This was just posted on the new Evo 4G+ being released overseas soon. Basically like an Evo 3D, minus the 3D and with a 8MP camera instead.
I kind of wish Sprint released this as opposed to the 3D.
http://www.phonedog.com/2011/06/22/htc-evo-4g-plus-revealed-in-press-image-resembles-an-evo-3d-without-the-3d/
We have an 8mp camera already and it isn't even that great. The 3Ds camera is much better than our Evos. The 3D feature isn't so bad to me, you can just turn it off with the switch. I don't see why people complain about 3D. Just hit the switch. But this phone is pretty good also.

Because if not for the 3D, what would they have to complain about?
Pixel-counts don't mean ****.
yep...called the rider and will only be relased in south korea is what this is saying

So an Evo 4G with a physical camera button, better cpu, more ram, better display, etc, etc, etc.
Seems... interesting.

You don't just 'hit the switch.' That 'switch' is specifically for the camera.

Right, so hit the switch and avoid 3D content, its pretty easy if you don't want to use 3D you don't have to.

Left, you might have missed the point; the 'switch' doesn't just kill 3D. Avoid 3D content all you want, you don't 'flip the switch' and it turns off. That's all I was saying.

Fair enough. All I was saying is no one is forced to use the 3D option. I figured anyone *****ing about the 3D option would likely avoid 3D content otherwise they would be a hypocrite. Thus, just hitting the switch takes care of the woes of anyone that is anti-3D.

I'm not denying that some people will get up on this phone for everything BUT the 3D, but that wasn't the point of the comment;
My initial comment was that 'hitting the switch' doesn't just 'disable 3D.' People keep saying that, but it's not the case. So, now, instead of being able to disable 3D, you should just avoid it? Sure, maybe that makes sense. No need to get all defensive over your phone of tomorrow. Was merely responding to someone else's comment. Not sure why you have to make it anything more than it was.
Yea I would get this if it were made available here. Pretty much doubles all the specof your phone except camera and a few other things. And a gorgeous screen to boot.... I'd get...

Indeed. I like the new layout for the camera they are using. I've never been a fan of the circular shooter's. Even the '3VO', and its dual cams, looks cooler. I'd be on this phone if it launched for Sprint. Sad face.
I have a feeling the HTC Kingdom may be a similar looking device. The only drawback, I think the Kingdom will only have a 1.2 single core processor.

Yeah it's supposed to be a single-core device. Or rumored as such, anyways. Haven't heard much info the phone since the early talk.

Megapixels doesn't necessarily refer to the quality of the picture. A lot has to do with the sensor.

True..it's just that screen and the processing power with the gyroscope of the epic is very tempting..

Gonna go ahead and keep my EVO for a while.
Yeah because our 8mp camera is just soo amazing...

Heh the evo's camera sucks.
Anyway, I'll hold into my evo until it launches sometime in the future and I'll probably pick it up. Looks to soundly beat the evo and the droid x. At least its already rooted the only issue will be samsungs encoded drivers.

I must agree
I don't know, spec-wise the epic is pretty compelling.
The 5MP camera will look better than the evos because the lower mp sensor will undoubtedly have less grain and better low-light pictures.
The qwerty is welcome, im not sure about the size but it's good news to me that it wont be as large as the evo in wideness.
I love the 4.3" screen on my evo, but 4" sounds like a great tradeoff.
It will surely fit better in the hand, which is very welcome for me.
The hummingbird IS a better processor.. GPU is great. End of story.
Super AMOLED is the best screen technology in the mobile biz. End of story.
The samsung is a better phone.
That said i will probably keep my evo because it looks so much better. LOL
If the framerate issues are fixed and froyo comes along quickly there isn't much of a reason to return the evo.
Either way i'm happy, but my 30-day window is ending soon and there isn't much news about when the Epic will arrive.

very good points..the only thing bothering me is as you said there is no release date, but i think i might take my chances and wait
The Galaxy S model will be released on every carrier, so the Epic will have plenty of support, if not more than the EVO. The specs are undoubtedly better than the EVO's in almost every way. The 45nm processor especially stands out since will mean better battery life.
I need to buy the EVO as soon as it comes back in stock, so I hope the Epic is released within my 30-day window in case I want to exchange.
EDIT: I just saw a video ( youtube (dot) com/watch?v=x31Tl4_F1Wo ) of Touchwiz and it looks TERRIBLE, even though the iPhone-like icons aren't bad. Unless TW can be easily disabled, I'm going with the EVO.

