So I was 99.9% certain I was going to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S II, but now that ive seen the evo 3d, im stuck between these 2 devices.
Spec wise there pretty similar
Both have 4.3" displays
Both shoot 1080p and have ffc
Both are 1.2ghz Dual-core
Both have 1gb ram
Both have hdmi out
Only obvious difference is evo has 3d cam and 3d display but galaxy 2 diaplay is wayyy batter in terms of quality not res.
Build quality of htc evo 3d will be better, im sure, but the GSII is like half the thickness and very light, so thats sort of a draw. Release is around the same time and im sure price wont differ that much.
Which one should a person choose considering the whole 3d thing is sort of a gimmick and im going to barely make use of it???
And how exactly do you know the Galaxy's screen is waaayyy better?

I had galaxy s and have desire hd currently and the s-amoled is much much better than the DHD lcd and the evo also uses lcd. On top of that, the s-amoled plus is big improvement over the samoled so its common sense. Also ive seen comparison shots of lcd vs s-amoled vs s-amoled plus vs retina and samoled plus is easily the best.
Same dilemma here...
HTC = Sense UI, if you buy LG, Samsung or any other manufacturer you will never see Sense roms. Look at Samsung Galaxy S series, 4G, Nexus S etc... all they have is AOSP roms like CM7, Miui etc.. no Sense due to close source from htc, now if you buy HTC phone you can have both worlds Sense UI and AOSP roms.

Yeah, there was a dilemma at first but they confirmed our DHD's come with s-lcd.
about the release date from what Ive heard, the sgs2 is coming out for verizon, tmobile and sprint around june, and evo 3d is also supposedly coming out in june but I think it might be sooner since theres and htc event for the 12th or 14th and pre orders might start soon but im not sure if its for the htc pyramid or evo3d. So who knows maybe itll be out sooner
I Have an Epic right now... and honestly not even thinking about the SGS2 ..
Why the build quality is **** the keyboard causes the screen to wobble everytime i touch it.
Samsung sucks @ Updates...
the drivers are stupid...
alot more development behind the Evo...

Rooting or unlock is not a problem, HTC is close source period. You don't believe me? Look on XDA any SamSux or LG they don't have no Sense ui period don't you think other dev have try to port Sense to samsug? It's useless, check all samsux on xda tell me which model have Sense ui?

I think it depends on which SG2 is available to you, will it be the Tegra 2 or Samsung Orion. The Tegra 2 is very underwhelming, but the Orion is impressive.
If it's the Tegra 2 SG2 (I think Europe is still getting these) get the Evo 3D instead. If you can nab the Orion SG2, get that one.
And the lack of Sense argument is invalid, since the SG2 will have Touchwiz, which Sense phones lack. Some people like Sense, some people hate it. Some people like Touchwiz, some people hate it. Having one or the other isn't really a drawback/benefit.
Personally, I would go with the SG2 (I dislike Sense a little bit more than Touchwiz), assuming Samsung doesn't use a ****ty file system again like the first series.
And really, the whole HTC vs. Samsung arguments are getting real old, real fast. We get it, Touchwiz and the plastic is not your cup of tea. However, some people love it. I love the feel of the Nexus S MUCH more than the feel of the Nexus One, but I like the feel of the DHD more than the feel of the.. Captivate. Preference. Saying "Samsux" is just childish.
Perhaps the only thing I hate about Android is that the community is split between HTC, Samsung or Motorola. There is no middle ground, just like iPhone vs. Android. It's one or the other and people will incessantly argue which is better. It's all preference guys, there is no need to impose your preferences on others so harshly, especially when we are all apart of the same community.
Edit: I also prefer SAMOLED to SLCD, so I am assuming I will love the SAMOLED+ more than the SLCD 3D of the Evo 3D, but I could be wrong.
@XanLinder, it's not about which is better. I'm just pointing out the facts that if you like TouchWiz than get Samsung or Sense than get HTC. You forgot this is htc section HTC = SENSE
Edit: I'm just saying that if you buy other manufacturers don't complain about there's no dev, roms. Look at the Nexus S development section they all thought just because it's a Google phone and it'll be supported by dev just like N1. But it's not they forget who make the Nexus One. Now they're moaning and *****ing cause they want Sense UI. lmao

