The HTC EVO 3D is the first 3D smartphone from Taiwanese manufacturer HTC and only the second 3D smartphone in the market after the LG Optimus 3D. While featuring the same 3D technology as the LG device the HTC EVO benefits from a superior screen that provides a better visual experience in both 2 and 3 dimensions.

The technology used on the EVO 3D is the same as that on the Optimus as well as the Nintendo 3DS. This technology is known as a parallax barrier display and it has its strengths and weaknesses. It is not the same technology found in 3D cinema but is currently the only 3D technology feasible for handheld devices like phones.

The main benefit of this parallax design is that it does not require 3D glasses to be worn, which will be greatly appreciated by anyone who purchases a 3D smartphone for sure. Because the system works by partially obscuring the light emitted by the screen to produce disparate images to each eye, the 3D effect can only be felt from certain viewing angles. This is the main weakness of the design but is a weakness present on all handheld 3D devices. This means that for extended activities ...
... like watching 3D movies there may be a bit of frustration involved.

The EVO 3D features a similar sized 4.3" screen to the LG device but this comes with a superior Super LCD screen technology and also a much sharper qHD resolution. This provides a much better visual experience for 2D and 3D content and makes the EVO 3D one of the most impressive phones on the market, even if you completely disregard the 3D technology.

The EVO has plenty of entertainment options to put this to good use including playback support for a wide range of music and video, including 3D video of course. The phone also includes an FM radio and access to Android Market, where you can get access to the ever increasing multitude of great games and apps on offer.

The EVO also includes an 8 megapixel camera that comes with support for stereoscopic images and 720p 3D video recording. You can also capture standard photos and record 2D videos in a much higher 1080p quality. This is one of the first phones to come with 1080p video support and is a mouth watering feature in itself, even if you do not plan to make use of the 3D video recording. Images and videos can be uploaded to share online with services like Picasa and Facebook.

The EVO 3D features excellent messaging options with threaded SMS, email and fantastic social networking support thanks to the Android Gingerbread and HTC Sense interface. The EVO is one of the first 3D phones and offers a superior visual experience to its only rival in this niche the Optimus 3D. Even if you are unsure about this latest 3D craze the EVO 3D is a superb smartphone that packs a lot of entertainment and messaging options into its slender body.
