Ok so i know that posting here i would exspect most to say Evo (and i am posting here because i am using the EVO at the moment) but if you had the choice now which would you go for and why?
I have both at home now and am really struggling to decide which to keep.
Looks wise the sensation gets it in my opinion.....but that said i often feel i might drop it because of its sleekness.
Camera wise sensation gets it as i am very unlikey to use the 3d long term...its a great gimic at the moment but long term not sure how much i will make use of it and content seems very little around at the moment.
Screen - EVO gets it, when looking at both side by side Evo is brighter, whites look whiter if that makes sense, dont know why as they are supposed to be the same screen but there is definetly a difference.
External speaker - Evo gets it, the sound is more 'full' and not as crisp as the sensation - volume wise i would say both are the same.
Battery wise the EVO should be better as its larger but if i went for the sensation i could swap the EVO battery into the Sensation
Both are running 2.3.4 so no difference there although the EVO does feel smother for some reason.
Ram is bigger on EVO although not sure how or if i would ever see the difference in this.
Happtic feedback....EVO is better...i know not everyone uses this but for some reason when this is used on the Sensation there sounds like something is loose as its not a 'solid' vibration like on the EVO maybe its a build quality issue but it really niggles me to the point that i would need to switch it off if using the Sensation.
Sensation does full HD which for some reason EVO dose not? is this due to only having 5mp camera or do you think this will come in an update? Full HD is really the standard now on the latest smartphones. That being said i have noticed that when recording in full HD on Sensation the playback is a little 'choppy' at times, might be due to memory card issues...i read somewhere that a lower class card can have this effect (class 4 in EVO and Sensation) not sure if this is true or not though.
These are just a few of my thoughts and observations and i welcome your help in making my mind up.
You almost gave you own answer, the full hd is possible on the EVO but it probably be choppy, and 720 o ain't bad for a phone , well I use a camcorder for vacations , anyways I like how the sensation looks but I prefer my EVO 3d, for some reason HTC makes some ok designs for cdma and makes great ones for GSM phones
Besides that which one has better coverage where you live and work , I would put that in my list

I'd go Evo 3D. You don't have to use the phone in 3D if you don't want to. You also get 1Gb RAM. Bit more than Sensation.
Lol, I was gonna ask what carrier you had. Figured it was sprint vs t mobile but since its the same service.....

I was dithering but opted for the 3D. The Sensation has the prettier casing, but the 3D is nicer to hold in the hand. In my opinion anyway.
If I want super high quality photos, I use my camera. Everything else I now do in 3D as it's just great to have the depth etc of 3D. Many think it's a gimmick but I genuinely enjoy it.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
I'd say EVO 3D. The specs, screen, and bigger battery are enough to convince me. Although I must admit, the Sensation looks damn sexy... but that being said, it does feel way too slippery for me. Too sleek. The RAM on the 3D is also a BIG bonus, and I'm sure the 3D will get 1080p recording eventually. EVO 3D.
I would say go for an EVO!!
EVO 3D please!
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I originally had the sensation but then sold it and upgraded to the evo 3d. I would say go for the sensation, even though the battery in the evo is larger it seems roughly comparable to my old sensation.
The screen on my evo3d is very dull compared to my old sensation and that touch screen problem makes playing my favourite games a hassle.
3d is nice but I would rather have a sexier phone tbh you can always slap on an awesome phone case and it'll feel just like a 3d
If you ain't got 3D, well, ya ain't got 3D.
LG Optimus 3D (T-Mobile/P920)
I vote 3d

if your getting the sensation xe DO IT NOW, if your getting the regular sensation DONT DO IT lol you can take 3d boobie pictures bro come on lol

Everything sounds badass about the evo 3d
I want to say the CPU's. Personally I like HTC Sense, but even with the current Evo and a custom ROM Sense needs a little more power than the current Evo can deliver. I want HTC Sense to run as smooth as AOSP does on my Evo 4G So far I have found no ROM/Kernel that can make this happen on my Evo, though the little bit of lag I do see is nothing compared to my old HeroC, LOL.
Sense UI period........ if anyone buy this phone and ***** why can't it be AOSP can stick it up your arse. Go buy LGX2 or SamSux. HTC = Sense UI.

