTC phone you can have both worlds Sense UI and AOSP roms.

Qualifying question I have is: Do you know that the Galaxy S II is coming to Sprint (hopefully without a hardware keyboard)? If yes, will it come out before the Evo 3D?

Yeah, there was a dilemma at first but they confirmed our DHD's come with s-lcd.
about the release date from what Ive heard, the sgs2 is coming out for verizon, tmobile and sprint around june, and evo 3d is also supposedly coming out in june but I think it might be sooner since theres and htc event for the 12th or 14th and pre orders might start soon but im not sure if its for the htc pyramid or evo3d. So who knows maybe itll be out sooner
I Have an Epic right now... and honestly not even thinking about the SGS2 ..
Why the build quality is **** the keyboard causes the screen to wobble everytime i touch it.
Samsung sucks @ Updates...
the drivers are stupid...
alot more development behind the Evo...

Rooting or unlock is not a problem, HTC is close source period. You don't believe me? Look on XDA any SamSux or LG they don't have no Sense ui period don't you think other dev have try to port Sense to samsug? It's useless, check all samsux on xda tell me which model have Sense ui?

I think it depends on which SG2 is available to you, will it be the Tegra 2 or Samsung Orion. The Tegra 2 is very underwhelming, but the Orion is impressive.
If it's the Tegra 2 SG2 (I think Europe is still getting these) get the Evo 3D instead. If you can nab the Orion SG2, get that one.
And the lack of Sense argument is invalid, since the SG2 will have Touchwiz, which Sense phones lack. Some people like Sense, some people hate it. Some people like Touchwiz, some people hate it. Having one or the other isn't really a drawback/benefit.
Personally, I would go with the SG2 (I dislike Sense a little bit more than Touchwiz), assuming Samsung doesn't use a ****ty file system again like the first series.
And really, the whole HTC vs. Samsung arguments are getting real old, real fast. We get it, Touchwiz and the plastic is not your cup of tea. However, some people love it. I love the feel of the Nexus S MUCH more than the feel of the Nexus One, but I like the feel of the DHD more than the feel of the.. Captivate. Preference. Saying "Samsux" is just childish.
Perhaps the only thing I hate about Android is that the community is split between HTC, Samsung or Motorola. There is no middle ground, just like iPhone vs. Android. It's one or the other and people will incessantly argue which is better. It's all preference guys, there is no need to impose your preferences on others so harshly, especially when we are all apart of the same community.
Edit: I also prefer SAMOLED to SLCD, so I am assuming I will love the SAMOLED+ more than the SLCD 3D of the Evo 3D, but I could be wrong.
@XanLinder, it's not about which is better. I'm just pointing out the facts that if you like TouchWiz than get Samsung or Sense than get HTC. You forgot this is htc section HTC = SENSE
Edit: I'm just saying that if you buy other manufacturers don't complain about there's no dev, roms. Look at the Nexus S development section they all thought just because it's a Google phone and it'll be supported by dev just like N1. But it's not they forget who make the Nexus One. Now they're moaning and *****ing cause they want Sense UI. lmao

Not necessarily because the evo will provably have pentile matrix and the new super amplest plus has 50 percent more subpixels per pixel. Early reviews All have praised the galaxy s2s display, slcd is good but anemic in terms of colors and vibrancy compared to super amoled

I honestly don't see the big upgrade. The only thing the One S really has on us is size, it's something like 8mm thick instead of the 11 or so on the Amaze; and possibly their new image chip. Other than that, it's just HTC trying to get the super nerds (us) into buying a phone similar to the one we have because it's "new."

Not exactly though, because for people unlike "US" their are people who buy their phone and never glance at XDA or any dev site. So that means they are still stuck with sense 3.0 ect. This phone for the average user gives them sense 4.0 which the amaze isn't supposed to have even if we did get it through the devs. A sharper camera which for me takes the hassle out of pulling at the Fujifilm every time. The size difference. A brighter more vibrant display. I mean for the person who doesn't unlock the bootloader and flash roms, It's an upgrade. Not as much to us but even to us their are some things the amaze don't have meaning upgrade.

True, but the average user prob doesn't care as much about gingerbread, ics, sense 4.0 etc. as we do. Haha.
I'm just bugged by HTC in general. I wish they would do more for customer retention than selling a phone and putting it on the back burner 4 months later. Make us love HTC and be loyal, then more people would stick with them on their upgrade or replacements.

Well my good friend just came over to show off & compare his New GSIII to my EvoLTE. Well let me know after coming from the E4GT this phone looks & feels almost identical. It is bigger than the EvoLTE but it is lighter & thinner which makes it extremely hard to hold comfortably & safely IMO. The screen doesn't even come close to the Evo. The colors are way over saturated and it has a bluish tint to it. TouchWiz is back & ugly as hell. It does open apps and switch between screens with no noticeable lag which is a plus cause the Evo has been laggy for me at times. Overall Im happy with my decision to get the Evo. Think I'll pass on GSIII and maybe go with the Note 2 if Sprint gets it.

