HTC Rezound against the world: spec comparison

But...but Galaxy Note blows everyone with its 2500MaH battery and bigger HD superAMOLED screen and 1.4 dual core Exynos. specs war for the lol

The galaxy note's size itself makes me not want it, to me, it's not a half phone half tablet, its too big for a phone and too small for a tablet. I would definitely not use it as a phone!

Remember that the Galaxy Note requires a bigger battery because it's a behemoth... Bigger device and screen landscape to light up means bigger battery to handle the job... Secondly, EXYNOS chips are not capable of LTE, which should be a deal breaker.

you can't even put LG into the mix when it comes to top-tier smartphones. I have yet to be impressed by one of their devices. They may be the first to out something with the latest specs, but they usually come loaded with a multitude of bugs that take in some cases forever or never to get fixed..They really should just stick to the feature phone market where they do truly make great devices.

Optimus LTE looks sick! Don't be a hater.

i will second that better display and faster cpu, also Motorola has had many minor bugs in there new version of blur, HTC however has been smooth sailing

For me too only if screen was Super AMOLED Plus

4 out of these 5 phones are Verizon's really impressive!

yet for some strange reason, there are a couple million "absolutely brainless and stupid" people that buy it over a weekend

Its their wish and need .. You cannot call them foolish or brainless for that ..

its a 4.3'' screen but yeah i dont see how this beast will survive a single day especially knowing how the previous htc lte phone barely got through half a day.phone looks quite thick so if samsung and moto can put 1650+ battery in a thin phone,htc should have been able to put 2000mah in easily..samsung have released an official 2000mah battery for the gs2(uk) which comes with a battery cover and still keeps the phone less than 10mm....

I guess they didnt learn from their mistake with the thunderbolt. 1640 wont be enough juice at all

Not really battery life should not be a problem dual cores are more efficent then single core cpu an it will mostly come down to software like the voltage cpu is set to an small stuff like that but that display an lte will take a big hit on battery for such a thick phone you would think battery would be like 2000mah or at least 1850

i like your posts. but three in a row?

23. Cwebb posted on 03 Nov 2011, 16:13 4 4

Your joking right? My HTC Evo 3d, the Motorola Photon, and even the Nexus S 4g are infinitely better than any GS2. That's right, I said it, there are better phones than the SGS2

25. bucky posted on 03 Nov 2011, 16:17 2 2

now i know your joking. thats just silly.

32. Cwebb posted on 03 Nov 2011, 16:35 2 5

Evo 3d and Photon>SG I and II
Anyone who hasn't had a concussion in the past 24 hours will tell you that

Cwebb i had the photon before my epic touch, and the epic touch is by far a superior phone, MUCH quicker, better display albeit at a lower resolution...and did i say MUCH quicker? The exynos is a powerhouse. And whoever says a nexus s is better than a sgs2 must have been dropped on their head a lot as a child.

A SGS2 won't be better if it doesn't get ICS, and especially with Samsung's track record, I won't expect it to get it soon if ever (Yes, Samsung lies)

Cwebb, I agree about Sammy not updating and it will be a long time before they do upgrade if ever, but I don't agree with the Evo3d and Photon being better. Please educate me as to why as I have never owned either. I have the Epic GSI.

No way n hell those phones r fags

19. bucky posted on 03 Nov 2011, 16:06 2 5

why is that? the nexus has a better screen resolution and thats it. no sd card, camera is not as good, front facing camera is not as good, battery is about the same, its HUGE, processor isnt as fast as exynos, and gpu is older and slower.

The sgs2 has a huge backing on xda. the updates will be no problem.

37. bolaG posted on 03 Nov 2011, 16:59 1 1

I agreed with you up to the part that you said "gpu is older..."

Eaten alive?
Because they don't have dual cores?
Don't be silly boy.
Windows is damn smooth without fancy dual cores, and andro laggy even with them.
Yeah boy, you take a look only at spec sheet without taking into consideration a real life performance. Keep living in this marketing world.

53. EclipseGSX posted on 03 Nov 2011, 18:23 2 1

Have you even used a dual-core phone with android? When i had the EVO 3D is was smooth as butter

65. KingKurogiii posted on 03 Nov 2011, 19:50 1 0

platform smoothness is one thing app performance is another. after using my Droid 3 looking at iPhone 4s and Windows Phones feel slow at doing things in comparison

68. snowgator posted on 03 Nov 2011, 20:22 1 0

Yeah, as soon as I wrote that, smiley face and all, I knew someone would jump on me. Hoping actually, as I would take a WP any day of the week. Please do notice I said "on paper". I love WP real life performance.

However these are bad-tushie freaking phones!! I am not anti-Android by any means, and I am pumped by these things. How can you NOT be? Great Androids mean WP needs to work harder to keep up.... Better devices for me!!

26. Cwebb posted on 03 Nov 2011, 16:19 3 2

Um hello? The Rezound's PPI and processor even one-up ths SGN. The Razr may been thinner, but HTC's designs are on par with Apple, and way ahead of Sammy. The only thing that scares me is the battery, but you will be able to buy a bigger one/another one. It confuses me why HTC didn't give its most power intensive phone a massive battery

31. bucky posted on 03 Nov 2011, 16:31 3 2

the processor and gpu is pure crap.

33. Cwebb posted on 03 Nov 2011, 16:36 5 2

Whose? A 1.5 dual-core snapdragon will do more than good enough for any phone created to this day

Add htc sense on and watch mirco stutters. its ok at best but you were comparing it to the exynos. In that case, yes, its crap.

the 1.5 DC snapdragon is quite fast in this device it will pull up to around 2700 in quadrant all day.thats pretty fast and who would want a cheep flimsy plastic phone from samsung.. stop riding sammy so hard or u might throw ur back out! sense is the best that u can get other than stock

My Evo 3d can handle Sense 3 without and hangups or anything, with a 1.2 Snapdragon, and this has a even faster processor and Sense 3.5

Your evo 3d cant because I have seen it lag with my own eyes. Faster than the sensation though, ill give you that but the s3 chips are not that great.

the processor is actually the worst out of the bunch.

72. sgogeta4 posted on 03 Nov 2011, 21:16 3 0

Yep, it is the slowest when compared to OMAP and Exynos. But in real life if you were to compare them between a stock ICS, you probably wouldn't notice too much difference. The biggest slowdown is the UI that overlays the ROM. Sense is a big hog on resources and given it's the slowest CPU in pure number crunching, you'll definitely notice the difference if that same phone ran on either of the other CPUs.

it's more than just lag in navigating the platform. there's the matter of browser, flash, video playback & game performance. all have noticeable differences. even Phone Arena frowns on the performance of S3 using phones that are hyped up to be truly high-end now a days. there's games that are coming out that want to push the extents of a phones capability and that's set by the most powerful of them all which are the iPhone 4S and the Galaxy S II. crappy SoCs like the S3 will struggle with titles like these.