The new sense looks pretty bad ass and the 3d is a nice touch, but its for that third gen Snapdragon and the Adrino 220.
The screen...I really don't care for the 3d stuff. I do not have any experience with 3d products..this I have to see personally. I am disappointed we take a hit on the camera from 8 megapixel down to 5. What good is a camera with a better screen but lower density camera. Many people say the human eye cannot tell the difference from a 8 vs. 5 megapixel picture....my experience tells me otherwise.
Would you switch to it from your 3D, or would you stay with your shooter?
I myself would switch to the 4G+. While the 3D camera is cool and all, it doesn't seem to allow for Image Stabilization or time stamp on image in the 2D camera on account of compatibility issues. Also, I've had a 5MP camera on my Hero WITH Image Stabilize and the time stamp on image features, and would love my next phone to have a better camera. 8MP and 1080 video sounds nice, and if all of the specs are the same as the 3D, then I think I'm there.
What do you all think? 3D or 4G+?
These posts are getting really lame; maybe they should create a "Migrage from EVO 3D" forum with all these whiny users.
The evo 3D and 4G+ sound like the exact same thing. Switching from the Evo 4G to the 3D is at least somewhat understandable for those who need the better specs, but wasting 600 dollars on something that is not really different from your phone is a terrible idea. Also, the 4G+ sounds like it will be on Verizon.
The 3d is htcs best phone. So the evo+ will be a downgrade. Prob more like the sensation since they wouldnt make the 3d second best

Megapixels really don't mean much. The og evo had an 8mp camera and it's pics were inferior to the camera in the 3d. The 5mp camera in the og epic took better pics than the 8mp camera in the og evo. If it has the same camera as the mt4g then it well have a good camera for a phone.

From what I read, the phones are supposed to be exactly the same, sans the camera. I agree, the camera is pretty nice on the 3D, but I am missing the features of a non 3D camera, (I mentioned the features didn't seem to be stable with the 3D feature).
Just curious about whether yall would stay with the 3D camera if you were given a choice.
Who knows, maybe by the time my upgrade comes around again there'll be something even better. lol

Sounds like a retarded idea. Switch from a phone to nearly the same damn phone for... 3mp difference? In probably ly number only?
Yeah. Bravo genius.

HEY, Assembly workers who work 30hr days and who will likely commit suicide because of the horrendous conditions.

Its getting a little sickening hearing seeing all the threads of folks willing to drop something that has nothing wrong with it for something that is ever so slightly better and have no conscious about it.
Well ya, you're totally right. It is kinda not the brightest of ideas I suppose. I guess I'd really only switch to that one IF there wasn't another, better HTC phone coming out by the time my upgrade is up again.

Don't get me wrong the devs here are amazing virus and the others have done some amazing work. I just hope HTC sucks it up and converts to the super amoled screen at some point ... Our screen is really nice but still I really love the black blacks of the super amoled.

The only thing I wish my Evo had was a bettter camera. Without me fiddling with it. I still think its great but crippled with some weak software. Other than that no, the Evo is a flagship phone for Sprint and will get updates from HTC. The OG Evo got froyo and gingerbread and I expect ICS and whatever is next for our 3d.

No. Sales weren't so hot for the 3D. The next EVO line will probably have a flux capacitor in it. You know, to mix things up a bit.

Lol Would be funny. If market has any say in it, it'll probably have like six cores in it with a display screen too big for its own good.
the evo 3d hardware is already great however the reason why sales aren`t so good is because it is a bit fat and sense 3.0 is not as great as sense used to be, just creating lag whilst adding minimal functionality. people are always saying how bad the snapdragon s3 is but thats because up until now the only phones to have it were sense based. if you look at nenamark 2 you will notice the phone on top is a snapdragon s3 device which scored 10 fps better than the exynos chipset and almost twice as much as the evo and sensation, the difference, software. thats what it all comes down to in the end. i just hope htc finally realises this.
i dunno if its gonna have 3d but check out the htc edge a quad-core phone it will probably become the newest evo .. at least i hope so

I think it was all to do with advertising. I bought my evo 3D from ASDA (aka Walmart) for only £250.
Showed it to people and they were like wow! That's so cheap for a phone that does that (3D). What phone is it? Wish I'd known before I upgraded, etc. etc.

