    Watch JerryRigEverything's teardown of this phone. Fake "dual" speakers on the bottom, cheap plastic stickers made to look like metal, and a plastic LED flash module. That, combined with the fact that it's not even a Red camera on the back makes this phone absolutley over-priced. Should cost $499 at BEST.

Feed back is also critical, why would I say you have a ergonomically good phone when the price for said phone is way to high for the performance you’re getting. Also how do you expect a company to grow without feed back, because idk if you know this or not but not all feed back is positive.

      No offence but which performance are You referring to when You claim that it's "5%" difference. I think the 845 beats the 835 by more than that in most "departments"... Though they perform the same regarding "native megapixel support" where they both reach 16Mp. But on the other hand the 835 is only capable of 30fps 4k Video, but the 845 can handle 60fps... So in that department the difference is 100%, not 5.
      But the general point is simply that You pay for a phone which at present basically only has two selling points, "cool looks" (if that style appeals to You) and ""status"" (i.e. it shows that You have enough money that You can spend this much on a "rather ordinary phone") . If none of that appeals to You You are better off buying another phone...And You will get more for Your money.

      Monster hunter series were the few major titles to fully support 3D, but pretty sure no one would turn it on after the first 10 minutes. 3D display wasn’t popular because it is very tiring to the eyes for any length of normal viewing sessions and it is especially harmful for children.

FYI the evo 3d also had to use a separate app store for its 3d content also, but they even got gameloft to partner and make 3d ports of their other big mobile games specifically for the phone. This was when gameloft made the best mobile games(though they were knockoffs of popular AAA console games at the time) with no microtransactions or timers or anything. I have Modern Combat on mine and its baiscally like a 3ds, an old 3ds without the fact tracking though.

Now.. that said... if i'm to be analytical about today's modern smartphones then one could argue that insane price point is still a great deal. Todays premium smartphones are better than yesteryears desktop workstations. Think about it, a 2k oled display, OS, internet and cellular, music games motion sensors gps maps camera. all in one and in the palm of your hand, its truly amazing when you really think about it.

    Yeah my Evo 3D used to do that. I learned back then, it looks really cool on the screen. Never translates long term though. Like I cant upload it to FB, Instagram, etc. And eventually when the phone needs to upgrade, I cant even have the effect remain there because chances are the new phone won't have that 3D screen or be able to even read the 3D file type. Its a temporary function without any long term practicality and its such a bummer :(

    Well, I must say it sound like a perfect example of what a name does for something. As Marques said, without the name it's just some mid-range Android phone with a cool, narrowly supported gimmick. But with RED on the back, it's a whole different game
