  • I love my rezound. I love the way HTC sets up their phones. But ONE naggy problem I'm having is that when most of the time when I recieve texts on my rezound it doesnt go off until I wake the phone. I've run multiple tests on this. I've done a factory reset, toggled my power and auto sync setting, my sleep mores, my fast boot. And, it's about 75% of the time when I have to wake the phone to see my notifications and they all coem plowing in at once. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, fix?

  • lol NAKED eye and ORGASMIC display

  • @theminilotus I gotta do something to keep the attention of you guys.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly good come back and good comparison

  • orgasmic?

  • Ugh! I cant decide. Between these 2 phones. Can someone help please. Anyone!

  • BTW the iBeats headphone sell for 50 pound now.

  • Bob, is the epic 4g touch ur favorite galaxy s2 variant?

  • @nuffsaidguy Yes, it is. Sadly, I had to give the one I had for a few months back to Samsung. I'm gonna miss that phone...

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly one more thing I don't why but to u a 720 p display is a clear winner while you discarding that it has a s-lcd display

    On the razr the colors are more better sharper and crisper

    So be honest not biased

  • @TheRazrGuy Honestly, I like the 720p display on the Rezound so much that in my opinion it is a better display than the DROID RAZR's. You can certainly have a different opinion, however.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly I really think that you yourself like rezound more than razr

    But honestly I am telling the razr is faster than rezound in launching apps,and has better signal strength

    While the rezound has its own plus points the beats music 720p display better focus sense 3.5

    But for daily use razr is better it has better connectivity better camcorder more stable faster than rezound

  • Any PHONE I GET WILL HAVE ITS STOCK LAUNCHER REPLACED WITH THE LIQUID SMOOTH LauncherPro so I tested the store model REZOUND AT ZERIZON with the laucherpro 3D app drawer n it was ultra choppy ... Can u tell me if its due to the higher resolution screen or what

  • @DroidLocks6971 I really can't say what caused those results for you. If you figure it out, mention it here so that others will know what you learned.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • Hey Bob, as always, thank you for the great reviews. Well, the wife had a chance to play with the Rezound, the Razr Maxx and the new Droid4 and she picked.......the Rezound. She too liked the 'look & feel' of the HTC, loved the camera (pic's look very sharp), the way it felt in her hand. Don't get me wrong, the Maxx has that awesome battery and the D4 slide but overall, she really likes how the Rezound looks plus that screen resolution was very sharp (tested it on Netflix). Thanks again, ken

  • @Azracingfan You are welcome, Ken. It's great to hear that these videos helped you find the right product.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly I hope this doesn't sound corny but I won't buy any electronics (or most consumer items) without thoroughly researching....and when it comes to cell phones, it really helps to have someone like yourself to provide such great feedback. I know you don't typically do AT&T but I hope, hope, hope you get your hands on the Samsung Note (which is supposed to become the "Journal" for Verizon).....they look AWESOME!!!

  • I think Samsung kept the HD super AMOLED for their own Galaxy S 2 HD.

    negrielectronics. com /samsung-shv-e120s-galaxy-s-ii­-hd-unlocked-black.html

  • Rezound wins??? Wtf the razr is beast

  • why doesnt he juss push the videos and things at da same time to see which is faster

  • ORGASMIC DISPLAY ..  I LOVE THIS GUY!!!

  • @youkids123 get a HTC Rezound, the droid RAZR is not what you expect, it's not that bad, but it's slow. I have a Motorola Droid RAZR.

  • The razr is just slim and the nexus just has ics android 4 but all new phones will get ics so really rezound looks like the best deal. Nexus camera sucks

  • bull.

  • I currently have the Galaxy Nexus. I am pretty sure I am going to return it because of it's crappy signal strength. Now that I'm returning it, I am stuck between the Rezound and the Razr. Which one has better signal strength? That is very important to me because that is why I am returning the Nexus. Please can anyone help?!! Thank you in advance!

  • The razr still has a mkre crispy look on the screen.

  • To me the rezound is more for entertainment with is nice display for movies and beats for music. Where the razr is more for the working man. It's built with a metal frame, kavlar rear cover and gorilla glass for the screen. Both phones are awesome, I guess it depends on you want to use them for. I going with the razr maxx myself.

  • Its called MHL

  • uhg! i cant decide between the two can someone just tell me wich one is the best?!?!?!

