The Htc Evo 3D is limited brother to the Evo 4G, the first 4G smartphone released in the Us by Htc and Sprint. Touted to be the heir to the movable kingdom Sprint has built, the Htc Evo 3D has a lot of habitancy interested, what with its 3D-capable features. But will the Evo 3D actually live up to the hype? Is it actually worthy to replace the Evo 4G? Brushing up with an Htc Evo 3D divulge should riposte anything questions you might have.
The Htc Evo 3D is running on Htc's Sense 3.0 Ui at the same time as Android 2.3.3. Qualcomm's dual-core Snapdragon is quite fantastic, taking Gingerbread to a whole new level of seamlessness that would make quick work of assorted applications. There are no delays. There are no lags. Besides putting in camera passage from the lock screen, the Sense 3.0 mostly offers style over function, with fancy 3D effects to boot, that have already been in existence with the Gingerbread. Having sense might be a downfall actually for the Htc Evo 3D because plain old Android already works seamlessly. However, some habitancy prefer using Sense so there remains a market for the software.
Just to make every person happy, some habitancy are just finding for a way to at least be able to turn off Sense or be in case,granted with lawful Roms that don't need Sense to run. As with any new handsets, the Htc Evo 3D is preloaded with a bunch of applications that (supposedly) add value to the unit. Most of what's been installed though can be easy to take off though if you don't want them but a lot of them are actually useful so you might consider removing them all. Some of the most useful applications that have been preloaded into the Htc Evo 3D comprise Swype, Qik Video, Polaris Office, Amazon Mp3, and Adobe Reader. To take advantage of the full 3D features of the phone, the Htc Evo 3D can play 3D games and 3D movies.
As for hardware, the Htc Evo 3D runs on a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor and 1Gb or Ram, in conjunction with a dual-mode radio. Screen is at 4.3 inches with a 960x540-pixel qHd super Lcd, with viewing angles, black levels, color saturation, and brightness very similar to the Htc Sensation. Other than getting washed out with direct sunlight, the Evo's screen works pretty well. Connectivity options comprise Wi-Fi b/g/n, WiMax, Bluetooth 3.0, Cdma/Ev-Do Rev. A, and Gps/Agps. WiMax doing has also been reported to be substandard, but this may just be a case of low signal strength. Battery life is also somewhat bleak, clocking in at just 14 hours and 44 minutes to drain down to 7%.
The cameras have to be talked about separately because 3D imaging is the reason why the Htc Evo 3D was made. There are two 5 megapixel auto-focus cameras at the back of the phone with dual Led flash. The panel serving to protect the camera is a downside though because it creates noticeable halos wherever entertaining lights are involved. Light metering is flaky but color equilibrium is fairly spot on. The problem worsens when 2D shots are taken.
Overall, the handset is a fairly impressive unit in that it was able to improve upon its predecessor's flaws in horsepower. However, all things else seems to leave the consumer out in the cold. If you're dead serious about 3D imaging, then the Evo's cameras may be worth checking out.
