Evo 3d laptopmag review - HTC EVO 3D

A pretty good review actually.

See they didn't dog on it cause of the 3D, like what a review should be.

True, but they did state the phone is on Gingerbread 2.2.3.

yeah I think this is the first actual good thorough review that I have read so far. Also he said calls sounded pretty good to him for the most part.

Good review. I'd enjoy it more if they did some call quality, signal strength and battery tests. But they did mention that 3D is just an added extra. Good to see something opposite to Gizmodo's "oww my eyes! I am not going to review it further!" joke of a review.

The 720p movie he shot looks great - no stuttering. I'm thrilled.

This seems to be a decent review... Besides, I'm interested in the hardware and the OS. The launcher will be LPP very soon after purchase anyway.

Hmm ... They have the Bluetooth listed as 2.1, but HTC/Sprint has stated it would be 3.0. I wonder if this is another change like HTC/Sprint saying 1080p, when we now know it's only 720p.

26 minute long hands-on video with the EVO 3D!

Came across this video and I must say, it is pretty nice. You can clearly tell it's early software, and even the Sprint Rep said so plenty of times, even said it's earlier along than you'd think. So you know this will be VERY polished and buttery smooth once finalized:

Evo 3d - Wasted Potential?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0l_E-sr6JY&feature=related
Between 2:10 and 2:25.
When I first heard about a glasses free 3d display I was pumped for a real 3D usage experience. Especially when considering the widget animations and now 3D carousel screen transitions in sense 3.0.
In the video above, precisely at 2:22, the HTC rep confirms that not even the new weather animations will have a 3d effect.
I for one am bitterly disappointed, I could care less about filming my girlfriends tits in 3d, or posting pics on Facebook so I can be boring in 3 dimensions to the 7 people worldwide that can actually view 3d content on their monitors.
I also can care less about mobile gaming, and will never spend a penny paying some company for 3d movies... although I might pirate them come to think of it.
So besides recording some 3d porn, I cant see a single use for this 3D screen...
Realistically speaking, what are the odds of a UI update, or a modded version coming to fruition? Will the 3D platform mature anytime soon? Or should I grab the superior (arguably) SGS 2 and revisit 3d in 2 years when content developers are taking it seriously?
If green hornet 3d is what I have to look forward to then they can keep it.
Please add your thoughts/rumors/reports.
Well said if you ask me

They said in March when they revealed it that the UI would not be 3D, don't know why this comes as a shock to you now.
Plenty of Movies/Mobile Games will be more than enough 3D for you to handle. You'll be glad the UI is not in 3D anyway, it gets strenuous on the eyes. Its an effect that you're not supposed to be exposed to all hours of the day.

I was aware. That didn't preclude the possibility of incorporating 3d elements here and there. Furthermore, I'd like to know if anyone has heard anything about this being expanded.
Are there any tools in existence for creating custom content to build into a ROM, how feasible would that be etc.
The 3d effect only works in landscape. So a ui based around portrait use has no chance of working in 3d no matter who takes up the challenge.
Btw, I'd love to be proven wrong. I hoped the whole experience could be 3d.
Personally I don't really care ..the 3d to me is an added bonus ..I'm buying for the powerful specs and since Sprint gave me. Free upgrade I'm all for it..
Who cares whether you like the 3d or not, don't use it. It is an added bonus that you are obviously not paying for as the device is $199 after upgrade.
It would be exactly the same price if they removed the 3d feature so why do people really care! It is nit like HTC skimped somewhere else. For the people who say the 5mp camera, please do your research about mp's before making the stupid comment like many others keep making about it being a downgrade.
The EVO's 8mp camera blows and if they took the same EVO camera and made it 15mp's it would still blow, just larger!
when i first heard about glass-free 3D technology on mobile phones, i couldn't be more excited... waiting for the day i get my hands on an evo3D
and some time later, i heard news about samsung not making 3D phones, saying they don't see potential in making the devices... and then i was growing a bit skeptical...but not stirred (cuz samsung ain't exactly my cup of tea anyways)
today.. i went and tried a LG optimus 3D... and you know what? to my surprise... it's crap, pure marketing gimmick, it's like them 3D stickers, but with motion pictures, i am sorely disappointed in this technology and i imagine the evo3D would have similar affects.... now.... i'm planning to skip everything mobile 3D...
I could care less about the 3D as well. What makes this phone so great, is the phone itself. This is the best phone Sprint has had since the EVO which is why I think most people are excited about the phone. I am looking forward to seeing what Devs can do with this horsepower.
I will be interested to see if 3D apps start coming out over the next year. It looks like HTC is going let Devs produce apps made specifically for Sense and that might include 3D stuff. Right now there is very little too be that excited about in regards to 3D - but there is a lot of potential for some pretty cool stuff.
If this phone didn't have all of the other specs and all it had going for it was 3D then this phone probably goes the way of the Echo (dual-screen phone) but the amazing specs along with 3D is creating a lot of excitement.

