materials - HTC EVO 3D

guys im 50/50 on EVO 3D or Optimus 3D
im wondering if the HTC case,housing materials are made of some kind of metal or is it just plastic?
i do need your pros and cons to which device to buy

If u want more 3d content then the lg is ur beat choice. If u want better everything else and a 3d camera, evo3d is ur choice. Imo u cant compare lg to htc in the phone world yet.

the 3D effect on the Optimus is depth rather than "coming out of the screen", this is better for those who get headaches apparently, but that's down to personal preference. I think the Optimus looks nicer, but again, it's down to personal preference

yes, it is with no mention of if/when an upgrade is coming
Is that tape on the 3D? Doesn't everyone know the phone is on sprint already?
I like the EVOs looks better but I do like the gallery feature better on the Optimus. It's pretty cool. I think HTC should've made it more like that in Sense 3.0

there's no 3D menu at all on the EVO which I think is an oversight, it's only a little thing but it gives the phone a little "wow" factor. It also makes me think HTC won't be pushing for 3D content from 3rd parties as much as LG will (the LG has a 3D menu for all their 3D stuff [gallery, games, youtube, camera etc])

Let's get it ported
I have the optimus 3D and would like to test out the evo 3D cause i want to give a 3D phone as a gift to my father and the optimus 3D launch date is still not clear. So the evo 3D would be a great alternative. I actually like the 3D space(3D gallery) on the optimus. Adds another level of wow factor whenever i use it when im on a public place. And makes organizing 3D content very easy...Wish to see it get ported..

released 8th July in UK, no sign of Evo 3D over here though. The Optimus 3D may be importable?
Not sure how the Evo works (I've asked HTC but no reply) but the Optimus can view JPS taken by itself as well as MPO (the Evo's 3D format of choice) so photos will be interchangeable at least in 1 direction
so if everyone is complaining about how awful the 3d effect is on the evo is.. what will they say about the LG ..hmmm

plenty of reviews around as well as 3D videos and 3D photos taken with the phone, take a look. No-one's really slagged it off like they have the Evo yet. Still waiting for UK/Euro news on the Evo 3D, HTC don't seem to like giving anything away so I haven't even seen the phone in the flesh over here.

I too have a feeling there won't be many apps and features for 3D stuff. Don't her me wrong, I love this phone and can't wait to get it in 6 days, but I kinda feel like HTC made the phone and pushed it out just to have another "first" under their little. I hope they make it useful because I honestly don't see myself using the 3D too much.

Plenty of people already expressed the goodness of 3D on the optimus. Aaron from phonedog said the 3D on optimus is better than the evo. I have one and as you can see im very impressed on the depth on the 3D... but the release date for the optimus3D has been pushed 3x now and im a bit furious i want a 3D phone now so that my gf and my father(in arizona) can enjoy 3D goodness too. Wish the evo 3D supports mpo files cause ill be sending pics from my optimus to my father there in the US.

Yeah, I can imagine LG getting more content from publishers, they already have an LG store on the phone and I can imagine exclusive 3D films/trailers etc coming very soon. I don't think HTC will push companies/publishers for that.
Oh, and there's no first from HTC with this, the Optimus is already released to the public in Korea, making that the worlds 1st consumer 3D phone. It may be the 1st in the US, but that's only a very small percentage of the world so can't really be classed as a "1st"
Optimus already had partneship with youtube 3D, gameloft, some AR 3D technology coming to it and other devs to develop for optimus 3d. I haven't really heard anything concrete from htc regarding their future plans for the evo 3D other than releasing a 3D sdk... hope both companies will continue to support these devices, cause after using an optimus 3D im in love with it now and looking forward to see more applications that will take advantage of the 3D. I know 3D is not that important but it is at least very fun to use
can htc evo 3d run this 3d games like lg optimus 3d? nova 3d, asphalt 3d etc?

There was a discussion about who's first blah blah over on AC. Someone came in and said Japan has had 3D phones since December. So LG nor HTC can say they're first.
what do you think about gpu's of this phones ? PowerVR SGX540 or adreno 220 ?
seems Amazon.co.uk stating release date for Optimus 3D on 21st of July, nothing yet about EVO 3d

