Hey everyone! I currently have the EVO 3D, and I was about to switch to the EVO 4G LTE, but then I saw the Samsung Galaxy S3. It looks amazing, but then again, I really like HTC Sense. What's your vote on both of these phones?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
EVO Pros:
Dedicated Camera Button
Kickstand
Available May 18th (Sad, sad, sad.)
SGS3 Pros:
+100mAH size battery
Removable battery
Tossup:
Screen (SuperIPSLCD2 vs Pentile Super AMOLED)
Screen Size (4.7 vs 4.8)
Sense vs Stockwiz
Camera (Better lowlight photos vs newer sensor model)
GPU/Processor (100% same on US variants)
Design (Most would say the EVO is better designed)
No stated release date for Sprint's SGS3 variant.
SGS3 Pros:
S-off
There's no reason to believe the EVO 4G LTE won't get S-off eventually though, I hope.

If you're asking that question in a 4glte thread then you should get the gs3
I wonder which has the best camera, anyone has camera comparison on these devices or reviews of their camera and camera software, please share link
GS3 us version is said to be dual core 1.5 with 2 gigs of ram equals game over to the evo lte that still has not landed officially,2 gigs of ram would be more than amazing for androids power hungry os even tho tw does not drain as much as sense.

The SGS3 doesn't have S-Off; that's an HTC only deal. It doesn't even have a bootloader, technically. That's what Odin is for. It's a huge pita for switching between stock and AOSP roms. I don't know how well mobile Odin works because it wasn't out when I had my Fascinate, but we'll have S-Off soon.

Not to mention that Odin doesnt play well with us mac users.

He's been trolling around all HTC phones' forums telling people how much "better" the Samsuck Plasticky s3 is. Pathetic.
To the OP: Wait till the S3 comes out to the US, go to the store and try them both. There's no point asking other people's opinions. Doesnt matte which one you pick it will be able to
- make phone calls
- send text messages
- watch videos
- take photos
- surf the internet
- play games
You will be happy.
I don't care if the s3 has quad core a15 lte and 4 gigs of ram that is the ugliest piece of plastic I've ever seen... Just my opinion. And the blue one is purple

It doesn't work at all with odin. You have to have a windows PC or windows running on your mac. I had a problem with a GNEX and had to find a windows pc (one I had buried in storage that barely works) in order to fix that phone. Real pay.
Honestly using a mac for fastboot commands is real easy, but and .exe root, program (like odin), etc will not work on a mac.
That being said...here is what I base my opinion on. I have owed the following phones in the following order. OG Evo-> Evo 3d (disappointment) -> epic 4g touch (cool phone, horrible radios, etc) -> iphone 4s (7 months...great phone honestly, but iOS really got on my nerves) -> GNEX (great stock experience...but the screen and horrible battery life resulted in me re-selling it two weeks later) -> Evo LTE
The epic 4g touch was fast...and I gave it to my fiancee because it she loved the screen, and I got the iphone 4s. Well, the epic always gave us radio/cell signal problems. Sprint even credited my account $50 for it once and promised a fix. That fix never came. About a month back my fiancee was in a bad accident and could not call out to 911 due to no signal bug in the phone. I was pissed...and sprint gave her an upgrade, free of charge and a year and a half early, as a result. She is getting the Evo Lte as well...as soon as wirefly gets it to here. The GS3 may not have this problem...but it is a samsung and they often do, but I am not trying to bash it. I know my fiancee refuses to own a samsung now. I would never go that far....
But the Evo 4g LTE is hands down the best phone I have EVER owned. Better than the epic 4g touch, and it blows away the iphone 4s (which was better than the epic tough in my opinion). The screen is amazing, the radio (signal and 3g speeds) are great. The camera is fantastic (I did my own indepth experiment with the iphone 4s and evo lte..and the evo lte beat the iphone in every category including the camera). The battery life best my iphone 4s, and is what android has need for a long time. This phone has a few minor software bugs, but these will no doubt be fixed. Plus, if you are into roms, etc...this phone will not fail you. Some of the best devs I have ever seen are migrating here...plus the evo community is moving this way. The evo community is a shining example of what you want in a developer community for a phone. What is even better is this...you don't even need to root this phone unless you want to. It is the complete package out of the box.
I made the mistake of buying the galaxy nexus off ebay...and the screen and even more so the battery life made it unsuitable for my needs. Therefore I sold it (recouping the money) and sold the iphone 4s (shipped it today)...and still payed about full upgrade cost for this phone (got it off ebay for 550). I am not one to spend my money like that...I am rather tight (ask my fiancee)...but this was well work the cost. Is the Evo LTE $200 better than the iphone 4s? If you want a simple, iconic phone...then no. But the ability's of android combined with the screen size and quality alone made the Evo LTE worth the cost and more.
I say go get this phone. If you wait for the GS3...it will be great too...but no better than this phone. Plus, there is always something better around the corner. If there is a big advantage IOS has over android, it is the yearly refresh. Eliminates buyer remorse, etc.