Exactly, if HTC had not added the 3d and called this new device the EVO 2, I would bet that it would be exactly the same phone we are getting now minus the 3d. It would be the Sprint version of the Sensation.
I don't understand why people don't get.
Even if you don't like the 3D display, being able to take 3D pictures and video is pretty amazing on a phone that's $199. 3DTVs are still growing in market share, they're not going away. I myself have a pretty nice one, and the EVO 3D is coming out the day before my Florida vacation. Really looking forward to getting some nifty 3D videos.
Besides, they could be like every other manufacturer and come out with the "EVO 2" with just updated specs. The 3D functionality is a really awesome throw-in if you ask me.

So your volunteering to make 3d porn of your girlfriend on the Evo3D? sweet..
lol just kidding

If there was a bigger market share of 3d monitors/TV's I'd already be interviewing models.
Don't even care about the 3d...its a fun little extra I am curious to play with, but, the big gimmicks on both evos are the last reasons I an getting them.

I agree with everyone who wants the phone for its specs rather than for the 3D. For those who are surprised the 3D is not as good as theaters then anything I say to you, you wouldn't understand cause your just to damn stupid. (No need to say my grammur is wrong anywhere cause I dont give a **** and I add this cause whenever someone says someones stupid or retarded someone always says...its then not than, who's stupid now) The phone is gonna be sick and it has amazing potential to be even more bad ass than it is. 3D games.....fun. 3D movies......showoff. 3D pictures and videos........can't tell me you wouldn't have some fun with it. But with all the 3D effects gone, the phone is still equal to or greater that Samsung.
To actually address the wasted potential argument, I think we're all on these forums because we individually feel like every phone has potential beyond the stock versions.
As far as wasted is concerned, you can't really say it's wasted if there's no proven way to efficiently better it. I haven't really looked around, but I don't think there are many phones that are using the potential of 3D tech in a better way. Granted, you could say that every 3D device that will hit the market in a similar time frame may be wasting potential, i'm not sure anyone knows of a proven way to better it at this time.
3D everything would be great, especially if the 2D/3D switch could turn it off/on on the whole phone. but i don't think the tech is there yet.
personally, i'll be getting it because it's the best device for me, even without the 3D feature.

It's not about the quality, it's about the pervasiveness of the effect creating an experience vs. a little periphery functionality. I was hoping for 3D Sense 3.0 immersion, even to a slight degree.
Also can you please refrain from cursing out imaginary people in this thread? I'm hoping that some useful news, rumors, development info, and hands-on experiences will be posted here.
So please try to keep it Highbrow. (which 3D porn is)

Unfortunately, I was merely hypothesizing. I've been out of the loop for quite some time.

just got done playing with the sensation at t mobile

Hey I figured after all the negative commentary about the 3vo I would take a drive over to t mo and take a spin on the newly launched sensation..the sibling of the 3d..I for one was impressed..the screen looked great..the camera was very nice and one thing I noticed was it as buttery smooth.. scrolling was great..it loaded sites quickly and I enjoyed the new "thinner" form factor..for those who are wondering I do believe its worth an upgrade..I didn't like my phone as much after playing with it..so i know its a different phone but turn the evos 3d off and you basically have a sensation with more RAM and diff camera..don't let the negative reviews throw u off...I think its funny how reviewers are like "its a relatively powerful phone" what? Name a phone on the us market that's more powerful..guess what the gs2 isn't here yet and I think when it does drop it won't be the holy grail everyone thinks..
Stay strong evo lovers.. / rant
Check the new android central hands-on. He says the Evo 3d is a lot smoother than the sensation. Also he said after using the 3d he went back to use the sensation and was disappointed at the sensation's performance compared to the 3d
That would be great! See I dunno why all the negative reviews...being slammed for an extra feature (3d) shouldn't make reviewers act like its less than an echo

I see these reviews like I see Movie Reviews, they are not the users and I could care less about what they think. I can't count the number of movies I have enjoyed that got bad reviews.
Man all these bad reviewers are trying to protect the beloved iCrap. They won't even acknowledge iCloud and the notification feature in iOS 5 are Android ripoffs, fack them!
I played with the sesenation and it was awasome if the 3d is faster then its going to be crazy
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
well part of the problem that we will see with reviews of this device are going to be because of the 3d.. you either like 3d or you dont.. almost every negative comment that i have read has just been about the 3d portion.. so like it has been said it will basically be like with movies, just because 1 reviewer doesnt like 3d they are going to rate it like crap..
i personally am not into this device for the 3d, i have been waiting on a dual-core.. the 3d will be fun to play with potentially and dev for eventually..

