I am basically writing this article to help all those who have spent time and time to buy the best 3d phone and are probably reading STEREOTYPE reviews repeating same things again and again and leaving you in a more complex state that you were before reading them.
I own an HTC Evo 3d and I also own a Optimus 3d and i also own an Acer 4738DG 3d laptop. I spent hours trying to find which of the two phones is best but i ended up buying both. Now this review to help those wanting to buy and trying to choose.
I will NOT go into details available at every other review website. I will only point out features that really matter and are not available anywhere for review.
PHONE SIZE AND FEEL
O3D is definitely not easy to hold. Its light but difficult to operate. The standby button and unlock button is at the top which makes it difficult to use, since this is the button you are likely to use a lot. The phone is lighter than EVO 3d which is an advantage.
Evo 3D is very bulky. and HEAVY. However due to shorter width than O3D it is easier to hold and grip and the unlock plus startup button is more accessible than O3D. My personal choise is Evo 3D for this round. Simply because it is easier to grip, although it is heavy.
3D Capabilities
Evo 3d is NOT a 3d phone. Surprised? Well thats the truth unfortunately. Evo 3d is a 3D camera which lets you take pictures and view them in 3d. NOT a 3d phone. I dont see any intention of HTC to make it a 3d phone as such. The only thing they have developed is a 3d camera ad a viewing screen. There is no 3d conversion as in you would have to manually covert2d pics and videos on your PC before you can view them on EVo which is useless.
O3d is a 3D phone. its a 3d camera, plus 3d interface icluding 3d channel youtube, plus 3d gallery, plus 3d menus, plus 3d application plus 3d games. Hell, it can even convert ON THE GO 2D movies and snapshots in 3D without any external software.
Go for O3d if you want a full 3d phone.
3D Camera Quality
Evo 3D captures stil photographs in 3d format at max 2MP. Video is at 720p. The camera is pretty basic with regular Htc options and only one option of 3d width adjustment. The camera in 3d mode has flash. Horizontal viewing is best. Vertical although supported is hardly noticeable in 3D. 3d Depth is not as cool as O3d but the pictures come up nice and bright.
O3D captures stil photographs in 3d format at max 3MP. and video at 720p. There is no flash for 3D stills or movie which is a HUUUGEEE drawback. The 3d camera is very smart and allows many 3d options like side by side, vertical cuts and other depth adjustments. The depth of 3d pics is better than Evo3d. but the picture quality itself is not that great.
If you operate in a bright environment go for O3d. If not go for HTC cuz flash is a huge advantage. The low resolution of HTC is compensated by the fact that it has flash.
Pre Bundled 3D software
HTC Evo3D = None
O3D = 4 games in 3d, Separate 3d gallery, 3d stuff accessible from LG 3d store which has movie clips and other apps plus games.
UPDATES
O3D is promised by LG to be updated to Gingerbread in October alongwith more 3d applications and 3d interface. LG has a 3d STORE from where you can download 3d videos and clips, free plus paid. Means you dont have to dowload, crop, resize and then somehow make them work on HTC evo3d.
HTC Evo3D from what i have learnt is not getting 3d updates from HTC. It is left to the developers for that.
ROOTING
Both can be rooted.
Volume Rocker
Volume rocker key in both devices is a pain to use. Its so much embedded kind of inside the phone.
Battery
O3D battery lasts for atleast 4 hours more than Evo 3d.
The other stuff is pretty basic. So if anyone is looking for a 3d phone this review may help him.
I have been an HTC fan throughout. But honestly LG has come a long way. I have the LG app files so if anyone interested in porting them to HTC evo 3d that would really be great.
If this helps, just say thanks.

So... Did the LG win the "Updates" part based on promises on adding an update that's been out for months? Frankly it should have shipped with GB. Kindof ridiculous that it didn't...
Also, converting videos and pics on the go doesn't seem all that convenient if the camera can just take 3D videos and pics. Why take a 2D anything and convert? The conversion won't be even half as good as the real deal.
EVO 3D does videos and YouTube in 3D.

The Evo 3D comes with the green hornet 3D at least with sprint, and spider man 3D demo.. how does that not count as 3D content? also as the user above said, we can watch 3D youtube videos as well...
Not sure I can take someone serious with a review that spells "because" with "cuz". Not being rude, just saying :/
And Zook!? What's up son?!

