@BlueScreen

I apologize if this has already been mentioned, but will the new EVO3D have improvements of the picture quality, specifically, higher shutter speeds when using flash, and better exposure metering?

The pictures the EVO takes outside are pretty good. Inside, almost worthless. I love my EVO, but the camera is truly horrible IMHO. I REALLY hope with the dual cameras, the PQ is much improved.

Edit: Just saw above post. I'm hoping the lowered megapixel counts will allow better light capture on the camera sensor. Lower grain, faster shutter speeds, etc...

THANK YOU so much for sharing all of this info!!!!! I really appreciate the transparency, and love you guys for being open and honest with us!

while we did spring for a Carl Z lens, we should have paid closer attention to the CMOS sensor and it's ability to capture photons (light particles) to increase night snap shots and high speed photos. Once again we did here the complaints/concerns and the Android Market came to the rescue by means of the talented people to get the most out of Original EVO 8mp camera.

There is so many first with this EVO as with the Original. The one that failed to mention is another first in the world and another Sense UI 2.0 exclusive.
1) Camera will have a Sport mode, the 5mp camera's will function in tandem, but alternate. Each camera will burst alternately and provide crystal clear photography on high speed action events. (11 fps) I have tested this out and watch a 20ft putt go in the hole in frame, by frame increments. To be upfront burst sport mode will only work in 2d mode for obvious reasons, because the two cameras are sharing the load@5mp.
2)Another industry first as the Original EVO it will have dual LED flash. EVO 3D will be the first phone to have dual cameras and dual LED flash.
3)EVO 3D will not have lower pixel density as dual 5mp cameras will work in tandem to produce worlds first 10mp 2D photo ever.
4)Explained before, night photos w/o flash is twice of the original EVO.
Cheers,

Are the notification LED's the same under the earpiece grill? and is there one or two like on the OG Evo? Are there more colors than the orange/green on the left and red/green/orange on the left?

 

[grimloch]

Holy shit, figuratively and literally. Seriously, I'm glad to have been sitting on a toilet while reading BlueScreen's last two posts.

Any comment on 3G SVDO?

 

[alcohol]

Will this be announced tomorrow at CTIA or later during the week? I need to know so i can get up and read the live blog

WiMax AND LTE?!! This EVO 3D is going to be simply amazing.

First, thanks for taking time out of your hectic schedule to come on here and share all the fantastic info!! Second, that someone from HTC and/or Sprint (sorry, not sure of your affiliation) comes here and listens to the users speaks volumes to me. It gives me another reason to want to give your company my business. Thanks again.

Sprint is doing its announcements tomorrow.

Honestly, I think the camera(s) alone will have current Evo owners get the new one on top of having both Wimax and LTE radios in it.

For me, the DRM will be huge now that I will be able to use netflix on my phone and not always have to pull out my laptop to us it.

The combo of being able to use my Slingbox, Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, and also go on sites like Justin.tv may have me on my phone just as much if not more than my laptop.

Love that I will be able to add a BT keyboard or game pad if I want.

If music play on it improves, my Ipod will be very useless!!!

Cant wait for tomorrow!

@BlueScreen

What will the fps be for reg 720p video capture and 1080p video capture? Is there a chance that we can see 60fps out of 720?

With Sprint switching to LTE in the future, there was no way they would make this phone WiMax only. Man, I can't wait to see this phone. Thanks Blue Screen!

 

[dkotoric]

so what does this display mean Worlds first qHD 3D display on a 4.3in screen (Pixel Density Classified)

Comparing it to LCD on the current evo or the nexus S super amoled, I care more about screen qality then processor, my evo is fast enough

 

[jonathanlc2005]

wow i have a calculus 2 exam on wednesday and your freaking making me eyeball the computer ever 5 mins.... lol thanks!

2 questions for you... will it support the new sprint direct connect coming out this year? can you ask if htc can make an accessory to have a solar panel for a battery back cover to help save on the battery life

also, whats up with sprint lightsquared and clearwire.


oh and this is what i think of the evo 3d

again, thank you for all you do

 

[jdsingle]

HOLY S***. That's all I can say. I am so glad I held out for this instead of just taking the EVO back in January. Much thanks to EarlyMon for that. BSOD you are awesome! If only some of the other companies treated their customers in the manner you have they might be doing better. I'm SOOOOOO happy to hear that it will be WiMax + LTE. Makes me feel okay to be with this phone for 2 years!

As I said before, goodbye big red, hello Sprint!

I'm glad to be moving out of the DInc. & OG D1 forums into the EVO ones.

* LED notification is still located underneath a new brushed aluminum grill and we wanted to stay true to the Original EVO and keep the LED lights same. I have been keeping a close eye on the news lately and this is nothing like the original EVO announcement. I our intent was to keep it simple and provide a device the fans have been asking for and provide answers to some of the demands (I.E. Netflix, Hulu, and a little extra beef on what is to be expected in technology a year later)Today, Holy cow you got ATT saying there buying T-mobile, announcing LG Thrill, and we haven't even step up to the podium yet!(Seriously) I know this thread will get out and so be it, but lets play ball. I call your 1gig processors and raise you with 1.2gig processors and I need to raise 2.0gig processors will do that. So yeah, if I have anything to say about it @ CTIA announcement tomorrow and I do. I plan for it to be announced. There is stage roll call, while this is hectic, we wouldn&#8217;t be here if wasn&#8217;t for you fans/support. I&#8217;ll catch sleep/vacation after EVO 3D launch just like the Original EVO. If you guys are able to catch the show live? I&#8217;ll give a shout out to Android Forums by salute on the stage.
Cheers,

Wow, this is the hottest thread to watch for sure, thank you BSOD for all the great information. I just had one quick question, is the sd card slot exposed? One of the gripes of my OG Evo is I have to take the battery out to switch the cards, but I have all these cheap 8GB cards lying around. Thanks again, I'll salute back when you're on stage!

 

[BlueScreen]

bluescreen....

the backward compatible you keep mentioning in a few places.. has me excited... for my OG evo...

thanks a bunch..for everything.. hope you aint pulling our collective legs!

I would never, it's a given and seen how there plan to do it. It's not all that high tech simple h/w, s/w @ tower and OTA patch for all 4G devices. At least we all say "4G".

I know you guys wanted that one (Ext SD Slot) sorry this time around it can be done because we have other plans for the piece of silicon.

Slight bummed but no big deal. If all you are saying is true, the awesome sauce is going to hospitalize me with seizures and a psychotic break from reality
