[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Yeah I could, but it doesn't hurt if its in the third post. I think some countries have cheaper prices, like the UK, the webshops in NL who sell HTC devices at much lower price are usual selling imported models from the UK or DE, you literally get deceived by those online webshops, you think you are buying an NL HTC, but in fact its an UK model or from another EU country like DE, FR, it overcame me, then you get an ****ty travel adapter with it because UK does use other power plug.

The pricedrop also has it sidedown for people who payed the full price, because they will lose so much if they would want to sell it, where as the people who buy now at discount price won't lose much.

I even sold mine HTC Desire HD, so this upgrade only costed me € 109 and an new silicon case from € 1,20 and one spare battery for € 2,50 all from ebay.

Would HTC still produce the HTC Evo 3D? The HTC Desire HD is also still sold and at an similar price as the HTC Evo 3D is being sold right now.

But HTC Desire HD was released in begin off Q4 2010 and the HTC Evo 3D was released in begin off Q3 2011 I believe. I just checked price off HTC Sensation and that is now € 350, so in my country the price difference between HTC Evo 3D and HTC Sensation is not so big, but where I bought it, in Germany there is about € 90 difference as the HTC Sensation there costs about € 380 ( I only look on internet ).
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
fast phone alright, but battery life is poo
[HTC EVO 3D] ronniecr7:
yeah at 207quid it's a steal!

I had DHD before, was really happy with my phone and wasn't going to upgrade it until late 2012/early 2013, thinking the Evo 3d can't be MUCH better than the DHD.

And I was so wrong, as much as I love my DHD, Evo 3D is just so much better. Much better screen in terms of resolution and brightness, dual-core, larger battery capacity and 3D as well!

I'm still in shock that I got this at 207quid, only paid about 70quid for the upgrade.
[HTC EVO 3D] petermg:
Yes I am very happy with the phone and it's MANY features and capabilities, 3D being only one but I do love the 3D features. I love the games too, just bought Shadow Gun on the market for .49 !!! It's incredible!!!! Didn't know our phone could run games that look this good. Plus throw in Chainfire3D, which I just bought, and you get even more game options. I am EXTREMELY satisfied with this phone!!! I'm surprised it's not more popular, however I did notice that EVERYONE on CSI MIAMI has one!! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
I didn't really rate 3D before but I do actually think its pretty cool for photos etc.

Shame I have no 3D TV or anything yet :p
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
I have been watching Avatar in 3D yesterday, looks really good though, but I can see if you watch 3D the screen uses alot off energy, but still its really nice to watch 3D.

You see an movie on an very other way.
[HTC EVO 3D] BlackMaster1991:
Darmstadt, Germany got it last week for 199 €

thats not even 1/3 of the htc-official-price (699 €).

so thats damn nice.

i got mine for 269 €.

yes, the evo 3d ist underrated. because the marketing was bullsh*t. or...there wasnt even marketing in germany.

i heard about the evo 3d because of engadget.com

otherwise i wouldnt even know about it.

it got more ram, which surely is a great deal for newr android versions.

got s3 cpu plus adreno 220. quite nice. not as good as sgs2 but surely a damn beast in this price category.

in germany, there isnt a phone, that is that nice and that cheap.

next thing would be sgs+ oder sgw..they cost about 280 oder 300...

the evo 3d is a truly winner, but treated as a looser....

htc, burn in hell for that treatment and the lack of marketing!
[HTC EVO 3D] thepyro6:
I blame Sprint. Releasing the iPhone killed it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sajibcy:
i feel like stupid that i paid 369€ for evo 3d in cyprus. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] tarassor:
When my contract has been finished i hesitate to change carrier and buy a sensation XE or a Sensation... price was too high so i signed up to a new carrier for 32€/Month for one year, and got my Evo 3D for 99€...

i think hardware differences between sensation or sensation XE are not worth the difference of price... and 3d is funny !
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:


Still not expensive of you realise that price was once in € 500. Some people are just lucky they life in an country where smartphones are cheaper.

If i didnt life at the border from germany and if I not read online that is was cheap in the mediamarkt in Germany then I would not have gotten it for € 289.