My Evo 3D came with The Green Hornet 3D and Spiderman 3D. It also came with that 3D Games, but I wouldn't really call that one software though.
First of all thanks for the replies.
This guide is not basically to support one phone over the other. Point being whats good in 3D.
Lemme answer few of the posts so far,
Auto 2d to 3D conversion. Well this feature is kinda handy. With a 3D phone in your hand, you have the new camera to take 3d pics but what about your old collection. Do you want to boast off the 3d and enjoy the same pic with 3d content? Well then LG is your choice cuz (because) the phone can do that.
The result is not that bad actually. I remember when i first laid hands on my Acer 5738dg 3d laptop i converted a lot of 2d content. Never liked it. But this new screen concept of without the glasses does a pretty decent job.
I can say this cuz i HAVE TESTED it on O3D. I would suggest someone else to test and say if its that bad or ok.
The games that come with HTC EVO 3d are standalone games available in sprint version. I am talking about sim free versions of both phones. PLUS O3D has a 3d interface from which you can actually use and launch the game.
Lastly, LG promised an update in august and they delivered. I think the gingerbread update is coming in October, but what I am more interested in is the promised development that LG stated that this update will enable 2D games to be viewed in 3D as well. That is what i meant with when i said its a true 3d phone.
I will probably keep both phones till either HTC gets a port of LG 3d interface or LG gets an update for camera 3d flash. After that I will sell one of these.
Meanwhile, if anyone wants a hands on comparison of any feature please post here and i shall help to the best of my knowledge.
BTW someone mentioned youtube? Well when i meant youtube built in O3D i mean a real 3D youtube app. Maybe i need to post a video to let you guys have a look. Youtube in 3d is accessible by adding ",yt3d" to any search. But thats not what i meant.
Any questions are welcome.

Converting arbitrary 2d images into 3d w/o the actual physical 3d data is stupid.

The 3d videos are bundled by sprint not HTC.

Kind of right, but what about for example
Cyberlink powerd dvd 3d conversion, dvd FAB, stereoscopic viewer and tridef.
These are all 3d converters and players and pretty decent ones and trust me they are making a lot of money for these features cuz large public wants it.
Anyways, the 3d conversion on O3D is not bad actually, its good. Not excellent and not at all like actual. but good.

I am interested to hear what u guys are interested in looking, playing or watching in 3d once you get the evo 3d.
Sent from my htc evo using XDA App
obvious answer: porn
but i want to play some 3d games and watch any kind of 3d movie..prefer action etc, i don't even know what movies are in 3d, idc though.
honestly the 3D aspect of the phone for me is just novelty till the 3D takes off fully, for now the main reason im getting the EVO 3D is because of the Specs this beast is carrying. 3d is just a plus, to show off for me.
Honestly, I'm not very interested in the 3D. I can imagine if/once I bought EVO 3D, I would be spending most of the time wondering how much lighter/thinner it would be without the 3D inside.
I understand and agree the 3d aspect is just a novelty. but as we all know we would all be liars if we claimed we would not once use the 3d aspect of this device. My question was more geared towards what are u interested in seeing when you use it even if ur just using it to test it out. Any one buying this just for the 3d does not need this device they need a view master

After playing with a 3DS I'm very excited for the Evo 3D. Looking forward to augmented reality apps and games. Even subtle 3D upgrades to apps like Google maps, etc I think will add a lot to the mobile experience.
Maybe I think I can only use the 3D camera to take some photo or video.
I've been playing NOVA on the optimus 3D and have to say it adds quite a bit to the experience. Plus youtube 3D is pretty entertaining when your bored =D
I'd probably just use it to watch movies etc. But from everything I've seen so far, it doesn't look like it's going to blow the EVO away. Lots of small things lost. (hdmi, charger on the side, etc)
Hdmi is not lost. It is integrated into the charger port. In fact hdmi is actually upgraded to full hdmi mirroring. That means anything on ur screen will be mirrored onto the tv screen.

totally right.
charger on the side is def not worth the upgrade from 1x 1ghz to 2x1.2ghz.
=P and like above poster said, HDMI is done through the USB port now.
although i had the Bold 9650 and the charger port was literally on the side next to the enter/backspace key...you had to hold the phone WAY awkward to type with it...when on every other Bold phone they had it on the bottom i'm p.sure.
If the charging port is HIGH enough to allow portrait typing still, it will be fine, but if its down low next to where the keyboard is, it will be a nuisance, one i could deal with for the amount of hardware upgrade this phoen is.
I wanna know whether we can browse the interface [htc 3.0] in 3D too?? like LG OPTIMUS 3d?