Look at the Benchmarks for the G2, same processor. Blows the Evo away and can be overclocked to 1.8GHZ. Evo can barely handle 1.2.
The Shift has the same screen resolution on a smaller screen.

It doesn't have the little stand. It has only one LED flash, apparently.
The fact that screen is smaller make it's more portable for some people and at the same resolution means it will have a better picture. Most people don't want or have a need for a FFC.
The benchmarks show that performance wise it is a better phone than the Evo. The rest is up to personal preference.
The Evo is still a beast, however the Evo Shift is no slouch either.

Less camera and flash, less size. If it's smaller then it's expected to use less power. I still like the size of the regular EVO. How about the main memory? I have a lot of trouble with EVO after I installed Twitter. It accumulates more and more megs over time, and it cannot be moved to the mem card. Maybe this one will come with more memory.

The camera on the G2 is the same as the Shift and is supposed to take better pics than the Evo.
If you're rooted and I'm assuming you are, you can move Twitter to your SD card using Titanium Backup. Now if you are using the widget then it will have to stay on the phone memory, but I use Tweetdeck and never have any use for the widget so it works out.
If you haven't tried Tweetdeck I highly recommend giving it a go.
I'm actually really digging the shift. I want a keyboard, don't need a ffc, don't want a 4.3 inch screen, like the processor (it really is awesome) like the gpu, and love that its made by htc. If u have an evo then stick with it, but I skipped the evo for a hardware keyboard, and won't touch the epic because samsung has tricked me with their "next big thing" before (instinct, etc.) I'm truly excited for this phone. Research it before you dis it, and realize that different consumers have different needs.

I hate that everyone with an EVO is hating on this phone. People dont understand the mhz isnt everything ex; celeron vs pentium. I guarantee when it drops and pulls some good development its gonna woop on the EVO as far as processing power and usability. Then all you guys are gonna be able to complain about is that there isnt a 4.3'' screen and a FFC. Considering I wont be using video calls and hate the size/battery life of the EVO I cant wait to get this phone as it is the reason why I held off from buying the EVO in the first place. This phone after OC is gonna be one of the fastest phones on the market I can assure you (Look how fast the G2 is)
Infact, My free optimus s beats the EVO on a lot of the benchmarks I've tested it on...
I really cant wait to have the shift OC'd to 1.5+ to rub it in to all my friends with the EVO

Are you sure is the same camera? (just asking, not trying to antagonize or anything) I though EVO is 8 MP, and the Shift is 5 MP or so? Also, EVO has 2 LED's as flashes. This one, judging by the picture, seems to have only one. Maybe an indication of the camera capabilities.
Thank you for the tip about Tweetdeck. I definitely will try it. The Twitter app is great, but every week it adds more and more megs up to its used mem.
Thanks again.

Wow, thanks man. I got rid of my low memory icon after uninstalling Twitter and installing Tweetdeck. Thanks again. You have one more thanks.

The camera is the same one from the G2/Desire Z not the Evo. Sorry if I was confusing above. From what I've read the G2 takes better pics than the Evo even though it is only 5MP as opposed to the Evo's 8MP.
My fiance actually ran over to Radio Shack and picked up my Shift this morning, so hopefully I'll have some initial thoughts on it tonight.
Glad Tweetdeck worked out for. Check out the Chrome app or desktop version too. Outstanding! Thanks for the thanks!

Real-time results except games and you will never notice that CPU is faster unless your using benchmarks. 768mb RAM can be a plus, however my phone never bogs down on 512mb of RAM. Much better screen? That is pushing it. I have put my EVO side by side with the Inspire and barely noticed a difference. It was brighter, but not by a lot. Also being on AT&T makes it not even worth it.

