The epic is a better phone, but only marginally so in benchmarks and real world tests. The evo does not even come close to comparing to either the shift or the epic. It is almost 1 year old and it is showing its age. So if you think the evo is better than shift don't post it here you just sound like a bitter wanna be techie defending his phone, with little to nothing to back it up. The camera and the hdmi is the only thing the og evo has over it. Also the processor on the evo and the epic are not as good as the shift.
The epic does beat it out with the screen and the camera, but is on par with the shift in real world tests and benchmarks.
Yes dual core second gen cpu's will be faster but are gonna have a horrible battery life because they require much more power to run.
And since I am not one to talk out of my ass like all the wanna be techies here I will post my data.
HTC Evo Shift 4G (Sprint) - Benchmark Test Results
In just about every benchmark the evo gets stomped. And since I know all you wanna be techies will try and say otherwise, all I will say is prove what you say with hard evidence. Show me real world video or benchmarks that show the evo as a better phone.
Just don't post any more ignorant info. |
While I do agree that the Shift and Epic are superior by a decent margin hardware wise, some of your information is a little flawed...
for example, the link you gave..I can tell you 100% has Epic and Evo both running 2.1 instead of 2.2...
I will go over every benchmark for you..
FPS2D: In this category Evo has 30fps, this shows the benchign of Evo was done before the 30fps cap was lifted that was caused by the HDMI..the Epic is also FPS capped in the benchmark to 55-56fps..it still capped at that now but we have a hack to lift it..
An3DBench: not too familiar with this one but I'm sure FPS cap is effecting them both as its a GPU benchmark..also to note is Epic dithers at 24bit while snapdragons dither at 16bit..this gives Epic lower scores then it really should have if it was equal..
Linpack: The most flawed benchmark there is..well one of the..this is how I knew Evo was running 2.1, the snapdragons have an VFP which is a virtual floating point accelerator..which effectively makes all floating point benchmarks useless on the Evo and Evo shift or any snapdragon based phone running 2.2 as your not testing the CPU power, your testing the VFP..
NBench: I am not exactly familiar with this benchmark tool..but I don't see why the shift looses to an Evo on a memory benchmark..this shouldn't be..
Benchmark: Judging by the scores I am guessing this is Quadrant Pro..the CPU score is same story as linpack
Nenamark: Same as An3DBench..
As for the Dual Cores...they will not use up more energy..why do you think they will? The Dual Cores are based on Cortex A9 architecture rather then the older Cortex A8, this gives it power saving right there..not to mention most of them have smaller dye sizes..Tegra 2 for example is 40nm..some others are even 32nm and 28nm...this saves a lot of battery..
Also dual core is not something that will just waste power as most of the time the CPU is in idle, when use is necessary the Dual Core CPU will process data faster then a single core..thus save power..think of it like cars..with 10 gallons of gas, you will reach more miles per gallon traveling 20 miles an hour rather then 80 miles an hour..
That said Dual Cores won't even be able to use both cores till Honeycomb :/
