Very interesting..........

More surprising to me than the video quality being better (which I expected) is how much better the audio sounds from the iP4. Damn. Hope that gets fixed in an update.

Look fellas..I have 3 different phones right now. The Moto Droid, The EVO and I traded for an iPhone 4G this morning. I'm not activating the iPhone because of AT&T...I will just tether it to the Droid. I will have to say that the HD Video is amazing. It's better than some of my handheld HD camcorders that use an sd card. I like all three phones and haven't anything bad to say about either of them but this thread was about comparing the video of the EVO and the iPhone..there is no comparison. Having said that, the Droid and the Evo have things that are better also. Bottom line, Just be happy with what you got..theres always something better that will come along. Go Android!

Folks it's not the sensor. It's the implementation on the Evo.

This has been a known area of underperformance on the Evo since the launch reviews came out (one of the few).

Agreed. I can live with the video quality, but the audio quality is absolutely unacceptable.

staubio · Jun 24, 2010

Seriously guys, pointing out a shortcoming of our device isn't going to hurt anyone.

Agreed that the Evo can't hang in this arena. I ended up disappointingly buying the Flip Camera I was holding off on because of how disappointing the Evo performs in HD video. I'm hopeful this will be fixed with future upgrades from HTC, because the hardware is there to have exceptional quality.

The worst part of this comparison is that it looks better on 360p. Turning it to 720p actually just showcases more high ISO noise.

How about you pull your head out your ass and do a search before posting. This topic has been posted multiple times already Or maybe you're just that stupid.

No, actually, it hadn't. The thread was fresh as of last night, and I was bringing that particular video comparison to this forum's attention.

Thanks, once again, for your comprehension challenged opinion.

The iPhone's video quality is obviously a lot better. It is REALLY nice. But not enough to make me want to switch to AT&T. It would take A LOT for me to switch to AT&T.

this is the truth, i just left AT&T.

Who cares lol. I got HD video cam and camera for pix. Not using my evo for video and pics unless occasional mms so don't care.

IPvFletch · Jun 24, 2010

Did chris.pirillo adjust it to 720p? He said defaults, but by default it's 480...

you're that guy carrying around a belt full of devices and a bunch of neckstraps, fumbling to get the right one out.

Well if you were smart (which you are not, fact not opinion) you would have done a search before posting your redundant thread. Your search would have returned many threads on this subject already. You should have posted your video in one of those like any intelligent person would do. Instead you started another thread like an idiot (fact not opinion) and cluttered up the forums.

But hey, thanks for bringing us useless and out dated news. Oh and I agree, the iPhone does take better video than the Evo, but I think everyone already knew that.

You bring to me the thread, bringing to the attention that exact video comparison, and I'll apologize.

Until then, crawl back in your hole.

Good question...I would assume so...but still, good question.

secretmethod70 · Jun 24, 2010

Yes, Chris posted the original source video and it is in 720p

tx_brandon · Jun 24, 2010

Is the iPhone sensor just better or can the subpar EVO video quality be fixed with a software upgrade?

Are you serious? Do you really not get it? You have absolutely zero reading comprehension :rolleyes:

If you don

heavychevy · Jun 24, 2010

You guys should expect to see a bunch of video comparisons because the Iphone is the "benchmark" and IMO video is the only thing the IP4 clearly has over the Evo. The Iphone Video is clearly better. There is no need to make excuses.

If that is enough to send you to an Iphone, have at it. I don't like seeing everyone with the same phone as me.

iPhone has a better sensor, but the software is crippling the Evo. If we had better software (video codecs) then the Evo would be on par with the iPhone. I

Eazy123 · Jun 24, 2010

that does it. I'm selling my evo and paying sprints etf so I can get the iPhone. I don't care about the extra cost for a plan.

Fast forward to tomorrow:
Damn this video recording is sexy. Wait, wtf u mean I cant hold it in my left hand? Oh sh.....*drops iPhone 6 inches*

*cry* I miss my Evo...

Anybody want to show a video of someone on there EVO using 3G or 4G having a video call with someone at home on skype and then try making the same video using an iPhone.....

Anybody want to go for a drive and with an AT&T phone and a Sprint phone for 15 minutes and then see who's call is still going on and who's call has dropped......

Anybody want to show the EVO's huge screen next to the smaller then my TP2's iPhone4 screen.

Anybody want to compare the widgets on my home screen with the widgets on the iPhone4's home screen?

Anybody want to compare the true multi tasking of android next to the iPhone4's mutlitasking?

Anybody want to compare streaming video using both networks and see which comes through better with less load time?

In the end, I will take the extra and better features the EVO has and live with the subpar camera for now.

cary328is said:
I'm watching divx movies on my evo right now. Can you compare divx playback on the iphone please? Oh wait....

This thread was about video recording. Not a phone comparison thread. The EVO doesn't compare to the iPhone's video recording. It's gonna be okay. You will live...

bvbull200 · Jun 25, 2010

You have to concede the video quality on the iPhone being better than that of the Evo. There is little question, in my mind. My only contribution is this: It still looks like it was recorded on a cell phone. It looks better than what I am used to on cell phones, but it is nothing more than a slightly better solution in a pinch. I think both phones will allow for a great YouTube video of a funny moment at a bar or a quality capture of a baby's first steps. The iPhone might look better, but, honestly, until we get to something that rivals that of a good point & shoot camera (my Panasonic TZ-5 still has better video than the iPhone 4) or even camcorders, "good enough" will still suffice in this particular aspect of a phone. Congrats Apple, you win this round, it just doesn't really bother me that much to tell you that.
