Two Great Phones In The HTC Evo 3D And The Samsung Galaxy S2

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.

Looking Back on the Changing Shape of Mobile Phones

Moore's Law states notes that the power in computer chips doubles in capacity every 18 months. The past decade has certainly seen this trend in consumer electronics and technology as products have become more powerful, more intuitive and far more integrated into how we carry out our lives every day. The change is most apparent when we look back on the ground-breaking mobile phones of the past and see just how far our phones have evolved into iPhones and HTC Desires.

Here's a run-down of the stand-out mobile phones from 2005 to 2009.

Year 2005: BlackBerry 7100x

We barely question receiving emails on our mobile phones now, but once upon a time it was the domain of business users, with few handsets pointed at the casual user. The BlackBerry 7100x was fundamental to the shift in BlackBerries and email-capable phones from niche to mainstream. With the SureType keypad and a more standard candy bar case, it was a key step towards the Pearl which pushed BlackBerry into the open.

Year 2006: Sony Ericsson K800i

With the trend towards email mobile phones, 2006 saw the handset that upped the game on camera phone quality – Sony Ericsson's K800i with the Cyber Shot name. With a xenon flash, strong software and a 3.2 megapixel camera, the K800i took excellent photos but didn't skimp on 3G connectivity, web browsing and music playing. Not only that, but it was Bond's choice in Casino Royale!

Year 2007: Nokia N95

The Nokia N95 was such a success that there are still people walking around with one in their pocket! With its rugged build, fine camera and many features, the N95 was a big seller, trading off Nokia's strong brand name that has great global cache for casual and business users alike.

Year 2008: iPhone 3G

The flagship Apple handset really came into its own with the 3G model. Running of 3G networks, this iPhone could take on so much more data and furthermore, it can with the iTunes App store, making it as a cross-purpose device. The iPhone lit up desire for smartphones and solicited as much spleen as worship.

Year 2009: Motorola Droid

Last year was the year of Google's Android, with two key releases: the HTC Hero and Motorola Droid. The Droid was a much-needed triumph for Motorola and with the strength of its specs and the introduction of Android 2.0, it was an incredibly popular phone.

As for 2010, no doubt this is the year of the iPhone 4 but not without fierce competition from the Evo 4G and forthcoming Windows Mobile 7. The new decade will see smartphones becoming stronger and cheaper, and with the fledgling US 4G network, the data networks they operate off will become more powerful. As cheap pay as you go plans with data usage become the norm and the data caps of pay monthly phone contracts stretch, expect to see dumbphones turn into smartphones and smartphones to get smarter.
