Keep the EVO 3D or opt for the Sensation XE - HTC EVO 3D

Hi all,
I'm about to pass the point when i can't swap my EVO 3D for another phone.
Shall i get the Sensation XE? The Galaxy Nexus? Or stick with the EVO 3D?
The rom's available for the EVO 3D are no where near the Sensation in terms of speed and fluidity, comparing the two makes the evo look a bit silly, it lags and just doesn't match up compared to the sensation.
What do you think i should do?

How you know this?? My evo doesnt lag... The xe has same specs but less ram & no 3D, so that would be a downgrade no??

Do you have a cdma device? The CDMA development is quite a bit ahead of the GSM side, an yes it does lag, i'm thinking that in the future it will change and some of the developers will make some great roms, but for now it's really taking it's time.

The lag problem is Sense. Try a different launcher, like adw or golauncher, you won't have lag anymore. I hate sense.

I know m8, i know. But by not having sense, makes having an evo in the first place a redundant decision, I like sense and if you saw how well it runs on my missus' sensation (core droid) then you would agree, it's blisteringly quick.
If i was to opt for a senseless phone i would have got a sgs2 or a galaxy nexus, or even the lg 3d.
The widgets you get on senselss phones are weak, not as good looking as sense and not all of them are free.
I appreciate your input but i know that sense can be made to run smoothly on this device, it will just take the right developer to accomplish it.

i would go with the sensation xe sense is the best skin out there i personaly would never get a nexus phone because thats all it can ever be pure android and maybe miui but go with a Sense phone or even Touchwiz you will have at least one more choice

What??? Lmao man its great developers out now who have sense roms that don't lag. Look at the hardware if your Evo3d is lagging its not the phone its you. I have a cdma Evo3d and mine doesn't lag at all.

I got GSM EVO running leedroid and anthrax kernel.... Smooth as can be, great battery. But it is all personal preference, if you aren't happy with it get a different phone.
My only reason to chancge would be for a better screen, wouldn't spend money on different phone with same specs .

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.

Help me decide - EVO or Sensation

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.

Seems like there are as many roms as for the og evo, which is kinda why i grabbed it. i know the epic 4g touch is faster blah blah, i just don't like Samsung.

No I am not, but my complaints have more to do with Sprint than the phone.
When I first got the phone it was terrible though, widgets deleting themselves at random, wallpaper changes itself, phone crashed and reboots, battery drain in 2 hours sometimes, signal dropping out for no reason whenever I tried to send a text, phone freezing at the black screen when trying to wake it up.
Then root and s-off came around and the phone has been great ever since. Custom ROMs really fix this phone. Unfortunately, they cant fix Sprint's terrible network.
They all suck until they're rooted ,all that Sprint bloated....does anyone use the 3d? I know I won't use it especially since sense will be wiped off my phone.

i had touchwiz and sense. Samsung devices dont come close to htc and sense in consumer usability and multitasking. stop arguing about these things. sense is better then touchwiz period. Sense is better then aosp period. aosp is better then touchwiz,period. Htc is a better quality device then samsung period. Then it comes down to processor. Qualcomm is better then samsung in that department period. Stop arguing about stupid things. 3D is the future period. HTC EVO 3d is the best superphone to date, so stop complaining and do something usefull then arguing my logic here

super happy with my E3D. waiting on some fully functional ICS goodness, AOSP or Sense I really don't care (love sense, but IMO ICS brings a lot to the table that I used to need sense for, so I'll take whatever gives me ICS with a camera first). I do use the 3D rarely, but can easily live without is; cool feature to have available though.
I love this phone, its fast, smooth and great battery life.
I was having regrets when I first got it. Once virus release Eternity a lot of that regret faded. Once Chad released Anthrax RLS9 I was going "omg i love this phone!"
I am loving my 3vo since the first day it came out. Now I love it even more with MeanROM on it. Fast, tweaked out the way I like it, and 4g is great where I live. I have 14 3d movies that I watch with my Sony MW600.

