HTC Evo 3D: First impressions and hands-on shots

Our HTC Evo 3D review model has just turned up and we’ve duly liberated it from its card and plastic prison. It’s virtually identical to the one we got to have some hands-on time with earlier in the year, boasting the same gold trim around the camera unit and the same model number on the back underneath the battery.

First impressions: so far so good. Whether you're bothered about 3D or not, our first impressions of the Evo 3D are all good. The various menu animations and the rotating HTC Sense widgets scroll with a greater fluidity than they do on the HTC Sensation. And we also liked that the old 'Home + Power Button' trick we're so fond of allows you to take screengrabs as well. So right from the word go, we've got a lot of love for the Evo 3D.

All the same we thought you’d appreciate a quick gander at the Evo 3D’s angles before our full review proper goes up. While you’re here, you can check out our earlier Evo 3D hands-on pics for a quick refresher.

This review sample we’ve been given is also not a proper representation of what you’ll get in the box when you open up your Evo 3D; the supplied mains charger was a 2-pin European type not the regular UK one. So this doesn’t strictly adhere to the usual Recombu What’s in the box? guidelines, hence the different than normal title.

We understand though that you’ll get the mains adapter, USB wire and headphones supplied as standard.
