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.

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

I have a sample video here and it's 24fps and can go up to 30fps
I finally found a comparable tegra 2 bench posted online in a droid x 2 review, both devices have a qHD screen. It's looking like the hardware we have here isn't particularly impressive, and let's not even go there with the Galaxy s 2 *shudder*, it's a massacre.
I was to understand that the Qualcomm/Adreno setup was going to at least be competitive, and was supposed to be all out superior to Tegra 2. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I don't look at benchmarks too much... but it can download n' upload like a God that's its power tool
My overlocked 1.5 Ghz tegra 2 lags behind my EVO 3D but it scores 900 more points in quadrant so my epeen feels alright. Seriously most of these benchmarks are not coded well.
I think the 3vo uses only one core with quadrant. You have to use a dual core benchmark test like CF Bench for better results. Then again benchmarks really don't mean much.

Benchmarks are nearly useless measures.
Using benchmarks to determine real world performance is like licking your finger and sticking it up in the air to determine how fast the wind is moving.
Yeah, it'll put you roughly in the ballpark--roughly. But that ''ballpark'' is big enough to drive a couple dump trucks through...
Both the droid x2 and the galaxy s2 aren't running sense, which usually drags down bench marks even though the phone is silky smooth. Benchmarks may be useful for testing modifications on the same phone, but not for comparing different phones. Just ask yourself... Does it seem to suffer to you?

Who gives a #$% about benchmarks, all I know is that this thing is fast, way faster than the EVO. I have a gTablet (tegra 2, Honeycomb) that runs games very well and this 3VO runs the same games but only smoother and faster, no hiccups at all. Totally happy here and I have like 200 apps on this thing and I have like 280 megs left.
Oh, and my gTablet is clocked to 1.5ghz!

I've actually never had an AOSP rom run all that much faster than a Sense rom. Enough of a variance to say that there isn't a difference at all.
Like many others have pointed out. Quadrants is a terrible bench for dualcore phones until it's updated. When it reads off a bunch of question marks as the evo3ds CPU, CPU speed,etc. You know its not going to be a reliable test.

Go to anand-tech for the Adreno 220 benches... It crushed the competition so maybe that'll make you feel better.
1 possible reason why the EVO 3D isn't scoring as high as you expect is because I think the benchmark tests don't utilize CPU's with asynchonous dual cores correctly.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Galaxy uses synchonous cores which mean they can only work on the same thing at the same time, they can't work on separate operations at the same time.
The EVO 3D has asynchonous cores which allow for true multitasking meaning each core will work on separate tasks. As I understand it, support for this type of CPU is going to be added in Android 2.4 and later, but don't quote me on that.
LOL @ benchmarks

Any similar comparisons to the exynos/mali(?) that the sgs 2 is packing?
Some of the above statements about asynchronous processing do make me feel better if true.

Why not feel good in the first place?
This phone screams. You're comparing it to a Moto phone with Tegra 2 which will likely be one of the last new phones with Tegra 2. Enjoy the 3D. By the time something comes around to crush it, we'll be into 4 core territory, or Android will be updated to better support multiple cores (if I remember right, this was only really started for 3.0).
I'll agree the SGS2 seems like a killer but I'll take HTC build quality over Samsung any day of the week. Plus, let's see Exynos pushing qHD.
No I hear you. Truth is that there probably won't be any software written for quite sometime that is going to really push our current hardware. Besides I upgrade every year or so anyway, making future proofing less of an issue for me.
It's the principle of the thing.

I hear ya too, but you gotta try not to get caught up in numbers. Numbers can be manipulated. Manufacturers can tune their phones to perform better in Quadrant (this can also be done with custom ROMs; when it is, performance in other categories suffers). AMD and Intel still participate in this ePeen warfare.
I won't be surprised if we see that Evo 3D outperforms the Tegra Moto overall.
The good thing is, we will eventually see this thing rooted completely (hopefully not after it's lost most of its luster). THEN we will see what we can push out of this phone. Look how fast it's running sense. Imagine a vanilla Android experience on it, or an overclock to say, 1.8 GHz (which will probably happen). I dunno about you but I'm salivating.
Ok, the only benchmark I need to know is that my phone boots up from "off" in 10-12 seconds. Base your satisfaction on a constant, not on relativism.

