Hey guys I just read some rumored specs over at Android Central and it sounds pretty awesome. They list a microsd slot which is important to me (and several others here). The battery is non-removable but its huge at 2,650mah. Here's the link.
HTC EVO ONE
Released June 6
4.7 inch, 720p AMOLED screen
1.5 dual-core Krait processor
2650mah non-removal battery
16GB internal memory
microSD card slot

Sorry if it was a repost, I searched and didn't see any other rumor thread that had those specs in it. Everything I had read before mentioned internal memory only with no microsd. The kickstand was new to me, as well.

Oh wow, I miss one day on the forums and miss all the good rumors. I was pretty surprised I didn't see it posted actually. I guess they were moved/nuked. My bad!
Hmm apart from the screen this doesn't feel a good enough upgrade to me.

I was thinking the same thing. The camera is the same too. Plus I was REALLY looking forward to it being quad-core like the GSM version. And the non-removable battery is a real downfall for me.

Yeah, but did you see the benchmarks from the Qualcomm S4 version. It is awesome!
Plus my undestanding is that performance of Krait (Qualcomm S4) over the Tegra 3 are close and Krait has better battery usage.

Wait....confused. The same as in the 3D? Is that what you are saying?
While this looks good, I really dont like the idea of not being able to upgrade the battery of have a spare handy.
Call me crazy but how necessary is it that these phones are hitting the highest benchmarks? I'm running MeanRom on my 3D and its fast and don't have problems running things. I don't really play many games, at least not the more intense ones, so I don't have a high demand for more power. Sure we want speed but my question here is what value are we putting on it? More power isn't bad but what I'm trying to say is there should be more improvements over the 3D than marginal at best. The 3D is better than the 4G but its not a whole new experience. The 3D feature I could do without, I just want a good camera that can be a competitor. Better battery life please? A case that doesn't feel so flimsy I'm afraid it'll break when removing the battery?
Just seems like people are primarily focused on cores and benchmarks with the idea that more = better. In all honesty if the next EVO had a camera with superb quality, impressive battery life, better screen, and ICS I wouldn't care if they kept the same CPU.

... would this still be the phone to get over the SGSII? I'm not talking about sense vs touchwiz, i'm talking about raw power. How would the two phones compare running a stable nearly identical CM7? Can anyone (NO BIAS please) explain to me which phone has better capabilities?
I know I'm getting WAYY ahead of myself, but i'm still deciding IF HTC responded to their customers and unlocked the bootloader if I would get the EVO 3D or still wait for the SGSII, considering I'm sticking with either one for the next two years.
I've heard people say the SGSII has better raw power-- on the SGSII forum
I've also heard the some of you on this forum say the EVO 3D is better. Obviously, there is some bias involved and one phone is more powerful than the other.
I actually have some hope that HTC might do something about the bootloader. If this is the case, I have a really tough decision on which phone to still get. As for now, if the bootloader remains unlocked, its SGSII all the way

seriously why does it even matter? Say one phone is faster than the other. The specs are so close together that any speed difference would barley even be noticeable on a side by side. The difference would be nothing if you didn't have both phones in hand.
Really I think the biggest difference would be the UI, so debate sense vs touchwiz
Why does it matter what phone is faster?? Well thats a stupid question
more speeeeed! I need to open my yelp FASTER....FASTER!!!!! Ya. In the end I'd find a way to underclock the thing because battery life > all

No, it's a valid question and jessejames makes a very good point ... the specs are so close that any speed difference would be negligible from a user standpoint, especially if you're not actually doing a side-by-side comparison.
I'd even go so far as to say that the effective data rate differences between the various 4G transmission standards will have significantly more of an effect on apparent phone response times in many applications than any actual benchmark differences between the two phones.
I feel like the EVO 3d isn't much of an improvement over the EVO. Downgrade in camera department and no full 1080p recording. And still skimping on internal storage...not sure if the 3d screen is worth losing those other features....
I think ima wait for the sgs2 since the EVO 3d is the same as my EVO with a 3d screen and slightly better performance
After seeing the sgs2 vs HTC sensation it makes me wonder about the snapdragon processor....it doesn't compare in those performance test

Bump the processing power from 1Ghz to 1.2Ghz then double it, double the ram, bump the resolution to qHD, shoot 1080p in 2D, 720p in 3D, and that's not much of an upgrade from the original EVO?

Yea I believe what I wrote. I feel that HTC had to skimp out on **** to give us a 3d sscreen. If I could get the sensation on sprint then I'd get that. Better camera, more internal storage. Guess I'm not caught up in the 3d hype. Bought a 3d TV and only seen one movie in 3d on it.