Not necessarily because the evo will provably have pentile matrix and the new super amplest plus has 50 percent more subpixels per pixel. Early reviews All have praised the galaxy s2s display, slcd is good but anemic in terms of colors and vibrancy compared to super amoled

Why you think nexus is better than the amaze?(once ics gets ported to the amaze)
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using xda premium
I have both amaze and GN gsm (both on tmo), and they're both a great phone. Still can't decide which one to use for my day to day.
The GN is very light and comfy to use, while amaze has a great screen and feels heavier (it's like the first gen iphone with retina display). I'd say the amaze feels a bit snapier than the GN on the software side of things, even though ics is a real contender. That being said, once the ics is ported to amaze, I might use the amaze solely only because I'm not a fan of the pentile bluish display on the GN.
I have both rooted and stayed stock, still trying to explore the possibilities on both devices. Going from the first gen iPhone through the iPhone 4, Android is truly a better experience for a gadget lover like me.

Isn't the Galaxy Nexus some $800 to import here? If it were of similar price to my Nexus One I would have considered getting it, but I'm very happy with the Amaze now and like still having a search and menu button.

i have a samsung but i like the sense UI and the case of the HTC devices a lot.
Though i wouldn't buy a htc, because they are always more expensive compared to a samsung device with the same power
biggest selling point for me that made me buy Samsung over HTC was the Super AMOLED screen...
the screen is just beautiful in comparison to the dull looking HTC screen... the colors are much more vibrant and clear on the Samsung devices.
hands down Samsung makes the best screens...even giving the iphones a run for their money on screen clarity.
I currently have a desire HD and I love it to bits but I'm due for an upgrade soon and Im stuck between the SGS II and the Note. I just love the screen on both of them and movies on the note are amazing.
One thing I do love about htc is that their sure easy to root and practically unbrickable (from my experience) due the boot loader and fast boot. One thing I hate is htc sense, never liked it, never will. Also the battery life on HTC isn't to great either without rooting, custom roms, blah....

I have had several samsung phones over the years and always had nothing but problems with them. I just pick up the HTC rezound and it's by far the best phone i have ever owned.
I use to hate htc. Il admit i was a fanboy for samsung. Sammy this sammy that. I scooped me a sensation and its running ics. I came from a nexus s and man i love this phone. The colors are more true on the qhd screen. One of the reasons i loved sammy so much was the samoled screens. Now i realize that i was dumb bc who needs to look at their screen at an angle? Spent 2 years with samsung. Really enjoying my switch to htc and plan on buying their products for some time.

I honestly don't see the big upgrade. The only thing the One S really has on us is size, it's something like 8mm thick instead of the 11 or so on the Amaze; and possibly their new image chip. Other than that, it's just HTC trying to get the super nerds (us) into buying a phone similar to the one we have because it's "new."

Not exactly though, because for people unlike "US" their are people who buy their phone and never glance at XDA or any dev site. So that means they are still stuck with sense 3.0 ect. This phone for the average user gives them sense 4.0 which the amaze isn't supposed to have even if we did get it through the devs. A sharper camera which for me takes the hassle out of pulling at the Fujifilm every time. The size difference. A brighter more vibrant display. I mean for the person who doesn't unlock the bootloader and flash roms, It's an upgrade. Not as much to us but even to us their are some things the amaze don't have meaning upgrade.

I think a lot of people underestimate the Rezound. It is a powerful phone only to be held back with Verizon bloat and stuff. 342 PPI is incredible to me. Still one of the best displays out there. Who cares about AMOLED (even though it looks pretty damn good). I have friends with the GS3 and the GNEX. Looking at their phones is nice. But the screen resolution 1280x720 is amazing for a 4.3 inch screen. Wish we had some more up to date Sense 4 roms to compete with the look of the OS. 3.6 is getting kind of old IMO...I cannot move to AOSP because I am attached to the smoothness of sense! A bit off topic here but yeah.
Any input?