Even though I payed € 20 more because when I saw it for € 269 I had no money and the site off mediamarkt indicated that there was no stock in the stores.

So I kept checking and last friday they had suddenly stock again and so I went saturday and even though I could not try an show model I still bought or because I knew all the information from internet already.

And had mine own reasons for buying an new phone and selling mine new one, so I just did it and this has been the cheapest upgrade ever, other people pay even more for there contract then me.

I just need pay about € 600 for mine 2 years contract with unlimited mobile internet and I still have 8 months left.

So I still have to pay € 182,32 for mine contract but it is totaly worth because that is not more then € 4,20 that I in fact pay for mobile internet and € 20 credit that me and nu family can use.

But after its finished I will end it and go on WiFi with this great phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] fccfreak:
Hi

i have purchased the phone from HTC retail store(Czech Rep.) for 272€ and so far I am extremely pleased. True its a pity that they treat it like a looser phone and the the 3D is like a cherry on the top of the cake.
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Right now there is even already quite an good ICS Sense 4.0 port for the HTC Evo 3D, so its definitely still getting its attention.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f5nI7sdKpU

I think the price drop increases the owners off the HTC Evo 3D, while some stores will not lower the price and I guess if an customer really wants it he will also pay the higher price.

And also if I look to prices in my country then I see doubtful online webshops who sell it at an lower price, but imported it from like the UK or some East Europe country or germany.

And I just see the webshop where I got an good deal with mine previous phone the DHD sells the Evo 3D for € 389. So prices are very difference, its not like Apple, an Apple device you will maybe get an few ten euro's cheaper.

But with other brands its not like that.
[HTC EVO 3D] PoorCollegeGuy:
Sorry buddy, but my thread is better ;) :P lol

The EVO 3D is underrated for 3 reasons:

1. It has HTC Sense 3.5, known as the most bloated, memory hogging version of HTC Sense to date. Once we (read: if we) get Sense 4.0 and ICS, then a lot of that underrated-ness will probably subside a little bit.

2. Because it has 3D. While it's a cool feature, most people (me included) believe that HTC spent too much time on the 3D and not enough time on the rest of it. I guarantee most people would take the 8mp shooter from the HTC Amaze 4g over our dual 5MP cameras all day every day.

3. Because Sprint picked up the Samsung Galaxy S II and didn't ruin it like they did with the Epic 4g. No ****ty slider, no bulky Hasbro plastic, no garbage Touchwiz. While it is a skimply little phone that still feels like it'll snap like potato chip, Samsung did a hell of a lot better of a job with the SGS II than they did with the OG SGS and that's all around. No stupid gimmicks, just upgraded hardware. It's tough to compete with that.

And 4, if the first 3 weren't good enough, it's harder to get full s-off root with the EVO 3D than it is any other dual core sprint phone.

It's a fantastic phone and wildly underrated, but unlike the OG Evo, it actually has competition (the OG Evo did not have competition). This makes it fail in some comparisons.
[HTC EVO 3D] jurrasstoil:
I think we have Sense 3.0.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bear gri11z:
Yes we do

not 3.5 (officially)
[HTC EVO 3D] PoorCollegeGuy:
Not officially but it's our highest stable Sense release which is why I said that. Sorry about that, I assume a lot out of the people who read my stuff :P
[HTC EVO 3D] poopymonster:
Not poo if you're running meanROM v2.2. I'm still loving my evo3D since i got it in June 2011 especially the 3D feature! I have 15 3D movies on my class 10 32gb card and watch them every night putting my kid to sleep. It's great with Sony's Bluetooth MW600!
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Honestly what is wrong with an 5MP camera? In fact we got the more feature rich camera then an HTC Sensation, iPhone 4S, SGS II, etc.

We got two camera lenses on the back, where as other phones just have one. And because we have two camera lenses on the back we can capture 3D, so mine humble opinion makes the camera off Evo 3D more worth then an 2D one.

As you can give an phone still 8MP, but pictures normally don't really get better on it. I don't care if I take an picture in 8MP or 5MP with an phone as they never produce good photos like an compact camera does.