I do believe you are just misinformed. The EVO is the Sensation just with 3d added. They both have a SLCD qhd display. Also, just because the Sensation's camera is 8mp does not mean it is better. The EVO is 8mp and the camera is much worse then many other phones that are 5mp.
You need to do some more research as far as MP's are concerned as well as the comparing the Sensation to the EVO 3d.
I believe I was very nice with my response. Other's might not be this kind to you. lol

Your basing camera quality on MPs. That's your first mistake, HTC has stated the camera on the E3D is much improved over the original evo. Why? Better lens, hardware, etc. MPs don't matter as much as you would like to believe. The 5MP camera on the iPhone is a perfect example. More on board storage would be nice but with 32GB mSD available and 64GB on the way I'm not too worried about it. Storage has never been an issue for me in the past and it won't be in the future.
Tapa tapa tapa
OP, its going to come down to personal preference. Both of these phones have monstrous specs and will perform quote similarly. They both have rock star CPUs and GPUs and will be very closely matched in performance.

If you are even familiar with the actual specs--which it sounds like you definitely are not--then you have absolutely no understanding of what they mean.
This phone is a beast. Any performance difference between the two will be negligible bone-stock and even more negligible modded to the teeth.
Tell us, what did they "skimp out" on? The asynchronous dual core 1.2gHz cpu? The kick-ass new adreno gpu? the qHD screen that just so happens to also do 3D? A GIGABYTE of ram? Over a certain amount internal storage means absolutely nothing to anybody who knows better, and Evo3D is far past this amount.
Not to mention HTC build quality and dev community (now with official mfgr support). I would accuse you of holding specs in too high a regard over other more important things...but I don't think you even understand the specs enough to be doing that.
Someone gave you some koolaide and you drank it. You love koolaide.

This is yet another portion of your mis-information. You realize the two screens have differing resolutions, correct? Not a little difference either, but a vast 35% pixel difference. The Adreno 220 is I believe more powerful then the SGS2's gpu, but is also doing 35% more work with the higher pixel count that qHD brings to the table.
Also, pure processing tests did not show the sensation as weaker, it got what, 46MFLOPS? Not to mention the dual core is much more efficient on battery life then the tegra2 was.
Your points are all invalid as you simply don't include all the variables that create the differences.
Edit: I want to add my post was not meant as a defense of the E3D, as I'm personally seriously considering the SGS2 solely for its slenderness. But when you see posts that full of one sided information and wrong conclusions it's only natural to respond.
Simple question. How many of you are truly disappointed in the EVO 3D and consider it a downgrade to the original EVO? Why?
Edit:I'm not one of the people who think it is a downgrade. I have seen several people say it and I wanted to know why they think so.

It does kind of suck. I mean nothing that it does poorly, just not worth the money. It has almost no features over the Evo 4G and get much worse battery life. That and the charging port is in a stupid location. No HDMI meow, kind of. 4GB storage, what a laughable and BS spec. I do LOVe me some camera button though!

The EVO 3d is better than my OG EVO in every way possible.
Wow, I bet you think the EVO was a downgrade from the hero too.
USB port location blows. Aspect ratio blows. Stuck with Sense, which blows. Performance and battery life on par with my modded EVO4G, which was great on the 4G, but, for a new $700 phone blows...(I only paid $24)...The camera is better than the 4G, but still not stellar. 720p framerate still blows, though the audio is way better and in stereo...
But on the plus side? Now I have 2 cameras I'll never use on my phone, lockscreen is rad, and 3D headaches! Camera button is boss tho.
lol, srsly I love the phone...I can live with the charging port and I'll come to terms with the horrible aspect ratio thanks to the killer resolution...though that is what I hate the most.

Not to mention upgraded wireless capabilities. The charging port location is subjective. Idk what "No HDMI meow" means but the charging port is compatible with an MHL adapter. And regardless of what is adverstised for the storage (that's another debate) what we actually get to use stock is about double what we got from the Evo 4G stock...
To all you clowns saying the camera is a downgrade from the 4g, take it up with this guy.

I suggest returning your phone then, the performance is significantly better than the EVO 4G. I have the 3D and the 4G and the 3D is way better, especially with the battery. My dad has a EVO 3D and the thing lasts him all day with just browsing the internet and checking emails... I don't know how you are experiencing bad battery because mine has been awesome compared to my EVO 4G. If people are going to complain so much about the phone, then return it! Were all still under the 30 day return policy.

Opinions please, and spare me the n00b talk I understand all of this.
What I'm most concerned about it battery life, reviews all say it sucks. What are your opinions?
I have the amaze, sensation, and g2x. Battery life isn't any better on one then the other. The sensation has the worse screen of the three. The camera on the g2x is the worse of the three. Other then that they seem pretty close as far as everything else goes. I can go in to much greater detail but that's the basics. Of course this is imo.

Just based on build quality alone, screw Samsung. I've owned 4 of their devices (loved the screen) but they are cheap and tacky plastic...not worth the money you'd spend on them.