Exactly this. And to be 100 percent honest...I took my Evo and her Inspire side by side with a fresh ADW launcher home screen on both with the brightness turned up all the way on both of our phones with the same exact wallpaper and mine looked better. Now granted it was not that much better, but I could hardly tell any differences at all. However it was agreed by both my girlfriend and me that my screen looked better. Not only that, but I even think that I like the touch screen responsiveness of my Evo better than the Inspire. And to add something else to the argument, you think that HTC would have learned that making the camera stick out the back of the phone is going to end up in thousands of scratched lenses but with the design of this phone they only made the problem worse by projecting the camera lens out further from the phone.
Now I wont discount the Inspire, there are things that I like better about it. To start with, one of my biggest peeves about my Evo since about a month after I bought it was that the thing "creaked" when I would push moderately on the back of it below the camera when I was holding the phone in the palm of my hand. This is something that I have no figured out how to fix and have accredited to the poor design of the phone. It bothers the hell out of me that the Evo does not feel like a solid device while holding it in my hand. I even have a Amzer gel case on it and it still does the same thing. With the Inspire, the battery slides into the side of the phone so the whole unit is one piece. I like this because it feels a lot slicker and like HTC made a improvement on the design of phone.

Wanted to start by saying, I love my Evo. Especially the last 5 months with figuring out how to put new roms. I was dead set on the Evo 3D, but that fact is, I don't care about 3D and downgrading the camera to 5meg from 8meg sucks. Plus, the possibility of a locked down boot loader, really has me thinking twice. What do you think?
Samsung has nice top of the line phones, but have little to no support after you buy. HTC is where its at, that's my 2cents
I want to add that just because the camera is going from 8mp to 5mp does not mean that it will be worse. I had an old Samsung Behold on T-Mobile with a 5mp camera which took much clearer, sharper and better pictures than my Evo. Now saying that, normally Samsung has better screens and camera's than HTC, but HTC makes better phones IMO and also has much better support when it comes to upgrades to the latest Android. Spec wise it looks like these phones will be very similar except the 3D part of the EVO 3D. Also, 3D can easily be turned off and will still have a beautiful screen in 2D mode. I personally would go with HTC over Samsung, but honestly that Galaxy S2 sounds like a sweet ass phone. This is all opinion and you are in an EVO forum so most everyone is going to be all HTC. You might also think about posting this thread in the Epic forum as well, but they will probably all be Samsung fanboys.
I was dead set on getting the EVO 3D until the annual upgrade got reduced to just $75. Now seeing the S2 and the Sensation, it's probably cheaper for me to jump ship for a new phone.
I may just end up keeping my Evo for awhile longer. I like having new tech toys to play with but the Evo is holding my interest way longer than I thought it would when I got the phone last summer.
I do agree with you about the support, but, don't be surprised if they start to change because of carrier pressure.
Evo 3D
EVO 3D is going to be the way to go. Samsung never has good development for their Galaxy phones.
Yeah, the phone is going to be hot. I just hope HTC keeps doing right by us.

I admit, the GS2 had me tempted, but I keep reminding myself what solid phone the Evo is. I also owned the Touch Pro, and that was great phone for its time as well.
I too debated with this decision but I decided to go ahead and preorder an EVO 3D. I have some concerns that the GS2 on Sprint will have a HW keyboard, something I am not interested in, but everything else about the phone I think is great, in fact I think the GS2 would be a good candidate for the next Nexus phone. The Super AMOLED+ screen on the GS2 will offer superior battery life to the EVO and even with the lower resolution will probably look a little better...
I agree with the arguments about development, but I think that if the EVO 3D has an encrypted bootloader and the GS2 releases in a bar form with only a locked bootloader, then there may be a shift in development towards the GS2.
My plan is this: Get the EVO 3D, if the bootloader is encrypted then I will return it and wait for a GS2 announcement or get a nexus S.
I'm waiting for another phone.

I have some concerns that the GS2 on Sprint will have a HW keyboard, something I am not interested in, but everything else about the phone I think is great, in fact I think the GS2 would be a good candidate for the next Nexus phone. The Super AMOLED+ screen on the GS2 will offer superior battery life to the EVO and even with the lower resolution will probably look a little better...
I agree with the arguments about development, but I think that if the EVO 3D has an encrypted bootloader and the GS2 releases in a bar form with only a locked bootloader, then there may be a shift in development towards the GS2.
My plan is this: Get the EVO 3D, if the bootloader is encrypted then I will return it and wait for a GS2 announcement or get a nexus S.

