so, compared to the 4G, this thing is tiny!
i didnt think the thinner screen would make this much of a difference but to me it's really quite noticeable.
im unsure if i like it better. it's definitely easier to hold but i really do miss the extra screen width of the 4G.
the high resolution is nice though...although it adds to the feeling of it being smaller.
i think this size can bring the potential customers that were unsure if they could handle a phone the size of the evo 4g.
what do you guys think?
The screen sizes are the same.

How are they the same? The EVO 3D is taller and skinnier. To my eyes they are different. Not sure what you consider different but they are to me. The EVO 4G is fatter.

Evo is 15:9, Evo3D is 16:9, bezel is nearly identical.
i'm talking about the perceived size.
DDiaz, i know yours got delivered today, are u saying you dont think the 3D feels and looks smaller? or have you not got to play around with the phone yet?
The Evo 4G is wider by about 1/4" to 3/8"
For me its about the same size as my Hero. But the screen will cover most of that space.
For those coming from an Evo 4G it is a noticeable difference. Didn't people already know this.

Aside from the bootloader this has been my only concern...and after holding (the mockup) in my hand I must say that I am even more concerned now...and that suuuuuucks.
I really, really really really really hated it....but, we'll see once I get to play with it....but...i can imagine web browsing sucking a lot, though the resolution will still ensure I get MORE information on the page....but I was looking forward to simply having smoother fonts of the same size, but that would render my webpages completely effed up in portrait, and completely irritating in landscape...
...very very close to a deal breaker, but, I'll keep an open mind for a few weeks....but I'm getting heartbroken...I love my monster.
I preferred the screen size of my Thunderbolt vs my Droid X, kind of a bummer they changed it but you get use to it.

It's going to make web pages suck in portrait and really suck in landscape...sure, the gigantic jump in resolution will surely make that a lot easier to deal with than first glance of a mockup would suggest...but I just hate the way the shape looks.
I just wish the screen was less narrow...I hate that so much.

Be patient. It's not easy to out-smart HTC. We can get temp root. That's easy! But the thing keeps rooting itself when we reboot. It's not permaroot but it's a start. Just coming from a Vibrant, I'm glad that I made the switch to HTC! Even without root this phone is much better to use in my opinion.
It took over two months to get S-Off for the Sensation.

As others have said, be patient.
Recently, HTC has made their devices hard nuts to crack, but every one of them has been cracked.
I had a Vibrant and seriously considered getting the SGS2, even after I swore I would never buy another Samsung phone, because of the GPS and update debacles. I went into the T-Mobile store to play with both, first I grabbed the SGS2 and played with it for a while. The first thing that I thought was, "Ok, this is a bigger, faster Vibrant. I don't really want another Vibrant".
Then I picked up the Amaze, and the first thing I thought was, "Holy crap! This thing is beautiful!". After going back and forth between the 2 for about 10 minutes, it was clear to me, that the Amaze was just a higher quality device. It is going on a week of me having it and I have absolutely no regrets.
Sure I'm disappointed that wifi calling isn't supported yet, and that they are starting to play games with wireless tether, but those things are software, which means they can be changed/fixed. What cannot be changed is hardware. The aluminum case of the Amaze feels and looks wonderful. I know there are a lot people gripping about aspects of the screen, but I think it is excellent. Anyone that is surprised that the AMOLED display is a little better than the SLCD, hasn't been paying attention over the last year or so. Just because it's a little better, doesn't mean the SLCD is bad. Because it is bigger than the Amaze screen but has the same resolution, the pros and cons of it pretty much cancel each other out, in my opinion.
Root and S-OFF will come.

Get the Amaze, this phone really needs Nothing More
Feels Good, Looks Good, Great screen and Fast, no lag
I will root and S-Off simply to remove bloat and be able to install some root apps. This is one Fast, Smooth device.

qHD = resolution (960x540)

What worries me is the development section looks quite scarce compared to the Evo 3D or even the sgs2. It's hard to have faith in the developers when there are so very few that have come out and said they have an Amaze.
I have one that was given to me S-off!!! I am NOT joking and very serious... I put my stock att sim in it and it came right up and worked perfect. I can send a pic of it if need be? How do I take a picture of the current screen with the camera?

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 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.

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.