So, there's been lots of speculation about a 5" HTC phone, and it's finally been announced. Not only 5" display, but the FIRST 5" display in the world to offer full HD 1080p resolution. Unfortunately, this one will not be sold outside of Japan. But, they have said that we can expect to see this display in phones around the world in upcoming models.
SOURCE: The Verge
The rumors were true: HTC has been working on a new flagship phone with a 5-inch 1080p display, and we got to see it in Tokyo today. It's the HTC J Butterfly, and it's set for a release this December on AU / KDDI. A follow-up to the previous HTC J, the Butterfly uses the same red and black color scheme and Rhyme-inspired skin, though this time it's running on top of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Inside there's a quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor, 2GB of RAM, and an 8-megapixel camera with an f/2.0 lens.
The real attraction, though, is the 5-inch full HD Super LCD 3 screen — it's truly a sight to behold. The Super LCD 2 seen in HTC's previous flagship One X was arguably the best panel on the market, but we think its successor is the new champion. Color reproduction is excellent, the 440ppi resolution is astonishing, and the screen's slightly curved edges make the image look like it's melting off the side of the phone. It doesn't feel overbearing in the hands, either; the phone's 9.1mm thinness and slim bezel make it surprisingly compact, and we found it was easily pocketable. The J Butterfly's 2,020mAh battery is above average in capacity, though we're interested to find out how it'll keep up with powering so many pixels throughout the course of a day.
While this is a Japan-specific model and almost certain to stay that way, HTC reps told us that its display will be making its way into other phones around the world. If the J Butterfly is anything to go by, you should start to get excited.

I wonder if Butterfly sounds cooler in Japanese?
I'd love this + SD Card slot. I'd screw over my perfect update schedule for it.
Saw it last night, think I may have been drooling lol. I don't know how comfortable I would be with a 5 inch phone though, and no I don't think HTC Chou sounds any better lol
Gf says J chou sounds totally cooler because it's the name of some Asian pop singer lol

Oh you can bet we will see this phone or one almost identical to it. When, who knows. But it just makes me think Gs3 what?? Note 2 What??? LG nexus what?? This is simple the best phone announced to date...and thats just a simple fact.
I hope on the Evo, it's more of an edge to edge screen. If I have a 5" screen, I want it no wider than my LTE. It's kind of ugly (not a fan of the earpiece), but I bet that screen would make me forget all about it.
I'm kinda done with the constant up sizing of the screen... The Evo lte is almost too dang big already.. I'll definitely be looking elsewhere if 5" plus size screens are htcs only option in the future.

The j butterfly is 143 x 71 x 9.1 mm, our Evo Lte's are 134.8 x 68.9 x 8.9 mm. Only 1/3 inch taller, and the the width and depth differences wouldnt even be noticeable. This phone has me excited, noting that KDDI is a CDMA carrier.
Oh man I sure wish the butterfly was our EVO instead of the jewel...

Nice find. I always said this phone is already a bit too big. But the overall dimensions on the J butterfly are hardly bigger.
I see some pics with a big rectangle earpiece that I Dont like, but some other pics show an earpiece like the OG Evo which I really like. Not sure why the discrepancy.

There have been a lot of rumors flying around that LG, HTC, and Sony will each have their own nexus device. LGs supposedly will be based on the Optimus G, HTCs will supposedly be based off the Droid Incredible X (which is basically the same as this phone).

Aren't they making a few different Nexus phones from different manufacturers? Like Motorola was supposed to be involved, along with LG, HTC, and Samsung? I could've sworn I saw it in an article somewhere...

If this is the model for the Nexus 5 or whatever it is going to be called, it will probably be a bit smaller without the hardware buttons. If it had the software buttons this would be perfect

Atm I don't believe that they have 1080p screen tech any smaller than 5" ...if they can reduce the top and bottom.bezel then hopefully the phone won't be much larger ..other than that ..which I'd eat up that screen with that chipset and ram..we are approaching pc power..pretty unbelievable