I hear people talking about the S3 like some new god of a phone, but I honestly prefer HTC, with Sense. The hardware and benchmarks are so similar, you really have to look at the devices and see what you personally prefer for the experience of the phone. I prefer the style of the phone to the G S3, and the extras like the dedicated photo key, which I use a lot, and the kickstand, which I actually use a lot as well. Don't forget the SLCD2, too.

I agree the evo is better IMO

Touchjizz and the GS3 look like a redeveloped iFail to me.
I agree that the G3 isn't that great, but for most people who aren't exactly super picky like us, will suck up the fact that touchwiz is god awful ugly and use the phone. Much like the iPhone, Samsung is doing a lovely job with the bandwagon advertising. People think the phone is god, people will buy said phone pretending all flaws do not exist.
I guess everyone's opinion will be different. I'm sure I would still prefer the EVO over the S3 myself, if given a choice...I just find it interesting how the screen on the Galaxy phones are always said to be color inaccurate and not as good as the LCDs on phones. I say this because OLED TVs are supposed to be the next big thing with the most accurate color reproduction of any TV to date, plus a sharper picture and best contrast ratio. And they will be damn expensive when they hit the market. I'm guessing there must be some kind of difference between the phone and TV version of the screens.

Yeah, it seems like everyone has said that when comparing them side by side... It's just strange when OLED is supposed to be the 'superior' technology. Maybe it's just a phone thing... on a side note, though, my next TV will definitely be a Sony and not a Samsung. Had problems with every Samsung we've had, and absolutely zero with every Sony.
Thanks, I feel better for sticking with my EVO LTE.
I'm wondering if people who own the GS3 are also having the same issues with text and calls not going through as well as connectivity issues some EVOLTE users are experiencing. If so, we would be able to narrow down these issues directly to Sprints network instead of blaming the phone.

Just watched the iPhone 5 keynote...EVO LTE is still a better phone. Android Jelly Bean is still a better OS. My, how the mighty have fallen.

The sad thing is, they will continue to sell boatloads of phones and millions of people will still think their phone is the most advanced phone ever....until someone shows them an Android or Windows phone (that isn't $50 dollars).
I'd still buy an iPhone for someone like my parents. It's simple as crap to use. When apps crash on the iPhone, it just vanishes and no one knows what the hell happened, so they just think they must have pressed a button to close it. lol It's a seamless experience for technophobes.

It looks like a great phone. I'm not a fan of the size personally, and I don't really care for iOS, but I can see this selling a lot. They obviously put a lot of effort into the details. Having a new connector sucks for people who have docks, but such is life I guess.
It's got all of the essential features that other phones have, like panorama and taking pictures while recording video, and it's an attractive device.

Who has true, stock, functioning JB on their EVO? We're stuck with Sense.
The iPhone 4s camera is superior to mine on the EVO, so I'd assume the 5 is better still.
Further, the new iPhone will have LTE on Verizon and ATT. That's a true benefit over the Sprint network our EVOs are tethered to. Atlanta is live for Sprint, my ass.
Rationalize all you want, but Apple has released a beautiful piece of kit that will outsell this device by a factor of 500 or more.

The screen isn't necessarily amazing because of the PPI though. This phone's screen is considered to be the best around and it has a lower PPI than the Rezound does.

Your attempts at name calling aside, I had a 4S for two weeks when I started a new job. I'm telling you, the camera is better. Period. If you disagree, you do not mind over-saturated reds and pinks, nor lots of noise in low light.

What's there to research? I've read reviews for each phone. The Rezound does have a great screen, and a high PPI. This phone has a better screen, but a lower PPI. That goes to show that a higher PPI doesn't equal a better screen. Sure, it's a good thing to have, but it is by no means a 100% accurate way to judge quality.

What's a dupe?
Your attempts at name calling aside, I had a 4S for two weeks when I started a new job. I'm telling you, the camera is better. Period. If you disagree, you do not mind over-saturated reds and pinks, nor lots of noise in low light.
My EVO in real world application is a sloth when it needs to stream, download, navigate, anything requiring that thing called DATA.
Enjoy your world-class tech at 200 kbps down.

No I enjoy my rezound which gets up to 25 mb dl speed. I don't blame HTC for sprints network. And I disagree about the camera. Sorry I guess dupe was a little harsh but I completly disagree with you.
But hey to each his own. Get the iPhone that you will have for two years. It's already outdated.

So what's your point I guess? I do not think the 4s screen is better then either of my phones. I guess if you're just saying ppi doesn't matter I have to disagree. It does matter .

