I will definitely not switch to the SGSII.

It looks cheap in my eyes. Even though the CPU & GPU is not as good as the one from the SGSII, there will be nothing at least for a half a year that will bring down the performance of this device. My opinion.
[General Topics] eman3316@optonline.net:
I thought the 3Ds CPU and GPU were actually suppose to be better then the SGS2, on paper at least. For whatever reason though, real life performance seems to be proving otherwise.

Ya we were referring to the new phone in the link a few posts up. The Samsung note. And I think the dell streak didn't do so well because Dell made it. If someone like samsung, who has been pushing the boundaries and has already made waaay popular phones makes it, then I think things will go over differently.

For me i wouldn't ever rock the dell streak, a guy at my work has it and it looks dumb. Plus its made by dell. But this phone I would have to take a look at.

Anywho back on topic.

E3d users thinking about switching to e4gt.... GO
[General Topics] kawaski47:
That's what I read too. Everyone saying that sgs2 wasn't anything special. But real world usage says otherwise. I also think touchwiz 4.0 is helping as well. It looks pretty cool, like the new features that were shown
[General Topics] eman3316@optonline.net:
Another little thing that I think takes away from the screen of the 3D is it seems like it is set in to deep and not as flush with the device. Alot of other device screens seem to be more flush with the front of the device and I think it looks much better that way.

Anyone else notice that?
[General Topics] felacio:
yep. that is one of the first things I noticed, right after "Jesus, is this really 4.3 inches?!"

I like how the evo 3ds screen is set. My screen protector doesnt stick up. I cant wait til the epic touch actually comes out and read all of the complaints. Bench marks arent anything to look at because i can make my evo look really slow or supet fast and my real life experience doesnt change. A better UI sells more phones, not just speed. In that case, i choose sense because if i want it to do something, it gives me a couple of different ways to do it. I cant comment on radios because i dont have a issue with my evo3d and the epic isnt out(my nexus wasnt the greatest).
[General Topics] Success100:
Agreed, I think there are two layers to make the 3d effect. Which why the sensation screen looks much more I guess "real". It looks like your literally touching the screen and not a piece of glass on top of the screen

[General Topics] sn0b0ard:
I don't need a SGS2. So no, I am not jumping ship.

On another note:

What is it about the Evo 3D forums that attract so many people to discuss the SGS2? This is an HTC form, not Samsung. We all know about the SGS2. It's been out since 02/11. It also has it's own, dedicated forum for people to discuss it. Are there users constantly making posts about the Evo 3D or other HTC smartphones in the SGS2 forum? It's almost as if the Samsung owners are on some crusade to convert anyone that doesn't have a SGS2. We get it, ok? It's a fast phone. The Evo 3D is also a fast phone. Both have pros and cons. Both have their own set of problems. Maybe the higher-ups here at XDA should have a forum set up that is specifically for discussion of phone comparisons? That way we wouldn't have to sift through SGS2 threads in the Evo 3D forum.

SGS 2 will probably give us a better camera than our evo 3d. Maybe be a little faster, but right now I don't need a faster phone. I need a phone that can last a couple of days under moderate use.
[General Topics] daneurysm:
By your standard this thread would be just as out of place on the sgs2 forum PLUS there would be much less (nearly none) e3d owners to bounce ideas off of.

This also happened last year in the e4g forum too about the original epic4g.... And I imagine in every other sprint forum all the time.

Depends on the developer support :)

The larger screen is a very nice plus, along with the form factor and s-amoled plus.

We'll see. I'm in no way disappointed with the EVO 3D any longer (after the 2.3.4 update)

So, I won't be bothered either way.

[General Topics] Jorge330823:
I'm an ex og evo owner (I walked into sprint for a replacement because my og evo was power cycling and they handed me a nexus s 4g) and to be completely honest I like my nexus better. From personal experience radio is extremely better especially in 4g. I've had sense and blur devices but I definately think vanilla is awesome. If the prime is out or soon to be out at the time of my upgrade (December) I'm gonna get the prime. Id rather have a pure Google over another UI.. that's just my opinion.
[General Topics] daneurysm:
Because they don't have the same phone I do and definitely won't have the same E3D specific problems that I do and certainly won't have any solutions to help me with my E3D problems...Also, I have an E3D which is why I am here.

Seriously, if the problems that I am having could be resolved I would not be in this thread. I don't need the newest and hottest phone. The Hero and E4G showed me how long a good phone with killer developer support can remain relevant....thing is I don't think I have a "good phone" and I'm on my 3rd. I'm not denying that most other people have had better luck than me.

Perhaps XDA should have a "new phone discussion" or "I have X and am thinking about Y" section. Otherwise there is no ideal place for this conversation that will avoid whiners who feel a need to butt into a thread they don't care about and this same exchange that me and you are having will continue to happen in absolutely every other forum....frankly I don't see what the big deal is.

You want to be thread police? Take it to development where it is truly needed and very welcome.

+1

Granted, when I traded out to an NS4G for two weeks I did miss it. Though it was a grass-is-always-greener thing. I take 3D pictures all the time cuz I do think the effect is cool, but, where the hell am I going to view them? On my phone. So that makes these "my pictures", I can't share them as nobody else I know has a 3D phone, barely anyone has a 3D TV and nobody has a 3D monitor. Facebook doesn't have a 3D option, I can't even send a 3D SMS to people who also have an E3D. The image quality sucks in part from the reduced resolution, reduced brightness and mostly from the terrible cameras.