Gone are the days of 4.3 being big. Now its 4.7 or larger and while I enjoy that size a part of me finds the rezound to be almost perfect for me.
Kinda makes me wish HTC could throw out a 4.3 or 4.5 version of the butterfly out to the market.
I am very much sold on the new HTC coming to Verizon but for me, pocketablity wise the smaller with all the power would be perfect.
Anyone else?
I feel the same way. 4.3"-4.5" is perfect. 4.7" is a bit too big, and 5" is really pushing it.
Bigger the better IMO.

I'm the same, I returned my galaxy nexus and eventually got a rezound. The only thing I miss from the galaxy nexus (other than it being a nexus device) was the larger screen size. I could type fast on it in portrait mode, but I'm always mistyping on the rezound. I don't even have big hands.
I watched the LG CES 2013 trailer video thing on youtube, and general speculation is that the G2 will be announced with a 5.5" screen and bumped up specs from our precious G. What are your thoughts? Will it be a Note 2 competitor, or a G replacement? And how do you think it will affect our updates?

This phone is already a note 2 competitor

Powerwise yes, but the note has a far larger screen. A 5" + screen would make it a closer competitor. See LG intuition for where I'm coming from.

What does anyone need that massive for a screen for lol. Besides if someone wanted that, wouldn't they just get the note 2 instead of this? I don't understand. :x

Agreed, minus the purse. I have large hands and having tested a Note 2, I think the LGOG, and phones of the same size for that matter, have reached the optimal size for traditional use, IMO.

Ask the millions of Note 1&2, or for that matter tablet users. Or ask why anyone needs a screen bigger than the 3.5" one Apple first put out.

It's called competition. The Note phones have proven there is a market for phablets. I'm going to guess you're not studying economics or business.
I returned my Note 2 in under a week. It is too damn big.
I'll be at CES next week. Hopefully there will be something interesting to comment on.

Then I guess this will blow your mind: http://t.co/91c3vTNA
I believe with LG's newfound success regarding the G, a direct attack on the Note would be fantastic, as well as possibly a new tablet. The G2 would fulfill the phablet competition that currently hardly exists. The LG Intuition is too wide, but a form factor like our G with the larger screen would be fantastic. Add a pen display, as well as having quickmemo, and the Note has real competition. Considering LG Displays is suing over the Note 10.1 in Asia, this may indeed be their plans in a nutshell. As HTC slowly falls (sad but apparently true), it's time for Samsung to have a true competitor in the Android market. I would love to see Motorola to come out of the blue, but that seems doubtful to happen. LG has an opening, and I think they should take it. I've been a Samsung fan, and still somewhat am (the siii disappointed me), but I think nothing makes products better like competition. The iphone is competition of course, but there needs to be android competition, or devices will get progressively worse.

If it is actually 5.5 inches then I don't mind even if it is technically the successor to this phone. Only thing id like in this phone that the g2 has is the 1080p screen and the camera if its any better

... I'm not talking about tablets. If I was talking about screens in general, I would be complaining about laptops, desktops, and tv's as well. But I'm not. It's a personal opinion, and a personal opinion of a few others, that a phone doesn't exactly need a huge screen. To each his own if they prefer that size. Apple has a ridiculously tiny screen, so I'm not really sure why they were even brought up lol. Considering I'm a girl, I have naturally smaller hands and have no desire to hold a phone that I need to doublefist. And even some men agree, it's too much.
No reason to be so nasty, Butler. (;

Sorry, not trying to be nasty. Just trying to point out that just because you (and for that matter, I) have small hands doesn't mean that everyone does, or that there's only one size that the market wants (as Apple seems to believe). Everyone thought Sammy was crazy for putting the Note out there, but since it and its followup have been very successful, it's only natural that other OEMs want a piece of the action. I'd like the big screen (even if I did have to double fist it), but there's no way I'd be comfortable having that thing in my pocket, and I'll be damned if I'm wearing a holster for a phone.
I'll be honest, I can't reach the whole screen of the OG with one hand, but I don't care. I arrange my icons to be close to my thumb, and use two hands when I have to. :shrug:
Didn't mean to offend. :angel:

I'd rock a holster like a fanny pack. :B
Except not, haha. I guess I'm in luck with the whole small hands + long fingers thing (my grandma has always told me I have piano fingers). My only fears of extending my fingers is that it slips out of my hand and falls on the ground. I have a case, but I still use at least one hand to balance it. Can't get too ballsy with this phone.
No new smartphones from LG announced. The tease was a smart remote. Nothing more.