People keep saying this, but why did the SGS2 get such high reviews if thats the case? Its time for folks to realize that not everything negative that was said about the phone is "hate." The screen and viewing angles definitely looked terrible compared to the GS2 as well as the web browsing and the pics. 3 out of the 5 reviewers complained about the call quality/volume. I mean is all of this a "coincidence?"

Speaking of which, here is a good comparison of the Sensation and the SGS2, a very real world comparison. Warning, its very long.

The only negatives the phone is receiving is those that pertain to the 3D screen which, as most of us know, can be disabled. I think they are bashing it just because its first, and will be judging its performance for myself on the 24th.

Thanks for that link as well
thanks for that link and that review was most excellent. I think this gives us a window into the Evo 3d's abilities and performance. Got mine pre-ordered and ready to go.
God I love my Evo and will hate to see it go but her big sister is sexier....lol
My roommate just got his Sensation yesterday. Nice handset! I don't like the rounded off shape of it though, but overall seems pretty nice. I was a little surprised on the lag it sometimes has just flicking around Sense. 1080p video recording on it is quite nice and the playback of what you recorded is awesome looking. I can't wait for my 3D, and I can't wait for the first opportunity to strip it of Sense as well. Even 3.0 doesn't attract me at all. AOSP all the way.
so the Sensation can record 1080p 2d but the Evo3d can't? yeah I think there will be an update that will let the evo3d record 1080p video

Fact about these reviews.

In the past week or so we have seen a few reviews. It seems there are 2 sides to this subject. You either think the reviews are legit or they are bias against this phone for one reason or another. The fact of the matter is the people reviewing this phone are individuals they are expressing their personal opinions about this device. They may work for legit companies but this is a review from an individual. The only 100% truth coming from their mouths is the specs of the phone. The rest is just their personal opinion. So people come on form ur own opinion and don't go by what others say. Get ur hands on it play with it then form an educated decision to whether this phone will fit you. If you plan on not getting this phone let it be because u tried it and figured "hey its not for me" not because engadget said the camera sucks and 3d is a gimmick. Form ur own opinions.

Agreed. Only thing that helps is watching a video where you can see their complaints yourself and decide if they are just being nit picky or there really is something to be worried about. So far everything that I have seen have been articles that you have to take with a grain of salt.
At least use your=ur and you=u....
Great now I added those in my dictionary....

Except in the Evo 3D's case, even HTC's spec sheet is incorrect. Some reviewers have been repeating HTC's specs on the video recording without verifying the capability.

All that needs to be known is that the MSM8660 is capable of encoding and decoding video up to 1080p.

That's fine, but I turn to professional reviewers for information that I can't get myself (easily) with the phone in hand.
I want a review to give me information of battery testing, reception, connectivity, fps on video recording, bleed or blurring on photos, or any number of other quantitative measures that are highly impractical for me to test either in store or in a short amount of time in home after purchasing, particularly in a controlled way. I have neither the time, tools, or (sometimes) technical expertise to execute this kind of testing. That is what I want from reviews -- good, solid, empirical, quantitative data that I can use to supplement my current knowledge.
I already knew, with reasonable certainty, that the screen is sharper than GSG2, but not as vibrant or good in the sun. This has been a given for a long time. I already knew that the 3D display would have a good chance of giving me headaches after prolonged use. I already knew that the spinny carousel was neat looking. I, really, already knew most of what they were going to say in a cursory review. And, with limited testing, I knew that some "reviewers" would have good reception/call quality and some would not. That's the nature of wireless communications in an uncontrolled environment.
I don't want their opinion, I want their data. If the data looks valid, then I'll consider their interpretations.

I'm not saying I look at reviews for the approval.
If it's well collected data, it is not opinion. That data leads to an informed decision. Anything else, including handling in store is lesser. In store, conditions are often optimized for your "first experience" -- lighting, signal, etc. You can see if something is bad in the store, you cannot necessarily see if something is good.

