Possibly NFC...but I have never used it before. I am thinking I am going to like this feature though.

I like that the phone has no shutter lag (supposedly), and will let you take photos while videoing. I also like the screen size, along with the resolution. In the reviews, people always seem to comment on how awesome the screen looks, so I am really looking forward to that. NFC sounds cool too.

Im excited about the camera as well. Looks like good quality (from samples ive seen) and no shutter lag. Just an overall fun camera.apk
I hate AMOLED displays for the viewing angles and hue, so I returned the E4GT and didn't even bother with the GNex. I refuse to upgrade to a phone that has less than a 4.5" screen. (Spoiled). That said, assuming the camera is on par with the E4GT, what I'm looking forward to the most is the camera. My son is very active these days and I have a daughter on the way, so being able to get good pics of them whenever and wherever is a big deal to me, and let's face it, the OG EVO camera has always sucked. Quick shutter speed, high aperture, wide angle, BSI sensor, dedicated imaging processor, stills during video capture, dedicated camera button. Hell, even as a gimmick feature, the slow motion recording sounds fun.
The camera easily, after playing with the One X's camera , I look forward to it.
XDA Since 2007...
I'm in for the faster cpu, larger screen, and more memory. Although I have all animations turned off, the original evo is lacking in the cpu dept.
I chose this over the One X and SGS3 because of the dedicated camera button, kickstand, micro sd card, great screen, and slim profile... coming from the original EVO 4G. But... if i had to pick one.... the camera button. Why doesn't everyone have this?
S4 chip, kickstand, real ics. Those three are making me upgrade from my og EVO

Yeah, other than the pre-order drama, I am really excited to use the camera button. I didn't have an EVO 3D and I have been taking more and more photography lately with my EVO 4G. Can't wait to see how the camera button affects this new hobby of mine lol.
Camera was the big one for me. Honorable mention goes to the screen, camera button (wasn't a fan of the round one on the E3D), slimness, and KICKSTAND!!!!
Anyone know if the cam button can be used as a shortcut button to open the camera?

Yes, hit the shutter button and the camera app opens. Not when it's locked though.
The camera button is the big feature? Has no one ever had this before? I know my EVO 3D, does, but it isn't new to that device. The PPC-6800 had it back in 2007 and I think my PPC-6700 did too. The Evo 4G is about the only phone I think I've had recently that didn't have the button. It is like they were trying to mimic Apple too much.
The Nexus s 4g, G2, HTC Hero, Galaxy Nexus, T-bolt all phones I had. None had a camera button. I had a ppc-6700 too but I wasn't trying to take pictured with that. The camera was horrible. Oh I had a EvO too.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. Maybe improvements to the software will be made in the release version resulting in better quality. Either way, this trumps my crappy Samsung Moment camera!
It looks like the camera on the E3D really SUX! The pix don't look any better then ones taken from my old Blackberry Curve.
HTC build nice phones, but they need to really do something about their camera sensors/software. Don't they realize it's 2011 and not 1999?

I don't understand, in this day and age, how a camera in a phone is as bad as those pix look on Picasa!
Where does HTC even get their cameras from? It's like they went into a old junk drawer and found a bunch of 10+ year old camera sensors, so they decided to use them.
They say you can take 3D pix and video, but with a camera like that, you won't be able to tell what you took a pic or video of. It really makes me think the 3D part is really more a gimmick then anything else and any pic or video you take in 3D will be a joke.

Where do you see that they are 3MP? I guess I'm blind...
just download the pics from the page, open them up in amost any viewer, right click on the image, check the properties, or info tab, and it will state PG86100 took the picture. It's the model number of the Evo 3d, so there's your proof. I doubt somebody would edit the EXIF information on a picture just to make the camera look this bad, but you never know who upped these pics either, could be a competitor.

