[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
I am making this thread because I know things are about to get crazy here (apparently they have already) with SGSIII and Evo comparisons. I just want people to realize that there is absolutely no need to lose any sleep or hair when choosing between two equally impressive devices.

The problem with this whole lte vs gs3 things stems from the fact that most people aren't confident in their ability to make decisions. Neither HTC nor Samsung have hid any features or specs from us, WE KNOW WHAT EACH PHONE IS CAPABLE OF, now it is up to the end user to make a final decision. The differences between the two phones have been stated over and over and over and over and over again, I seriously can't understand where the lack of comprehension is coming from with many.

Ultimately I personally chose the EVO and purchased it just a few hours go after weeks of evaluation and Samsung finally releasing the U.S versions specs. Also my local BestBuy somehow had one for me even though my pre-order stated it'd take over a week.

I'm a firm believer in doing research and making my own decisions based on my personal needs, so here is what led me to choose the EVO over the Galaxy and in the end it ultimately came down to prefrence becasue both phones are virtually identical in terms of real-world use (You will NEVER use 2gb of ram on a cell-phone..And I will NEVER eat those words :) )

One of the main deciding factors for me was brand loyalty. I have been with HTC since the Kaiser and the OG Evo still remains the most awesome phone ever invented (mostly due to the dev community here (: )

Another deciding factor for me was the design and look/feel of the Evo. At first I despised the multicolored back but after experiencing the phone in person it sold me. The design of this thing is truly beautiful and I can always mod the back if I feel it necessary. I do like the design of the Galaxy as well, but I am fairly certain that the build quality of it is not on par with the Evo. This is how it's always been with HTC v.s Samsung and Samsung has made it obvious that they are fine with this.

So there you have it. Those were my primary two deciding factors that ultimately pushed me to the Evo even though i'v been leaning towards the galaxy for the past few weeks.

To me all of the other differences between these two phones are very much irrelevant. 1gb vs 2gb ram. Sense vs TouchWiz. Screen differences (this was actually a middle ground deciding factor for me because when I first saw the LTE screen it really did blow me away) and most of the other minor differences

will have absolutely no impact on the large majority of users day to day experience.

But like I said earlier guys, Ultimately the decision of what phone to get really shouldn't be that hard for you. My gut played a huge factor in helping me decide and I highly suggest you all listen to yours as well.

The worst case scenario is that you purchase the phone, don't like it and return it within your two week test period, then rinse and repeat...Unless you are one of the very few people in the DARKEST timeline--in that case you are screwed because you will most likely brake your phone within a week and have forgotten to get insurance on it and you won't be able to figure out a way to convince Bestbuy or Sprint to add it on...but don't worry, this most likely won't happen to you :)

Either way, don't let all of this EVO vs sgsIII non-sense have a huge impact on your decision because most of the stuff you hear here is 100% personal bias and nothing more. Also don't be phased by the "all the bug" threads cropping up. If you have purchased a smart-phone before, within it's first 6-months of life then you will know there is absolutely nothing to worry about. These manufacturers invest A LOT of money into testing and insuring the quality of these devices, software bugs are nothing to spill milk over. It's the same thing with video games (I.E Diablo III) and every electronic on the market.
