Comparing 3D vs Iphone 4

Tell me what 3D cant do that iphone 4 can do?

We got Angry Bird and Cut the Rope. I have not install a UPC scanner yet. Its Red something?

That video chat thing, 3D got it too.

Not to mention hardware and big screen, which 3D I know definately win in this category. And we can change all the battery and microSD we want.

And it is almost as thin as the iphone.

So I think the 3D wins now. But what can we say about iphone5 coming out this summer?

I think HTC is narrowing the gap on iphone.

You do realize to say a product this year is catching up to the iphone of last year is kinda an insult to the product..right? lol..the 3d SHOULD be superior to products of last year...I don't even see a reason to compare the 2 :/

Lastly, dont forget if there is no Apple, all the smartphone is over taken by chinese again, just like all the consumer electronics.

Not really..and apple products are Chinese products..they are jsut designed by Apple...

Also Samsung and LG are not chinese, they are Korean and they make most of the products in Korea, not china.

I owned an EVO 4G for almost a year before I switched to an iPhone 4. I did it because I was tired of messing with my phone (rooting, taskbars, themes and general hacks) and wanted a phone that just worked, out of the box, with no additional work from me.

That's same reason I got the Epic, It just "works" ..I actually used stock rom most of the time...biggest reason I load up custom roms is to improve battery life (not that its been bad, just wanted to push it to the limit) and tethering...

Each device has it's pros and cons, plain and simple. I personally think Android is a great OS and believe that it will surpass iOS in sales/usage within the next 12-18 months.

It already surpassed iOS in sales...not on the Tablet front yet but on the smartphone front definitely..

BlackBerrys also have their place in business and I can see why many companies use them for their employees.

Thing about blackberries is, most people that have been using blackberries were not business people but teens/young adults...as texting devices somewhat...RIM's failure to recognize that is one of their biggest downfalls...Of course I do see a lot of people using them in business arena but at the same time Android and iOS are both quickly moving into that turf...and its hard for blackberry to get them back as these platforms become more integrated into people's businesses.

Is there anything that iphone can do that 3D cannot do ?

For hardware spec, 3D > iphone4 for sure. You cant dispute this.

iphone 5 will have face recognization login. I wish 3D has this. But if you broke your camera, then u cant log in?

If Apple copy HTC cool corossal, then thats copycat.

China and Taiwan is the same. One is red and one is not.

For any Android phone, sorry I have too choose HTC. Cause they own XDA forum.

No to Samsung or other phone. And definately no to Apple for me. I boycott Apple. I dont like the way they claim down their device. This is monopoly. You can go and see for youself that big company have the worst customer service!

Take better 2d pictures? produce better audio?..since you asked...every device has its ups and downs...

In raw hardware specs yes...not in all specs like as mentioned above camera and sound chipset...but overall hardware yes Evo 3d wins as it should considering iphone 4 is last years hardware..

iphone 5 will have face recognization login. I wish 3D has this. But if you broke your camera, then u cant log in?

SGS2 already has this so I am sure it probably can be ported..or you can wait for this..

Blue Planet Apps - BioLock v1.0

I am sure there is a pin code alternative, not just facial recognition..but have you ever considered how to unlock your phone if your touch screen stopped working? you cant plan for everything...

If Apple copy HTC cool corossal, then thats copycat.

Everyone copy everyone, everyone sues everyone, everyone cross licences each other ever after..

China and Taiwan is the same. One is red and one is not.

Yes...they are...Korea on the other hand is not..

For any Android phone, sorry I have too choose HTC. Cause they own XDA forum.

not really..right now they are embracing all phones...SGS makes up one of their most popular sections actually...

No to Samsung or other phone. And definitely no to Apple for me. I boycott Apple. I dont like the way they claim down their device. This is monopoly. You can go and see for youself that big company have the worst customer service!

Not true..it depends on the company..there are big companies with good CS and some with bad CS..based on reviews I've read Apple actually has pretty good customer service...Samsung usually wins JD power awards in many fields on customer service...HTC on the other hand has sub par customer service...but I hear its improving...

funny though i see tons of ev3d threads with issues out the but ranging from phone not waking up to weather not showing full temp. (1 in 100deg not showing) and i know theres not lots of iphony users but rarely do i see them posting all the issues ev3d has if any. i like evo4g better and seems to have way less issues. i like almost all devices better than iphony but i like to tinker (not fix) with my phones or i would give iphony a try.

this statement is incorrect. china is a totalitarian type environment where everything is controlled and limited by the government. Taiwan is a democracy like the united states is. furthermore in China they speak simplified Chinese while in Taiwan they speak traditional Chinese. people from china also tend to be more closed and reserved (especially when it comes to a slightly darker skinned individual like me) while the Taiwanese are more open minded and laid back. ok this is all I want to say now back to the EVO3D vs iPhoney4 flamefest.

