Little background here. I don't buy Apple products. Nor do I use Apple's products unless it's an old iPod with the words HP on it. If I own a desktop/laptop, it's running some form of Linux (the weak Ubuntu ****), or the usual Windows XP/Vista/7.
The reason I bothered to mention this is because anytime anyone in my family gets a new phone, the Apple vs Google bull**** gets started up. Or Apple vs HTC. Or Apple vs Microsoft.
Basically the point where non technical in my la familia pretend they know everything about everything because they own every Apple product ever created since the iPod was introduced into the market. And its annoying when I am the techie and the software developer, getting into these arguments with basically Apple fanboys who just own alot of products that only come in the color white.
Yea im still rambling....the point is, I purchased the EVO 4G. Others in the family purchased the iPhone 4. I enjoyed a good year of verbal ownage when it came to comparing phones. The bottom line (so far from what we know) is that the EVO 3D has a 5 megapixel camera (2D) compared to a 8 MP camera on the EVO 4G. Sounds like a down grade to me. I know megapixels aren't the most important thing, but do you guys think it will compare well with the original EVO's camera, and more importantly (for my continuous family arguments) with Apple's phones? iPhone 4 has a 5 megapixel camera but its pretty nice, and i heard rumors of the next iPhone having an 8 MP camera. Are we moving in the wrong direction here or is 3D really that worth it?
I have the same concern... =)
Honestly if I had the evo I probably would not upgrade to the 3d. I'm moving up from a LG Lotus. However, I prefer the apple iphone only because I'm used to using my friends' when we are out. Worst case scenario is I sell the evo3d I'm getting if and when sprint gets the iphone 4gs.
Wait for SGSII, the camera is a monstrosity
HTC always has weak cameras

One doesn't need to own to comment. Just use logic. Camera in 2d mode is at best a sidegrade. Iphone is better. There is your answer chum.

Yea I saw the images that were on picasa or whatever. Pretty bad, but from what I read, those were not 5 megapixel shots. I could be wrong, but it could still show some higher quality. And it couldve been a test device because I noticed some pics in that same picasa gallery with the same phone model, seemed corrupt (like only half the image was showing up).
But yea if the selling point is the cameras 3d, you would think its good quality. But HTC is usually cheap on that.

This review has plenty of good things to say about the camera.
http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=8329&p=4064
you guys that are talking badly about the evo 3d's camera should probably check out phone scoops review. in fact the reviewer said it was one of their favorite things about the phone and that the camera was great in both 2d and 3d
I really don't care if the camera is "amazing" it just better be better than the Evo 4g... if they cheaped out on the lense so that they could have 2 cameras for 3d that would be sooooooooooo lame.
I want to make a poll on how many people are actually interested in the 3d feature. I would opt for a non-3d, Evo 3d personally I just want the snap dragon, memory, and more battery
Are you still whining .....
Seriously ....read. camera is fine.
Now....is the 3d a requirement or the reason I'm buying the phone..no. am I going to use it...hell yes.

I watched the Wirefly review and the guy who was doing the video said his wife was a photographer and that he let her use it all weekend. Apparently she said it was the best camera on a phone shed ever used or something. Iunno. She really liked it and loved the 3D stuff too.

I'm told that it is a gimmick, and that it should give me headaches. But it isn't and it doesn't. I actually love the feature that turns an otherwise boring also-ran smartphone into something different.
Before, I was one of the biggest naysayers, expecting to hate this phone and wait for something next. But I'm hooked. I may need to see a professional. Or we could form a meeting. Who's coming with me?