Any Samsung phone. They have an interface for Odin, which is really the bootloader, but it's a program you run on a Windows box. There is no actual bootloader on a Samsung smartphone, just the interface for Odin.

Well Mobile Odin took out the need for a computer almost completely. Only time I actually needed to use a pc was to initially root & to unroot/return to stock before I sold back to BB.

Knowing a lot people here and some.new, while we wait for root I would like to.know what phone you guys have? And why choose the EVO 3D ?
I had the EVO and thundebolt ( okay a lot with phones , I owned and epic , nexus s , and iPhone 4 )
I wasn't sure to get this phone but my EVO screen broke and i didn't have my insurance no more ( took it off last month ) and sprint didn't want to replace it cause it was bigger then an inch, a supervisor.and a person from canceling deparment moved my upgrade from January 2012 to this month so i got it and so far is good no problems just waiting for root but the phone is really good so I don't.miss root as much, what's your story ?

To add to the story though, I talked about this phone from the first announcement until release date and the wifey got really annoyed. Picked up the phone on release date and brought it home that evening at which point she spent 5 minutes with it and asked if she could replace her htc hero with the e3d. I then called up the sprint store to make sure they had some. luckily they had one left so we immediately went over and picked it up.

Oh man, sorry you had to go though that. Some moments over-stay their welcome.
I had the OG EVO & I bought the EVO 3D because I wanted better graphics, power, the camera button, to flaunt the newness + 3D & 3 cameras, the QHD resolution, Official Sense 3.0 + eventual Ice Cream Sandwich (to feed my "must have latest w/ cake" bug) & another HTC made handset.

I can only imagine having a hero and playing with a e3d ..I'd wanna throw it out the window ..that's a big jump..the hero drove me crazy even when it was one of the better offerings at the time..I think the 3d has tons of potential and will be even more of a speed demon
I came from a iPhone 3gs and At&t (when the iPhone was dominant). once my contract was up I left At&t and went to Sprint again with my sister and got the EVO 3d. Its not a major improvement to my sisters rooted EVO but it sure is to my old iPhone. I mean this thing has flash and I can actually makes calls with it . I can't wait until I get to flash some Roms on this bad boy.

Yeah the app store was the only thing holding me back but at least they have some good games like Plants VS Zombies and Nova 2 at the Market, I even have double Twist as my default music player. I knew that you could customize android but its pretty amazing how customizable it really is, from different launchers to different widgets. It's all better than the iPhone.

Repost:
I started with the original palm pre two years ago.
I absolutely adored the OS, and still do, especially when filecoaster first appeared and the homebrew scene really took off.
Android was still in its infancy back then and the iPhone never held too much appeal for me, especially since I'm big on real keyboards and actual tactility.
Blackberry was a no go for me, windows mobile natch.
So I switched carriers to Sprint from Verizon and to the palm pre from the LG enV.. I swear that dumbphone still has one of the best keyboards I've ever used!
I love the navigational and UI metaphors of webOS. I love the intuitiveness and simplicity of the gestures.
Love the notification system and ability to see and use then even while the screen is locked. I also love the status/menu bar up top, giving you quick access to system/app options.
Really just a pleasure to use.
The customizability of the OS is phenomonal and the loosely centralized nature of the homebrew community with webOS internal serving as the main pillar. Preware is unmatched in the mobile homebrew landscape. Nothing comes close.
That being said, HP/palm gave us early adopters a thorough shafting and with no pre3 in sight for Sprint, I used my upgrade to move on to the HTC EVO 3d after my umpteenth pre- went the way of the dodo.
It's a wonderful piece of hardware and while I may not necessarily find Android to be the in the same class as best of breed OS that is webOS, the superior hardware options on Sprint all lead to Android.
Wp7 is still nascent and while it is somewhat attractive and interesting, the phones currently available haven't really caught my eye and again, my timetable for choosing a new phone was limited so i couldn't afford to wait til fall for a wp7 mango handset refresh.
I'm very satisfied with my 3vo and am pleased to not suffer from the same issues seemingly plaguing a very vocal portion of 3vo owners.
If the Motorola photon launches within my 30 day window, I may look into it as I originally had my eyes set on that piece of tech but my underestimation of the 3vo has been wildly exceeded.