  • Photo comparison is complete BS on this match. Photos were taken at 2 different times of the day while the subjects were wearing different clothing. OF COURSE the coat rack in the razr's pic would be more in focus as it was closer and more in the frame.  Why not use the same control measures? Chose a room that has no windows same lighting and take the photos of the subjects wearing the same clothing??? If you're going to be an authority be fair about it plese.

  • @jeminia21 I work in an office with minimal tools, so it's not possible to scientifically test the cameras. I try to duplicate shots within reason, and the "models" in these photos are co-workers who only slightly tolerate my requests to pose. On the other hand, I've had more than 1,000 photos published in real magazines and newspapers, so I know something about photography. I try to convey that knowledge in these videos.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • Also, there is a few big differences with the construction of both phones. I also like the added function triggers that the razr has.

  • With the introduction of the new razr maxx, would the decision be different on the outcome of this battle?

  • which phone has a better battery life? the rezound or the razr?

    i have the razr now, with 4g turned off, no gps, lowest brightness, and it wont even last me the entire day. do you think the rezound with an additional battery will be better? thanks.

  • @probowl2 If you get a spare battery for the Rezound, it will easily make it through the day. There is also an extended battery available for it. Of course, the new DROID RAZR Maxx is now out and it has a huge battery that should easily last you for a day.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly thanks for your help

  • Had my mind set on the Rezound for my first smartphone... then they got the Droid Razr 16g for the same price.. had me in a toss up. but for all the same reasons i think im going to get the Rezound.  thanks for your input Bob! its great to have a non bias opinion on electronics.

  • the razr would be great if it weren't for MotoBlur, i can't stand motoblur....Sense all the way!

  • around and around and around?

  • I've had the galaxy nexus, the razr, the iPhone and the rezound. The rezound is my personal favorite.

  • @chegenyanzi That's a lot of phones to go through for a couple of months.

  • I know I'm struggling to decide which phone to buy.

  • Bob,

    I am looking to upgrade to my first smart phone in april. What do you think is the best one out there? Should I wait until the fall for the iphone 5?

    Thanks

  • @glk9910 If you're on Verizon, the Rezound is my preference, although there's much to be said for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. If you can wait for a phone, there will be MANY excellent phones before the new iPhone appears, so your choice is not really "Rezound now or iPhone later?"

    Bob at Wirefly

  • I'd like to know who's idea it was to put kevlar on the part of the phone that doesn't even touch the surface its sitting on and is one of the least likely to get scratched.-_-

  • It's called hdml

  • Hello bob ! Let me confirm that the price of htc rezound on the link of your website tells that its price is 99$. While in the video you says that its price is about 300$.

    I'm confused a lot. So, please tell me whats the reason ?

  • @analyticalboyyy I really shouldn't have mentioned the price in the video, as I know that prices change all the time. The video was recorded in November, and the price of the Rezound has dropped since then.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly Please tell me the latest price of htc rezound of today ( 19 Jan 2012 )

  • Do you mean 150$ is the latest price of htc rezound ?

  • @analyticalboyyy Honest, the best thing is to go to Wirefly.com and check. I would have to do that to find out the price to put it here, so you might as well do it and get the correct current price.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • Actually, My problem is that I'm not from usa, I'm from Pakistan. So, can you please tell the latest price of mobile and the cost of shipping it to Pakistan separately !

  • @analyticalboyyy Sorry, but Wirefly sells only to addresses in the US -- we do not ship outside the country.

    Bob at Wirelfy

  • okay ! thanx

  • Razr is better. Better options (MotoCast and Smart Action) . And Rezound screen is amazing until its under sunlight. All in all Razr better ....thats why I returned my HTC for it

  • tell me which one is better the rezound or the sensation xl....???????? idk which one to get because both have beats..

  • Great review my Rezound is on the way this morning! Unfortunately I found your reviews and website after I ordered it from Verizon at the 199.99 price :( but next time I will definitely be coming to your website for my cell phone needs! Just curious could you do a battery stress test on a stock Rezound battery and possibly on the Extended 2750 mAh It would be nice to see the differences and your reviews are all high quality :)

  • @MrDeadeye60 Thanks!

    I've been thinking about running a battery test on the Rezound, using the AnTuTu benchmark app. That might be interesting for a future video. Unfortunately, there's no easy way for me to get the extended battery.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • I currently have an iphone 4s but my dad needs a pone and i could give that to him, should i keep it or get an htc rezound or droid razr??