I love my 3D! Some of the roms I use regularly are Blackend and EvoZone. Blackend is quite smooth and themed. EvoZone is stock with blue instead of green. Very happy with my 3D!

lol that's a lot of .
Also, its just your opinion and personal preference. Samsung actually does processors much better than the Qualcomm Snapdragon because power consumption is better and performance is a bit better on direct competing models of processors WiMax is done far better on Samsung than HTC as well. I still like my EVO 3D though
I prefer AOSP with Launcher Pro, I hate sense. But thats just a personal preference like you and how you love Sense.

Sense 3.6 not 4.0 on the sensation BTW. This confirmed by Jeff Gordon in a recent interview, who is in charge of global communications for HTC...also the guy is around this site too and posts some.
If 3D is pointless to you and you want to knock the device then why get it in the first place.
To the OP that choice is up to u as everyone has their own belief on it. It's like saying if u should get HTC or Samsung phone...endless debate and only one opinion matters and that's ur own.

That's a question for you to answer yourself. We can't tell you whether or not you like your phone. Me? I like this phone. It doesn't have the same impact as the OG Evo did on me (that being my first ever decent phone) but it's still a pretty solid phone. Been able to run ICS on it since I got it after the New Year. I see very little wrong with this phone.
Devs for the Evo are better. 'nuff said. Yeah. Thats right. I said at it. And I'm a badass too. Come at me.

Everything in this post, except for the timeframe of ICS updates, is so untrue. Just saying.
I was drawn to EVO 3d becouse of its design, like it more than Sensation. Having 1gb of rom, opposite to Sensations 768mb, was a one more reason to have it. Not to mention that it should be HTC's flag ship. When all started heading down hill, seed of doubt was planted. Wanted to hear other people opinions.

Love my evo, just not happy with sprints data speeds in my area, sensation is getting ics sooner which doesnt make since to me, what do i know though. I never really use the 3d feature. Sprint has some catching up to do service wise. If i was in the market now for a new phone and carrier, i would look elsewhere. Im not hating sprint or evo. Dont take it that way. In my area, dataspeeds are horrible, may be ok for you though if your in a major metro area.

The 1gb of RAM compared to the sensations 768Mb did it for me. Usually its not a huge deal...but c'mon we're talking about two sense phones here lol.
I personally do like the 3D feature of the device two, pretty much to the point so far where I might only purchase another phone if it had 3D (which is unlikely since im a minority)
If I were you, I'd get the Sensation because it has a bigger user base = more devs.

This.
Go where there is a more robust developing community. Not bashing anybody who develops on this phone since they made my EVO 3D a beast, but I realized that huge International phones like the Sensation and GSII are miles ahead in getting things done.
Guys, why did some of you buy the Evo 3D first hand at all - if not of for the 3D?
THAT should've been the main reason - best 3D compared to any other phone, and good overall performance for everything else (save the battery ). I was "back then" really drawn to the Sensation, but it had NO 3D. I'd have almost bought the LG, but luckily was saved by HTC
I never expected it to catch on, because the people apparently see 3D only as a gimmick (sic!), and a low priority one as that..."3D? Uh, yeah, cool... but does it play Angry Birds? Show me!"...
So, lessons learned: Next time buy the phone you need... I hope my 3D stays with me a long time.
Cheers

Because of the hardware inside, not the screen, or sense. Well at least for me, it was the best option when going the price to performance route.

Of course there isn't 3D in the UI. It's worth buying. It's a very capable phone and the cheapest for what you get. There are many ROMs for the EVO. Check out the development forum for more info about ROMs and development.

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.

I hated my evo 3d. Got it the day it came out and was never impressed. I never thought i would get any phone besides a htc until i bought the 3d. I ended up selling it and getting the e4gt and dont regret it. The only thing i miss was the higher res screen. But if u enjoy sense u might like the 3d but its too bloated and slows down the phone. 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.

Ok, but why not root it and delete bloatware? And install different launcher if you don't like sense?

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.