Guess we shouldn't consider photo or video samples, reports of signal strength from those who have an Evo to compare with? It shouldn't matter that if shoots 720p when it was advertised as 1080p?
When people tell me the Cubs suck, I always say "That's your opinion." Standings don't matter. Right?
One thing I noticed while watching all the reviews was tje great media playback and the spiderman demo is a game that our 4gs couldn't get past the loading screen
Giving us specs and verifiable data is totally different if they did that there would be no discussion on whether these "reviews" are bias or not. Telling us "sensation did better in this or that area" without data to back it up is an opinion. The claims of other phones doing better its what I have a problem with cause that is a personal opinion not data. I also have a problem with the reviewers comparing the phones camera to other phones that are not 3d. If u are gonna compare 2 things u need #1 data and #2 they must be the same type of item. Thats like comparing tablets to laptops. Its the the same this the opinion is useless

no i totally agree, but honestly these companies are sending these blog sites phones to give real reviews, and most of the time that isn't what happens
I dont see what's do hard to believe about the bias in these reviews. Lets say you just dont like 3d technology or you are one of those people that have a hard time viewing it. I personally feel these people have a natural bias against anything 3d and cannot fairly judge something with 3d technology. I also feel some of the reviews we have seen have been a victim of this bias. I feel that way cause I notice an overwhelming concentration on the 3d aspect of the phone and lack of concentration on what they normally review in phones. I feel for an honest review of this phone the 3d switch needs to be left alone other phones dont have this feature yet so there is no way to honestly compare or honestly understand the quality.

It also seems like those reviewers who are willing to play with the phone a bit, adjust view distance and angles, etc. find the 3D to be quite impressive and even comfortable. Those that flip it on and expect 3D like you'd get from modern glasses-type 3D from any angle speak much more negatively.

New Reviews

I'm sure there will be alot of reviews when the prime hits, but until then if you have any interesting videos or articles on the prime post them here.
Heres one that was posted yesterday...
www.ritchiesroom.com/2011/11/28/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-first-look/
The guy that made the video said if you had any questions that he would try to address them in his next video which is suppose to be uploaded today or tomorrow.

Don't most reviewers get stuff from companies to review though?
Either way didn't seem like an overly ad like review, just a first look as its said to be. Really only times he praises it is the design, the nice ips display, and good sound.
But I can see how the look of the video makes it look ad like!

Agreed. Lots of sites get items to review. Not too many can afford to buy all this great stuff!
And I think the video was well done - good production values and style. I didn't feel it was an ad - simply that the blogger was serious enough to put in the work to make a professional video.
in his youtube video, he says that Asus ask him not to put online is next video before the 1th of December. Maybe a hint for the anouncement Asus is still suppose to make aboutt the Prime !

Probably so, but it's humorous how Apple gets away with those kinds of reviews on a daily basis and no one cares. It's about time Android stuff had some tech sites on their side.
It looked like one of the pictures on his review page was of a high profile video of the Smurfs playing.
I guess he will be showing that in his next review video on Dec 1st?

Indeed, that guy didn't have a single bad word to say about the tablet. He was as bought as can be.

What exactly would you expect him to say bad in a this review? He actually does have a few criticisms but really its a pretty general look at the unit and I am not surprised he is impressed with it. The only things he praised that we wouldn't really know ourselves is the ips+ screen and the sound being of good quality.
But he still does level some complaints
With slim form factors inevitably comes some compromises, and in this case the outputs on the Prime aren’t as comprehensive as other models in the market.

I think at least one more USB port could have been added, considering the support for USB devices that Honeycomb, and by extension Ice Cream Sandwich, has now integrated into the platform, making it easier to connect more storage devices and other accessories.

not a criticism but shows not a huge bias as well
Along with the Motorola Xoom 2, Samsung 7.7 and other unconfirmed models from major brands, the Prime represents the next generation of Android tablets, adding their own flourishes and customisation to the platform.

Personally thought it was a well done general review
Here's a New Video
Video review of Prime camera.
Looks like it was filmed while setting up for the Dec 1st - Taiwan Technology show. 1080 p video streaming at 30FPS.

Doesn't really look like Taiwan to me
But Video Quality is superb.
Yeah,
I see description is Fashion show in Sweden. The INtel, Asus, Segway booths threw me a curve ball.

If that really is from the Prime, the camera must be amazing
Asus really shouldn't remove that video, it's a super good free ad