No, only select apps are in 3D (camera, gallery, etc.)
I'm blown away by 3D couple of times I played with the phone in sprint store. Before seeing 3D in action, I was leaning heavily towards SGS2. SGS2 is thinner, faster, has better camera, 1080p recording and I like Touchwiz better than sense.
But 3D is tilting my decision towards Evo 3D. 3D images are cool. More than cool, I believe it adds real value to an image. Looking at 2D photos, I can feel that I'm missing something.
That brings me to my real question -
As cool as 3D is, how practical is it? I mean, I can take 3D pictures and videos for my own sake. But one of the real pleasure of taking photos in a phone is to share in email/FB. But I can't send 3D images to any one unless they happen to own a Evo 3D as well. No one I know has 3D TV or monitors (neither do I). There are no 3D tablets/laptops (yet).
My concern is, if 3D is not practical and the only way to view the photos taken in the phone is in the phone itself, I think after couple of months, I'll stop using 3D altogether and start regretting that I got this phone instead of SGS2.
What is your opinion? Is 3D a real useful feature or is it a gimmick/fad that you think you'll stop using after the honeymoon period?
If you take it in 3d its not stuck in 3d..
EVO was first with front camera and 4G now everybody is doing it..
I expect the same to happen with 3d, the tech is getting better and once these old people that only remember there terrible 3d from the 70's go away then adoption will boom
But i digress

The evo 3d is stereoscopic, right? I think it's mostly a gimmick, and the situation you described in the op are probably correct. Plus, the 3d function on my 3ds has already gotten a bit old. It can give headaches too.

I had to share this one. Really shows how good this 3D can be.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StD8W9v5FaI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I'd say honestly that the 3D may seem gimmicky but honestly it's a nice feature to have. I honestly hardly use my camera. I rarely did on my evo, I rarely did on my epic. I'll probably rarely use it on my 3vo but the parallax screen function of the phone makes watching videos fun. Knowing that I have a camera that does 3D might inspire me to put more use into it. The 3D world has just been blown open thanks to HTC and also thanks to youtube for making it so easy to share the content.
I think that while I may hardly use my camera I will definitely be quick to snap up anything that seems nice and serene just for the sake of being able to share the experience in a more vivid way.
I would say be a part of the rEVOlution and get yourself the 3vo.
Hopefully other makers will start incorporating the parallax technology even if they don't offer the 3d cameras because there is a lot to be seen here.
A front facing camera was a gimmick till everyone had one. Putting 3D capability in more hands will make it more of a necessity than a gimmick. How many people out there wish they could watch 3D content but cant afford an expensive 3DTV? I paid $61 for my phone. If the technology is readily available for anyone it will catch on and at $199 or less it doesnt get more readily available than that. So much content is going to be uploaded of the next few weeks and months from this particular handset it will blow your mind. IMHO, it catches on in a big way.
3D is mostly useful when photographing members of the Handsome Boy Modelling School.
3d is great.. And the 3VO is actually faster than the SGS2 most of the time.. Or the same speed in some cases
How useful is it? 100% pointless. Very few people (relatively speaking) that you will be able to share them with with out handing them your phone. That was fun at 1st by the way. already 2 days in I'm sick of letting other hold her.
With that being said once more people get on board with 3D and I really do believe the will for TV and phones. Then it will be "useful".
How cool is 3d? Phenomenal! havent even taken a 2D video, or picture yet.
Not a gimmick just a gigantic 3D Cherry on top of your evo sunday.

thats about the coolest thing i've seen, wow
Sure, I know exactly what you're saying. Once the novelty wears off you have to be left with a device that is practical or great for everyday stuff.
If you plan on rooting, you may want to take into account the amount and types of developers that are active for each device. That's what kept me interested in the Evo 4g for the past year.
Honestly, for me, I know the 3D novelty will wear off pretty quick. But I prefer sense so I stick with HTC.
3d pictures are ok. The picture needs some setting up to be really good, I think... But watch some 3d stereoscopic videos on youtube. There are some bad ones, but there are some where the effect is very impressive. There was a ocean circus one that was very cool (can't post a link...)
I love the 3D pictures. Much better than I expected.

