7.4/10
Informr score
The HTC EVO 3D currently has an Informr score of 7.4 out of 10. This score is based on our evaluation of 27 sources including reviews from users and the web's most trusted critics.

The HTC Evo 3D, according to the best info we could find, promises to live up to it's hype. First, as for the "3D" element, the Evo 3D will include a 3D YouTube client and a 3D Blockbuster app.

The phone is reported to have a 4.3 inch display, and will be powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor.

Add a dual, 5MP camera which can generate 3D photos and offers HD record capability, an HDMI port and Android's 2.3 OS, and you have a phone fighting for Top Gun.

This is definitely one phone to watch, as it appears to be packed with crazy powerful functionality and may well set the standard for the balance of 2011.

The HTC EVO 3D does provide an incredibly solid smartphone experience. But if that’s what you are after, there are a few handsets that will match its performance without charging a premium for a single feature of questionable merit. Sense UI fans will find what they are looking for, but a few...

The HTC Evo 3D has the ability to take 3D pictures, although the resolution is low. However, 2D pictures have a nice resolution. The battery life for this multimedia cell phone has a greater than average talk time than the other phones we reviewed. It comes with a dual-core processor and the Android...

The ā€˜3Dā€™ aspects of this phone add unnecessary bulk and weight to what could have been a pretty decent good old ā€˜2Dā€™ phone, I find it too thick and too heavy to be a practical everyday phone. Personally I find 3D to be a gimmick and not really necessary on a screen this small, but obviously HTC beli...

The Evo 3D has almost everything that you expect from today's smartphone. Its dual-core CPU and gigabyte of RAM should be enough to sell this product. Moreover, the 3D capability is a good conversation starter, and as always Sense UI is beautiful. On the other hand, the phone's 3D feature is not wor...