  • @Gigitygigity24 I prefer the Rezound to the iPhone 4S, but it's your money and your call. At the moment, the Rezound has a great price on Wirefly and there's a coupon code to get a nice Plantronics bluetooth headset for free. Let me know if you want that coupon code.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • can you get rid of the flip clock on the rezzound?  i actually don't like it. I've always had motorola droids so i am unfamiliar with sense and htc. Thanks.

  • @sigh2infinity Yes... touch and hold the flip clock, then drag it to the trash can. Poof... gone!

    Bob at Wirefly

  • This review is so biased, it's obvious the guy favors the rezound right from the beginning

  • @hurlicane56 Well... I had used both phones and did, in fact, prefer the Rezound. When I start a Schmackdown, I know which phone is going to be the winner. Am I biased? Sure, that's called "having opinions." You can't be a reviewer unless you have opinions.

    That said, the DROID RAZR is a very nice phone. It's just that one had to be the winner.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly Everyone has an opinion and there is a time and place for it. However what you fail to realize apparently is the difference between an objective and subjective outlook. Objective is analyzing something based purely on facts and putting personal views aside whereas subjective is more about perspective and preference. Most professional reviewers know the difference and understand that a review should always be done objectively.

  • @hurlicane56 Your clarity of thought is impressive. I'll try to keep all that in mind.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly lmfao Bob you are a complete class act every time someone ribs you or talks schmack. Keep it up. I LOVED the review and I bought the Rezound myself based on it.

  • @kekler101 Thanks! I hope you bought your Rezound from Wirefly... :-)

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly I sure did actually and to my dismay wirefly dropped the price $70 a few days after I got it haha...what can I do??

  • @kekler101 Send me a private message here on YouTube with your order number, and we'll look into it. I can't make any promises, but we will definitely check into it.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • i think the super amoled looks better even though it has a lower resolution. i used to have an LCD phone and i couldn't seen anything in the sunlight but the super amoled was more visible to me.

  • "Orgasmic cell-phone screens".... lol

  • Can you make a video of HTC evo 3d vs razor or rezound

  • @mustang112189 Hmmmm... interesting. I'll take that under advisement.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • Hey I'd like to know if you could male a video of htc eco 3d vs rezound or razr

  • Bias...........

  • Wow bias as shit. Dude u shouldn't make videos anymore.

  • DROID RAZR!

  • 9:49 orgasmic xDD

  • could i get the rezound for free with an upgrade.? its $300 w/ a 2 year contract...if i cant whats the difference i have to pay.?

  • @koochiebear77 Check Wirefly's current price for the Rezound... I think it's well under $300. It is definitely not free, however.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly on wirefly it says $149 w/ a new verizon account, but i already have an account w/ them so could i get it for that price w/ a new 2 year contract

  • @koochiebear77 If you already have a Verizon contract, you will either have to get a new Verizon account to get that price, or do a contract upgrade. However, you pretty much need to be finished with your existing 2-year contract. Give Wirefly a call to discuss and get all the right information.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • This guy is awesome, he even takes the time to respond to his audience and viewers.

  • razr looks better but rezound has better features

  • Verizon seems to be really Trying to push RAZR Sales; it was really disappointing to see them Push me away from all other phones and throw "lemon" or the "1 exception" claims on them, almost as if they have way to much in stock and have to sell them before the company takes a hit. (Work in phone sales just not verizon :P) So perhaps the Razr isn't selling to well....hmm. IMO The Nexus/Rez/Razr Are all equivalent phones. Only real differences in flavors. Pure ICS, Sense, Motoblur, and screens.

  • @Dredghill *Working with phones; new Flagship devices releasing 3-5 months of eachother are normally all alike with small differences such as minor Processor increases, different screen technologies, and if you're lucky an updated version of Android. There's always a new one around the corner; and by the time the perfect one comes out you'll be in your grave. Whichever you choose you'll most certainly be happy with. Just pick the main things YOU Need/Prefer over others that you'd use the most^^

  • No one mentioned that the Rezound has SVDO, meaning you can talk and surf at the same time, even if you're on 3G!

  • you obviously prefer the rezound. I don't know why, given that the razr doesn't suck, but you definitely like the resound more. maybe you just like HTC more than Motorola.

  • @jgw3497 The DROID RAZR definitely "doesn't suck" but maybe I think that the Rezound is better. In my opinion. The Rezound has a higher-resolution display, iBeats earphones and a removable battery, among other features that I prefer. I like the RAZR -- but I like the Rezound more.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly The Razr has some nice options in it; but in a mindset of having to Have this phone for 2 years; I think people will be much more satisfied with the rezound than the Razr. Amoled is nice; but it isn't as True to Life and gives white's a more blue-ish hue. Id rather watch a video as it was intended than super high contrast imo. Although i'm not sure which fair's better in direct sunlight; where LCD's tend to have better than the older gen amoled displays. Feature Preferences. :P

  • understand.

