The Samsung Galaxy S2 pushes modern mobile phone technology to its limits and for this reason it is currently regarded as the best handset available. The phone really does ooze quality in every area from the high powered dual core processor to the excellent Super AMOLED display that shows images in amazing quality. There is one area however where the Samsung is lacking and that is in the 3D department. Rival brand HTC have introduced a high end phone of their own in the shape of the Evo 3D which has the added bonus of offering 3D material. So if you are in the market for a real quality phone should it be the Samsung or the HTC that grabs your attention?

Both of these new handsets sport massive 4.3 inch displays but use very different technologies to achieve their results. Samsung sticks to the excellent Super AMOLED format here which really does offer a brilliantly vivid standard of picture. This technology differs from standard AMOLED in that the touch sensitive layer is now integrated into the screen itself enabling the device to be wafer thing. Sony have developed Super LCD panels which the HTC uses and this ...
... follows the same principle but uses less power and offers an outstanding horizontal viewing angles. Many may argue that in terms of picture quality the Samsung may edge ahead but when comparing both phones directly there is very little to choose between the two. Where the Evo 3D does have an advantage however is when it is used to view 3D material and this is when the phone gains some real wow factor. For that reason we have to favour the screen on the HTC in this instance but if we put 3D to one side for a moment the Samsung would probably shade it.

Thanks to the identical screen sizes of the HTC Evo 3D and the Samsung Galaxy S2 both models are very similar in terms of overall dimensions. They are never going to fall into the "compact" category however thanks to the screen technology used in the Samsung it does mange to measure in at an incredibly slimline 8.49 millimetres which is 3.5mm less than the relatively slim Evo 3D. The HTC design is slightly different from the majority of models in the range. Normally HTC models are instantly recognisable by there attractively curved finish but the developers have opted for a design which takes a more angular route in this instance which coincidentally is very much the route that Samsungs designers have followed with the S2. This design really does suit the large screen phones and does give them an ultra modern look. Both of the handsets run on the very latest version of the Android operating system but both have their own user interfaces in place. The HTC version comes out on top here thanks to its simple yet attractive looking displays. This Sense UI is arguably the best UI available from any manufacturer and genuinely makes using the handset a pleasure.

The main question when it comes to these two phones is whether you require 3D facilities or not. If not then the Samsung Galaxy S2 is just about the best handset available. If you want the very latest technology in the form of 3D however then there is no better model on the market than the Evo 3D.

The HTC Evo 3D is coming soon and the Samsung Galaxy S2 is available now.
