EVO 3D or Sprint Galaxy S2 variant?
- Thread starter FreakyLocz14
- Start date
a lot of the big devs are lined up to jump over to e3d...
[DEVS] Who is going to develop for the EVO 3D?! Devs come say hi!! - xda-developers
and in my opinion..
where the talented devs go most.. is where it is happenin.
more mods.. more functions.. more fun...

Don't get too comfortable with the thought of a physical keyboard because Samsung might be making the form factor of each variant closely the same.

If the Within doesn't have a keyboard, neither will the 3VO or the Photon, so I'm still getting it.
I'll be going with the Samsung GS II, it just runs miles around the EVO 3D. I was actually pretty disappointed with the processor on the EVO 3D. It might be a Dual core 1.2ghz, but it's based on a Cortex A8, all other dual core processors are Cortex A9 based (25% increase in speed). That's why when you see the comparisons between the EVO/Sensation against other dual core phones, they end up losing.
Many reviewers are also saying the GS II has the fastest mobile browser. That's what really matters to me, speed!!!
I always root my phones, and I just couldn't say no to a Super Amoled Plus screen. Right now there isn't a more powerful phone than the GS2.
*Btw I do care about cpu/gpu performance. I like to run emulators, and the better hardware you have the smoother game play will be.
Bottom line, if you're looking for the best experience on Android, you can't do much better than the EVO 3D. However, if you're like me and want the best, and faster out there, it's gotta be the Galaxy S II.

O.T. - Devices nowadays are full spec'd but under utilized - i think.
Back to Topic - competing phones against each other is a good thing. It gives consumers additional insight to the choices available for them to help them in making educated decisions. But, from a regular consumers point of view, they don't know much about ghz of CPU Speed, or pixels in camera, or benchmark results and so on and so forth. Since then, so many people get lured to buying phones because of the numbers listed on the phone's specs. Honestly, do phones really live up to what their specs are? I would bet some do in one aspect or another but not the complete package.
Lets take for example: Camera Pixel
Myth is, the higher the MP label, the better the camera. But what's true is, MP is measurement of how large of a picture can it take. True camera quality drills down to how effectively a camera captures a scene even with low light or extremely abundant light, how fast the camera shutter is, the ability to focus on subject, to cancel noise and graininess etc. Why are those abilities not discussed? because MP is blinding factor. A not so well understood jargon that regular consumers buy.
Why don't manufacturers do it this way...
Sample:
HTC EVO 3d
OS: Android 2.3.3 - Enjoy seamless menu navigation on Android's new Operating System using HTC's multi-awarded Sense UI now upgraded to 3.0
CPU - Dual-Core 1.2gHz blah blah blah - Multitask up to 10 applications and still get that fluid feel.
Camera: Dual 5 MP Camera - point & shoot any memorable scene in both 2d and 3d modes. Sample pics - *picture* (low light -indoors) *picture*(outdoors) etc.
Just my $.02