I usually upgrade phones more frequently than the average user, but I had the Evo for the longest that I've stayed with a phone in years. The Evo 4G really was, and still is, and amazing phone. If it were not for the 3D, then I would still be happily rocking the Evo 4G. My top 3 reasons for going with the 3D was for the processor, screen resolution, and more RAM. While the 3D feature was intriguing, I really didnt expect it to work all that great. I must say that I was really blown away after watching a couple youtube videos in 3D and then watching The Green Hornet. The images really do come out away from the screen further than some tv's do.

I love the rezound it is an awesome phone. If you like androids you will love it. My wife just switched to a rezound from an iphone 4 and she loves it. I upgraded from an evo 3d and it is a way better phone.
I've been with android since the very beginning with the G1 and the REZOUND is without a doubt the best phone I have ever owned. Not only is it the most powerful phone currently on the market it but it has great battery life that can easily get me through a full day of medium usage. The phone is even better now that HTC has unlocked the bootloader and a ton of ROMS have been released by developers. Plus, an early ICS build has been released which could lead to a stable ICS release in the coming weeks so overall I couldn't be any happier with this phone!
Yes, best there is right now. I switched from android to the iphone and now "I'm back in the saddle again."
Thanks for the feed back. I'm still researching this phone but I am stoked about getting an Android phone again. I was a luanch customer on the EVO 4G and then switched to Verizon on the Thunderbolt. I got a fancey stereo for my car and of course it was iPhone ready so to get all the goodies my new stereo would do I switch to an IPhone. I have decided the iPhone is just not worth having for my car stereo so back to Android I go.
I have a Nook Color and a HP Touchpro (running android of course) so yea...Im and Android junky and a flashaholic!!!

don't hesitate if you don't have to, it's the best phone on VZW right now, imho
No, you're not making a mistake. Yes, the Rezound is the right choice!
The screen is gorgeous. There's a bit of an issue with color/tint in taking pics but the clarity and sharpness is amazing. Text is clear and crisp.
The dev section is going crazy since HTC unlocked it and now there's an ICS leak that people are working on.
Personally I like Sense a lot but there are ROMs without it available.
4g.
16gb internal and 16gb external removable sd card which can be upgraded to a 64gb card and confirmed working. That's an 80gb phone!
Wirefly currently has this phone at $99.99 for new contract or additional line.
I love it. If you like Android I'm sure you will too.
from the OG droid to a dx to the rezound it is by FAR the best phone I've owned. I've also had a chance to use/test drive a gnex and razr and i can honestly say that i don't have ONE bit of regret getting the rezound over those two. In after thought it was really a no brainer actually.

I asked this same question when I got rid of my DX2. I have never been happier with a phone ever. I love this thing more than I loved my OG Droid, and I nearly cried when I got rid of that. This phone is beyond amazing, and with all the new work on ICS that's coming up, you're jumping in at the perfect time.
another positive review
I too came from a x2, and was also an OG early adopter.
This phone kicks ass! The screen is unbelievable, the dev possibilities are endless, the beats makes a BIG difference on the audio! I was just getting into modding my x2...and once I (finally) learn my way around this one, the sky's the limit!
RUN , don't walk, to Verizon and sign on the dotted line! Lol
If price is an object, then yes, the Rezound is great for the price.
If price is not of concern, I don't see why you would not go with the Galaxy Nexus.
I don't think the Rezound is bad, but turning down consistent updating from Google, more after market customization and less difficulty rooting or doing any custom ROM, the galaxy nexus is Verizon's Best Phone, bar none.
That being said, go with what you like the best. Try them out, and go with what you like the most.

