HTC EVO 3D: Device Review

This is a review of Sprint’s HTC EVO 3D.  This is a slight upgrade from the original HTC EVO 4G with one main added feature, taking 3D photos and watching 3D movies.  The EVO 3D also got a usability upgrade placing the camera clicker on the side of the phone rather than making you touch the screen itself to take a picture.  Touch sensitivity increased from the original.  With all the upgraded usability upgrades in mind I would rate this: 
Usability 9.5 out of 10

Next test is the battery life.  Looking at the original HTC did make this phone have a slightly longer battery life.  I was able to use it most of the day with a decent amount of usage and it came out ok.  This version also has an expandable battery pack but it leaves it feeling bulky and heavy.  The added battery does help it last much longer but is not generally need for this phone.
Battery Life 9.0 out of 10

Connection stability I thought was much better on the 3D then on the original.  I was more often getting a cell phone signal than the original.  Not sure if they made an upgrade to the internal antenna but I definitely saw an improvement. Wifi no change but the speed did obviously increase from the regular 3G signal.  The 4G feature is also present but eats a ton of battery so I never really use it.  But when 4G works it works great.
Connection Stability 9.7 out of 10

Overall speed and responsiveness of the HTC EVO 3D is quite an upgrade from the original as I mentioned before touch sensitivity increased immensely with this new iteration.  The processing speed when loading apps is also an improvement.  All the load times and transitions from one app to another are crisp and clean.
Speed 10 out of 10

I know this post will be dated but if you’re thinking of jumping to this phone from the original HTC EVO 4G, I would highly recommend doing so.  A lot of improvements and upgrades were added.  My overall feel for functionality and reliability are very high.  Check one out at your local Sprint store.

Overall 9.55 out of 10
