Optimus 3D v Evo 3D - HTC EVO 3D

OK, I had my mind set on the Optimus 3D as there was no sign of the Evo 3D coming out in the UK. Now we have a date I'm stuck in 2 minds again.
I'm still swaying towards the LG, I know the specs of the Evo are a lot higher but I'm buying for the 3D aspect and I believe that LG will make more 3D content than HTC, they have said there will be a 3D store, they have a 3D menu, there will be 3D games pre-installed and they are working with publishers for more 3D content. I have heard nothing like this from HTC and they haven't been great with things like this in the past.
However, I may be swayed back to the HTC if the photos are any good.
Does anyone actually have the Evo 3D in their hands like a few have the Optimus?
If so, can anyone let me see a full size .jps file taken by the phone in natural lighting?

evo 3d wont be in hands till june and it terms of specs evo wins, in terms of content the market will provide most of it, a few preinstalled apps isnt enough to justify a weaker phone specifically since you will probably be able to just install the apk. im sure there will be minor differences in the way 3d is deisplaed on each phone but both htc and lg are heavily invested in 3d so i dont imagine the differences will be earth shattering
the only real reason to pick one phone over the other in this case is camera quality if you intend to take 3d pics

---

cheers aaron, the much earlier release date of the Optimus is also a plus point. 3D content will be king for me, all other apps will be just about the same. I just can't see HTC having their own app store for 3D games/apps like LG will.
I suppose I could get the Optimus and then sell it for the HTC if I decide the images are far superior

Im in the some situation, specialy now when I know release date for evo 3d. About this 3d there is 1 question which decide. Which phone can playback 3d movies? Want to make sure that phone can run 3d movies before I get it. I do not know why there is no any information that phone can or can not playback movies when we put some films on the phone. That is priority for me, Im not so exciting that I can record movie in 3d, The most important thing is can I playback in 3d for example movie like avatra 3d or resident evil 3d?

---

I will only get HTC and with better stats, whatever the Optimus can do the Evo 3D can do better!

---

how can you be sure?
1.2Ghz doesn't mean it will definately be quicker than the 1Ghz, both different types of CPU, different channels for memory etc
it could be like saying a 12mp camera is better and a 10mp camera just because there's more pixels there and not seeing which has the best optics or sensors.
Plus, the Optimus is in peoples hands now and is released the 1st week of next month, can the HTC do that better?

I cant be sure, but based upon my knowledge of computers a dual core will definitely run smoother and quicker. It's why its hard to find a single core processor anymore. Its nearly safe to assume, more=better.

Got to disagree, my 3.6ghz i7 is a lot faster than a 4ghz i5, I very theres not much in dual core 1ghz and 1.2ghz made by different manufacturers

---

haha i7 is a better processor and still multiple cores. Your i7 has more memory so it can process more efficiently which in turn is faster . But understand I am saying more cores=better and those are both quad core processors. Also that i5 is overclocked and the i7 is not. And theres many other things that will determine why you can tell a difference.

I do believe it will play back 3d movies.......I have never been able to watch a full movie on my EVO as I just don't see the joy in it. Maybe with some 3d addition it will make it more fun.

---

The EVO 3D isn't an 1.2gb phone is an 2.4gb phone. each processor works independently from each other so the phone can send commands to each core. No phone or PC on the market or coming to the market can do that.

Dude, I watch about 1-2 movies on every flight I take. It's awesome...I use rock player and it can play nearly anything.

Not necessarily, the evo has two 1.2 GHz cores, yes.but that doesn't mean its 2.4 ghz, more like 1.8 with massive battery savings. It would also handle multiple tasks much better, it would only be like 2.4ghz if both cores were they were both at 100%

Ummmmm, it doesn't quite work like that. The processors cannot work on the same task like 2 people pushing cart, its more like 2 people pushing 2 carts (each one on a separate cart) at the same time . They have started having 2 cores work with each other more in the new i7 processors but I do not see that happening in this small chip. Its simply having 2 x 1.2 GHz processors.....to some degree. Now lets say your opening a program, one processor opens it, and the other keeps all the other junk running in the background. The processors can work on the same task but not on top of each other like described above. Its described in its name dual core = 2 processors in 1 chip.

I spoke with 2 people who had LG Optimus 3D on this forum and no one confirmed that LG Optimus 3D run 3D movies. I try converted movie in many way but it didn't help.
Look my last post in here>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985690&page=5
this is HelmuthB answer on my private massage: "For some reasons the "Step Up" clip does not play, neither on my PC (Ubuntu) nor
on the LG.
The Avatar clips play but just 2D, it does not combine the two sides into one. :-("
P.s. does htc evo 3d support gorilla glass?

It also doesn't work quite like you've described here.
Anyone really interested should Google CPU threading to get a brief overview of how it works at a conceptual level, and then should look at the specific implementations on each actual CPU architecture to get a deeper understanding, and even further the specific implementations for an instance of that architecture.
For example: Threading theory > Threading in ARM CPU architecture > Threading in ARM Cortex A9 or Tegra 2 or Hummingbird or QualComm MSM-series, etc.
Trying to compare how it works for these ARM procs versus x86 procs (like Intel or AMD chips) is not only a waste of time, it's also incorrect.
If ARM procs handled processing and threading the same as x86 chips, Microsoft would not have to specifically release Windows 8 with an ARM-compatible version.
IN GENERAL, the theory of threading includes the concept of CPU affinity for a thread of processing. In the case of multi-core CPUs, in many instances, this just means that there are more available processing cores to which multi-threaded code can send processes.
In the case of more recent dual-core CPUs, the implementation has also included dynamic frequency scaling, even to the core level, such that when not in use, a core can lay dormant at a very low frequency, consuming very little power.
The result in user perception is that there is a savings in power, because 2 (or 3 or 4 or 6 or 8 or whatever) cores can accomplish a set of tasks much more efficiently and with less power usage than a single core because the single core would have to run at max frequency for the entire duration of the processing, whereas with 2 cores for example, they both might run at 100%, but because there are more engines to process the work, it might take less than half the time, depending upon how many of those processes are sequentially dependent, and how many can be done in parallel.
Parallelism is also a good theory to read up on.
All this said, I'm waiting for the EVO 3D in June to make the leap from TMOUS to Sprint.

You seem to miss how I was keeping it simple and always said kinda or nearly meaning it wasn't exact. Anyways you said I wasn't right but then you agreed with what I said. I didn't bring power consumption into the equation as it only was about the speed.

Qualcomms Snapdragon cores are based on cortex-A8, and they've managed to get about 20% better performance per clock cycle. The optimums 3d has a cortex-A9 which is supposedly gives about 40% better performance per clock cycle. So since the Evo 3D's processor is clocked @ 1.2GHz and the Optimums 3D is at 1GHz is basically a wash (basically a tie, impossible to tell at this point). BUT since the true clock speed of the Evo 3D's dual core snapdragon is 1.5GHz that is great indication that the Evo will be able to overclock much higher (while still being stable).
adding to that benchmark show the Evo 3D has a better GPU than the Optimums 3D, the Evo 3D has twice the ram, A higher resolution display, and HTC build quality is much better IMO

LG Optimus 3D record 3D video only 15 frames per second with AMR audio this is ****, now I know I'll NOT BUY THIS PHONE
does aneone know how HTC EVO 3D record 3d movie?

Who told you that lie?
I have a sample video here and it's 24fps and can go up to 30fps