Because the galaxy nexus has the worst antenna issues I have ever experienced. Screen is pentile amoled that gives it a nasty blue tint. People have been reporting burn in on the screen. Need I go on?

It's a great phone with a few quirks:
Many are plagued with overheating issues, my first one was but my second works fine.
The design of the screen allows the LEDs to shine up from the bottom and annoys some but I don't notice it often unless I'm watching video in the dark. This can be solved by installing screen filter and turning off the LEDs.
Stock battery sucks if you're a heavy user and on stock ROM or kernel. Development is just getting going and it's getting better.
Color balance of camera is off, most of the time you need to keep it on incandescent to get accurate pictures.
All the above are quirks and you can get over however the main problem is the audio hissing/whining/feedback when headphones are plugged in. Ironic that a beats phone has music issues lol.
Speaking of beats its a gimmick and I find equalizer (the app) does a much better job for a variety of music.
Pros are the following:
Amazing screen and full HD videos on it look amazing. High ppi ftw! Plus it is a full rgb display and not pentile like the razr.
Sense integration, love it or hate it. I don't love it but I really like it and because the hardware is so good it isn't laggy at all and love the contact and widgets.
While not the thinnest phone it feels really great in the hand. Ergonomically speaking much nicer to hold and pocket than the razr for comparison.
ISC should be coming soon as rezound is part of first release update. I think sometime in February.
Lock screen shortcuts (because of sense 3.5) are really handy
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Stop the lies in here about the Nexus......the Rezound is a nice phone.....that's it. It is NOT a superior device. Its the same old phone HTC has been selling for years with a dual core and over packed PPI. The most bloated UI of any phone and I read a earlier post about the "most powerful handset on the market"..????....seriously? Where are these specs at? This is terribly misleading information that is OPINION. This is one of many DECENT phones on the market.

This may sound like my other thread, but I thought I should recreate a similar one now that we have the Evo One's specs.
I'm on the fence between the two devices and don't know which one to get. The leaked HTC Evo One specs/shots are a let down, but still sound like a really big improvement. Also, the camera is supposedly better than the 4s's camera.
And then there's the SGSIII. I don't know anything about it yet, but will the development really be that bad? The SGSII was way better than the Evo 3D to me but I stuck with the 3D because of the development.
I think it's safe to assume though that the SGSIII will have an amazing screen.
Which one are you guys going to choose? Hopefully if I can see what the majority will get, I and others will know what to also get.

Nah, you're just like everyone else here on XDA. I can't go a year without a phone before getting a new one.
Yeah, I suppose. I don't get how I stayed with my old feature phone for two years now that I look back...lol.

How about posting the specs for both in the OP so people can compare on facts instead of opinions on the current phones?

It would make it biased towards the Evo One (which I have to admit, it already is) if I posted it's specs and not the SGS3's since it doesn't even have specs. This was really more of a thread to ask if people are getting the Evo One or are they skipping it.

This is true but there are "rumored" specs floating around. Quad-core Exnyos for example.
Personally I'm undecided, these 2.17 roms on the 3D kick ass, making Sense a pleasure to use again.

Yes, and the rumored processor is a quad core 4412 which is the same one used in the GS2, except this one would be quad core. Still gonna suck in battery. And the other rumor was 1080p HD screen, which is also false based on the GS3 going into testing and the screen being used is 720 HD Samoled, like the GS2.
To many rumours and not enough facts. The reason the s2 got more dev support than the 3d is simple. Alot more people own one. All i know is my 3d will kick the crap out of any phone stuck on 3g especially sprints lol. I get great wimax right outside of nashville. I wont even dream of doing anything till lte goes live here which we are scheduled in the 2nd round this year. I wanna see some results from that first! The s3 could pull me away if i like it enough dunno? I dont always trust reviews though. Everyone claims how awesome the s2 screen is blah blah blah. My partner has epic 4g touch and i love size and feel. HATE TOUCHWIZ!! Screen? Maybe im blind but side by side the evo clearly is better picture but my opinion. My evo rooted his s2 is not. I definately have to juice my evo up a tad to be even. Id say 10-15% more power his phone has but I can overclock and easily beat him. With chads kernel i can easily reach 4000 quadrant which is not alot less than one x stock. Im also on gb and not ics so like i said its not terribly far off. Which device will i choose and i will buy one by year end? Honestly im thinking by time lte gets here which will be septemberish the new nexus will by a blink away and rumours of it will be what s3 is now. Im huge htc fan so dont hate when i tell yall this but this phone htc just released? Will not beat what apple has coming sorry....im most likely to pass unless something goofy happens.

