Call it brilliance, call it an error, but with the announcement of the HTC Sensation today, the EVO family is all but forgotten in the headlines. Whether you are talking tablets, phones or deals, nothing is being said about the comparison between the soon-to-be Evo 3D and the Sensation.
Both devices will be running the newest dual-core 1.2Ghz processor and Android 2.3 with Sense 3.0. They both have the 4.3” qHD screen for an amazing viewing experience. Of course, from there the devices change slightly in the Sensation having the 8MP camera like the original EVO vs. the dual 5MP “3D” cameras of the Evo 3D. The devices themselves are all but identical from there.
Even with the dominance of the dual-core processors, the EVO still holds it own against these ‘modern’ powerhouse devices. While tests like the quadrant score or other benchmark testing may show the unbelievable numbers advantage of the newer devices, the original still has little lag and is ‘scheduled’ for one last update before it is abandoned to obscurity. The original EVO makes a case for itself as one of the longest lifespan devices.
If/When the EVO gets the Android 2.3/Sense 3.0 update, assuming that it is able to run the 3.0 version of Sense, it will feel like a new phone one more time. If not, most EVO owners will be faced with the fact that their device isn’t the fastest, but still might be the best – since most of the major issues have been worked out for months. The battery will always be a problem, especially with 4G, but it’s a small price to pay for such an amazing device.
