So I was 99.9% certain I was going to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S II, but now that ive seen the evo 3d, im stuck between these 2 devices.
Spec wise there pretty similar
Both have 4.3" displays
Both shoot 1080p and have ffc
Both are 1.2ghz Dual-core
Both have 1gb ram
Both have hdmi out
Only obvious difference is evo has 3d cam and 3d display but galaxy 2 diaplay is wayyy batter in terms of quality not res.
Build quality of htc evo 3d will be better, im sure, but the GSII is like half the thickness and very light, so thats sort of a draw. Release is around the same time and im sure price wont differ that much.
Which one should a person choose considering the whole 3d thing is sort of a gimmick and im going to barely make use of it???
And how exactly do you know the Galaxy's screen is waaayyy better?

I had galaxy s and have desire hd currently and the s-amoled is much much better than the DHD lcd and the evo also uses lcd. On top of that, the s-amoled plus is big improvement over the samoled so its common sense. Also ive seen comparison shots of lcd vs s-amoled vs s-amoled plus vs retina and samoled plus is easily the best.
Same dilemma here...
HTC = Sense UI, if you buy LG, Samsung or any other manufacturer you will never see Sense roms. Look at Samsung Galaxy S series, 4G, Nexus S etc... all they have is AOSP roms like CM7, Miui etc.. no Sense due to close source from htc, now if you buy HTC phone you can have both worlds Sense UI and AOSP roms.

Qualifying question I have is: Do you know that the Galaxy S II is coming to Sprint (hopefully without a hardware keyboard)? If yes, will it come out before the Evo 3D?

Yeah, there was a dilemma at first but they confirmed our DHD's come with s-lcd.
about the release date from what Ive heard, the sgs2 is coming out for verizon, tmobile and sprint around june, and evo 3d is also supposedly coming out in june but I think it might be sooner since theres and htc event for the 12th or 14th and pre orders might start soon but im not sure if its for the htc pyramid or evo3d. So who knows maybe itll be out sooner
I Have an Epic right now... and honestly not even thinking about the SGS2 ..
Why the build quality is **** the keyboard causes the screen to wobble everytime i touch it.
Samsung sucks @ Updates...
the drivers are stupid...
alot more development behind the Evo...

Rooting or unlock is not a problem, HTC is close source period. You don't believe me? Look on XDA any SamSux or LG they don't have no Sense ui period don't you think other dev have try to port Sense to samsug? It's useless, check all samsux on xda tell me which model have Sense ui?

I think it depends on which SG2 is available to you, will it be the Tegra 2 or Samsung Orion. The Tegra 2 is very underwhelming, but the Orion is impressive.
If it's the Tegra 2 SG2 (I think Europe is still getting these) get the Evo 3D instead. If you can nab the Orion SG2, get that one.
And the lack of Sense argument is invalid, since the SG2 will have Touchwiz, which Sense phones lack. Some people like Sense, some people hate it. Some people like Touchwiz, some people hate it. Having one or the other isn't really a drawback/benefit.
Personally, I would go with the SG2 (I dislike Sense a little bit more than Touchwiz), assuming Samsung doesn't use a ****ty file system again like the first series.
And really, the whole HTC vs. Samsung arguments are getting real old, real fast. We get it, Touchwiz and the plastic is not your cup of tea. However, some people love it. I love the feel of the Nexus S MUCH more than the feel of the Nexus One, but I like the feel of the DHD more than the feel of the.. Captivate. Preference. Saying "Samsux" is just childish.
Perhaps the only thing I hate about Android is that the community is split between HTC, Samsung or Motorola. There is no middle ground, just like iPhone vs. Android. It's one or the other and people will incessantly argue which is better. It's all preference guys, there is no need to impose your preferences on others so harshly, especially when we are all apart of the same community.
Edit: I also prefer SAMOLED to SLCD, so I am assuming I will love the SAMOLED+ more than the SLCD 3D of the Evo 3D, but I could be wrong.
@XanLinder, it's not about which is better. I'm just pointing out the facts that if you like TouchWiz than get Samsung or Sense than get HTC. You forgot this is htc section HTC = SENSE
Edit: I'm just saying that if you buy other manufacturers don't complain about there's no dev, roms. Look at the Nexus S development section they all thought just because it's a Google phone and it'll be supported by dev just like N1. But it's not they forget who make the Nexus One. Now they're moaning and *****ing cause they want Sense UI. lmao