  • note*

    

  • the samsung galaxy not has a 720p hd super amoled screen

  • @TechnologyNewsful The Samsung Galaxy Note is not available in the US. These videos are targeted at a US audience, as Wirefly sells only to the US.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @ bob of wirefly i have the samsung epic 4g the first epic and sprint service is not all that where im at im paying for 4g and dont have 4g where im at i also work out of town where my phone roams with sprint service and verizon basically has the best signal in the country im talking i work in a one stop light town

  • @Jmelpegues What is your question?

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @Jmelpegues If you want the same price if you're paying on a single line; Verizon has the stratosphere which is Identical to the Samsung Epic in all ways besides it has True 4g(LTE) and than a higher Resolution Front facing camera. (and comes pre-installed with Gingerbread)

  • Always nice to have the option of pulling out the battery on any smartphone or laptop. Why Motorola went with non removable battery was a bad choice, unless you want to monitor people 24/7. with inclosed battery you will always be plug into the matrix.

  • The Razr is a nice looking phone, it's super thin. It's a neato type gadget, but is it better than the HTC Rezound? pssssfff ahhh no.

  • Htc Rezound, better screen, removable battery, Sense 3.5, and the phone will still be working 2 years from now. Motorola Razr, nice attempt you're getting better, but no HTC quite yet kiddies.

  • that blue sky is killing those blue OLED's xD they will be all fuzzy and half brightness and washed out in 6 months unlike that LCD.. and omg haha he said orgasmic

  • Don't you just love it when he shakes his fists. :p

  • After seeing the display in person this weekend, I decided to order the rezound. The razr disappointed me.

  • Just returned Droid Razr and got the Rezound instead. I didn't like the pixelated Razr Screen.

  • Razr is 10X better i used have bolth phones and never going back to rezound razr is alot better ppl get the razr trust me u wont be disapointed at all the battery last so long and the battery on the rezound doesnt last that long and the razr is way faster on internet than the rezound

  • Droid Razr or HTC Rezound?! Will the Rezound run smoother with the new update next year?

  • I was choosing what to get myself for Chrismas and it was between the iPhone 4s stood razor or the rezound and the rezound is my new choice

  • @lil2pimp95 lol no! get the razr! besides, you can decide in person at the store.

  • @lil2pimp95 man trust me i had the iphone 4s the rezonde and now the razr and trust im never going back to the iphone4s and the rezonde cuz the razr is fuckin amazing trust me

  • i have the razr, and i love it, no one here is a fanboy, there just gonna stick up for what they bought becuase its expensiev. so everyone stop arguing.

  • guy from family guy? :L :L :L: L:L :L :L

  • You did not cover battery life.

  • look at the bottom of the phone at 3:44 fail

  • Droid Razr is meant for business people

    Rezound meant for people who just want to have fun

    but none of that matters to anyone just the thought they put into making these two for the ideal person to buy them

  • Got The Rezound & Its Outstanding (:

  • u can tell he likes th rezound more than th razr

  • Razr is better thats my opinion i dont care what you think

  • I love the Resound!!! I am getting it for Christmas!!!

  • LMAO. "holy cow, the Razr is just the slimmest darn phone i have ever seen."

  • @Everyone complaining about this guys' opinions;

    People are full of opinions. You're even putting out opinions. Deal with it.

  • Pocketability Round. lol

  • orgasmic...

  • I'M MEAN VID LOL

  • WHAT'S FUNNY IS THAT I'M USING MY HTC REZOUND TO WATCH THIS VIS!

  • 342 vs 326 whos first iPhones retina display its like 18 ppi difference serously like if you agree.

  • Very biased review..

  • im gettin the droid razr for christmas and im 12 so excited

  • This smack down was nothing more than just opinion and not what either phone can do. One thing i do know the picture and video quality on the rezound will be better motorola camera's suck. I got my razr comming from being on of the #30daysofrazr i will just use my thunderbolt as a camera and video recorder and for my mp3 player since its rooted with working beats audio in the custom rom

  • @jmelpegues sgs2 is better than both of these.

  • @blargblarg23, im somewhat upset because The reviewer was so freakin biased. And he gave points for stupid reasons. I dont care anymore about what phone is better. Whoever does video reviews, please do it after you get to know the phone(s) better. Thank You.

