SPRINT HTC EVO 4G or SPRINT SAMSUNG GALAXY S PRO 4G

**justinsaneeeee** · 06-16-2010, 03:52 AM

Now this one is the big question im kinda stumped in. They both run 4G I know the EVO has 0.3 bigger screen, HDMI port, .5 GIG bigger Ram , 3.0MP bigger camera with dual flash, and kickstand. LOL. Does the physical keyboard make a big difference? Will you return your EVO and get the GALAXY S PRO ?

I thought I wanted a physical keyboard, but then I tried swype on my EVO. That is all.

Don't they both have 512 MB of RAM and front camera, and dual flash, and the screen difference is negligible, since it's the 2nd biggest sold. HDMI seems less important since the video quality is less than stellar due to compression/frame rate cap.

I guess i ment Rom one has 1GIG and other has .5 gig ... and yea they do both have front facing camera... but the s pro has single led flash and yea very true the HDMI doesnt really mean a whole buch but it is a loss

The "available" Rom for installation of apps on the Evo is actually quite low, and only just over 400Mb. On the Incredible, it's over 700Mb. And on most other Android phones, "right now", most have 512Mb, dedicated Rom.

So, actually, the Evo is the worse of the bunch for ROM....note, this does not include outdated Android phones.

And it looks like the Galaxy S has two led flashes, while the Galaxy S Pro has one.

As to the keyboard and looks, to each his own.

24bit Super AMOLED screen makes a huge difference for me. The EVO 16bit screen has color banding and dull colors. If the EVO had a better quality screen then I might have got it. Also prefer a physical keyboard.

Both look like great phones, (heck most any android phone on the market today seems to be hitting it out of the park), but you got to look a usability. I would want to play with the UI before making a judgement call. We all know that Sense is awesome. We will see.

Same here. Up until now I have always had a phone with a physical keyboard, and it has taken some time to get used to the soft keyboard. And, yes, there were times when I thought maybe I should have waited for a Evo-like phone with a physical keyboard.

But yesterday I got into the beta program for Swype, and it is freakin' amazing! Within the first few minutes I was already typing faster than I used to on my Treo 700's physical keyboard.

Ever see the Samsung moment let alone feel how heavy it is. now take that same concept add nearly an inch, plus more plastic and more slider hardware and were looking at carrying a brick in your pocket, not to mention in the past sliders have always had problems and samsung has fallen short on supporting phones after they release, i will stay with my evo and be perfectly fine

**Raf** · 06-16-2010, 08:36 AM

The Evo is way too sexy. The Samsung Galaxy S looks exactly like the iPhone. Why get the immitation...if that's the look you want, just go with the iPhone.

About the only thing...okay maybe two....are the Super AMOLED screen and maaayyybe the supposed eternal battery life that it's said to have.

That's just me though. I personally am glad this is coming out. Variety is the spice of life. The more the better IMO.

**mkampy** · 06-16-2010, 09:35 AM

Galaxy pro isnt released yet, but since I could not upgrade at launch, then I will have the ability to wait and see side by side...

Super AMOLED sounds interesting...
Price will be a factor for me...

**KoukiFC3S** · 06-16-2010, 09:37 AM

Wasn't too happy with my Moment. I'll keep my EVO.

**MannyZ28** · 06-16-2010, 10:22 AM

I am guessing the Galaxy S Pro is getting the same processor as the Galaxy S? That Hummingbird under the hood is supposed to be very good at 3d rendering clocking in at 90 million triangles per second (Snapdragon does 22 million if I remember right) as mentioned in that preview video over at Engadget of the Galaxy S.

That is the one and only thing I am envious off. I like the Evos screen, so the one the Galaxy must really be good looking. But the screen alone wouldn't be reason enough to switch.

**CrisG** · 06-16-2010, 10:27 AM

I don't miss having a physical keyboard at all.

Me neither.

Stickin with the EVO. Not a fan of slider phones.

**storino03** · 06-16-2010, 11:16 AM

90 milion is a theoretical value. Most likely it will offer around 28 as a real world value as from that comparison website

**fiskadoro** · 06-16-2010, 11:40 AM

I think the Galaxy looks nice, especially the screen technology, but like many, just not keen on the iPhone look and feel -- not just with the hardware, but also with the software! Of course, this is adaptable no doubt, like most Android things are. I think I'll stick with EVO for now, I'd be far more interested in upgrading in a years time to see how things have developed, and also, by the time this is released, I think the EVO will be nicely established with good community support. Still, it's great there will be so many more Android choices in the future!

Coming from an iPhone, using the EVO keyboard is wonderful. I do like having an external keyboard for games, doing SSH/console stuff, and the faster navigation (start typing to search, spacebar to scroll down).

However after my very poor experience with my Motorola Backflip being locked down and not getting firmware upgrades, I'm really nervous to use non-HTC phones. I know it takes HTC a long time to upgrade firmware, but so far they have done better than moto has with blur phones. I flip back and forth on if I like Sense better than default Android, but I certainly like blur and touchwiz worse than default. Plus I think Samsung locks down their phones more.

The camera is probably actually a win for Samsung. The 5MP on the backflip was pretty much just as good as the EVO, and Samsung is a real camera company. Also I think video on the Galaxy S is supposed to be better than the EVO, which kinda stinks.

The other issue is the screen. I have a very hard time seeing my EVO screen in sunlight, and it sounds like the AMOLED screens are even worse. Samsung claims the Super AMOLED is great, but I think that remains to be seen. If the Galaxy comes out and reviews say the screen is better in direct sunlight than the EVO, and it gets as hacked as the EVO has been, I'm going to want one. Otherwise, I'm very happy with the EVO.