So I hardly would use the 2D camera, I would only use it for snap shots. Battery life on this phone is fine.

I'm using right now Mikrunny on mine Evo 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmoreboy02:
I cant believe people are still tryin to compare this phone to a galaxy sii. I had an evo 3d since day 1 and kept up til about a week ago. I kept it so long bc i kept reading bad things on the evo3d forum. I toyed with my friends galaxy for 10 minutes and immediately sold mine and my gifriends and bought 2 galaxys off craigslist. I recommend you try one before you knock it. The batterys better the camera is WAY BETTER! and there is no shutter lag. Better display faster sexier. The evo3d isnt even in the same ballpark as the galaxy sii
[HTC EVO 3D] prototype22:
+1

i have gs2 n evo 3d

gs2 is much much better
[HTC EVO 3D] fallenangle3:
:D I think EVO 3D is very good，it's very suitable for me~
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
You can't really compare the Evo 3D to an Samsung SII, but they are both great phones.

The Evo 3D got HTC Sense and that alone for me is already reason to buy an HTC and from all the current high end HTC's the HTC Evo 3D offers most bang for buck on the moment.

The HTC Evo 3D got an big battery, with 1730 mAh but it really needs it because like every smartphone its power hungry, if you choose you phone on fact off the battery then don't buy an smartphone.

But honestly I have mine Evo 3D now and I think battery life is acceptable, only watching 3D is really battery hungry, so yesterday I clocked the CPU on 1.2Ghz while watching 3D.

Its really just an matter off taste and mine humble opinion is that the camera on the Evo 3D is good enough, it takes good photo's when light is good and flash is like flash on any other phone.

And 3D photo's are taken nice to and that I think is an feature which I rather have then 1080p recording and if I go on vacation I take mine Sony Cybershot DSC-W350 for taking pictures.

Smartphones these days take good pictures, but still a compact camera does it better and is also dedicated to it.

But when holding the Evo 3D I can feel its build quality is very good.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmoreboy02:
Once again tho im not one of these galaxy who absolutely hate the evo....i just think it is a better phone. I will miss the 3d. I have an infants son and i filmed his 1st 4th of july in 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Well its Samsung... maybe they have abit more bangs for bucks, there design is not original and there interface is just meant to copy the iPhone.

I think it depends pure on taste which one is better for you, as I don't think either one are better, they are for me equals with an difference in the Android skin, only the HTC Evo 3D got one more feature more.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bear gri11z:
No it doesnt... Its slightly smaller
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
You mean in comparison with the SGS II? On internet I see that SGS II got an 1650mAh battery.

So the one in the Evo 3D is slightly bigger.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bear gri11z:
oh im sorry I thought this was the comparison thread to the epic touch.... my bad ;)

Epic 4g touch has a 1800mah (surprised to hear the international one has a much smaller battery capacity)
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
Nearly the best out there hardware wise? If by "nearly", you mean 10th place. It's nothing more than comical reading some of the biased fanboy views. I've got an Evo 3D and E4GT sitting in front of me. The only thing i'll miss about the Evo 3D is the 3D, and that's it.
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
You know I never heard off the Epic 4g touch. But I presume its the same phone like SGS2 but then for USA CDMA?

Just now I made an short 3D clip with mine Evo 3D.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXMg_65wFSc

Well ofcourse an HTC One X is better, but the Evo 3D is from the previous generation. The HTC One X also will cost quit much, the price in my country would be € 599 yes ofcourse you will always find it cheaper, but not so much cheaper.

And after the HTC One X the HTC One S is on the second place and on the third place is the HTC Evo 3D. One thing which I can see with HTC One X, even though they added an 720P screen, the RAM is also 1GB and that got the Evo 3D to.

Our device is similar to the HTC One S is terms off specification. 1.5Ghz dual core processor ( Only for people who use an custom rom ), 1GB Ram, 1730mAh battery ( HTC One S got 1650mAh ), 4.3 inch screensize with 540 x 960 resolution.

And another thing, the HTC One S only comes with 16GB, we can fit more GB in our phones because we can use an sd card and we can remove the battery.