Should be no difference to code for asynchronous or synchronous. The cores will run at full speed if they're pushed. Quadrant scores are more based on database read and write speeds than anything.
I've owned many many phones, and this one is by far the most fluid (although I have not had hands on with the Galaxy SII, but I hate Samsung's software)
I haven't run into a case where the phone stutters, have you?
I believe in the Anandtech benchmarks, they used a developer phone that has the same qualcomm chipset running at the stock 1.5ghz, while our phones were downclocked to 1.2ghz.
They might have done this for various reasons, it would be interesting to see how our phones overclock and if there's any changes in battery life.
I've seen a lot of threads discussing how much of a game-changer the Adreno 220 should be, and I've seen plenty of videos of benchmarks, but outside of Samurai II: Vengeance, I haven't seen any games that really "wow" me with their graphics.
I know we're on Android, and our market is fragmented to hell thanks to all of the hardware differences.
I'm coming from an HTC Evo 4G, which had fairly abysmal GPU performance.
Games I've tried so far:
Samurai II - Vengeance (awesome to see this kind of graphic quality AND framerate)
Dungeon Defenders: FW Deluxe (not my kind of game, but runs much better than on OG Evo)
Pocket Legends, which really isn't impressive
Any suggestions? I hate to give a thumbs-up to something in the iOS camp, but I really was impressed with Infinity Blade on my friend's iPhone4 and iPad2.
EDIT: I should clarify that I'm hoping to find something that looks better than a first-generation 3D Nintendo DS game, which the majority of Gameloft games look like.

Look up Chainfire3D, lets you run Tegra 2 games on your phone and the processor is more than capable of running it well!
Simple answer is that NO games take advantage of the Adreno 220 GPU. You can download Chainfire 3D for free from the marketplace, it's basically a video driver that enables you to play Tegra 2 exclusive games. Actually, this hardly even takes advantage at all of our hardware. You can actually run just about all of the Tegra exclusive games on the og Evo. Simple answer is that no current games take advantage of it. If you look at the iPhone 4, it has a powervr sgx535, which is about the equivalent of an Adreno 205, you can kind of get an idea how much faster the Adreno 220 is, don't forget we have a higher clock speed and an extra core. The stupid thing is though, is that technology is moving so fast, we are going to have quad-cores in our phones before apps and games take advantage of dual-core devices.

Just like the ps3 hasn't been bush to its limits, man I remeber the first ps2 games how crappy the look and at the end they were looking so sweet (4-5 years later)
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
The biggest issue is that we still don't have much to show off the OG Evo's Adreno. We don't have a "killer app" 3d game. Also, the whole Tegra thing ticks me off. I know nVidia is channeling money for exclusive games/features and ChainFire3D still has issues with some games (I have issues with GoF2 either having disappearing textures or FCs).
Qualcomm really needs to take some pride in the Adreno and start funding some developers.
I installed Chainfire, now how do I get access to tegra 2 games. I can't install tegra zone.
In ChainFire, choose "Fix Market", you won't be able to install Tegra Zone but you will be able to find THD games if you search by name.

ignore i posted in wrong place by mistake
Just thanked a few of you for your responses. I wanted to add a couple of things for clarification however (especially to any future readers). First off, the free version of Chainfire 3D ain't gonna do it. Second, after editing build.prop and installing Chainfire 3D, you have to install the Nvidia driver (like explained in the tutorial link in an earlier post). THEN, (after possibly a few re-boots as described in the tutorial) you have to download whatever nvidia game you want. Now my experience was that when I launched the game by tapping on the icon, it didn't look right or it would force close. I actually had to open Chainfire 3D, then play with the settings for each app and launch them from within Chainfire.
Now I've got Galaxy on Fire 2 running pretty well. I love a good hack!
Does any one have any thoughts on this issue?
Which one is faster? Tegra 2 dual core or snap dragon dual core?
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4054/first-look-viewsonic-gtablet-and-tegra-2-performance-preview/2
I dont know about speed, they seem comparable in those tests at least. But as an owner of both, if they get Android working right on the Touchpad, I will gladly move on. The screen on the G-Tab is just sooooo bad and the Touchpad is sooooo nice.
I've often wondered about these types of questions. It's like watching Top Gear, and a car is .01 seconds faster than another and they start singing it's praises...in practical use, does it really much matter?
I remember when PCs were getting fractionally faster and faster. Sure a PC from 1994 is going to seem SLOOOW compared to the best availabel now, but in 2003, would an increase in megahertz really be all that different? To the trained eye, maybe, but to the guy making spreadsheets all day, probably not.
Besides, this question will be moot when the Tegra 3 is released...lol
Do you want to know if it's faster running webOS, or faster running Android 2.2, 2.3, or 3.x? Each tablet is capable of running certain OSs with a certain degree of proficiency.
I trying my best to my hands on a touchpad too.
just curious as to why some tablets have the snap dragon and some have the tegra 2
The snapdragon has a more powerful gpu but less powerful smartphone oriented CPU. The scores for the HTC sensation tell the story since it uses the same SoC+radio. at the retail price the touchpad was a horrific substandard tablet. At 99$ not so much. The snapdragon in that tablet is also capable of clocking the cores independent of each other which allegedlysaves power.