Well some loves 3D (as me) and some don`t like 3D!
I have a 3D Projector and monitor. Can`t wait until there will be a GSM version for Europe!
I find the 3D very good. I am golf professional and today instead of using my normal camera to tap my lessons I used my camera so I could show them a full 3d playback of there swing. now only if it was about 3000 images a second I would be happy. That is what my High speed camera does.
Also I'm not for one to drop 800-4000 on a TV. So at $160 it is well worth it.
"With 3D technology relatively new to the mobile market, the amount of 3D content is currently lacking for devices such as the HTC EVO 3D. Don’t you wish that these devices had the ability to convert 2D content into 3D like a majority of today’s 3D televisions? If so, you can expect your wish to become a reality this October when the LG Optimus 3D receives 2D to 3D support for a large percentage of available content. "

Trying to decide if I care what the LG Optimus will be abled to do in October or any other time for that matter.......Good Job!
My guess will be that will be comparable to convert a 256kbs mp3 file into 320.
Or scaling a small size app to make it larger.
Or even better, the 2d to 3d conversion app will most likely be desame as converting a ugly girl into a beautiful girl. It can be done but wont be as beautiful as the real thing/woman.
There is no 3d support in angry birds. Simple. Should the developer not add this, the conversion app needs code itself for the specific game, if thats already possible.
I think this that conversion tool will be crappy.
I'm sure we'll be sharing a lot of cool stuff with the O3D and vice versa. If they release root....It will come

I agree with this ^^ I like to think of 2D to 3D conversion tools as being more hit/miss and not as effective as things that were made for 3D kind of like movies. I mean can you guys compare Avatar in 3D with Clash of the Titans in 3D? I think not.
Damn so it can already convert 2D to 3D videos and pics right out of the box. Why didnt HTC think of this.
I work at Best Buy, and no offense but 3D up conversion isnt really all that cool. adding just a little bit of depth at the cost of straining your eyes is def not worth it. Not on tv's and not on my phone.
I am puzzled why they dont just intercept the 3d info being pushed to the adreno and make every game real 3d at least.

i agree usually converting is useless converters do a horrible job at doing upscaleing regular video.i can only assume 3d sucks due to the fact to the videos are not made that way and current 3d movies are done with two cameras instead of 1.
I'm glad some people in here understand 3D enough to know that you can't take a 2D source and make it actual 3D. Sure it might give it some depth, but that's it. If you want more than that, prepare to be underwhelmed.
Not long ago, I started a thread comparing 3D phones LG and HTC.
The thread was closed since few of us were getting really nasty. I still feel though that since I was not really getting irritated by the Hot comments, the THREAD SHOULD HAVE continued but was nevertheless closed.
Coming to the point, and just in continuation of that thread.......
LG recently released a 3D app and game converter for the 3D phone. This means you can play ordinary 2d games in 3d. This adds up to already available 3d conversion tool for videos and photos natively built. If some of you will remember me saying that HTC is a phone with 3D screen and camera but not a 3d phone, will definitely recall what I was talking about then and what I am talking about now.
Of course some of us will still argue that 3d conversion is not that great, but that's not what we are talking about. We are talking about functionality and flexibility when comparing.
If 3d conversion is really that bad, why is there a 5 star rating for te 3d video conversion tool threading this forum for HTC evo 3d.
Guys, the idea of this thread and last thread was only to highlight to HTC through unanimous pressure that the eve 3d also needs to have these apps and features. The hardware is certainly capable, but HTC has kinda given up on development which is way too bad. Lets all push HTC to UNLEASH THE TRUE Potential of evo 3d.
Your correct...not again..if you want it...do it yourself.
Idk man, but I wish we had the game converter ported to our phone. I downloaded the optimus 3d rom, and extracted the game converter, installed on my phone, it actually loaded, showed angry birds but when I pressed it, I got a force close. I'm sure I don't have all the right files for conversion but it was cool seeing it load. Makes me feel there is hope for this I our evo's

