http://www.androidcentral.com/sprin...ils-leaked-expect-evo-3d-evo-view-4g-and-xoom
Well, looks like we got some leaked specs of the Evo 3D, sounds good to me so far.
•4.3-inch 3D qHD capacitive 960 x 540 px display
•1730 mAh battery
•4GB internal memory with 8 GB SD card, expandable to 32 GB
•1 GB RAM
•1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon CPU
•Android 2.3
•Dual 5 MP rear cameras (3D)
•1.3 MP Front camera
•records 2D @ 1080p, 3D @ 720p
•Dimensions = 5.0 x 2.6 x .48 inches
•DNLA support and HDMI port
If that's all accurate, barring any serious drawbacks, that's enough for me to drop my epic for it even without a 2yr discount (outright)

Might make me jump ship when this is released!
Ya, I'd sell this phone for $200 and possibly my Evo for a phone with those specs. Plus you wouldn't have to put up with the drama here, so consider me SOLD.
I am waiting until Sprint decides on its future 4G plans.
Those specs are sexy but ill wait a few before i get it
to see whats going on with the Epic and also the pros/cons of it from other xda users experiences
This paired with project leapfrog makes Sprint #1 by far. Verizon no longer has anything on them. EVO 3D will win phone of the year, even of the iPhone 5 when it comes out in August.
I'm excited i wanna see what the new qHD displays look like
HOLY ****! 3D Pictures? That's awesome!
I'm already jealous lol
Hmmm... sounds kinda cool, but I'm honestly pretty happy with my Epic. Don't get me wrong. It sounds like a sweet device, but it's just not nice enough for me to justify switching.

Even If sprint decides to switch to LTE, it'd come sometime in 2013. You're good to upgrade atleast once until then.

Very true!
I will consider an upgrade (Premier Gold) provided a new phone meets my prerequisites of:
- physical keyboard
- 4" screen or bigger
- better camera (most important factor)
Somehow I missed that it will be dual core, not just 1.2 Ghz. I'm a bit more interested now lol. Although, that display would have to be pretty awesome... Unlike the previous Evo variations. Yuck!

That's probably why it has a 1750mAh battery. To help offset the extra drainage.

You guys realise that our epic should be just as good over clock it to 1.3ghz and the powerVR gpu in our epics I believe are still better that the snapdragon ones. Plus that higher resolution on the qHD displays don't get as good framerates cause it taxes the cpu and **** harder didn't you see the thread that compared the atrix and other phones. I will keep my epic for now. I like my keyboard even tough it skips letters haha.

Wouldn't dual-core save battery because its sharing the processing instead of demanding it all from one core?

HTC Pyramid is the same exact phone (Yea, I know. Shocking news that HTC makes 45 exact same phones and just names them differently). Same processor, same resolution, with SLIGHTLY lower ram. LOL. GPU is utterly destroyed by the Galaxy S. Snapdragons are so crappy.
3D is just a gimmick. You have to have something that can display the images, and you have to wear those glasses. Its cool in theatre on the big screen, but on that little phone me thinks not.
I'll be keeping my Epic for quite awhile, planning on skipping the next gen just because I don't see it being much of a leap. When something comes out that my phone can't do then maybe I'll worry about it at that point.

Anyone else giving serious thought to moving to the Evo 3D from the Epic? I am. I know the bootloader is encrypted and that there is no guarantee that it will be unlocked but I just went to the Sprint store and played around with one for a few minutes.
What I noticed was that the screen was not nearly as washed out as the Evo 4G. I also liked how incredibly smooth the screen transition effects were. I've always liked sense but I also like TW3 and TW4.
So the one thing that really caught me off guard was the 3D pictures and movies. I was a little shocked at how cool they looked. I totally thought it was going to look like crap and that the 3D would be a feature I would never use. WRONG! I would probably use it all the time.
No, I've heard the 3D is pretty much rubbish. I'm sold on the Within which'll be released in about a month's time. A far superior phone imho.
what is the Within?
Edit: ah its the galaxy s2. That phone is the best smartphone made to date.