Even if the official specs for the SGS3 came to light, I would still choose the EVO LTE due to the massive developer support.

yeah really pointless to discuss the SGS3 until AFTER their event of announcing its specs....And still even after the event your going to have to hope that Sprint is getting it at launch with same specs as I wouldn't be surprised if they do the whole world release and then Sprint doesn't get it for another 4 months like the last one...unless they do that truly world release on all carriers at launch....though that would be a first...
And also whats to say the Sprint version isn't somewhat different than the regular GSIII like the GS2 and Epic 4G Touch differ now?...E4GT has bigger screen and 4 buttons unlike the regular GS2...
just wayyyy too many variables out there right now to even think of comparing the two or making a full blown decision if you are debating the GSIII...esp when you toss in 2 totally different SoC's being rumored for the GSIII...too many variables
You do know the sgs3 doesn't exist...

tbh, I would stick with the GNEX. I have a GNEX and Rezound on my account, along with other phones, and while I like my rezound, I find the GNEX more desirable for my likes. AOKP and AOSP on the GNEX being the most desirable to me. Both phones function well though, but the development for the GNEX is far larger in scale.
Plus, and this may just be luck, but I just sent in for my 2nd replacement phone for the Rezound. My son has yet to return his GNEX.

It really all depends, I know someone who went through 4 Gnex's before getting a totally different phone. Every phone has it's issues, and a group of lemons.
And with that being said, with upcoming plans for s-off and AOSP development for the Rezound, I'd say it's gonna be just as good, if not better.
hardware and screen is too sooky for me to trade but IMO its a Great idea to trade it.

I hear you, and thats why I said it might have been luck, but I'm only commenting on my own personal experience with the two phones. As for AOKP and AOSP, I hope it does become a "stable" reality for the Rezound, but until I see it, I really can't mention it as a plus for the rezound.

overall it was 35-36 hrs on one charge.
Well I had the Rezound,returned for Gnex and now I'm trading it again for a Rezound,so I'll break it down like a few others said in the the thread
Gnex= Pure google experience,unlocked and root ready
Rezound=music lovers,different Rom variety,sense UI lovers
Had a GNex for a week, traded it in for a Rezound. Issues for me were mostly poor 3G/4G reception (and I tried every radio out there) and crappy battery life. Extended battery cleared that issue up, but it was quite bulky. Lovin' my Rezound.
Rezound is the better phone.
Better screen(gnex has screen burn in).
Removable storage
Better reception
Doesn't drop data connection like gnex
Better camera by far front and back
Beats audio with matching ear buds.
Better hardware. T.I Omap CPU is crap
Soon to have s-off so aosp is near
Owned both and rezound is just a better phone imo

Better screen(gnex has screen burn in). -(opinion; I like the GN screen better)
Removable storage -(I've never had to remove my sd from any of my previous phones)
Better reception -(possibly, but I never drop calls and I always have a signal)
Doesn't drop data connection like gnex -(My GN has NEVER dropped data)
Better camera by far front and back -(both cameras are comparable)

I do own both phones. I like both and I'm not bashing the Rez, but I still prefer my GN. The main thing I hate on my Rezound (besides the obvious gripes) is the pink softkeys. It's embarrassing lol.