Help me decide - EVO or Sensation

Ok so i know that posting here i would exspect most to say Evo (and i am posting here because i am using the EVO at the moment) but if you had the choice now which would you go for and why?
I have both at home now and am really struggling to decide which to keep.
Looks wise the sensation gets it in my opinion.....but that said i often feel i might drop it because of its sleekness.
Camera wise sensation gets it as i am very unlikey to use the 3d long term...its a great gimic at the moment but long term not sure how much i will make use of it and content seems very little around at the moment.
Screen - EVO gets it, when looking at both side by side Evo is brighter, whites look whiter if that makes sense, dont know why as they are supposed to be the same screen but there is definetly a difference.
External speaker - Evo gets it, the sound is more 'full' and not as crisp as the sensation - volume wise i would say both are the same.
Battery wise the EVO should be better as its larger but if i went for the sensation i could swap the EVO battery into the Sensation
Both are running 2.3.4 so no difference there although the EVO does feel smother for some reason.
Ram is bigger on EVO although not sure how or if i would ever see the difference in this.
Happtic feedback....EVO is better...i know not everyone uses this but for some reason when this is used on the Sensation there sounds like something is loose as its not a 'solid' vibration like on the EVO maybe its a build quality issue but it really niggles me to the point that i would need to switch it off if using the Sensation.
Sensation does full HD which for some reason EVO dose not? is this due to only having 5mp camera or do you think this will come in an update? Full HD is really the standard now on the latest smartphones. That being said i have noticed that when recording in full HD on Sensation the playback is a little 'choppy' at times, might be due to memory card issues...i read somewhere that a lower class card can have this effect (class 4 in EVO and Sensation) not sure if this is true or not though.
These are just a few of my thoughts and observations and i welcome your help in making my mind up.
You almost gave you own answer, the full hd is possible on the EVO but it probably be choppy, and 720 o ain't bad for a phone , well I use a camcorder for vacations , anyways I like how the sensation looks but I prefer my EVO 3d, for some reason HTC makes some ok designs for cdma and makes great ones for GSM phones
Besides that which one has better coverage where you live and work , I would put that in my list

Both are on orange in the UK. I would say call quality and reception are equally good on both.

I'd go Evo 3D. You don't have to use the phone in 3D if you don't want to. You also get 1Gb RAM. Bit more than Sensation.
Lol, I was gonna ask what carrier you had. Figured it was sprint vs t mobile but since its the same service.....
sent from my 7/23 iNfEcTeD EVO 4G
I was dithering but opted for the 3D. The Sensation has the prettier casing, but the 3D is nicer to hold in the hand. In my opinion anyway.
If I want super high quality photos, I use my camera. Everything else I now do in 3D as it's just great to have the depth etc of 3D. Many think it's a gimmick but I genuinely enjoy it.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
I'd say EVO 3D. The specs, screen, and bigger battery are enough to convince me. Although I must admit, the Sensation looks damn sexy... but that being said, it does feel way too slippery for me. Too sleek. The RAM on the 3D is also a BIG bonus, and I'm sure the 3D will get 1080p recording eventually. EVO 3D.
I would say go for an EVO!!
EVO 3D please!
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I originally had the sensation but then sold it and upgraded to the evo 3d. I would say go for the sensation, even though the battery in the evo is larger it seems roughly comparable to my old sensation.
The screen on my evo3d is very dull compared to my old sensation and that touch screen problem makes playing my favourite games a hassle.
3d is nice but I would rather have a sexier phone tbh you can always slap on an awesome phone case and it'll feel just like a 3d
If you ain't got 3D, well, ya ain't got 3D.
LG Optimus 3D (T-Mobile/P920)
I vote 3d
.
if your getting the sensation xe DO IT NOW, if your getting the regular sensation DONT DO IT lol you can take 3d boobie pictures bro come on lol

Would you trade your Evo for a SGS II

Just a question for you guys .... Would you trade your HTC Evo 3D for a Samsung galaxy sII epic 4g touch?
Might have an opportunity to trade but I'm debating if I want to
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Peek into the epic touch section before u do. LOS seems to be the only real conversation going on......ever
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I had the epic touch for about 3 weeks before I traded it for my 3d. Haven't looked back since.
3VO
I have looked through their forum quite a bit and I was not impressed I just find myself missing my old Evo for screen size ...yes I k ow its the " same" but the old Evo was wider .....
Don't get me wrong the devs here are amazing virus and the others have done some amazing work. I just hope HTC sucks it up and converts to the super amoled screen at some point ... Our screen is really nice but still I really love the black blacks of the super amoled.
Also bigger screen size HTC!

Both screens have their pros and cons so neither bother me to much.

development, at least for sprint, epic touch vs evo 3d .. will probably continue to stay more heavily evo 3d ..
especially with rumors sprint will carry the next google phone ...
Not a chance. After having messed around with quite a few devices, I'd much rather have my EVO 3D.
The EVO 3D is much better.......by the way I love watching 3d movies on my phone.