So for me the top 5 HTC devices.

1. HTC One X

2. HTC One S

3. HTC Evo 3D

4. HTC Sensation (XE)

5. HTC Sensation XL and HTC Desire HD as the Sensation XL is just an HTC Desire HD with an bigger screen and standard over clocked.
[HTC EVO 3D] sajibcy:
Well money talk. Evo 3d is approx 380€ and galaxy s2 is 490€. So it should be better.

Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Mine gf also thinks like that. If something costs more then it should be better. She calls it equal work equal pay.

But this is not always the case, with many things you can expect something better if you payed something more.

But the Evo 3D is cheaper for another reason as its an great device and not worse then an SGS2, its just what you like, that is just taste.

Oh I can see the SGS2 for € 415 on internet, but its probably an imported model from another eu country like uk.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scougar:
49 dollars???? I'd like to know where, so I can get my wife one! (She's in the states).
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
I think its with a contract.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scougar:
lol, I was gonna say! Much like the O2X a very underated phone, in the O2X's case, LG were not quick enough to sort initial firmware problems (boot loops made big news, and non-working GPS). They sorted that out, but it never recovered from the stigma. The Evo 3D is probably in the same boat, and now with phones like he SGS2, the EVO 3D isn't desirable any more to the masses. In fact, they probably haven't even heard of it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
IMO performance wise HTC ONE XL and ONE S will be better than ONE X as the Snapdragon S4 with dual core beats quad-core tegra 3 in almost every test with a Adreno 225. Imagine how will be the quad-core S4 with Adreno 320....

[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
I read that they are both very good cpu's. But if the dual core in our phones is good enough to then I don't see an reason to upgrade to a newer HTC.

Maybe when prices dropped again.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Nah, We have Snapdragon S3 which is similar to Cortex-A8 and is not that much powerful. A8 was only meant for single core devices but qualcomm modified it.The best processor IMO is Krait......Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 (MSM8960 and maybe MSM8260A)
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Oh well as long as our hardware is powerful enough I don't see any reason for upgrading. Even the HTC Desire HD manages to ICS with Sense 4.0 I guess.

I love my Evo 3D, i've had it sense the first day it was on Sprint. I only worry about HTC not making another 3D phone I've almost had mine for a year and sense then I have spent a lot of money I have almost all the 3D games from Gameloft, 3D apps and movies. If I can't use them on future devices im going to be upset
[HTC EVO 3D] kd_koCiz:
Took pictures of a calendar from a same location, using Evo 3D and SGS2, sure the S pix are 8MPix vs. 5MPix for the E3D, yet you can read Saints' name on the calendar on the S2 pic, not on the E3D pic, which are blury, even correctly focused on the calendar.

So I reduced the S2 pic to 5MPix to compare the resolution. Saints' name still readable, so it's not the 5MPix resolution that is the problem.

Conclude yourself.

[HTC EVO 3D] nubsors:
So I had an Evo 3D when it was first released. I used it for about a month and then gave it to my wife and switched to an Epic 4G Touch (SGS2). I have to say that the biggest problem with the Evo 3D was the battery. I felt like I always had to be watching my battery level because it would run almost completely out 2/3rds through my day. Secondly, I felt like the Evo3D was under-powered in the hardware department. Yes the processor is a dual core 1.2 Ghz qualcom but it doesn't come close in terms of performance to the Exynos processor. I like my games, I like my performance, I like my battery to last. I had to choose between two of the best phones at the time and aside from Sense UI and the 3D photos, there really wasn't a reason to choose the Evo 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] bombader:
Oh yea!! +10 Main reason I got mine 3D porn
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
I would alone already not choose for Samsung because they just copy Apple. Mauw what's so difference in terms off specifications about an Samsung iGalaxy S2 and an HTC Evo 3D?

One reason why our phones might have lower benchmarks is because Sense is not an light skin, I believe samsung skin is much lighter, its only purpose is copying iPhone and I'm quite sure the skin off samsung is lighter.

People also choose iPhone 4S even though it has just an 800Mhz dual core processor.