Rezound is unequivocally the better phone. Stock Android is unequivocally the better UI. Take your pick I guess. The screen and camera are dealbreakers for me with the Nexus. That camera is embarrassing for a flagship phone.
The screen factor isn't a matter of opinion, the rezound hands down has the better screen, same exact resolution, higher pixel density... it's proven. All other factors are pretty much a matter of opinion though, 5mp v 8mp, Snapdragon S3 v TI OMAP, screen size, etc. It's all personal preference. Personally I'd take both of them, but I'm happy with my rezound for now. Really wouldn't mind the One X or the SGS3 though.
And if we'd have seen both of these phones drop with ICS on them outta the box, just one with AOSP and one with Sense 3.6, the game woulda been different from the start.
Personally I think Samsung and HTC need to work together on the next Nexus phone, HTC design, Samsung internals, Google software. Call it the Google Nexus Galaxy One.
I have to agree the camera is horrible and to even say they are comparable is silly. The gnex takes ok pics in good lighting. Rezoubd takes good pics in most conditions. Not great but a lot better than the gnex.

I know everybody wants to switch to a new phone, and one of the reasons is the newest htc camera is so much better than anything else...or is it? Maybe waiting one more generation is the way to go.....http://www.gsmarena.com/pureview_blind_test-review-773.php
This thread says otherwise
well of course it does, they all own the phone and they are coming from older phones. Fact is no one in the 1000 people sampled could pick out the htc photos. Well maybe thats a good thing?
There is alot more to a smartphone than its camera, the evo 3d is the exception because 3d is the headline feature.....point being HTC has designed a good phone (albeit with a few niggles for a selected bunch of models), The camera is the cherry on the cake, now people can decide if they want the whole experience i.e. the cake, or just the cherry i.e. the standout feature from the proverbial or literal sh**

That might not be true, actually cell phones are so much alike that one phone having a much better camera than the others might turn out to be it's biggest feature. At any given moment there might be almost as many people taking pictures with a cell phone as there are making a call, heck a lot of people just text or use it for web surfing.
I think the real question here is, what camera would meet YOUR standards? There are a lot of people out there who say the camera is raising the bar, and obviously, you're a skeptic. Am I right?

I would love to have the lte\one x camera on my evo3d, i'm not that great at taking pictures and would like to get better. I just like to read and found the camera comparison to be quite interesting. Maybe I should have said camera great but not the greatest? Let me add one thing, is there anyone who wouldn't want this camera on their next phone? And i mean camera only. That would be raising the bar by a huge amount.

Thats not exactly what I mean.... You don't buy the phone JUST based on the camera alone... Its the whole package.... The one x camera is great, but in these tests all the settings have to be equal and thats a user oriented thing as to how each individuals perception of a good quality image is, there are too many variables.
IMO HTCs camera settings have never been the best straight out the box... My desire hd had that issue and the same with the evo 3d, but then its to my taste and everyone's is different, unless the image is just **** lol

But, you do realize that the One Series and the EVO 4G LTE were both completed by design and announced before official rumors of the S3 was complete. So, of course Samsung would 1up the competition. It's just like if a new phone is announced later in the year, it's obviously gonna have better specs than one that was designed before.
And HTC definitely didn't lose their ass with this new phone (Especially the EVO 4G LTE). The One series is a step in the right direction for the company. No more quantity over quality. They're taking things down the right road this time.

I stumbled on this post searching for something. What a dumb post. Just delete his whole thread. I myself am.dumber for reading it. Camera quality is subjective when quality is this good. No one is using a phone to take aerial photos of property to show off. HTC has a hit. S3 is good but another same looking samsung phone. What innovation there. I am a big Samsung fan but S3 is a disappointment on looks and design for its exterior.

Sorry you didn't like the article, i thought it was interesting to see a phone have a camera that good and somewhat surprised to see the htc phone rated that low. The phone was a hit at the last show because of the camera, they rated it a top 5 show item. I would think these people are more knowledgeable in the phone technology area, they certainly are smarter than mehttp://www.engadget.com/2012/06/18/nokia-808-pureview-united-states/ I did also see that engadget has their review up for the S3 and they say the S3 camera, except for a faster shutter, is not much better than the S2. They also say the camera is about the same as the htc camera. So while that makes the cameras both pretty good I guess they are not a huge leap forward.http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-shootout-atandt-vs-sprint/

Nice picture, no doubt, but if htc took the time to install a 3d camera on last years flagship phone, maybe a year from now they could install something similar to the nokia's camera and have something that is actually a "huge" improvement. We are now shown the technology is there and is being used and mass produced.
