Released June, 2011
Rated 100% by by Lou-Z--loupz (Jun, 2011)I used it to drive my Sennheiser HD600 headphones and immediately heard subtle detail and smooth sound in my music that I had not expected from a phone - not that I expected much given past experiences, but none the less, it was a pleasant surprise that the sound quality was enjoyable.

EVO 3D by luink (Feb, 2012)3D Camera is really good despite being 2 megapixels (not recommended to take photos in quick motion).
EVO 3D by c|net (Jun, 2011)The Evo 3D's 5-megapixel camera delivered excellent 2D picture quality; 3D photos were another story.

Screen
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | Rated 100% by by germanohenz (Jun, 2012)The big display and the resolution are great.
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | Rated 60% by by DAG (Dec, 2011)All in all I'd say it's not bad considering most phones suck - and the large high-resolution bright screen is great.
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | Rated 87% by by c|net (Jun, 2011)It features a parallax barrier that displays two different images on top of the screen, thus creating a 3D effect without the use of glasses.
Video
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | Rated 100% by by big4x4 (Jul, 2011)BLAZING fast speed, higher quality speaker than OG Evo 4g, Nicer screen, Camera is noticeably better once you adjust settings properly, video is about 3x better and smoother.
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | Rated 100% by by Lou-Z--loupz (Jun, 2011)Either way, you can still take quality photos and shoot HD video in 2D as well and the shutter button is perfect.
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | Rated 100% by by Joseph-Martinez (Jun, 2011)Free 3D Spiderman game, 3D Green Hornet movie and 3D YouTube videos round out the main moniker of the phone and are fun to play with - but the real value of 3D is seeing 3D pictures of your family for the first time that brings a whole new perspective to your personal photos.
Camera
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | Rated 100% by by Sarii (Dec, 2011)The camera is a wonder in itself: I usually don't care about the phone camera, but the 3D in this phone is amazing.
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | Rated 87% by by c|net (Jun, 2011)The built-in dual LED flash helped photos taken dimly lit rooms look vibrant and crisp.
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | by GSM Arena (Aug, 2011)Finally, we find the pair of 5 megapixel camera lenses at the back, with the dual-LED flash in between.
Apps
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | by GSM Arena (Aug, 2011)You have a long list of options for connecting to a PC - Charge only, Disk drive (mass storage), HTC Sync, USB tethering (use as a modem) and Internet pass-through (the phone uses a computer's Internet connection).
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | Rated 87% by by c|net (Jun, 2011)Starting with a full charge in the morning and with moderate to heavy use (including playing 3D games and video), we were able to go a full day, sometimes early into the next day, before needing to recharge.
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | Rated 100% by by sunny (Oct, 2011)With this phone my kids love watching movies while I'm busy I know they are entertained the games are amazing 3d or not.
Resolution
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | by GSM Arena (Aug, 2011)720p is a good enough to watch movies, especially on a portable screen but 1080p capability is a mandatory performance benchmark in this price range.
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | Rated 100% by by Sarii (Dec, 2011)The internet (quality) is good, and I find that Dolphin HD browser works the best on it.
HTC EVO 3D GSM, WiMAX | by GSM Arena (Aug, 2011)A 1080p YouTube video playing smoothly was a nice surprise after the video player frowned at 1080p clips.
