How the HTC Evo 3D Stacks Up Entertainment-wise

By Gareth Jale


It used to be that a smart phone was nothing more than an advanced cell phone, and even the label 'advanced' was a bit of a stretch at times. After all, outside of superior portability, what did these devices deliver that the other gadgets in our lives didn't do better? But the times are changing. THis new HTC Evo 3D . The Evo 3D also supports 3D movies and other video files, which is something your computer or TV probably can't do, unless you've purchase one specifically outfitted for that purpose.

So with this kind of power on the horizon, it's time that we start to evaluate these phones by comparing them to the other gadgets we use. The HTC Evo 3D will be an amazing phone that will tons of accessories to expand its possibilities. But how does it stack up against the other entertainment devices in our lives? Can it fully replace our beloved Apple iPod? Or how about a gaming device like the Nintendo 3DS? Well, let's find out.

While the Apple iPod has come a really long way since its humble origins, when the iPod Touch released, the iPod versus smart phone debate became a lot more complex. The big drawback to the iPod touch was that you could only use it where Wi-Fi was available. The big advantages were that it had a lower monthly bill associated with it, was a dedicated music player and it could play games better than smart phones could. Now, while iPod still generally remains the cheaper monthly option, the rest isn't true any longer. The HTC Evo has better music support, as well as sound quality. Not to mention, it has more power and delivers a better performance than most phones.

The main advantage of the Nintendo 3DS is its ability to utilize the 3D function. Some cell phones did too, but early on there were issues, such problems displaying 2D. Phones like the HTC Evo 3D, those issues are all gone, so this becomes a debate with merit. The obvious advantage to the Nintendo unit is the control scheme, which is set up for game interaction. The HTC Evo 3D also has to be a lot more versatile, but has to put in front of it. However, you can buy accessories, such as a case or a screen protector, which is specifically made for gamers. There's even a handy base which turns your Evo 3D into a movie station or a handheld gamer.

A cell phone is definitely one of those devices that are a must have. We just can't get on without it. In the past, these other gadgets, such as the iPod and the 3DS, were there to fill in the gaps between our smart phone, computer and TV and entertainment center. But now that smart phones are so sophisticated, it has become a realistic option to eschew toys like the 3DS and iPod in favor of upgrades elsewhere. The bottom line is that this phone stacks up quite well to the iPod, the Nintendo 3DS and a wide range of other devices.