I think that what made this phone flop was the absence of support for the 3D functionality.
No websites support this so in a way if you have 3D content you've shot you'll have to enjoy them in 2D which in many cases looks bad because the focus you'll use for 3D is not always the best for 2D.
I believe that a better overall platform needs to be in place before we have another 3D phone.
Nevertheless the 3D was an amazing proof of concept.

In my view, 3D is/was just a gimmick. The best part was that you are not forced to use it!
I don't mind another 3D phone as long as it can be switched off easily--- I just wish HTC start making thinner phones. Almost all handset makers (except the "fruit" one) have slimmer phones.
I've been reading around and I don't understand why people say this phone is getting old. It gas been out for a while, but looking at the hardware this phone has its not far behind any phone. And the 3d isn't that useful, but nice to have and play around with time to time

Sadly, no. 3D is not a very good feature - You have to be looking at it completely straight and strain your eyes just to see the 3D effect. It's not silky smooth like a moving hologram.
If you buy this phone solely for 3D, you'll end up being VERY disappointed. That said, everything else about this phone is great except for the fact that you can get the upcoming Evo LTE for $200 on a new contract. The Evo LTE looks like an insane beast of a phone. Insane beast.
Let me tell you a little story.
Actually, long story short, i hated my evo 3D, but the day i installed the official leaked ICS ROM things have changed. This phone is a complete BOMB, fast as hell, smooth as hell, no bugs, awesome 3d... man there is a day and night difference between gingerbread and ics and if you have the courage of installing a custom rom, this phone is hands down AMAZING and the best option! Heck, even the screen looks brighter on ics... i have fallen in love with my evo 3d... it's a joy to use it rather than a slow piece of **** it was with gingerbread... obviously the 3d isnt there in the ui, because if it was the battery would finish in half an hour!
Guess the story turned out to be pretty long but owell

thanks for telling me this! think im going to buy it after reading alot of reviews about it, sadly im not on contract so id never be able to afford the LTE and im in the uk so i dont think it would be avaible here
im actually not disappointed by the 3D, its an amazing wow feature for alot of my friends aswell. The 3D only exists on the photos and videos, youtube etc etc and not in the UI but even so it works really well for me
3D aside the phone is basically a sensation xe underneath so you will get alot of bang for your buck even if you never use the 3D
U can't find find, dual core with 1gb ram in under 350euros. So i think it's really good phone with good specs in low price.

The speed difference between the e4gt and the evo 3d is very noticable. And htc is in the slow lane.

I agree that 3d is not what should sell this phone, its 1,2Ghz dual core processor, 1Gb ram, decent qHd screen etc. Those was the reasons why I bought it.
But for me the 3d was very pleasant surprise. For me, there is no eye strainig. If u are watching quality made videos or movies of course.

Been on the HTC bandwagon since the 4G. The 3D isnt a huge jump as the 4G was when it came out but certainly this is the first phone I can keep longer than 2 years if I needed to. ICS brings out its potential greatly and I've even fallen back in love with the new Sense 4.0.
Also, if you like, you always run ASOP if you hate Sense. But its funny when you browse other phone's threads and see people wishing to have Sense on their Sammy devices. Makes you proud.

Lol excuse me, im far from a troll. Why would the guy just want opinions from people who like the phone. I owned the phone and I didnt like it and i told him why. Thats exactly what he was looking for the good and the bad. It has high res screen. Camera sucks on it, but it does do 3d pics and videos. Its fast but not the fastest and slowed down a lot bc of sense. Sense looks great but is a little too much for my taste. If your trying to get wii controllers connected its impossible with sense roms. Typing on it isnt as fast and responsive as it should be. Running miui on it makes you realize how fast the phone should be. But when i had the phone 3d wasnt working on aosp/miui roms so if u wanted a fast rom you lose features. I like the looks of the evo3d. I had both the black and white evo3d and more people are impressed with my white e4gt. Its bulky and heavy compared to my e4gt. Honestly the only thing i miss is the higher res screen and sometimes the 3d.

Ignore the 3D feature unless you think you will use it, as the quality is not very good when taking the 3D yourself due to it only being 2MP :-(
The rest of the spec is good, and with it (hopefully) getting ICS soon, improvements in the pretty bad Sense implementation we have now will be much improved
1GB RAM on the phone really helps out and was one of the main reason for me getting this over my O2X.
It's good for the money... but other phones now like the new HTC X are WAY ahead.
