The HTC Evo 3D And The Google Nexus S-A Comparison Of The Two Phones

Hot on the heels of the highly anticipated HTC Sensation handset comes the HTC Evo 3D, a handset that looks to push the boundaries of what we expect from a modern smartphone.  This great model sits proudly at the top of HTCs range and looks to become the most advanced mobile phone currently available.  Is there a device on the market that could possibly halt the rise of this newcomer?  Google would like to think that there is in the shape of their Nexus S handset which has also been developed with Samsung.  So can this new phone outshine the impressive Evo 3D in any department?

Thanks to a wordwide shortage in Super AMOLED displays HTC have turned to Sony and their hugely impressive 4.3 inch Super LCD display for this model.  This type of technology offers vast improvements over traditional TFT displays by offering better viewing angles together with improved clarity.  This type of screen together with the high 540 x 960 resolution on offer result in an image that even gives Apples renowned Retina display a run for its money.  Samsung have opted to use their own Super AMOLED panel in the Nexus S which also features quite a unique element in that the screen is curved.  This contour display is designed to sit more comfortably against your face during a call and it also makes the handset stand out from many of its competitors.  The resolution of 480 x 800 is perfectly matched to the smaller display on this model.  When all is said and done there is little to choose between these two screens but the extra size together with its 3D capabilities put the Evo 3D out in front in this department.

The HTC Evo 3D incorporates a Qualcomm 1.2Ghz processor which is wise given the extra strain that 3D will place on the chip.  Not only is this processor ultra fast but it is also one of the few available that boast dual core properties meaning that it handles multi tasking effortlessly.  At 1Ghz the chip in the Nexus S is slightly smaller and is only a single core affair.  Googles choice of chip here is very wise given that they have opted for an ARM Cortex A8, a renowned processor that helps the Nexus S punch well above its weight.  Unfortunately it simply cannot match up to the excellent Evo 3D in this area, with the extra size and dual cores giving the HTC device a better all round performance.

Google have produced a valiant effort with the Nexus S, a phone that looks great and incorporates some really cutting edge features.  Unfortunately HTC have taken things a step further with the superb Evo 3D and prove just to much competition for them in this instance.

The HTC Evo 3D is coming soon and the Google Nexus S is available now.
