The Evo 3D shows all the hallmarks of an HTC Android phone. It offers a slim profile and an eye-popping 4.3-inch QHD display. Gingerbread is onboard and the handset also runs HTC Sense. Above the display is a 1.3-megapixel camera while below are the touch navigation controls.

Though you can't quite see the effect in this photo, the Evo 3D can take 3D still shots and record 3D video. The effect is subtle, but certainly noticeable. Images appear to float off the screen rather than pop right in your face. As with the LG Optimus 3D, you don't need special glasses.