The only thing I wish my Evo had was a bettter camera. Without me fiddling with it. I still think its great but crippled with some weak software. Other than that no, the Evo is a flagship phone for Sprint and will get updates from HTC. The OG Evo got froyo and gingerbread and I expect ICS and whatever is next for our 3d.

htc evo 3d repair

has anyone repaired their evo 3d? trying to get an idea if replacing the lcd with one off ebay will affect the 3d display. let me know if any of u has experience
All I know is that I watched a video of a Guy taking one apart on YouTube and it didn't seem like an easy task lol

haha yeah deff not... i would like to see a COMPLETE tear down tho, unfortunately no one has a vid to offer and i dont really trust those sites that give you instructions to take apart and repair your phone lol. biggest question is if i swap out the lcd is it gonna affect the quality of 3d images?

htc evo 3d, worth buying?

is the phone worth buying? i herd the 3d isnt all that great and there is no 3d in the ui. is there any 3d roms? would you recommend this phone?

Of course there isn't 3D in the UI. It's worth buying. It's a very capable phone and the cheapest for what you get. There are many ROMs for the EVO. Check out the development forum for more info about ROMs and development.

Sadly, no. 3D is not a very good feature - You have to be looking at it completely straight and strain your eyes just to see the 3D effect. It's not silky smooth like a moving hologram.
If you buy this phone solely for 3D, you'll end up being VERY disappointed. That said, everything else about this phone is great except for the fact that you can get the upcoming Evo LTE for $200 on a new contract. The Evo LTE looks like an insane beast of a phone. Insane beast.
Let me tell you a little story.
Actually, long story short, i hated my evo 3D, but the day i installed the official leaked ICS ROM things have changed. This phone is a complete BOMB, fast as hell, smooth as hell, no bugs, awesome 3d... man there is a day and night difference between gingerbread and ics and if you have the courage of installing a custom rom, this phone is hands down AMAZING and the best option! Heck, even the screen looks brighter on ics... i have fallen in love with my evo 3d... it's a joy to use it rather than a slow piece of **** it was with gingerbread... obviously the 3d isnt there in the ui, because if it was the battery would finish in half an hour!
Guess the story turned out to be pretty long but owell

thanks for telling me this! think im going to buy it after reading alot of reviews about it, sadly im not on contract so id never be able to afford the LTE and im in the uk so i dont think it would be avaible here
im actually not disappointed by the 3D, its an amazing wow feature for alot of my friends aswell. The 3D only exists on the photos and videos, youtube etc etc and not in the UI but even so it works really well for me
3D aside the phone is basically a sensation xe underneath so you will get alot of bang for your buck even if you never use the 3D
U can't find find, dual core with 1gb ram in under 350euros. So i think it's really good phone with good specs in low price.

I hated my evo 3d. Got it the day it came out and was never impressed. I never thought i would get any phone besides a htc until i bought the 3d. I ended up selling it and getting the e4gt and dont regret it. The only thing i miss was the higher res screen. But if u enjoy sense u might like the 3d but its too bloated and slows down the phone. The speed difference between the e4gt and the evo 3d is very noticable. And htc is in the slow lane.

I agree that 3d is not what should sell this phone, its 1,2Ghz dual core processor, 1Gb ram, decent qHd screen etc. Those was the reasons why I bought it.
But for me the 3d was very pleasant surprise. For me, there is no eye strainig. If u are watching quality made videos or movies of course.

Been on the HTC bandwagon since the 4G. The 3D isnt a huge jump as the 4G was when it came out but certainly this is the first phone I can keep longer than 2 years if I needed to. ICS brings out its potential greatly and I've even fallen back in love with the new Sense 4.0.
Also, if you like, you always run ASOP if you hate Sense. But its funny when you browse other phone's threads and see people wishing to have Sense on their Sammy devices. Makes you proud.

Lol excuse me, im far from a troll. Why would the guy just want opinions from people who like the phone. I owned the phone and I didnt like it and i told him why. Thats exactly what he was looking for the good and the bad. It has high res screen. Camera sucks on it, but it does do 3d pics and videos. Its fast but not the fastest and slowed down a lot bc of sense. Sense looks great but is a little too much for my taste. If your trying to get wii controllers connected its impossible with sense roms. Typing on it isnt as fast and responsive as it should be. Running miui on it makes you realize how fast the phone should be. But when i had the phone 3d wasnt working on aosp/miui roms so if u wanted a fast rom you lose features. I like the looks of the evo3d. I had both the black and white evo3d and more people are impressed with my white e4gt. Its bulky and heavy compared to my e4gt. Honestly the only thing i miss is the higher res screen and sometimes the 3d.

Ignore the 3D feature unless you think you will use it, as the quality is not very good when taking the 3D yourself due to it only being 2MP :-(
The rest of the spec is good, and with it (hopefully) getting ICS soon, improvements in the pretty bad Sense implementation we have now will be much improved
1GB RAM on the phone really helps out and was one of the main reason for me getting this over my O2X.
It's good for the money... but other phones now like the new HTC X are WAY ahead.