Not necessarily because the evo will provably have pentile matrix and the new super amplest plus has 50 percent more subpixels per pixel. Early reviews All have praised the galaxy s2s display, slcd is good but anemic in terms of colors and vibrancy compared to super amoled

Just watched the iPhone 5 keynote...EVO LTE is still a better phone. Android Jelly Bean is still a better OS. My, how the mighty have fallen. They once set the bar, now they're just catching up and getting left behind. The sad thing is, they will continue to sell boatloads of phones and millions of people will still think their phone is the most advanced phone ever....until someone shows them an Android or Windows phone (that isn't $50 dollars).
I'd still buy an iPhone for someone like my parents. It's simple as crap to use. When apps crash on the iPhone, it just vanishes and no one knows what the hell happened, so they just think they must have pressed a button to close it. lol It's a seamless experience for technophobes.
I am STILL glad I bought my EVO LTE.
The hardware especially the camera look nice but the software was another disappointment as expected. They will still sell like crazy tho

I was expecting more hardware changes, NFC especially. At least they don't have the glass rear.
I'm honestly shocked at how little "new" is there. I'll give them a nod for the LTE radio, if it is indeed multi-band.
I wouldn't mind an exact iPod Touch clone to Replace my iPod Touch 4.
Edit: Seen the new iPod Touch 5, will be my EVO's new WiFi Tethered bro.
You guys missed the best part. They invented lightening. *face palm* the event was boring. Found myself laughing to the overly hyped new chit they "introduced". I'd say I possibly like the ear pods the most. Everything else was a snore

I can see this going well.
It looks like a great phone. I'm not a fan of the size personally, and I don't really care for iOS, but I can see this selling a lot. They obviously put a lot of effort into the details. Having a new connector sucks for people who have docks, but such is life I guess.
It's got all of the essential features that other phones have, like panorama and taking pictures while recording video, and it's an attractive device.
Apple invented LTE, right?

To be fair, a screen can have a lower PPI but still look better. PPI is mostly a buzzword these days.

Who has true, stock, functioning JB on their EVO? We're stuck with Sense.
The iPhone 4s camera is superior to mine on the EVO, so I'd assume the 5 is better still.
Further, the new iPhone will have LTE on Verizon and ATT. That's a true benefit over the Sprint network our EVOs are tethered to. Atlanta is live for Sprint, my ass.
Rationalize all you want, but Apple has released a beautiful piece of kit that will outsell this device by a factor of 500 or more.
Peace.

The screen isn't necessarily amazing because of the PPI though. This phone's screen is considered to be the best around and it has a lower PPI than the Rezound does.

Your attempts at name calling aside, I had a 4S for two weeks when I started a new job. I'm telling you, the camera is better. Period. If you disagree, you do not mind over-saturated reds and pinks, nor lots of noise in low light.
My EVO in real world application is a sloth when it needs to stream, download, navigate, anything requiring that thing called DATA.

What's there to research? I've read reviews for each phone. The Rezound does have a great screen, and a high PPI. This phone has a better screen, but a lower PPI. That goes to show that a higher PPI doesn't equal a better screen. Sure, it's a good thing to have, but it is by no means a 100% accurate way to judge quality.

My point is that just because the iPhone 5 doesn't have a PPI as high as the Rezound, doesn't mean that the display is inferior to that of the Rezound, which you implied in your initial post.

Xperia V. Not out yet though I believe but soon. It will be missing some features but Sony usually has some of their own to make up for it sort of.
The LG Optimus G as well. The screen is almost as big but it's small for such a beast. Probably the same size as a 4.3 inch phone. Probably because it uses on screen buttons.
Another vote for Galaxy S2. Tons of good ROMs and developer support. 4.3" screen makes it easier for one-handed use.
GSG2 resolution isn't nearly as nice though. Ppi way down on the s3 if I remember correctly

Honestly, go for the LG Optimus G. Quadcore Qualcomm S4, 2gb, LTE, higher than HD screen, 13 mp camera all of that into those dimensions somehow.
4.7 mm shorter, 1.7mm less width, and 0.1mm thinner. Not sure if that is small enough for you but that is a noticeable size difference except in thickness, where the GS3 is already thin enough.
Oh, no. Don't go for the S2! After using the HD display on the S3, you won't be able to use the S2. Trust me.
I would have suggested the Galaxy Nexus but I recently discovered that it's only 1mm shorter than the S3. It's not quite as wide, though.