Kinda getting ahead of yourself with no price or date announcement for Tmo no ?
After playing with both Amaze > SGS2. Screen clarity and camera speed were definitely better. SGS2 ALOT lighter and thinner...Amaze was very brickish.
Dev community for Amaze seems like it will definitely be second fiddle.

Exactly what I thought
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I am personally think it would be as simple as
Galaxy Nexus (NFC, Barometer, Face-unlock ICS)
Amaze (expandable sd card, sweet camera/video, Sense)
The sensation is old news and the SGS2 is just wishing it was as good as a Amaze (build design of course)
Not even a question. Why wait for ICS when you have a chance at the GN?
GN all the way IMO.
Powered by a G2x

that actually does help, i have the g2x right now, i love the screen, ips displays are great. and the battery life isnt bad on this one, but in your opinion its pretty close?

I came from the G2x, but haven't had any of the other phones. I think the battery consumption might be *slightly* higher with this phone, but not like "OMG my power!!!" bad. The way I see it, the devs will get it on par or better than my G2x was regardless.
From a screen and build perspective, the Amaze takes it hands down.

Just based on build quality alone, screw Samsung. I've owned 4 of their devices (loved the screen) but they are cheap and tacky plastic...not worth the money you'd spend on them.

I couldn't agree more. I must have spent over an hour playing with both the SGS2 and the Amaze, and I simply couldn't stand the Samsung. It felt way too light, and "cheap", as others have described it. And to think I had gone in with the expectation of walking out with the Samsung.

Amaze has nfc too
What is the use of barometer, my xoom has, but what it use for? Nothing..
All these new flashship phone will all have icecream.
I just low my amaze alot, because of the touch and feel of it.
Really high quality and sharp screen
Spent a month and a half with the epic touch gs2 and I have to say that it does not compare to the amaze. They just feel too damn cheap! Only thing it does better in my opinion is quadrant scores but who gives a crap,lol. If you want to feel like your holding 300$ get the amaze, well worth it.

Battery Life is very poor. Buy a power skin if you really use your phone...especially as a 4G Data connection in lieu of a USB 4G Stick

Not all of us are experiencing the same battery life issues. So....your mileage may vary.
Hey guys sup!!!
Anyway, Tmo US is bringing in the HTC One S. Wondering what you guys think about it. Is it worth to switch, or just keep the amaze? I went form htc sensation to htc amaze in 1 month, now i'm not sure if i should do the same and switch to htc one s.....
if it were the htc one x with quad proc then should be a no brainer, but TMO US the way they are argghh, just don't get why they didn't get the htc one x instead....
any thoughts??? Also, I believe the galaxy note is now workable in TMO US, as someone here got it to work with a different radio....
I wouldn't, if people think battery life on the amaze sucks, it'll probably be worse on the one s because it has a smaller capacity battery, as for me the upgrades are very nice but not quite worth it to switch from the amaze. I don't like how OEMS are starting to remove the search button, its something i use all the time.
the fact that it has a non removable battery and no expandable memory are the killers for me. hell, i dont like the fact the amaze has an internal sd, but its tolerable
I agree, too soon to switch. Dev. is picking up and once the release of 'you know what' comes out it'll be a free for all. Nobody is working on 2.3 anymore, its the calm before the storm. I see lots of good things on the next couple of months for the amaze
If you don't care about not being able to pull your battery or increase your sdcard storage then upgrade.
Not being able to install a bigger sdcard and not being able to pull the battery are deal breakers for me. 16gb of storage is not enough for me. I'm already past 16gb on my 32gig. Not being able to pull the battery also means you won't be able to replace it with a better extended life one. We all know stock android batteries suck ass.
In my opinion, the one s is not much better than the amaze. Besides sense 4.0 it gots nothing else on the amaze and almost nothing at all when the amaze receives the official ics update.

One series has a kill switch instead of a removable battery (so u can mimick a batt pull, but can't replace a shot battery ) and the no removable/expandable memory is a DEFINITE buzzkill... But it does come with internal storage and that Dropbox hack built in for an extra 23 GB
Either way, I think its ugly and I love my amaze... I'll wait

I remember when I got my hero, I upgraded from a touch diamond, and I was blown away at the screen. That's what an upgrade should feel like, I look at my old one and then the new one, and you can definitely tell that there's an improvement. With today's phones, unless you're buying something that's got a 3D projection on it or something beamed straight to your brain, I think trying to top what we've already got is going to be pretty damn hard. 1080P? I can't notice much of a difference.