We the people in IRC don't think you're worthy to call it a 3VO.
E3D is much better.
You make it sound like a Vaginal Santa Claus, VO VO VO!
It's kinda crazy but either you see the 3D or you don't. My wife has a really hard time picking it up but the 3D snaps right into focus for me. I love to take pics with my DSLR but now I'm looking at things and seeing what would be interesting to capture in 3D. I initially thought I wouldn't use it much but I've been pleasantly surprised and will use it a lot more often.
The 3D pictures taken by the EVO 3D look absolutely amazing on a 3D TV. While I think the display on the phone looks great in both modes, seeing them in full resolution on a large TV really makes the depth shine.
I have no problem seeing the display in 3D - I made it almost half an hour in to Green Hornet before I got sick of the movie itself. I look forward to more games and movies, but until then, I will spend a lot of time taking 3D pictures of everything, because it looks so cool.
The pron is in this section somwehere
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I think the difficulty some people have with seeing it is that first, if you hold closer than 12 inches, it is very difficult (almost impossible) to see the 3D effect. Second, you actually have to make your eyes focus beyond the screen, which just does not come easy for some people.
I totally agree with the OP, I was always like 3D? whatever I'm getting it for the processor and battery and screen res. But the 3D part is actually really cool, and more exciting than I thought; I'm sold on it. it will definitely be the future of all things visual, I think sooner rather than later.
they just need to figure out better viewing angles for TVs and computer screens for glasses free, and it'll be 3D everything.
Would you switch to it from your 3D, or would you stay with your shooter?
I myself would switch to the 4G+. While the 3D camera is cool and all, it doesn't seem to allow for Image Stabilization or time stamp on image in the 2D camera on account of compatibility issues. Also, I've had a 5MP camera on my Hero WITH Image Stabilize and the time stamp on image features, and would love my next phone to have a better camera. 8MP and 1080 video sounds nice, and if all of the specs are the same as the 3D, then I think I'm there.
What do you all think? 3D or 4G+?
These posts are getting really lame; maybe they should create a "Migrage from EVO 3D" forum with all these whiny users.
The evo 3D and 4G+ sound like the exact same thing. Switching from the Evo 4G to the 3D is at least somewhat understandable for those who need the better specs, but wasting 600 dollars on something that is not really different from your phone is a terrible idea. Also, the 4G+ sounds like it will be on Verizon.
The 3d is htcs best phone. So the evo+ will be a downgrade. Prob more like the sensation since they wouldnt make the 3d second best

Moving to Q&A
Megapixels really don't mean much. The og evo had an 8mp camera and it's pics were inferior to the camera in the 3d. The 5mp camera in the og epic took better pics than the 8mp camera in the og evo. If it has the same camera as the mt4g then it well have a good camera for a phone.

But anywho... ^^;
From what I read, the phones are supposed to be exactly the same, sans the camera. I agree, the camera is pretty nice on the 3D, but I am missing the features of a non 3D camera, (I mentioned the features didn't seem to be stable with the 3D feature).
Just curious about whether yall would stay with the 3D camera if you were given a choice.
Who knows, maybe by the time my upgrade comes around again there'll be something even better. lol

Sounds like a retarded idea. Switch from a phone to nearly the same damn phone for... 3mp difference? In probably ly number only?
Yeah. Bravo genius.
"HEY, war torn African people working slave conditions for the minerals used in phones. HEY, Assembly workers who work 30hr days and who will likely commit suicide because of the horrendous conditions. This guy wants an ever so slightly better camera in a phone that is exacting in every other way. Better work yourselves to death to keep up"
Its getting a little sickening hearing seeing all the threads of folks willing to drop something that has nothing wrong with it for something that is ever so slightly better and have no conscious about it.
Well ya, you're totally right. It is kinda not the brightest of ideas I suppose. I guess I'd really only switch to that one IF there wasn't another, better HTC phone coming out by the time my upgrade is up again.

No. Sales weren't so hot for the 3D. The next EVO line will probably have a flux capacitor in it. You know, to mix things up a bit.
Haha maybe in the not so distant future

Lol Would be funny. If market has any say in it, it'll probably have like six cores in it with a display screen too big for its own good.
the evo 3d hardware is already great however the reason why sales aren`t so good is because it is a bit fat and sense 3.0 is not as great as sense used to be, just creating lag whilst adding minimal functionality. people are always saying how bad the snapdragon s3 is but thats because up until now the only phones to have it were sense based. if you look at nenamark 2 you will notice the phone on top is a snapdragon s3 device which scored 10 fps better than the exynos chipset and almost twice as much as the evo and sensation, the difference, software. thats what it all comes down to in the end. i just hope htc finally realises this.
i dunno if its gonna have 3d but check out the htc edge a quad-core phone it will probably become the newest evo .. at least i hope so

cpu slow, what program are you running that its slow in?
some plastic benchmark program makes people say the strangest things.
I think it was all to do with advertising. I bought my evo 3D from ASDA (aka Walmart) for only £250.
Showed it to people and they were like wow! That's so cheap for a phone that does that (3D). What phone is it? Wish I'd known before I upgraded, etc. etc.
It's as if they didn't know it existed. Even iPhone users were saying the same thing.

