**IF**, by some miracle, HTC unlocks the bootloader....

---

... would this still be the phone to get over the SGSII? I'm not talking about sense vs touchwiz, i'm talking about raw power. How would the two phones compare running a stable nearly identical CM7? Can anyone (NO BIAS please) explain to me which phone has better capabilities?

I know I'm getting WAYY ahead of myself, but i'm still deciding IF HTC responded to their customers and unlocked the bootloader if I would get the EVO 3D or still wait for the SGSII, considering I'm sticking with either one for the next two years.

I've heard people say the SGSII has better raw power-- on the SGSII forum

I've also heard the some of you on this forum say the EVO 3D is better. Obviously, there is some bias involved and one phone is more powerful than the other.

I actually have some hope that HTC might do something about the bootloader. If this is the case, I have a really tough decision on which phone to still get. As for now, if the bootloader remains unlocked, its SGSII all the way

Who said the sgs2 on sprint is even true other than a random website. Certainly not sprint nor Samsung. Noone has a clue about what the phone would be or even changed with a slider. Its all rumors.

I think this deserves a bump :)

seriously why does it even matter? Say one phone is faster than the other. The specs are so close together that any speed difference would barley even be noticeable on a side by side. The difference would be nothing if you didn't have both phones in hand.

Really I think the biggest difference would be the UI, so debate sense vs touchwiz

Why does it matter what phone is faster?? Well thats a stupid question

more speeeeed! I need to open my yelp FASTER....FASTER!!!!! Ya. In the end I'd find a way to underclock the thing because battery life > all

No, it's a valid question and jessejames makes a very good point ... the specs are so close that any speed difference would be negligible from a user standpoint, especially if you're not actually doing a side-by-side comparison.

I'd even go so far as to say that the effective data rate differences between the various 4G transmission standards will have significantly more of an effect on apparent phone response times in many applications than any actual benchmark differences between the two phones.

I feel like the EVO 3d isn't much of an improvement over the EVO. Downgrade in camera department and no full 1080p recording. And still skimping on internal storage...not sure if the 3d screen is worth losing those other features....

I think ima wait for the sgs2 since the EVO 3d is the same as my EVO with a 3d screen and slightly better performance

After seeing the sgs2 vs HTC sensation it makes me wonder about the snapdragon processor....it doesn't compare in those performance test

Both good points, lol.