My point is that just because the iPhone 5 doesn't have a PPI as high as the Rezound, doesn't mean that the display is inferior to that of the Rezound, which you implied in your initial post.
So, there's been lots of speculation about a 5" HTC phone, and it's finally been announced. Not only 5" display, but the FIRST 5" display in the world to offer full HD 1080p resolution. Unfortunately, this one will not be sold outside of Japan. But, they have said that we can expect to see this display in phones around the world in upcoming models.
SOURCE: The Verge
The rumors were true: HTC has been working on a new flagship phone with a 5-inch 1080p display, and we got to see it in Tokyo today. It's the HTC J Butterfly, and it's set for a release this December on AU / KDDI. A follow-up to the previous HTC J, the Butterfly uses the same red and black color scheme and Rhyme-inspired skin, though this time it's running on top of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Inside there's a quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor, 2GB of RAM, and an 8-megapixel camera with an f/2.0 lens.
The real attraction, though, is the 5-inch full HD Super LCD 3 screen — it's truly a sight to behold. The Super LCD 2 seen in HTC's previous flagship One X was arguably the best panel on the market, but we think its successor is the new champion. Color reproduction is excellent, the 440ppi resolution is astonishing, and the screen's slightly curved edges make the image look like it's melting off the side of the phone. It doesn't feel overbearing in the hands, either; the phone's 9.1mm thinness and slim bezel make it surprisingly compact, and we found it was easily pocketable. The J Butterfly's 2,020mAh battery is above average in capacity, though we're interested to find out how it'll keep up with powering so many pixels throughout the course of a day.
While this is a Japan-specific model and almost certain to stay that way, HTC reps told us that its display will be making its way into other phones around the world. If the J Butterfly is anything to go by, you should start to get excited.

I wonder if Butterfly sounds cooler in Japanese?
I'd love this + SD Card slot. I'd screw over my perfect update schedule for it.
Saw it last night, think I may have been drooling lol. I don't know how comfortable I would be with a 5 inch phone though, and no I don't think HTC Chou sounds any better lol
Gf says J chou sounds totally cooler because it's the name of some Asian pop singer lol
I'm willing to believe that the next EVO will see this screen. It'll have to.
Butterfly makes me think of the kyocera echo, glad it's not a dual screen pos

Oh you can bet we will see this phone or one almost identical to it. When, who knows. But it just makes me think Gs3 what?? Note 2 What??? LG nexus what?? This is simple the best phone announced to date...and thats just a simple fact.
I hope on the Evo, it's more of an edge to edge screen. If I have a 5" screen, I want it no wider than my LTE. It's kind of ugly (not a fan of the earpiece), but I bet that screen would make me forget all about it.
I'm kinda done with the constant up sizing of the screen... The Evo lte is almost too dang big already.. I'll definitely be looking elsewhere if 5" plus size screens are htcs only option in the future.

The j butterfly is 143 x 71 x 9.1 mm, our Evo Lte's are 134.8 x 68.9 x 8.9 mm. Only 1/3 inch taller, and the the width and depth differences wouldnt even be noticeable. This phone has me excited, noting that KDDI is a CDMA carrier.
Oh man I sure wish the butterfly was our EVO instead of the jewel...

Nice find. I always said this phone is already a bit too big. But the overall dimensions on the J butterfly are hardly bigger.
I see some pics with a big rectangle earpiece that I Dont like, but some other pics show an earpiece like the OG Evo which I really like. Not sure why the discrepancy.
hurled from my AOKP'd Evo LTE. Enjoy.
Wow what an embarrassing name for a phone. "Hell yeah I got the new HTC butterfly!"

Yeah, but it's a Japanese phone, they have hello kitty phones and all sorts of other weird stuff. The name butterfly probably seems normal.
If this is the model for the Nexus 5 or whatever it is going to be called, it will probably be a bit smaller without the hardware buttons. If it had the software buttons this would be perfect

Yeah, I mean KDDI could've requested something more feirce: HTC Kendo, HTC Oda, HTC Tiger, or hell HTC Daimyo.
I can only imagine what would be added by the time it comes here to the US, and what specs would be updated when it makes it to Sprint. Like a 16MP camera, next generation processor, Android 4.2, etc.? I'm starting to get hot & bothered here.... LOL

There have been a lot of rumors flying around that LG, HTC, and Sony will each have their own nexus device. LGs supposedly will be based on the Optimus G, HTCs will supposedly be based off the Droid Incredible X (which is basically the same as this phone).

Aren't they making a few different Nexus phones from different manufacturers? Like Motorola was supposed to be involved, along with LG, HTC, and Samsung? I could've sworn I saw it in an article somewhere...

Atm I don't believe that they have 1080p screen tech any smaller than 5" ...if they can reduce the top and bottom.bezel then hopefully the phone won't be much larger ..other than that ..which I'd eat up that screen with that chipset and ram..we are approaching pc power..pretty unbelievable