Sounds like your trying to convince yourself. I played with it a couple days ago and the screen definitely is no Samsung screen. I think i'll wait for the Within or something else down the road. Great specs and speed on the phone though.
I got it for my wife as a replacement for her epic. She loves it... And I must admit the phone is pretty darn good... Is smooth and responsive... I'm still holding on my epic for now...

Because they don't get to bash it for having a weaker GPU like they did with the Evo 4G.
I had and evo 4g it is agreat phone , also had the nexus s and now the epic they all hav e there ups and down I do want a gs2 phone tho if it is slim as the european version I'm definetely gettin it, my upgrade is do in december (maybe I get the nexus 3 if avaiable for sprint) so will see what's out then I was gonna get and evo 3d but qhd doesn't convince maybe it would if ithad sper amoled screen that's one of the reason I like the epic and the nexus, evo screen suck compare to my iphone 3gs, but for now the epic is doing good I hope gingerbread is out soon for epic

Anyone who does want this piece of s**t of a phone anymore is thinking about the 3D. I'd switch in a heartbeat if my upgrade was available. I can't wait to switch to a different phone and probably a different carrier so I can smash this Samsung piece of s**t to pieces with a hammer.

the gpu is a single gpu.. thats all, no tom foolery its not a quadcore gpu with a dual core cpu..
as you can see from the chart.. the nexus s gets 20.9 fps, to get the same performance of an evo3d on this test (bear in mind this is a graphics/gpu test so cpu does have a small part to play in it but not as much) i could overclock my nexus s 4g to 1.4ghz and stomp the stock evo3d...
now why does this matter? you are taking a 1ghz single core, doubling the cores and adding a 20% boost to clock speed to get this kind of.. "performance" boost... now just to be fair ill post the scores of the pro version
now we can get to the good stuff sure the htc evo3d is now on the top, congrats hurrah! please refer back to number 1. you are talking about a cpu that has 220% performance boost, a brand new gpu.... and you get a increase in 11.5 frames per second. now sure when it gets hacked.. and if it can do overclocking im sure it will further push those specs... but from where im standing right now the evo3d is a bit of a joke. ill hold out for the nexus 3 or the sprint within... kthxbai
also as a side note i think its funny how a tegra 2 phone like the atrix takes a 9 fps hit compared to the stock android lg g2x, clearly motoblur is for the best
I was all excited about dual core phones till my roomie got an atrix. Android just isn't ready for it yet. Aside from benchmarks you can't really feel a difference.
Unless I see a massive change before my upgrade (in November), I'll hold out until the new phones are announced at CES and the other shows in the early spring. I'm hoping for a phone that is better than qHD (a la retina display).
So its funny by now we all know a new device with the same specs as our last device last month drops every 4 months or so.I was doing some thinking and I love this device its specs beat lots of other dualcore phones and match others the Atrix really is a future proof device from the 16gigs On board to the DDR2 1gig ram and Tegra2 Qhd screen I mean sure we have no NFC chip but that chip won't stop it from being fast or future proof.Look at the Evo3D vs Atrix we have better ram and Way more Rom 16gigs vs 4 same with sensation and G2X the Photon is the same device but with 4.3 and Better data speeds Umm what else nothing else beats Atrix I mean yes the Gs2 is nice and the Htc Holiday but man 4.5 idk and we don't know the full specs and they will still only run 1gig ram and not DDR2 I bet so in All I love this baby I have had it from day one but I just returned to it 4 days ago I was on the G2X and Sensation witch I still have.

