Sense 3.0 - Sensation vs. EVO 3D

**Phil Nickinson** · 06-20-2011, 04:31 PM

Here's what I'm talking about when I said the EVO 3D was faster than the Sensation. Not by a lot, and it's probably not going to be noticeable unless you have used both phones (or they're side by side).

Yea, it most likely because of the RAM. Sense 3.0 is a resource hog and the Evo 3D has a little more to work with,

**LegendarySoul** · 06-20-2011, 04:45 PM

Thank you Phil for giving out information what I needed. Good job!

Now I know what I want.

**The Chronic** · 06-20-2011, 04:45 PM

Phil, I noticed the same thing. Any thoughts on why the difference since both are running the same software, processor, etc?

You will choose one phone because you can spin a carousel faster in a circle? LMAO. Some people's kids...

I nearly spit out my drink at that. Let's not go down that road again.

Can we get a comparison on something important and useful like browser speeds, camera comparisons, speedtests?

3D? Nahhhh!! Pick other phone behind that both phones. :

**IceBone** · 06-20-2011, 05:46 PM

What about software versions? Evo 3D could be running something else.

General UI responsiveness is something that's very important to me. Laggy UI = extremely annoying. And Sensation Sense 3.0 definitely has a stutter after trying it out.

Granted it could just be a software issue which could be fixed with a patch.

I hope it's just junkie display panel drivers on the Sensation.

no, the implication is the EVO 3D will preform better overall. possibly be snappier. it shouldn't be based off this video of course because there are many other factors. however, this conclusion should have been drawn from the begining anyway because.. well... we knew it had more ram.

what this does seem to imply, as already stated, is sense 3.0 is a resource hog. not exactly mind breaking, but I was hoping it'd fair better in hopes of getting good ICS performance down the line (I'm fairly confident it will probably be had through custom ROMs, but I'll stick w/ stock for as long as I can).

If I were on tmobile, I'd pick the sensation just for the form factor and seemingly better camera given what samples have been shown. but I'm on Sprint, and I'm not switching, so EVO 3D it is (not waiting all summer for a new phone). here's to the review Phil is cookin up ::beer::

I have been sent from the future to annihilate the biggest Evo 3D troll on the planet! ZZZZAAAAPPP your Dead!

I don't care if a person chooses their phone based on the smell of the inside cover. If it is their money they are spending then spend it how you want. I'm buying mine because it will vacuum my carpets, file my taxes, cut my grass and lays a golden egg once a month.

I hear ya but I did switch to TMobile. Not only are their plans cheaper, they did a promotion over the weekend where you get free data for a year. Not to mention with GSM you get a SIM card, you can do voice and data at the same time on 4G and I can get an iPhone, Galaxy S2 or any other phone they sell unlocked and use it. As for the 3D being faster then the Sensation, I am sure it will be in a few areas but we will have to wait and see. You have no way of knowing it will be faster from that video. Could be as simple as the 3D's screen is more sensitive.

"why won't you spin!!?? " lol that had me laughing man! You're the man Phil, you're the man!

**VickMackey#AC** · 06-20-2011, 08:25 PM

I prefer the Sensation's implementation of the spinning home screen. It seems like it could get annoying really easy and seems way too easy to trigger that spin on the 3D.

You prefer lag?

Again, who says its LAG? The 3D may have a more touch sensitive screen and if it does, that wont be a good thing. We dont know yet until someone compares the two and if the only real difference is the 3D can spin a dumb carousel homescreen faster, who is going to care?

How do you know it isn't LAG? I've heard many say that there's lag in sensation on reviews and I've seen the phone lag on videos. I don't care that you're butthurt that your sweet little sensation lags on the main part of the phone. Stop being so sensitive everytime a phone you like isn't as great as you hoped it was. There is obviously a comparison video on the front page of this thread....and from what's shown, the Evo 3d is faster.

Sorry but my phone doesnt "lag" LOL. We wont know until a video is done comparing the two so relax.