Open one of the pics and on the right it says
2560×1440 pixels

=~ 3.5MP unless I wrong
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, war torn African people working slave conditions for the minerals used in phones. HEY, Assembly workers who work 30hr days and who will likely commit suicide because of the horrendous conditions. This guy wants an ever so slightly better camera in a phone that is exacting in every other way. Better work yourselves to death to keep up"
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.

This isnt saying much.
If you install HDR plus does it then become better than the Iphone 4 ?
Most people think the stock camera is great.
Are there other places that compare ? GN/iPhone4s/Amaze comparisons Id like to see.
i can do a few gs2 vs amaze shots, but i dont have access to an iphone4s..
here's a stock macro shot from amaze just for shigs and gittles
Personally, my Amaze replaced anything cheaper than an SLR. Near and far, it's fantastic.
it is at low light, dark where the amaze loses points.during daytime it's pics are awesome, they get better though if u use a good camera app

Hardware is far superior to the iPhone 4S hands down. It's the optics. If they somehow were able to run the exact same software, the Amaze would be undefeatde.

Good, because with all the issues just trying to get fully working ROMs and proprietary drivers not being made available, its just not worth the effort. Things will be faster if 3D drivers are not part of the equation.

I can't say that I am even a little sad. The 3D was a joke. I wish I had never changed from my Evo 4G. The hardware, while I guess was nicer, wasn't worth the upgrade. The 5MP camera wasn't as good as the 8MP. Not to mention the 3D driver issues. The only positive thing I have to save is that the physical camera button was nice.
Good

For me, the screen and the processor were the only things that made the E3D worth while.
I'm curiously wondering how many of you xda a developers users, actually like the new HTC One? Personally I like the design, features such as the stereo speakers that are on the front and the new design of the back. I don't really know how I would like sense 5 considering sense 4 on Viper ROM 3.1 .0 is actually really really good so give me your thoughts

My wife isn't big on phones, as long as she can talk, text, and use the internet she's fine, she has her upgrade now so I'll be getting it and giving her my evo and if I don't like it I'll just switch back and give her the "one", and she has my og evo so I'll send that to htc for $100
If the one stays the same with the other carriers I'm looking forward to see how the development will go.

I usually preorder my phones so I can have it on release day but this time I will wait to see if multitasking is back. If HTC disables this core function of Android again I will be going with another manufacture. Its ridiculous that if I am looking at a web page then check a text message then go back to the browser the page has to reload. I find this very infuriating, especially with all the power this phone is packing. Sense 5 doesn't look promising with the live tiles. Judging from the last couple of sense versions this release will be throw together also and won't be able to handle this new feature without studdering and serious lag.

It's ok... The best thing is the speakers... All phones speakers should face you... It just makes sense. But other that I don't see anything special about compared to the new up coming phones.

So are the windows essentially just widgets u could add to the screen?
I'm really drawn to the hd screen, extra ram, and extra storage. I also really love HTC's camera software.
The one drawback is the apparent lack of mSD expansion. As a systems engineer, I carry enough gear with me, so I often use my phone at job sites, carrying suites of software tools, ISOs, etc. That's in addition to the usual books, music, etc. So not having more than 64gb of storage that doesn't rely on the cloud will be a PitA (all too often, I'm in reception blackholes).
I know it'll come in 32 and 64gb flavors, but I really hate paying the premium for higher storage capacity consumption devices/phones.
If the Evo flavor ever does come to fruition, I have to hope that it comes with a microSD slot. Further, if it is released, I'll hold off getting one. I'm pretty happy with the 4g LTE and the price will drop in like 3 months anyway.
I'm in the same boat as you, I like having expandable storage. I can't always rely on cloud services. It's actually quite a debate. Some people like to flame others for wanting an sd card slot. I don't get it. Since I use my phone for work, mp3 player, and camera, the more storage I can get the better. I don't always have data and life is too busy too constantly swap what I have in my storage.
I tend to agree with many of the points raised here. Lack of external storage is rough, as is losing the kickstand. Also, while the new camera has better low light, i think 4MP is too low to allow for cropping. I'd have preferred a camera as good as Lumia 920.