Xperia T is pretty cool and its performance is just as good as the S3.Only downside you will find is the screen,even tho it's HD but it got bad viewing angles and is kinda reflective...Not to mention that AMOLED got more vivid colors and better blacks.But the xperia T got Bravia engine so pics and videos will look better on the xperia(but it's just an image processing chip so it only works in videos and images).Other pretty good option is the galaxy nexus,it's more compact than the S3 while performing as good since it's a nexus phone but you won't get an sd slot and the camera isn't quite impressive.

Samsung NEEDS to make an S3 mini for those who want a smaller device with uncompromised specs. Look at the iphone 5, it fits so much tech in so little size. I have said it before that samsung is really missing out on lots of customers due to size of S3, S2 is not an option for those looking for a flagship phone. Galaxy nexus isnt either and it's not that much smaller to begin with.

So Guys,
The speaker just blew on my rezound. I called verizon and theyre sending me a d-inc 4g. I think it seems like a pretty good phone, but one that will soon be outdated.
What are your thoughts on that device?
And now, the big question. I know its hard for us to admit, but is it possible that the iphone 5 is better than all high end android devices? is it the best smartphone out there? what do you think? Having been an android user for 5 phones, what do you think? (i love my ipad and macbook)
Should i get the iphone 5?
Thanks!
IPhone5 beats most high end android phones spec wise... Some say the gs3 beats it but it is a fact that the newer galaxy note 2 beats the iPhone spec wise.
Not to mention the new Android phones coming out soon, the HTC dlx, the HTC J, and the new LG nexus which will for sure reign supreme upon launch.
But.. It's all up to you, do you like to mod or customize your phone? Get an android
Do you like a phone that just works no bells and whistles? Then get an iPhone

2.) any "nature " sounds can be turned off and replaced. hell, every sound I use is from HTC phones.. gamma, vector, ascend etc

I could put aosp on it and fix the problem. but im still not sure if its the best choice.
again, ripple lock screen (which looks badass and is original, mind you) can be turned off. mine is off. It's a simple lock that shows up and you swipe in any direction to unlock it. Again, that nature stuff isn't really apparent at all on this phone.

What's better, the d inc 4g or the Rez?
Dinc 4g is smaller than the Rezound. That is a negative. Well, at least it is to me. I will would opt in for the SGS3 if at all possible. Oh, and one more thing. You get an iPhone anything. And I shall hunt you down and wiz all over that thing. Lol! No, in all seriousness. If all your other products are Apple. Why would you want to break up the "eco system"? Unless you really like variety and phone modding.
But seriously the SGS3 is wicked pissa kid! It is smooth even with apps loaded to the hills on it. Browsing the web is not bad by any stretch of the imagination. You put the proper ROM and kernel on it and the battery will last forever. I have it under clocked and under volted. And this thing still doesn't miss a beat.

Friend of mine just got an i5. Best part about it is battery life. It's really good. He had 2:45 mins of usage and was at 75%. I owned a 4s so I know I wouldn't want the new iPhone. I love my androids. But the new s4 and pro processors get extremely good battery life compared to the older stuff
I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but the iPhone5 is a GREAT device.
My girl has one, and it is just so smooth in all its graphic movements (scrolling), transitions, and all-around responsiveness.
I will probably always prefer HTC Android devices for the devs, ROMs, screen size, and Sense UI, but there's no denying that the 5 is an amazing piece of kit. It positively KILLED my Rezzy in a side-by-side app-loading and scrolling comparison. The 5 is smooth as silk.
That said, I can do more with my Rezound, I love my larger display, and we have the all-important Menu key! So for me, I prefer the Rezound.
By smooth scrolling you mean how it pulls system input to the top of ye CpU list, forcing everything else to stop momentarily?