best party trick it does, is wifi to samsung tv's. awsome with the hdmi link when your traveling
I think that what made this phone flop was the absence of support for the 3D functionality.
No websites support this so in a way if you have 3D content you've shot you'll have to enjoy them in 2D which in many cases looks bad because the focus you'll use for 3D is not always the best for 2D.
I believe that a better overall platform needs to be in place before we have another 3D phone.
Nevertheless the 3D was an amazing proof of concept.

In my view, 3D is/was just a gimmick. The best part was that you are not forced to use it!
I don't mind another 3D phone as long as it can be switched off easily--- I just wish HTC start making thinner phones. Almost all handset makers (except the "fruit" one) have slimmer phones.
I've been reading around and I don't understand why people say this phone is getting old. It gas been out for a while, but looking at the hardware this phone has its not far behind any phone. And the 3d isn't that useful, but nice to have and play around with time to time

Decided to start this to start this to see if many people actually care about it considering that its not the best 3d out there. I know devs work super hard on getting all features on the great ROMs they bring us to feed our flashing addiction lol so by no means am I bashing or anything like that. Just curious to see how many ppl are crazy about it 3d.

Are you referring to our phone (as one of its nicknames is 3d) or the feature?
If your referring to the phone than I love it, while the 3d has gone through its rough times development has picked up and is amazing. At least for cdma (I don't really go into gsm). Because of our awsome devs I kept my 3d instead of buying out my contract and moving on.
If your referring to the feature than in my opinion its a gimmick. I used it for like a week to show it off but that was it. There are rare occasions that I show it off but it's not anything I really care for anymore. I've pretty much moved away from sense and the ability to use 3d.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yes I'm refering to the feature the actuall device is great and all the development that has recently emerged IS AMAZING! I sold my GSII to buy this Evo right before ICS update and I gotta say at first I was a bit disappointed (mainly cuz of all the freeze/reboot issues) but after rooting and non stop flashing I couldn't be happier. My thing is that Im sure devs spend a ton of their time working on it but do the benefits really outweigh the time spent?

3d was on the bottom of my list
i only bought this phone cause it was cheap and a decent CPU/GPU/RAM and had removable battery and microSD storage for my 32GB class 10 card i already owned.
3D though won me over a bit - it did some nice shots - its a massive gimmick but I think its a shame it hasnt been picked up much.
i sadly dont have a 3d tv or anything so my phone is the only way to show images off.
I actually really want a Nexus4 now too - so bit of a tough decision - if HTC released Jellybean for this Evo3D then I'd probably stick with it another six months or so
as it stands I am sorely tempted by the cheap price of the Nexus4 and the fact that google will support it!
Evo3d is my second htc phone although it has very good specs my next phone won't be htc anymore due to htc development policy. Actually all of the android phones have the same problem a bit but when my evo3d dies i will buy a nexus no matter what
I consider the 3D to be a massive gimmick but in all fairness its a good show-off
with the right 3D video your friends can get blown away. Showed it to a friend of mine and now he wants a 3vo too.
BUT.. being an AOSP lover like me you wont get 3D to show off. Its a damn shame when your friends say "why the eff did you buy a 3D phone when you arent gonna use it for the 3D"

some of the construction job photo's Ive taken with 3d from top of cranes and scissor lifts, have freaked people out.
I'd probably use 3d once a week if not more.
I base my decision on hardware specs, if HTC make it too hard to get s-off then I will go elsewhere for my phones.
But they shouldn't remove it either, need something to save the idiots from themselves
It is cool initially and to show other people. I get a lot of great wow responses but day to day, at least for me it is pretty much useless. I'd rather have a single camera lens and a thinner phone