ATRIX... starwars... 1.5ghz..... link me!
Making a smartphone with full of newest specs is easy for any OEMs but it is hard to make a STABLE smartphone with no BUGS or glitches. That's where atrix is way above than the S2, Sensation, LG's end others. I always said that Sensation, S2 wouldn't last more than 6 months without something broken. I wasn't wrong, just check their forums, lol. Atrix was advertised as the " Worlds most powerful smartphone " and that still counts.
just my 2 cents.
The only thing holding the Atrix back is it's software. The stock ROM is kinda poor when compare to others and we don't have a completely stable AOSP ROM base yet. I know the custom ROM do a great job of making this phone FLY, but once we have a clean build and some more ROMs not hindered by Blur, this will be a tough phone to beat for some time. Case in point, look at quadrant numbers (I know they mean little) on Atrix's with clock speeds of 1.2 and 1.3 ghz...they are through the roof, and I believe and above S2's of the spec. Why Moto doesn't doesn't write better ROM's is a mystery to me.
Edit 1.3ghz Typo .....remove stick from A$$ slowly and proceed to your nearest exit

the LTE part is great even though we probably wont have a fully rolled out LTE network till 2014 but the Quad core would definitely help with the over all smoothness of the OS and insure an upgrade to the Jelly Bean or what ever the next OS will be.
I want the note, but if not, Im 50/50 between the E1 and the SG3. Probably will have to see them both in person to make a decision. Baby mama is switching to sprint and wants my ET4G, time for an upgrade for Phatmanxxl!
Doesn't the battery seem a bit too small? I'm sure they have a larger one. Either way, can't wait until we find out all the exact details, exciting lol.

Which means by the time we get it on sprint gs4 will roll around.
I guess the reason we get phones after the other carriers is $$$ related.
Sprint probably pays less per unit after the phone has been out for a bit.

What are you talking about Sprint was the first to come out with a GSII and then T-mobile and AT&T come out with there's a week or 2 later at the time only the International edition was available
All the hyped units like the nexus or the note come later. Sprints cash is going toward network vision first. Phone models second. Verixon & ATT have cash to throw around sprint doesn't.
I'll venture as far to say the new nexus will be announced shortly after we get sgs3.

Yea but Sprint still hasn't rolled out LTE the main reason we don't have the Nexus and the Note was first released internationally then AT&T picked it up from Samsung and were still not sure if Sprint is getting the Note and if so im sure it will get LTE maybe that's why they are taking their time
the nexus devices coincide with the release of a new version of android. we won't see another nexus for at least another 6-12 months. i mean phones are JUST getting ICS.
Still gonna take them 6 months after the gsm version to get this on sprint.
Maybe Christmas 2012?
so leave sprint! i'm considering getting the intl sgs3, hopping on at&t and calling it a day. i'd really like some decent 3G. i don't make many calls so i'm not that worried about calls dropping or worse quality.
Amazing new phone with in my opinion a very clean new look!

Seriously? Headphone jack STILL on the top left? Do any of these designers ever play games or watch movies with headphones on in landscape? Probably the most annoying thing about my Epic is the headphone jack placement.
I don't really care for it.
It caters to me specifically and IMO I would purchase this device if it (the one in the pics) were to work with Sprint. Hopefully Sprint doesn't mess with it too much. I'm a fan

Personally, I actually like it a lot. While it's not mind-blowing, the TW UX isn't too bad, and it offers a few really cool gimmicks. I know for a fact it'll have a much bigger development team for rooting and ROMs as well, so I'm most likely going to get this over the Evo 4G LTE.
Hopefully this is the last GS3 thread. I will either lock down or merge new ones.

