Hello Everyone -
I tweeted earlier today that I got to play with an EVO 3D at Futurallia 2011 here in Kansas City, and I was asked to write a review about it in the forums so here goes nothing.
First off it is Light! - seems much lighter than the original EVO - but it could just be my perception - the screen also appears to be slightly narrower but still Large and In charge, but something about it just didn't have the "heft" of the O.G EVO
The Screen is Crisp and clear and quite easy on the eyes. The Home screen did not really seem 3D even with the 3d Switch on. I have been one to say from the start that the 3D aspect seems quite gimmicky but my mind has changed just a big since messing with it. Taking Pictures in 3D - Gimmick - I wasn't even able to MMS a 3D picture without the phone asking to convert to 2D, and pictures while in 3D left me with a "Meh" feeling....
Playing Games - NOT gimmick - the Spiderman 3D game that was on the phone was a BLAST to play and the 3D Screen was quite superb at playing it .
Watching 3D videos on youtube was hit or miss - you had to find the right viewing angle and some of the videos just made my head hurt - YMMV - perhaps the Blockbuster/netflix in 3d will prove me wrong on this - I was not able to test it..
The phone is FAST - no Lag... home screen transitions and opening apps were QUICK - faster than any other device I have messed with.
Last but not least - FULL HDMI Mirroring out of the box... [ See video below] .
I stopped by the booth 4/5x to keep playing with it - I Love it and Can't wait til it can be mine. - Not only because I'm a phone addict and I need something new but because the phone is just that good..
All in all - the EVO 3D is what the EVO should have been at launch ( except the 3d part) - and a Great device if you're looking for something new... - It will be hands down the best phone on Sprint when its released.
here are some Pix and the video I took of the Full HDMI mirroring...
Hope this was helpful to some of you
(Yes that is the New Sprint Motorola Global Device in the background - but it wasn't charged and I wasn't that interested in it )
Link to Video I took..
YouTube - Full HDMI mirroring out of the box with the EVO 3D
EDIT: Additional Pix
Additional EVO 3D pictures -
The # is 1927
Hope you all enjoyed - It was fun to play with and to get posted on the front of Android Central!
Thanks everyone for the comments
And yes yes yes.. I know the argument about Benchmarks etc... but I also know you guys like to see them...
