Default HTC evo 4g lte vs GS2 e4gt

This is not a real review just an honest one from a real person cause i feel most of the time these phone makers pay these companies to make the phones just seem better during reviews like when iphones always get the better reviews on every much better android phone its only what i and 7 of my friends think that jumped boat from the gs2 e4gt feel about the new evo and i don't expect anyone but the gs2 e4gt owners to understand this:

Screen:

*CONS-I really like both of these phones but when i got my evo yesterday and compared it to my gs2 on youtube videos and pics i could not help but to notice that the gs2 still has much better colors and just looks better period i still like the evo screen until i see them side by side then the evo looks as if its color has been washed or faded.in my option the gs2 e4gt wins hands down but i still like the evo,i tried different brightnesses as well but still so so.
*PROS-The evo has a much sharper picture due to being HD and all but not always noticeable.

Camera:

*CONS-i have seen so many reviews and commercials on how this camera is so great not the case im not trying to be the one to spoil this but if you came from the gs2 e4gt you would notice it right away,i used my micro sd from my last phone and seen some of my older pics from the gs2 e4gt and they look amazing and then i took at least 20 pics with all types of high settings and lighting and these pics are grainy and just not as good when compared hands down.
*PROS-This camera i has pretty good quality for the speed it takes the photos in.

Overall Phone ui:

*CONS-None so far
*PROS-The ui is clean and fluid much more than the gs2 e4gt because it was real zippy but never fluid so the evo wins this.

Dude Evo LTE beats the GS2 in every department. Your also comparing last years flagship phone to a 2012 flagship phone. The only con I'd say would be the bootloader.
16GB + WIFI + 160 DPI
32GB + Toroplus + 240 DPI
EPIC TOUCH 4G + 200 DPI
16 GB/32 GB SD + Avatar Rom

Every phones better in its own ways.. Also this depends on each person preferences..

Even flip phones can be better lol.. You can throw one of them damn things against a wall and get a chip or two.. You'd need an expensive case on ours to not shatter the screen or something.

I think the SGS2 still looks better than the Evo. And saturated colors on the E4GT are much more enjoyable to me. From everything I have seen comparing the screen of the Evo to the int'l SGS2 and the SGS3, I can say I much prefer saturation over "accurate colors". The SGS3 screen also looks sharper than the Evo's. Not to mention, holding the E4GT at a normal distance still leaves me unable to see pixels. Until I hold it closer, like 6 inches away, I can't see them.

You really can't say the Evo beats the SGS2 in every department. Your grammar doesn't lend any credibility to your statement either.

And for last year's flagship, the E4GT is still an amazing phone. The only ones that "beat" it are the One X and the SGS3, and they have yet to be widespread. I personally can't wait for the SGS3. The screen looks amazing, and that Exynos shreds everything in its path. Hopefully Sprint or AT&T come out with a sexier version.

I think you should get a replacement for your new EVO, your screen is defective. I have a E4GT and an iPhone 4s, buddy just got a HTC One X...You can't even put them in the same ball park. Seriously it looks like those paint on displays they put on phones at radio shack. Everything is so bright, crisp and clear it almost looks like the icons are above the glass. Best display I have ever seen on a phone hands down and pretty much every Android or technology review site agree (pocketnow Engadget slashvear theverge ect ect). S4 is vastly superior soc, VASTLY. Im sorry Im not trying to be a jerk but you might be a fanboy if...you get the rest.

If this is only about specs, then the new Evo definitely has our E4GT beat. Then again, what do you expect? Our Phone is significantly older than the new Evo. If the Evo wasn't beating old tech from last year, that'd be cause for serious concern.

My Wife Got her Evo in yesterday. I like it. I specifically like the screen size and that it is specifically a HD Screen.

Personally though, I would rather Touchwiz over Sense any day. For how lightweight the new sense is, I noticed a small amount of lag on occasion. It wasn't a significant issue, but enough to notice and think "I guess it is not as fast as they make it sound."

My biggest gripe though has to be that the USB/Charging port is on the wrong side if you are to using the kick stand! What were they thinking?

Besides that I really like how it feels in the hand and it seems significantly easier for me to type with. Although if it were dropped I definitely foresee dinging the nice metal that lines the perimeter.

That's just my initial impressions from playing with it for about an hour.

The kickstand can support the phone on either side in portrait mode. Flip it over.