So its not all about the hardware, also about the software and the brand. But one thing is true, the Evo 3D drains pretty fast, but I can still get trough the day and that is what matters for me, I'm not used different as I came from the HTC Desire HD and there people also where critical about the battery.

I think this problem with smartphones will stay because the coming years. The HTC One X has 1800mAh but I think it will drain pretty fast like any smartphone.
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
I though you Americans where prudish. But yeah the 3D rocks, you don't have many 3D phones, 3D is cooler then an 8MP camera or a 1080p video.

I'm going make for sure 3D video's, saturday I will shoot some more Kung fu video's.

[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
Nah your wrong about performance, at least when it comes to the gpu. The adreno220 is a faster gpu than the mali400, check the nenamrk 2 score tables. The fastest sgs2's are the ones fitted with adreno220.

Why the gsm models of evo3d get poor scores is weird because the cdma versions on 2.17.x.x firmware run well.

http://nena.se/nenamark/view?version=2 nenamark 2 tables

and here's evo-3d cdma version getting great scores with nenamark 2

http://nena.se/nenamark/view?version=2&device_id=534

remember evo is using @20-30% more resolution than the SGS2 too.
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
You seen this score off the Evo 3D GSM?

http://nena.se/nenamark/view?version=2&device_id=1346

But yes the SGS2 has also an lower screen resolution. He scored 43.70 on ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Just throwing it out there, but if you don't want your 3D, I'll buy it from you. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
I just did an Nenamark 2 benchmark with Virtuous S4X A1 Preview and I also get an higher score, I scored 36.4 fps.

And its just an Alpha this rom.

we need to track this guy down and ask him how he did it on a GSM rom!! j/k ;)

I bought this phone in macedonia for 0 denars in 24months postpaid agreement for 1300den ( about 20euros) in which i have 200sms 200mms and 200minutes for talking in all operators in macedonia and 1000minutes in my network and 5gb internet.. do you think tht this is good deal?
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
24*20= 480, 480-289= 191 euro. No I don't know if you got an good deal, but if you pay € 20 each month that means you pay € 480 after 2 years.

So your phone is far from free.
[HTC EVO 3D] phikal:
had a hd2, had lots of fun with it.

My contract finished in februari but since the costs of a new contract in my country went crazy i didnt wanna cancel the contract i have now.

Payed 319 euro at a dutch webshop.

Love the phone, just the availability of custom roms\themes etc is disappointing, even more when comparing to the hd2.

But overall i love the Evo, 3d is a welcome addition for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Did you get an imported EVO 3D? Because in the netherlands these low prices are often imported models.

There are not as many roms for the EVO 3D as mine previous phone the HTC Desire HD, but that's no problem at all.

There are more then enough roms for this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] phikal:
Wouldnt know if it was imported, got at belsimpel. Used tweakers to search for lowest price.

Yes, using King Cobra myself, for Sense 3.5 Mikrunny's is a good one.
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
If it was imported you will not have an Dutch manual and you would not find Dutch in the stock rom.

Yes I use pricewatch to, but because someone told about price in germany, i finally found out that phones can be cheaper in germany then in the netherlands.

Right now i run MikRunny 1.11 and that one is pretty good, but I also already tried Virtuous ICS Sense 4.0 and that rom is really promising and its just Alpha 2.

And it runs very well, only there are still the standard bugs like camera and 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] petermg:
3D is HUGE for me!!!

I love this phone, i have not tried the SGSII but I am very satisfied with this phone. I am BIG into 3D, when I was a kid I used to wonder if it would be possible to make a camcorder do 3D, and now I can do it from a device that I keep in my pocket!!!! And in MUCH better detail than a camcorder back then would have been. If I ever do upgrade, I hope it's to another 3D phone as again, I'm HUGE into the 3D effects. LOVE IT! With 3Dsteroid Pro you can make 3D photos with ANY phone with a 2D camera, but they are taken at different points in time and can't capture motion in 3D like that. Honestly the ONLY THING about this phone for me is that because of the 3D, it seems to make the screen seem SMALLER! LOL Even though it's one of the larger screens.