Yes early development for 3d but its coming on fast.
htc should have bundled some native apps and games with it. Nevertheless, updates are always coming and i do hope we can enjoy the benefits of glasses free 3d.
I mean to start with, why cant we have a 3d wallpaper if the phone is 3d.????
The Evo 3D really needs more support from HTC. A game converter would be great. I think the Evo 3D has superior harware as the screen can also display 3D in portrait mode (even though the viewing angles in portrait mode for 3D are very poor), and a higher screen resolution. If only the software highlighted the capabilities as much as it does on the Optimus 3D. HTC made the 3D look like a gimmick, even though it has great capability.
What makes you think its HTC job to supply you with 3D games and features? The evo was the first to have 3D, a little too early because they wanted to be the first. Like people are saying its in early development. There are plenty of 3D games out there. Also you really want to view you phone in 3D all the time? Some would like that, but I bet many more wouldnt. All over these forums you see people saying they dont use the 3D camera because its useless outside the phone. And almost every ROM deletes the 3D spiderman game. The same goes with google video chat when it came out. What good is it if no one has the same phone or capabilities. Give them time, you will find what you are looking for!
Well to start with, ALL and i mean ALL phone manufacturers are now extending their services to support and apps. You can even notice that the android market has a HTC icon and HTC recommends and HTC likes features.
App store is coming on as a big time differentiator when deciding for phones. I doubt HTC can avoid that for long. Also FYI i think LG was launched earlier that HTC, but that does not matter.
What we have in our hands is a 3d phone minus cool 3d features that should be available in a 3d phone as are there in LG. I bet once the samsung galaxy 3d is out, the bar will be raised.
3d technology is new. All Hardware manufacturers are at this time introducing software and modules to MAKE IT LIVE LONG and create usability for their hardware. Thats the game. HTC must create this usability.

It was a pretty crappy game. And only a demo at that.
From what I read, an upcoming version of HTC sense will incorporate 3D into the ui. The technology is advancing quickly in terms of hardware, we will continue to see better and better glasses free 3D technology, but the software is advancing a little slower.

I doubt they will do that until there is technology advanced enough to work at all angles, not mess with your eyes, have HD 3D, etc.
Even then, the UI can get pretty annoying then so there would need to be an option.
Thats like saying it's a car manufacturers job to supply you with gas/oil

just because it can convert them doesn't make it the best if its not really that great after i go for functionality and quality so personally just because they have more 3d stuff doesn't make it the best 3d device it will honestly come down to personal preference. one big comparison is apple to android apple has alot of goodies with there product but in my personal opinion android blows it away. i know there are still many people who disagree with me and thats fine but to me having all the extra stuff is simple gimmicky and once again comes down to functionality and quality that is why i choose the products i do and thats why i prefer the evo 3d to the rest.
As we all know, 3D is growing in popularity. And the Evo 3D/V does have the Parallax Barrier unnecessary. Unfortunately, the only phones to have ever had this are the Evo 3D and the Optimus 3D... both over a year and a half old. So although we already have a perfect 4.1.2 ROM (Thanks dastin! Awesome, awesome work.) and we're well on our way to 4.2.1 being perfect, we don't have 3D. Would it be possible for me, or some other, more qualified developer to make 3D possible in an AOSP ROM? Just theoretically speaking. Even being able to just have a video player for 3D movies would be awesome, seeing as people are like "Whoah, Evo 3D'". I mean, we're one step away from 100 percent stable perfection here. And even without 3D capture this would be awesome... the 3D camera on the Evo sucks anyways xD.

That's not true and a number of manufacturers have put their toe in the 3D water but it seems like it's too cold for most users. Only LG seems seems to interested in continuing with 3D.
I read an article the other day that said even 3D TV's aren't as popular as they were expected to be.

Thanks for the link. Honestly, I predict with 4K TVs, better refresh rates and devices such as the Oculus Rift that are Virtual Reality that we will get more interest generated in 3D. To be fair, I really love 3D. But the problems are still kind of frequent. Bad viewing angles, less detail, and very little streamable content.
