Battery life? The GPU and CPU will be 10x as efficient as the evo right now and rumored the phone comes with a 1730-1750 mah battery. HTC modified the evos kernel when the battery problem was awful and the devs here at xda took it even a step farther. The dual core will render graphics and multi tasking like a breeze without straining the phone. The rumored benchmarks are double the evo stock! I have mine being pushed at full speed and still get a day worth of battery out of it. The evo3d is a no brainier compared to the nexus s which is a year old and does not have an SD card.

What is the biggest reason that the evo isn't "Iphone" smooth? I got to play with a Nexus S at bestbuy a week ago and it really was "Iphone" smooth. Is it fps or something else in the system? Before anyone flames me understand that I love my Evo and would never give it up for the iphone, just a honest and curious question. Thanks in advanced

It's true; well to be 100% accurate, not all of Android is HW accelerated. Some parts are.
On top of that the iPhone 4 has a PowerVR SGX 535 GPU which is twice as fast as the EVO's Adreno 200 GPU. For comparison, the Nexus S has the better PowerVR SGX 540 GPU (twice as fast as the 535 in the iPhone 4) but iOS's hardware acceleration still makes the UI smoother than the Nexus S with 2.3. It's rumored that Honeycomb will bring full HW acceleration and that should bring it to iOS/WP7 level smoothness for the GPUs it will support.

I don't know, could be a number of reasons. Android was first influenced by the blackberry OS and started changing it to be more iOS like once the iPhone was released. Could be that its taken this long to catch up to something which was lower in priority. Maybe it's because there are tons of GPUs on Android phones and its hard to support them all. A lot of the early Android phones were from HTC (which Google used to build the platform - G1, Ion, and only comparably, the N1) and had some pretty crap GPUs, maybe that held it back. Most likely it was a combination of these.

I'm not butthurt at all. I should have said iPhone4, because that is what I was referring to. If she has an older iPhone then I would say yes, the EVO *can be* smoother. But If she has an iPhone4, then you need to get your eyes checked.

Sweet... from vibrant to mytouch4g to nexus s to galaxy 2. If its really got a dual core Sammy processor then we are talking Orion? If this baby comes out by summer then that best buy buy back insurance is going to be pretty nice!
I love my sns on cyanogen but really miss all the great codecs etc. Team whiskey really made the vibrant special. I hate touchwhiz but ifs easier to remove most of the bad with that and keep all the good with guys like team whiskey and supercurio than it is to try to hack all of it back in. You get a permenant rfs fix and get rid of the overlay and everything's flying high! The sns seems to have a better screen than my vibrant did in all areas save for the gorilla glass. Can't even imagine a samoled without pentile, its going to be amazing! Wonder how that Orion's going to card against qualcomm and Tegra2... gpu will definitely be nice at the very least. Qualcomm will probably always own the linpack scores but a phone is so much better than that. Lets hope by then gingerbread gets hardware enabled browsing...

Just tested out the atrix not a huge differnce bewteen the epic stock vs stock now I know it will be a lot better when devs get ahold of it but it was laggy because of blur made touchwiz look fast but still not a huge diffence against our epics
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Gotta be honest, that was hard to understand considering there were no commas nor periods.
It would be no surprise that the Atrix doesn't seem faster than the Epic. They both have hardware that the OS simply cannot tax. If there is a difference performance wise, it will be in games or stress programs. Even then, you probably won't see much of a difference in performance.
I think the only real world difference that would be substantial is if you are compiling on the phone(which I am sure there are developers that do, or would). Other than that, dual core or even a faster processor is going to be useless on these phone.

I don't see myself ever owning a device with a screen larger than 4" if I can help it.
Looks good, but no kb = not for me.
Keyboard doesn't really matter to me, the Shift was more about size. I think I could deal with a 4" screen

+1 too big a step unfortunantley. In the era of 2011 you can't have single core proccesors anymore lol. Only thing I could think to make up for it is if it was the new snapdragon Krait proccessors which are appearently 75% more battery effecient
Honestly, I could do with a bit less processing power if it got me a better battery life. To me, battery life is the biggest downfall of Android phones. I just got a 1900mAh battery (slim, no cover needed), we'll see if it makes much difference...fingers crossed.

I wouldn't call a 1.2gHz phone crap. It won't be as fast as a dual core, like the 3D, but it will be faster than the shift, and have a larger, higher resolution display, plus Sense 3.0 from the start (I'm assuming this last part, since the resolution is 960x580, or whatever the 3D is). Plus, more ram, and possibly more rom than the shift.
It's nice to see "mid-range" phones with some decent specs, and not really far off from the halo phones. Depending on when I make my next phone purchase, I may get the Galaxy S2. I would really like my next phone to have a Super AMOLED screen.
Hey all. I've been looking to buy a new phone for a few weeks now, and have been leaning towards the Evo Shift. But my choice was the Epic months ago. So my question is; which would all of you prefer? Epic of Shift?
I've done much research, but I'd like to hear insight from some actual Epic users. I know the Epic offers Samsung's Super AMOLED display, and the shift doesn't. The Epic also has a bigger screen. But I believe the Shift has a faster processor? I've also heard that the sliding mechanism on the Epic can become loose fairly quickly with heavy use? Is this even true? I also know how the Epic doesn't have a fully functional Gingerbread build build yet. The Shift does, but there's only temp root at this time. I really do like Sense, but I've never tried Samsung's TouchWiz UI. Also, I know this is also a bigger phone, but is like, a brick? I definitely wouldn't want a phone to be pulling my pants down when it's in my pocket haha.
I'd really like to outweigh all the pros and cons before I go through with any purchase. Thanks!
Omg the epic wins on ALL fronts. CPU is faster, gpu is faster, keyboard is better, bigger screen, amoled over lcd (spliech!), its thinner, the cameras better, the speaker phone is louder and not tinny. The shift has absolutely nothing on the epic.

Epic has superior hardware in every way, but shift has aosp, sense 3.0, stable miui and stable cm7, whereas we don't. So Shift has more ROMs and dev support + they have stock gb too.
Overall = EPIC ; Developement = Shift ....... personally , I think EPIC is WAY Better
Epic is end of life now so why even get it?

I have an Epic... and love it! It's fast as hell (running RandomROM EG22 "HAWK"), and I use it for work so it takes plenty of abuse. My wife has a shift stuck on 2.3.3, and it's a dog. Even she complains about how slow it is, but hopefully (someday) permanent root will be found and I can flash a different ROM to speed it up.