I hear you. I have to make that decision. My plan is to get. If the bootloader is locked, i will sell it and get the GS2. I have become addicted to flashing, and i can't see myself with a phone i can't tweak to my desire at a whim.

Sprint, or is another carrier an option. Sprint had been light on handset choices recently. Hopefully that will change. I really liked the Sensation, but would never go to T-Mobile. I hope there are more choices later this year.
Dan Hesse mentioned 22 4G devices at CTIA. I can maybe come up with 8. Anybody know what he was referring to?

Please don't ever ever ever make a decision on a phone based on the number of megapixels in a cell phone camera.
My iPod touch camera takes better pictures than my Evo. Megapixels mean ****.

My Evo takes great pics. And funny, i heard the camera on the iPod touch sucks. But i hear what you're saying.

i think a lot of people out there think their cell phone camera sucks, but they also forget to wipe off the pocket lint and finger goo that accumulates on the lens.
The iPhone camera is better than the Evo and it's less megapixel. Tge shutter speed on the iphone us much faster than the Evo and it focuses faster. I've had amazing pictures come out with the iPhone. I'm pretty sure tge same can be said with the touch. I believe the lens on the i devices are better except for the iPad 2 camera sucking gnome ass.

Funny how you don't think a smartphone camera is important until you realize you leave your point and shoot at home all the time. Its a big deal.

I was just thinking if or when we get a fully functional E3d rom and it runs good on our EVO's I don't see me being in a rush to grab the upgrade... for what 3d pics? Meh. I might just save my upgrade for what Q3/Q4 will have to offer, if anything.

I was also considering that. That also makes sense, since i have been following the ports threads. These guys are amazing at what they have been able to do with the Evo. Thanks for that perspective.

Just FYI. Wandered into Radio Shack in C.A. today and the dudes offered $165 for my Evo 4D on trade. That's way better than Best Buy and better than Sprint. $35 total for the 3D, plus tax.
And these days it is not easy to get much more than that for a used OG on Craigslist or Ebay. There are a million used ones available, and the prices have fallen.
My OG was rooted and they did not notice or care.

New customers only? I only have $75 upgrade right now. That's a hell of a deal!
via EVO.
I think I'm gonna hold on to my evo.,. Its not like I'm gonna be doing Auto cad on a phone anytime soon. The 1ghz processor is more than enough for what it needs to do. And personally the whole 3d feature is just silly. 3d's been around since the beginning of man kind, but we act like its the newest and baddest fad ever!

It might be silly true...but 3D on a phone has not been around since the beginning of man kind. It is new...
That's like saying "OMG COLOR TV?! COLOR HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE MANKIND...DON'T NEED A COLOR TV"

The technology might be new, but the idea is very old. And yes T'vs have changed dramatically, but 3d is pretty much the same. You still need those uncomfy 3d glasses to watch a movie. Might I add I went to see transformers and 3d, and I wonder why these 3d glass makers haven't looked into making them fit around people with glasses?

I'm making a generalization statement that 3d as a WHOLE is an OLD concept.

On a side note, I saw Transformers in 3d yesterday as well. Waste of money IMHO, barely any 3 effects till the end of the movie.

I agree, I spent $68 on tickets for me, my wife, and 2 kids to see TF3 in "IMAX 3D". After the first few scenes the 3D broke so my left eye looked like it was shaded very dark for 15mins. They got that fixed but I certainly didn't experience any "stunning 3D effects".
I did get quite a headache before it was over. I can't say it was the 3D for sure but reading online I'm not the first to complain about this with IMAX 3D.
I wish they would sell the EVO 4G+ here, that's a nice device without the 3D stuff.
Hmmm ok outside the box here, but what about getting the shell of the Evo + and moving the internals of the 4g over to the Evo+.....I know things probably wouldn't line up right but worth a shot.

I tried 3D over the weekend and I don't want it. Only cool thing is 3D games, rest of the phone is same as mine (just cost more) since i have Kings 3D rom.
Actually, mine is even better since is rooted
Only phone that can make me change my mind is Samsung Galaxy S2
I don't care about 3d. I got it because it's more narrow than the original, and therefore easier to hold and use one handed. Also the screen is higher contrast and It's overall faster. So far, so good.

True and thanks for correcting that critical piece of information
