At some point, the beefier specs of phones coming from Samsung and HTC will finally force Apple from their ‘less is more’ approach, or knock Apple from the forefront of people’s minds when thinking about new phones. The HTC EVO 3D might just be crazy-powerful enough, and different enough, to do both. Then again, it might be another false start.
HTC jumps into the 3D arena with a stereoscopic screen, for eye-popping 3D effects and dual cameras to record 3D pics and videos. The videos are a bit too lo-res to get excited about, but any 30-somethings out there with fond memories of the View-Master will find the 3D stills charming and fun.