  • @ostorm why so mad lol

    

  • @Gsharpshootet80, i will. I love this phone. Non-removable battery is not a big deal, its better than that heavy, bulky crap called the rezound.

  • Maybe I'm use to my HTC thunderbolt but I'm returning my razr today for the rebound. True story!

  • Question should I leave sprint for verizon really want one of these phones and sprint has unlimited data verizon don't but they have the best phones and lte is blazing fast

  • @Jmelpegues There's no way for me to answer your question, as a lot depends on the service you get from Verizon and Sprint, and whether you need a new phone. If you have the Epic 4G Touch and excellent Sprint service, I wouldn't switch. But you might see things differently.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • Really grammar bro, razr screen is way bigger.

  • thanks for the reveiw i think ill get the rezound now plus beats audio and headphones like you said. the only other phone i was considering was the galaxy s2 but sadly its not on verizon.

  • the razr is better and looks nicer

  • i like htc sence but motorola has the best radio antennas that goes for ur gps and cellular connection but this 4g devices idk

  • great review Bob! dont listen to all these haters. they just cant accept the fact that they wasted their money buying the razr when they could have bought a better phone, HTC Rezound/the winner

  • @buffalosabres4321 thats right:)

  • @buffalosabres4321 actually Razr is faster and battery is great. But Rezound can get an extended Battery pack so :P.

  • I ges it all boils down to screens in my head well theres a 540 by 960 reselution also a super amoled vs a full 720p screen whitch is really nice in my oppinion the razers screen is better think about it super amoled is the best screen tecnology with desent res but pure res is good so i would say amoled is better becuse of the bright vibrent best colar and contrast

  • @southm13 super amoled may be brighter but the razrs is pentile subpixles so its not as crisp as the rezound

  • The orgasmic....

  • the razr can be rooted and have free wifi the rezound cant and wont be rooted until ics comes out the rezound is a better phone but because it cant be permanently rooted ill go with the razr

  • @williamsxl The rezound has permanent root now.....no need to wait for ics.

  • I think the Galaxy Note has a higher resolution at 1280 by 800 with Super Amoled just to let you know.

  • @nixty84 That came up about 25 comments ago... unfortunately, the Samsung Galaxy Note is not available in the US, and that's the market Wirefly covers.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly Oh ok sorry about that. Thanks for the great schmackdown! I would get the RAZR but I think I'll wait for the Nexus.

  • Forget The Coat Rack!

  • @wirefly match the razr against another phone this 1 wasn't fair at all u didn't even go over everything

  • @slapuhho I'm working on that 16-hour video where I go over everything. I should have it done sometime in 2013.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly that comment isn't funny it's just rude and evereyone can see that u defenetly liked the sensation xe better than the razr soo it defenetly was an unfair shmackdown ok Bob at wirefly...and btw ill be witing 44 that 16 hour video.

    Diego at MyHouse

  • @luisdiegors learn how to read first before u troll its HTC REZOUND not the sensation xe..and yes he probably like it better cus its a BETTER phone did u even stop n think about that...jus admit it that the REZOUND is a much better Phone..Save yur sorry excuse somewhere else buddy..like wit the iphoney 4s SCHMACK DOWN!!!

  • @wirefly The orgasmic... XD

  • I'm so glad I found this video! I am eligible to get a new phone soon and i was debating for a while on what phone to get. I recently went to Verizon online to look at phones and prices and I was comparing a few and stumbled across these. I was reading comments and reviews and they had the same rating and everything! I just made up my mind. Thank you for making videos such as this for the indecisive such as me.

    - Cassie

  • @LexIsAwesome7 You are very welcome!

    Bob at Wirefly

  • most of this is all just a opinion.

  • @bored873 I completely agree.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • is this out????

    

  • @007007473 Yes, the Motorola DROID RAZR has been available for a couple of weeks now, at least in the US.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly i meant the rezound.

    

  • @007007473 Yes, both the Rezound and the RAZR have been out for at least a couple weeks now.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly thanks. :)

  • HTC ftw

  • honestly, i like a heavier phone

    

  • Did he say orgasmic!

  • Great review

  • Ya! go Rezound imma go buy that!

  • You like that the Rezound has a flip clock and you don't have to flip back to the main homepage, the Razr does that too. You just have to customize it. Play around or study the Damn phones before doing these videos. You gave points to the rezound for stupid reasons. Get a life. Droid Razr all the way.