I am planning to get a new phone and i cannot decide between the One X+ (international ver.) and the LG Nexus 4 (N4).
I want:
Extremely Smooth.
A nice UI (User Interface) to brag about.
A future proofed phone
Hard Gaming
Downloading - Wifi g/b/n optional /a
Above average battery life - lasts a day or more.
And lastly, i will not root my phone as soon as i get it - but i might think about it. But, it may be unlikely.
For:
I would get a N4. but, i hate the fact that i would not be able to get HTC's awesome widgets. - Weather...
The N4 is basically similar to Apex Launcher.
Against:
I am getting tired of the sense interface. It is very similar to Gingerbread. - which makes it kind of boring.
Nexus has the new gen specs - flagship processor, 2GB Ram..
I am actually happy with my current HTC Desire Z - rooted with ELITEMOD. But the thing which annoys me a lot is the battery life - 7-8 hours minimal use - no games.
Other phone suggestions are welcome. Not LG, GS3, iPhone.
PS. I like touchwiz, but the SGS3 is not a option.
I dislike the name LG, so it is not a option - Yes i am picky. With a exception for the Nexus series.
...A decently new phone which WILL get the Jellybean update.
Update:
If you are reading this in 2013, I recommend getting the HTC M7, Nexus 7, or if you are in the main stream get the S4, or the New Samsung Galaxy Note (not the note 2).
Rumours say the M7 n the new galaxy note will have a camera which is above 10 megapixels. Rumours also say the HTC M7 will have a tegra 4 processor.

How about the Razr HD Maxx?
3300mAh battery, so plenty for extended gaming sessions, and it is due to get Jellybean very soon. Might not be cutting edge enough on the specs front though with only a dual core S4 & 1gb ram.
I've only had my One X+ for 8 days and haven't done much gaming to be honest, but I have noticed that extended periods of browsing can chew through the battery, so gaming would run it down even quicker ( depending on your screen brightness level I suppose )
Tbh if the Razr had an lcd / ips screen I would have one now instead of the One X+ as I hate amoled screens. That was the only thing that stopped me picking one up.

Thanks, but what is so bad about amoled screens.

For me it's how they can over saturate the colours, and that whites can look more of a grey / blue colour than proper white. You do get deeper blacks with an amoled screen though.
It doesn't bother most people to be honest, and a lot of people like the over saturated look, but I personally prefer the more natural image quality & colours of a good lcd / ips screen.

Surely you know that the Nexus 4 is manufactured by LG? If LG is such a problem, why are you considering the N4?

Does the Nexus 4 have wifi hotspot, HSDPA+ (4G), and duel band (2.4ghz and 5ghz) wifi?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
HTC one X+
1.7ghz Quad
Amazing SLCD 2 "best display on the market"
Jellybean 4.1 with sense 4+ on top.
8mp image sense camera (dedicated processing chip)
64GB Memory, 55 available to the user.
Nexus 4
1.5ghz quad
Decent 720p display
Mediocre camera
Very fragile glass back
32 or 16 GB memory.
Idk why you ask when the specs are all over xda. I mean the nexus 4 will be smoother, and sense is too in your face, but I'd go with the HOX+. Sorry Google, but HTC has probably the best build quality for its phones out there, no argument can be made. Samsung and just about every other manufacturer uses plastics that make the device feel cheap.

I just wanted to know does it has those specific features.

Yes, but the user is allocated with a specific amount which lowers than 16gb and 8gb (which ever the other model has)

Just to chime in
I've been kicking around the same decision re: Nexus 4 vs HOX+. Having a Nexus 7, I love the look of stock Jellybean. Not a fan of the Sense Graphics/Themes and find the look dated (as mentioned in this thread already). If there was a foolproof way to install AOSP on the HOX+ and get the Google OTA updates, that would make my decision for me. If anyone knows of this option, I'm all ears.
Not to hijack the thread or anything. If I have to start a new one, I will. But since the OP original decision making process may require this info (really reaching here) then it could be answered without a new thread subject.
On another note, the reason for my leaning to the OneX+ is: Design: the feel of this phone in the hand is second bar none. Screen: Superb. Storage: Huge and therefore, lack of SD not a concern. Second Iteration: the kinks have been worked out of its construction, quality appears very good. Camera: One of the best 8mp on a smartphone with good camera software to boot.
Negative: Software: UI Design looks old, less sophisticated to my eyes. Updates: with stock Sense 4+ they will be slow and most likely stop before updates stop rolling out for the Nexus 4 stock.
Get the HOX+ its a no brainer really!!!!! Its the best device out right now!!! Even better than the DNA. I just got mine today, coming from a HTC ONE X, this phone is perfect. Its got 64gb of storage, jb, and sense......what else could a guy want?!!!! Its the perfect device in my mind.