Well Taiwan is part of the "Republic of China" and the other is "People's Republic Of China"..so they are "both" china...just not the same kind of china...

TW4 launcher is very light..someone ported TW4 as a flash-able zip that any phone can use..there is also an apk version but has some features missing...

And unlike sense framework as I said, Samsung includes cpu optimization in the framework..(this is a big advantage when you make your own CPUs...)



Well depends you can use an international SGS2 on AT&T network from day 1...and SGS 3 will come out in first quarter of 2012...Even without CM7/8 SGS2 is top notch..biggest thing that was slowing down the original SGS was their use of RFS file system...RFS is no more so you get pure speed!




Not really.. there are many new ways to get energy..not just solar..

like radio signals:

Georgia Tech engineers pull energy out of atmospheric hat, go on electromagnetic scavenger hunt -- Engadget

or this:

Researchers develop tiny, autonomous piezoelectric energy harvester -- Engadget


or if your into solar there is a new way to make cheap solar panels that will double energy efficiency:

Nanocones make solar cells more efficient, sinister looking -- Engadget

or better yet tech like this:

Mizzou Professor says nantenna solar sheet soaks up 90 percent of the sun's rays, puts sunscreen to shame -- Engadget

and

Solar-Piezoelectric Hybrid Fiber Could Create Energy-Generating Clothes | Ecouterre

And there are large companies actually working on standards for energy harvesting:

ZigBee Alliances developing Green Power standards for energy harvesting devices -- Engadget


..give it 5 more years and I guarantee you we will have a cellphone that is cell sufficient...



umm..android smartphones are not GPU accelerated UI yet...dont remember if honeycomb is or not off the top of my head...so SGS2 is fairly smooth with no GPU accelerated UI...

And thing is...the original Galaxy S with Gingerbread, Touchwiz and EXT4 actually beats Stock/CM7/Nexus S in terms of speed lol..thats how much of a difference the framework makes...

so what you really want is CM7/8 + TouchWiz Framework port...then you will see speeds beyond your wildest imagination...

Also people have been reporting really awesome battery life on the SGS2...

Samsung Galaxy S2 Review: Exposing the battery life

summary: 20 hours of battery(it was at 15% after 20 hours) with 10 hours of actual use and push notifications! gmail and twitter on! and wifi on! this is for stock..no undervolting or optimization!!!! or increased battery size..

man way too much, I can't handle trying to read this post, lol. I'll just wait till I get my hands on an SGS2

My iPhone 4 can go two days with moderate to heavy usage on a single charge and still have 25% power left. I'll bet your EVO 3D doesn't do that; certainly not stock.

My iPhone 4 can be fully charged in about 30 minutes. HTC phones have never charged fully that quickly for me (with the stock battery and charger).

My iPhone 4 never locks up, never has apps crash, never needs root for necessary apps (i.e. task killer, CPU overclock, etc), and never gets slow or unresponsive after running for two to three weeks without a restart (don't bother lying about yours, I can read all of the other complaints from people with your device).

But...

Your EVO 3D can load customized ROMs, taskbars, themes, etc. and my iPhone 4 cannot (without being Jailbroken, but I personally don't care about this anymore).

Your EVO 3D has some better hardware specs than my iPhone 4 (I would hope so, it came out almost a year after mine did).

Your EVO 3D has a replaceable battery and memory card and my iPhone 4 does not (though my iPhone 4 has Apple Care which covers the battery and 32GB of internal storage is plenty for me).

Like I said previously, each device has it's pros and cons.

Agreed. My EVO and 3SOME "just work." It's not until I start rooting and flashing custom ROMs that things break. Also, forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't there quite a bit you can tweak/customize on a jail broken iPhone?

Absolutely. You can add custom docks, themes, lock screens, icons and plenty more. That's why I mentioned that it could be done if jailbroken in my reply to chong.
