This review is from: HTC Evo 3D Sim Free Smartphone (Electronics)
I have been using HTC mobile phones since WM6, I have had bad and good mobiles but nothing has come close to this smart phone package for which the speed and practicality is mind-blowing.
From the box the UK version is running 2.3.4 (with sense 3.0), which may soon be updated from the current “gingerbread” to “ice cream sandwich”, An OS to also be used on tablets. Sense 3.0, HTC’s own user interface wrapped around android just makes ‘sense’: creating single click solutions and generally making life easier to juggle. For a full demonstration I recommend visiting the HTC website.
The GPS compared to other android devices is so much quicker and accurate. I had a fix within 2 seconds with an SE-Xperia and HTC-Hero at the same time having a wait-time of at least 60 seconds and still wasn’t pin-pointing to the same accuracy.
Switching between and starting apps is ridiculously fast; you shan’t miss a moment. The ever loved SWYPE mod for android is built in on this device making texting more accurate and faster than tapping away, just run your finger across the letters.
The DLNA for streaming videos, pictures and music wireless is fast and works great on 3D TV’s also, the only issue I came across was File formats but the phone does give you a choice of formats to save as.
The built in 3D screen, using voxels i believe, is really clear but has a narrow 3D viewing angle. The touch screen it self is very responsive along with the touch keys along the bottom.
The flash for the cameras is great and is set depending on lighting conditions, this can be manually overridden too if need be.
The battery life I cannot comment on as of yet I’m afraid as I haven’t had time to test it and I have been toying with it beyond normal usage, but don’t be afraid to voyage away from the socket after a good charge. A neat feature is that as soon as the battery falls below a user set level a new conservative battery scheme kicks in.
My only downside is that the phone is a little big. I do recommend from amazon also looking up a horizontal belt pouch to avoid sitting on the phone or being weighed down on one side of your trousers.. I’m guessing the screen would cost a lot to replace.
Japan already has an 8mp 3d counterpart with a 1.4ghz processor with no sign of a UK release date so how long the EVO 3D holds out above average Joe is unforeseeable but the build quality, potential and support makes it a phone that will last either way.
I do recommend this phone for android lovers and new android users looking for a good first impression. I would also heavily recommend this device for people looking at tablets as it’s hardware is better than most tablets and is more practical (minus the smaller screen) at the same price as an IPAD2(+3g) in the high street.

i was a iphone user since 2008, every year i had new generation of iphone, so moving from ios to android i was worried that i wont like the laggy android os and i had no choice because of iphone interface, it was getting boring, i was sick and tired of the same old boring user interface, then i decided to get the evo 3d. boy im glad i made the move it is absolutley fantastic, there’s so much freedom, im loving it, the phone is a beast its got a 1.2ghz dual core cpu that rips through the apps without any laggs, boy i would recommend this phone to anyone