I think you would notice it on a 4.7 inch screen. Hell, my mytouch has a 3.8 in hdpi screen and I can tell a difference between that phone and my amaze. Maybe you need glasses?
The One S is a lot faster than the amaze.. supposedly ~60% increase clock for clock based on the new "s4" snapdragon. But that probably isn't enough of a reason to jump ship unless you have a lot of money you want to burn. The screen is also kind of weak on the One S. Hopefully tmobile gets a version of the X.
It has ics and suppose to be faster but can't upgrade the battery or memory i would pass

I said much of a difference. The current screens are very good nowadays anyway, the differences are miniscule. And I already wear glasses
btw, samsung can kiss my ass!
1080p on a 4.7 screen would be so pointless.. it would also be laggy, much more than 720p. even wvga looks decent on the titan, qhd look good, 720p looks amazing, thats a waste of tech/money lol. just my 2 cents.. most people that have normal human eyes don't notice a difference between 720/1080 unless the screen is around, or above 50"
samsung hasnt released a superamoled plus screen with anything above wvga as of now anyways, i dont see why or how they would jump to 1080p. unless they have been working on something for a quite a while
I don't get why some of you like to drop so much cash on new phones that do the same thing. Talk about wasting money.
From what I've read on the engadget review, the amaze has a better camera for stills. Plus once ics hops along we should be getting better battery life and performance.

I agree, I had to wait for a tax refund to buy my amaze, had the G2 for a year before getting the amaze and that was only because it was free with a new account. I'll stick with it for awhile now, I love tech but I don't find a need or have the cash to upgrade every 6 months when some l "cutting edge" device comes out.
Once some "other" things happen for amaze it'll be even more of a beast.
Sent from the Morgue!
I also agree on not wasting money. My mytouch lasted me over a year, before that my 9700 was two years.
I will be sticking with this one for awhile. Least a year. 6 months is to fast, lol!

I Really want to get a new HTC phone so i could get rid of my blackberry. I used to have a touchpro 2 and loved it!
so ive been researching both the rezound and one X but i can't come to a conclusion of which one to get... just looking for some opinions.
Thanks
One x I have the rezound and I love it but it wont get sense 4 and the one x has better specs
Sent from my iPad HD! using Tapatalk
Are you in the US? If so, you're saddled to AT&T and we all know AT&T is a Rezounding failure. Verizon isn't picking up a "One" phone that we know of ... so unless Sense 4.0 is a deal breaker...Rezound all the way

We already haz sense4 thanks to newts OnE XxX rom. Also, I am not ready to turn in my microSD card or removable battery. Rezound kicks butt and for on $49 everyone should get one or ten.
Well i live in Canada and I should beable to buy the phone unlocked correct?

It won't get Sense 4.0 officially, but developers are already working on Sense 4.0 with ICS 4.0.3 and it's a day or two from being released as a daily driver.
Even then the One X is a quad-core phone, there's no reason not to get it.
Although I don't like the white.

This is the reason the rezound wins. Even with a tegra 3 it doesn't sway me to get the one x (Also because they haven't announced a flavor for Verizon)

Honestly, do you really think you'll notice the difference between the S3 and S4 in daily use(if you're getting it American)? I'd rather have a 4.3 inch screen with 720p, than the gigantic 4.7, its nicer, and plus we have removable battery and sdcard space, a huge plus. The Rezound can run sense 4 perfectly fine, HTC just wants the one series to be their main money makers.

That could be a problem. I don't think you'll have much luck using the rexound up there. Its not a global phone and even though it has GSM radios, people are having a hard time with data and SMS outside of Verizon. I'd get the one x.

I don't care what a new phone does if you can't take the battery out.
Those are two really good reasons that nobody wants a nexus.
Performance wise, it won't be the deal breaker, since the dual core pretty much handles everything smoothly unless google optimize the next generation os with quad-core. Bigger engine doesn't always run faster and more efficient , especially in this high gas price age.

The nexus has a removable battery.
I don't mind the whole not.having an sd card thing. I'll be honest, it didn't bother me one bit. It takes five minutes to copy all the files over to your computer, and with the WiFi file transfer apps, its even shorter.
I definitely wouldn't base my decision of which phone to buy on whether there is a removable ad card. Unless someone can explain some great features that I simply haven't found yet.
With that said, the rezound is an awesome phone while amazing hardware. I absolutely love it
Sent from my rooted HRC Rezound
If you are on GSM I would do ONE X all the way.
If I were buying a new phone I'd probably buy a Lumia 900. But since there will probably never be a VZW version, I guess I'll stick with the Rezound!

Even if Google optimizes the OS for quad cores, it'll only help for the actual Android system itself, not any of the apps you use, half the apps in the Play Store only use 1 core anyway and won't probably ever change that since it's not needed. (Facebook for example, Pandora, etc)
The S4 is a beast processor, best available, Tegra 3 is good for pure power but probably nothing else, I'd hold off on it honestly if you're rocking anything in the past few months.
Now if the One S came to Verizon with a S4 in it, that'd be a better debate.