Hello DuuDe's! 'Sup!?
I know, every device(CellPhone) is best at one department, but i wanna Know: (3 Questions)
1-Wich is the best Device With 512mb of RAM?
2-Wich is the best Device With 768mb of RAM?
3-Wich is the best Device With 1024mb of RAM?
I wanna know all these 3 segments.
The device im seeking, is one that No matter what App or Game i "Trow" to it, it execute it Flawlessly.
And I know, i cant install like 300k apps because that loads the device and lags it, but i know the Ext2/3/4 partition Trick
NOTE: Really dont care too much if its LTE enable or not. If price difference is considerable for just Having LTE i may discard it... All because in my country LTE will arrive in 2016 if not latter :'(
Anyway, if you guys help me with that, I Will be Thankfully
Cheers!
LG Optimus Speed, HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy S2
I'd definitely say, the best smartphone (also because it has 1GB RAM) is the Galaxy S2 which runs super smooth and should handle every apps flawlessly (just for some Tegra games you need to install chainfire but the 1.2GHz Dual Core Chip plus Hardware acceleration is awesome).
The number of devices with 768MB RAM isn't that big either, I'd choose the HTC Sensation which also has a 1.2 GHz dual core processor and nice screen and built quality, maybe runs a tiny bit worse that the S2 but it is definitely a great phone which also probably handles apps and games without problems.
The number of devices with 512 MB RAM is endless and the qualities of these devices depend on many things.
They usually handle applications and games (also 3d ones) as they are menu to be- all which is more a matter of the used processor. The best chip in a 512MB RAM phone is in the LG Optimus speed I think (Nvidia Tegra2, dual core) which runs very nice, also with high end Tegra optimized 3d games, and the OS will be even faster if you install CM7. The speed is pretty cheap for a dual core phone btw.
Hope this helps.

Thanks men, i see more clear now.
The HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio, its worth to expect the release of it?
What do you say? Should i spect 2012 for buy the phone?
All those 3 options, or any Dual-Core phone will last 2 year flawless on executing Apps?
I ask because, i see how the phone world is evolving... Like Gaming on PC, in 6 month u cant play the last games... I don't want giving 500/600 and in 1 year or less i have to change it, cuz lag/Don't Execute
2 years is a very long time
It's impossible to pretend how the whole thing will develop in two years, it's just certain that we will at least have Quadcore chips then (Nvidia's quadcore processor will probably come in the first quarter of 2012 and the devices a little later). And I'm pretty sure that there will be games optimized for this Nvidia chipset which may not run anywhere else- like it's today with the Tegra2. But the number of those games is relatively small (at least now) and most current 3d games with nice graphics van be played on current (or even >1 year old 1GHz) phones, look at the SE Xperia play!
The Sensation XE is no bad choice (1.5GHz Dual Core Snapdragon, 768MB of RAM, but that isn't that hugely important for the choice of games). If you can get it for a good price you won't buy a bad phone with a powerful processor- although I think I'd still prefer the Galaxy S2.
I really can't guarantee that a phone you but today will do everything a new phone maybe be able to do in two years, I'm even sure that a 2013/2014 device will be able to handle things a 2011 phone won't but you shouldn't be too sad about that. The device will still run well in two years and it will probably run 97% of all available games- but I still can't look into the future.
I don't know how long you want to wait with the purchase of your next phone, in a few months there will be certainly better phones- e.g. the next Nexus will be unveiled in some days, not sure what to expect from it, also the price of current flagships will drop.
What might be great for you if you love gaming would be a successor to the Xperia Play but I haven't heard anything about it yet.
