What features do you want on the Evo 2?

Don't get people hope too high. Asynchronous cores are not coming until MSM8960, which won't be hitting the Smartphone market until early 2012 by Qualcomm's own projection.

Qualcomm Reveals Quad-core Processors for Mobile Devices

The Evo3d, by most leak spec will use the MSM8260 processor which is still dual core, but synchronous dual core like the Tegra 2, and the Samsung Exyons processor.

The main question for Evo3d and the Qualcomm snapdragon dual core processor are:

1) Is the 1.2 GHz, 20% raw clock speed difference (Tegra 2 and Exyons both run at 1GHz) enough to make up for using an older ARM architecture (Cortex A8 Snapdragon vs Cortex A9 for Tegra 2 and Exyons)

2) how dos Adreno 220 compare to Tegra 2's custom GPU and the Exyons's Mali400 GPU

3) How does battery life compare across the 3 chip. Qualcomm and Samsung both use 45nm fabrication and Tegra 2 use 40nm fabrication, which in theory give the Tegra 2 chip up to 25% power saving advantage, all other being equals.

So still a lot of questions to be answers for the spec and the processor power of the Evo3d

Thanks for this. I saw a Snapdragon multi tasking demo and they talked about asynchronous cores. I just assumed thats what was going in the EVO 3D. I dont pay too much attention to the spec details like I used to.

The main thing for me is battery life comparisons. I'm not sold on Tegra 2 just yet based on some stuff I read last year about battery life compared to the other dual core chips.
 
Pics that were leaked on engadget that were "supposedly" from the Sprint site, don't look like the EVO 3D, thank God!

Wow shipping with a 1730 mAh battery. I gotta take back some stuff I said about HTC and the battery sizes they use now...lol
 
Charging port on the side? I was going to say this makes kickstand charging difficult but where the hell is the kickstand?

sorry.. just saw it on live stream .. it is assychronous clocks...
bluescreen was right about that.
 
Bluescreen has not clue, and also is it me or is this phone utterly ugly. I hope the atrix comes, otherwise its the Nexus S for me or switching carriers.
 
I dont care if it has 18 processors, it doesnt have a kickstand to hold it up for me while im eating lunch, rendering all processors useless lol.
 
good point, a dock is only semi useful though, im not carrying around a dock everywhere, bring on the case with included kickstand. I'll make my own if i must lol.

i guess that means there will be a dock this time

I really prefer the kickstand. That was "on-the-go" easiness and no need to carry anything around to prop the phone up, while all your friends/family gather around your phone while watching a funny youtube video that nobody else had seen yet.

It'd be nice to have a portrait dock, but I hate holding my phone up for others to view youtube videos while we're out somewhere and are sitting at a table.
 
Directly from Sprint's Fared Adib via Engadget: asynchronous clocking on the two cores. Wow, either he is completely mistaken, or Evo3d is using the MSM8960 processor. I hope this is correct, because asynchronous dual core defiantly will help the evo3d achieve amazing battery life in conjunction with the 1730mah battery.