I'll probably miss it for a while but all I have to do is remember how they would just be trapped in my phone and really did look like crap anyway...the 3D effect itself is stunning but everything else about the pictures blows.
[General Topics] Jorge330823:
Isn't the nexus s 4g just an awesome phone? I came from an og evo that was forced on my I had no choice and I have come to absolutely love the vanilla experience no bloatware it's like the phone is left to me to create my own UI hy downloading apps and Widgets. It's pretty amazing. The samoled screen looks beautiful even under direct sunlight plus the design is amazing. And it's way faster than my evo ever was

That phone is soooooo fast and smooth. It is the "iphone buttery smooth" that Evo and Evo3d owners always chase. It comes that way, bone stock. OC'd to 1400mHz on CM7? Pffft...fastest and smoothest Android I've ever seem, hands down.

...I expect the SGS2 to be a hair faster and smoother, lol

Yea honestly i am loving my 3vo but with any new device be it a phone or something else there are going to be some buggy units out there. Back to the talk about the new SGSII i have an opportunity to win one so if i do i will prolly just test it out and see how it compares in my eyes to my 3vo and if the dev support is there who knows maybe i will switch, but until the device is in my hands it is really hard to say whether it is going to be worth it.

wut.

Oleophobic screen coating is made EXCLUSIVELY to repel fingerprints.

There is polymer in the screen coating that human skin oil (aka fingerprints) doesn't adhere to very well, and "repelling makeup", though I'd guess it would also be a feature, isn't ever mentioned by the creators of it.

Nothing solid about the Prime or if and when Sprint would get it. Plus when the Prime is announced I am sure their will be something better a few months after that. You just have to pick you battles.

If the Prime comes to Sprint and is the next best thing, well maybe I will jump to the Prime as well but until then I will get what I am happy with now and not wait for the next best thing because if that is the case I would never get anything.

It's not hate at all. We all bought this phone predetermined to love it...and I can promise you that we all did. Hell, I've gone through 3 of the damned things I love it so much...but I keep having to try harder to love it given the laundry list of annoyances and the much shorter list of "holy **** I just can't live like this" problems.

Not hate. Please stop thinking that because somebody has a different experience with something you like that there is hate. That infuriates me. We can't confirm your bias, I'm sorry.

A great many of us have unlivable problems with a phone that we paid hundreds of dollars for (some as much as $700) with the intention of keeping and loving. It is actually heart breaking so please don't conflate this with hate. This isn't a "sgs2 vs e3d" thread, that's where the hate comes out. We are spurned customers discussing our options.

EDIT: ..and another thing, I can tell that everyone with complaints here has the damn phone....cuz I can confirm almost every single issue....nobody is making **** up here, bro.
[General Topics] eman3316@optonline.net:
Yup, and I will be buying the SGSII and if the Prime comes out i might buy that one as well.

Why does it bother people so much when we want to buy a new device? After my sale of my 3D I will be ahead of the game and when the next great device comes out I have an upgrade on my other line wich I can use and I will sell my SGSII and will be ahead of the game now.

In the meantime I am living in the now and not a few months from now so I want what I believe I will enjoy today and right now that is not the EVO 3D. There is just some things I am not happy about with the 3D.
[General Topics] MILH0U5E:
Besides it being a Samsung device, I have one concern... Screen Resolution.

What's this beast going to look like compared to my 3d? I know the amoled screen has better colors, but what about sharpness?

I had a NS4g and it just didn't look as sharp/crisp/detailed as the 3d.
[General Topics] Overstew:
It's got a 480x800 pixel resolution. This means it's not going to be as crisp as the 3D (3D is 540x960 pixels). The only other phone with a qHD display would be the Photon.

I think Samsung makes the best hardware, hands down. It's just their software department needs to be literally, replaced. Nexus is a great combo for hardware/software.
[General Topics] swaze:
Dude....it doesn't bother anyone IMO. People simply dont care if you are getting a new phone. This isn't the place to whine and complain about your issues with the phone, I would think a HTC forum or maybe sprint forum would be more apprporiate.
[General Topics] pukemon:
I disagree with the hardware part completely. They're getting better with phones but have a ways to go. Their hardware software could use some engineering in their other specialties too. What does suck about software is they're basically getting the os for free and slapping their brand on it and that's what you get. It would seem they might be getting better with their high end stuff though.

Must be a bad batch of phones everyone with problems received. I have had mine since day before launch and not had one problem. I might buy the SGS2 just for fun. Fortunately I have the luxury of doing so and still keeping my 3d as well.
[General Topics] kawaski47:
I don't think that's a fair comparison. This is not comparing SAMOLED+ vs qhd screen quality
[General Topics] eman3316@optonline.net:
Why do you insist on coming into this thread if you know what we are discussing and you do not wish to take part! No one in here is whining and complaining besides you so stop posting in this thread. We all own 3Ds here and have every right to discuss our phone with any other phone that is coming out.

To the question about resolution. My friend has a Thunderbolt which also uses a SLCD screen but at the same resoulution as the SGS2 and I can say our 3Ds don't look much better. Actually, at times I like his screen better. Sure, you can shrink the text smaller on our screen and still read it but on a such a small screen it doesn't matter anyway.

Now take a Super Amoled Plus screen and I am betting it will look much nicer then our current qhd screen. I actually think the colors and sharpness on the 3D are nothing to talk about.

Besides that, the EVO 4G screen makes the 3Ds screen look tiny even though they are both 4.3". I can only imagine what the SGS2 will look like next to it. I am also excited for the thiness of the SGS2.

That's the "Droid Prime" you are thinking of. The "Nexus Prime" hasn't even been confirmed to be the next Nexus device. The "Nexus Prime" that everyone has been speculating on could very well be the "Droid Prime" and the actual Nexus device is something totally different, though likely related.
