LG Spectrum vs Samsung Galaxy Nexus vs HTC Rezound: specs comparison
Other carriers must be throwing Verizon the nasty eye now that it is a carrier with not one or two, but three phones with HD displays and LTE connectivity onboard. 

The announcement of the LG Spectrum, which will land on Big Red in ten days, makes the already daunting task of picking a smartphone on Verizon downright formidable now. 

That is why we are sizing the HD trio up for you in terms of sheer spec numbers, hoping to paint a clearer picture out of the "too much choice" phenomenon that is shaping up at the nation's largest carrier. 

The LG Spectrum, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and HTC Rezound share a lot in common at first look, like HD displays, LTE connectivity, and 1080p video capture, yet are pretty different when you come down to the details. Let the numbers do the talking here, but the LG Spectrum marks a welcome change in Verizon's high-end LTE pricing scheme, coming at $199 at launch.

LG should just exit the smart phone market. Their phones are junk.

LG Spectrum, mainly due to the screen. HTC screens look washed out and the Nexus' colors aren't real looking.

Hmmm Lg spectrum, ugly as f**k, galaxy nexus, sexy beast. Lg spectrum, excessive 1.5ghz=s**tty battery life, galaxy nexus=perfect balance between power and battery life. Yeah the galaxy nexus definitely wins.

LOL, yeah, really! It's sad. Maybe these kind of folks can take some of their hard earned dollars and invest in a grammar school...what do you think? :)

Hold my galaxy nexus....multitasking at u fools.... while surfing.... a cool 4.0 wave......

$100 bucks more for Galaxy? For a phone that has less CPU power, less MP camera, and zillioins of S/W bugs that never ever gets fixed? No Thank YOU SAMSUNG.. You are not fooling me again...
HTC is almost identical with LG, but it seems like a brick!...
I think I will go for LG Spectrum.

The "almost identical" only in specs...user interface is VASTLY different.

Just waiting for the Rezound's contract price to drop. The more new "flagship" devices Verizon launches the closer I am to having the phone I want.

13. NoPhoney posted on 20 Jan 2012, 14:11

Yeah, I've got a $50 discount available to use on any phone with my upgrade, but on select phones, you may want to check some other sites for better pricing. Not necessarily on the Rezound, but there are a few that are much less (even with the Verizon discount) at Lets Talk dot com.

A few yrs ago when smartphones weren't even thought of, I bought 4 phones from them and put $350 in my pocket with their rebates! I only captured $50 as far as a rebate, but that was my phone choice, whereas my other 3 family members selected phones with $100 tied to them! :)