Hopefully it'll have the Exynos 5 Dual-Core processor (considering there's no chance of us getting the Exynos 4 Quad-Core processor).
If it's Snapdragon S4, then I'll have just have to compare the Evo 4G LTE and the Sprint's variant of the new GS3. Both of them having features I really like. The GS3 has a bunch of interesting gimmicks & accessories, removable battery, expandable storage, and a familiar way to root the device and install awesome ROMS on it. The Evo 4G LTE, on the other hand, has a better display, more Android-like, and overall a better UI (For the most part. I like the new GS3's lockscreen lol), and much cooler hardware design with a kickass kickstand (although, I like how the rounded edges of the GS3 resembles the Galaxy Nexus and even the Epic 4G. Wish the Evo 4G LTE was more like that)
Battery life could be a deal breaker for me too, considering the Evo 4G LTE has a 2000 mAh battery and the GS3 has a 2100 mAh battery. We'll see if there's any real difference.

It's just you - I think the GSIII looks amazing.
Check anandtech for performance numbers. I'd say industry leading gpu and top tier CPU.

Now that the galaxy s3 has been announced, and dropping this month on 5 us carriers. they tell us it has been downgraded to a dual core processor in the us. what devs plan on upgrading to this phone still?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Is ours getting the downgraded processor or is this still just a rumor? If so, that sucks ass. I plan on getting it though.

This has been announced. We will get a dual core 1.5ghz.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Yes we will be getting dual cores. But the qualcomm S4 is like ridiculously fast. And compared to the quad phones it really shows no substantial difference besides RAW power. Graphics, are identical, their was a review on the verge that shows they are very similar in the One S and One X.
Pre orders start June 6 for Verizon.

Okay. ****. The hype bug finally bit me.
Damnit.
Do I NEED a phone? Probably not. Is this upgrade I've been holding on to for 5 months now burning a hole in my pocket? OH YEAH.
The S4 is damn good and better on battery than the Exynos in all likelihood. The 2GB of RAM is a bigger upgrade than 2 more cores would be IMO.

It is nice, but the exynos is very efficient because of the small die

Is that really that much faster than the 1.2 dual core in the Nexus? I really was saving my update for the S3 but if the Nexus drops to a good price may go that route.

Benchmarks based on reference design: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5559/...mance-preview-msm8960-adreno-225-benchmarks/2
Choice quotes:
Krait and the MSM8960 are 20 - 35% faster than the dual-core Cortex A9s used in Samsung's Galaxy Nexus.

If you want to abstract by one more level: Krait will be faster regardless of application, regardless of usage model. You're looking at a generational gap in architecture here, not simply a clock bump.

Occasionally we'll see performance numbers that just make us laugh at their absurdity. Krait's Linpack performance is no exception. The performance advantage here is insane. The MSM8960 is able to deliver more than twice the performance of any currently shipping SoC. The gains are likely due in no small part to improvements in Krait's cache/memory controller. Krait can also issue multi-issue FP instructions, A9 class architectures can apparenty only dual-issue integer instructions.

agreed, don't let the "moar corez is bettar" bug bite you.......anyone remember Pentium 4 cpu's clock for clock when AMD released their couterparts? I do. Architecture is where it's at. How much gets done per clock matters far more than how many "ticks" you can go through.
Hmm, for every day tasks (multitasking between apps, browsing web, checking XDA, and the occasional angry birds) I don't see why the dual core with a whopping 2 gigs of ram (bump from the 1 gig the int. phones have) is any thing to complain about. Not like I'm doing complex and processor taxing things on the phone. I'm hoping for great things from this phone and am planning on picking one up day one. Quad core / dual core .... It's just a phone. I'll go to my desktop if I really need to... Lol

Finally us cellular gets in the game! Good to see, I will definitely be getting this phone seeing that I use it as a media player and it has the wolfson chip that supercurio can develop on. S2 disappoints me. Processor won't matter so much to me as I'm not depending on it to do any of my heavy lifting like my pc, so long as its dual core I'll be happy. More ram is definitely a plus. Needless to say I will be seeing many of you in those forums soon enough, doubt it will be launch day though.

A direct GNex vs S3 comparision. This is using the quad core but should be at least close.

I understand that, but you can just stick your microSD that you used on Fascinate which costs nothing... I don't know I just hope the less storage space doesn't hinder any development path.
