Just can say : WOWEEEEHHHH !
A generic looking Starfox demo? I am still skeptical about the grafix race on smartphones. It's getting caught in the same mire as the PC. Tech demos that don't mean anything beyond fps counters and nerd bragging rights. The games that people actually play, like Magicka and Minecraft, can work on ancient hardware, not to mention WoW. As long as it helps multimedia use, UI acceleration, and power consumption, it is still justified. But beyond that when the focus is purely 3D gaming and the battery life goes to hell and the phone turns into a hand toaster, hopefully they will reel it in and stay pragmatic.

They've upped the graphical features since Cataclysm. Water physics/splashes are now in the game, for example.

What is the biggest reason that the evo isn't "Iphone" smooth? I got to play with a Nexus S at bestbuy a week ago and it really was "Iphone" smooth. Is it fps or something else in the system? Before anyone flames me understand that I love my Evo and would never give it up for the iphone, just a honest and curious question. Thanks in advanced

I heard that the iphone uses the gpu for hardware acceleration of the ui. Android phones don't yet...

It's true; well to be 100% accurate, not all of Android is HW accelerated. Some parts are.
On top of that the iPhone 4 has a PowerVR SGX 535 GPU which is twice as fast as the EVO's Adreno 200 GPU. For comparison, the Nexus S has the better PowerVR SGX 540 GPU (twice as fast as the 535 in the iPhone 4) but iOS's hardware acceleration still makes the UI smoother than the Nexus S with 2.3. It's rumored that Honeycomb will bring full HW acceleration and that should bring it to iOS/WP7 level smoothness for the GPUs it will support.

I don't know, could be a number of reasons. Android was first influenced by the blackberry OS and started changing it to be more iOS like once the iPhone was released. Could be that its taken this long to catch up to something which was lower in priority. Maybe it's because there are tons of GPUs on Android phones and its hard to support them all. A lot of the early Android phones were from HTC (which Google used to build the platform - G1, Ion, and only comparably, the N1) and had some pretty crap GPUs, maybe that held it back. Most likely it was a combination of these.

IPhone might be smooth but the lack of REAL push notifications, lack of TRUE multitasking killed it for me but that was back when I had one. Don't know if its still the same lol but its overrated for sure if you ask me.

So the bottom line for the UI to be smooth is hardware acceleration.... which is expected to be included in Android 3.0?

my girl has an iphone. i'd say i can make a pretty accurate comparison, being able to hold one in each hand at the same time.
don't get all butthurt because someone is saying you're wrong.
I'm not butthurt at all. I should have said iPhone4, because that is what I was referring to. If she has an older iPhone then I would say yes, the EVO *can be* smoother. But If she has an iPhone4, then you need to get your eyes checked.
So the Atrix doesn't have a gyroscope, and most likely has an accelerometer.
Would anyone mind commenting on how well motion control games and apps actually function with the Atrix?
How about a comparison to your old phone? It would be unfortunate to have something so powerful crippled by an overlooked feature.

Gyroscope has to bethe most overrated and useless feature on a smartphone today. Who buys cell phones to play games? Games suck on phones period. How's that GPS working for ya on that Nexus S lol.
True, but the N1 didn't support "true" multi-touch either, which I guess could be another reason it sucked. Can't wait to try it out on the Atrix...been mising FIFA10 since I've defected over from the iPhone.

What's the right way to do it? Because I can't imagine the flak Google will take once the crappy manufacturers get hold of the source code and devices with 128mb of RAM and 400mhz processor are running Honeycomb at glacier speed.
Suddenly people will be saying, "but I thought it was designed for tablets? Honeycomb sucks!"

I get your point but I'm not talking about quality manufacturers like Sammy. I'm talking about all the Chinese knock offs like the apad and those pos resistive things like the Disgo and the Next tab that are available in the UK and I'm sure elsewhere.
These things can't even run Froyo properly, what chance do they have of running Honeycomb?

I have the play in the MediaMarkt tested and the screen was actually very good.
But I would much prefer the GalaxyS2, because its a very cool phone.

Well comparing it to the evo3d it basically has better specs plus hw acceleration which is a very nice feature. The screen is awesome imo, tho some people don't seem to like the oversaturated colours. Personally i love it but you have to check it yourself before you decide.
Anyway i wouldn't upgrade right now if i were you, you still have a very good phone, just wait for something newer and better, like the quadcores expected to come out in 2012
My first Android and like this so much. Even after using it for three months I still couldn't make it work the way I'd like, but still its not bad. Frankly, I'd be more happy if this device had iOS instead of Android.

If this phone had IOS instead of Android id sell it, IOS is nowhere near as good as Android, everything works out of the box but your strictly limited in what you can do,i hate restriction.
Best phone right now without a doubt, having owned it since May it's been excellent! Pervious Android device was the DHD, it's faster, smoother and slicker!

Fastest android phone out there, but build quality could be better.
tbh the only phone that could probably knock the sgs2 off it's perch is the motorola atrix.. bigger battery and tegra 2, but then i've never used one so i have no idea about user experience.
Hello My very post here. Best phone I ever owned. it would have been perfect if it was a tegra Device can't see why they did that for a flagship Device !!!!
You will miss sense. Htc phones have better dialer, more useful widgets, like for example favorite contacts and rss reader, better sms delivery report, lockscreen and ringtone volume management. On other side Sgs2 has better multimedia support (mkv) better screen and weight, brilliant call quality and its very smooth in menus.
