HTC Rezound hands-on

[FlukeWinner]

Hey look!!!! It's an HTC Incredible on steroids!!!! Don't they make phones take piss tests anymore?

[Andy49man49]

1:56  happy 420 :p

[lamota14]

This phone looks and feels like a last generation phone unfortunately.

[Dredghill]

@lamota14 Hmm The nexus seems a step back and the Razr has some pretty rough ergonomic designs; in hand the rezound feels perfect for it's weight. It will get ICS update so; we'll see what HTC wants to throw into it

[lamota14]

@Dredghill Nah, it feels like a chode in your hand.

[intelxtreme]

New york sucks

[aquateenI16]

So glad I found out about this phone before I decided on a iphone 4s.

[MrDarkace10]

how is texting on the rezound??

[galaxymode]

yo! my phone is $20, and it can make calls and message.

[CRGryan5]

BEATS GO HARRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDD

[T34MUnKn0wn]

The fact Pretty Lights is playing in the background makes this video 10x cooler. HOORAY FOR HTC AND PRETTY LIGHTS.

[JezuZxHxChrizT]

1:57 lol 4:20.

[Neoand12]

I feel awful for buying an iPhone 4s...2 more years...

[blandinmotion]

@Neoand12 My contract with ATT was expiring soon and I dreaded another binding 2 yr contract with them and knowing I'd throw at least $4 grand into the contract before it ends. What's beautiful is Verizon's month to month $50 unlimited everything. Hate the service? Cancel anytime. w00t

[crazychainsaw007]

1.5ghz processor my moms laptop does 1.6 lol hmmmm can you overclock a phone? Never done it

[jim1621]

@crazychainsaw007 yeah

[djshortsleeve]

@crazychainsaw007 1.5 Ghz isnt even necessary. Android cant handle moving that quickly as it is. Try running the OS on a desktop with a 3 Ghz processor, it wont run any better.

[pyro74boy]

@djshortsleeve That shows how much you know about Android NOTHING because my old Android phone ran at 1 GHZ [single core'[ and the difference was not and day and I know what I'm talking about so try this GARBAGE with someone who does not know anything about Android because your full of bull.

[djshortsleeve]

@pyro74boy Its all in your head. The old phone was probably bogged down and limited by RAM and other things rather than CPU. The difference is not not and day.

[pyro74boy]

@djshortsleeve That's where your wrong the difference is not and day I know because I have used both a single core and a dual core processor so I know what I'm talking about so keep this in mind as you say this is all in my head because it's not its something called first hand use and after comparing both dual core is better and faster end of story.

[viperrcm0214]

Omg can't wait!!!!

[antjz0]

Nothing wrong with my TB. Why is everyone always talking crap about it?

[dylapherd]

So it basically added everything I didn't like about the Thunderbolt? YAY! But the battery! OH THE BATTERY

[evilbsod]

The whole video just waiting for 4:20PM. lol

[lilskitcom]

i hear some pretty lights haha

[Cripton805]

example to my previous post. Top tier phones for their time. Droid Incredible 1 and Thunderbolt. DI1 was promied to get 2.3 and it hasnt happened and Thunderbolt got it near its discontinuation. Dont be surprised if you dont get Ice Cream for a year+ on this phone or at all. Considering those have been VZWs all star phones... more than any other. DI1 was top top initial release flagship and so was the Thunderbolt.

[Cripton805]

fuck HTC and their firmware updates. As soon as they get your money, they screw you. They "promise" up their ass and then leave it until the last couple months before their phone is discontinued to sell remaining stock. I have to agree, I love my HTC. I hate Verizons and HTCs lies and support. Dont lie to sell a product. I would prefer the truth even if it didnt get the update.

[androidowns]

@Cripton805 Not like Samsung's any better.

[Cripton805]

@androidowns I don't think Samsung promises updates though to advertise their phones. This seems to be HTC's main form of advertisement since people are so interested in ICS. I think their HQ claims 18 months, but that means it could be the 1st month or the 18th for an update.

[shadowfreak22]

Can the phone also be for T-Mobile?

[ShiroKado]

@shadowfreak22 nope. 2 reasons, tmobile doesnt use CDMA, oe LTE, not on ATT either cause ATT LTE uses a different LTE chip and noot on sprint cause they just suck dick.

[drfahad234]

@shadowfreak22  No it can't. It runs on CDMA which can work on sprint

[kimsherwin16]

I Want . :(

[baselmansour]

Is the device supports 4G ??

[darkzero555]

@baselmansour he said 4G LTE

[SofaKingAwesome23]

@darkzero555 no, but is the device supports 4G?!?

[baselmansour]

@darkzero555 Thank you for reply, i didn't notice this thing

[Dantheman2010ish]

@ccrazybigseanfan thats what insurance if for. I am a little aprehensive about not being able to do a battery pull. I had the Bionic for about a month. Well actually 3 defective Bionics and despite the defects I never had to do a battery pull. And I ran that thing wide open relentlessly.

[angelprincesschef]

Does it have a Front Facing camera ?

[drkow19]

@angelprincesschef Yes 2 mp. So when they upgrade this to Android 4.0 you could see HTC's version of the face scanner to log in to the phone.

[dalex7777]

@angelprincesschef yes, 2 megapixel, same as Galaxy S II

[DylieHeadStrong92]

Super sexy Droid Incredible on crack.

[Widashy]

I don't care about Beats by any Doctor\Dentist. What I want is a beautiful screen having 341 PPI with 720P Resolution and that is what I'm getting.

[SuperFaggoat]

Get this phone and just root and flash it to a new rom if you hate HTC Sense so much. And for RAZR, you can press home button and power button at the same time if it hangs then it will restart like you took out the battery and put it back in.

[fvqu]

HTC will fail miserably unless they ditch sense. they just keep adding stupid shit to it that we dont want. just give us stock.

[BruhThatLoudPack]

@fvqu me myself i think sense is the best way to go till 4.0, your opinion?

[chavopersonhehe]

Why do you sound like Jonah Hill?

[316toke]

Oh shit.. It's 4:20 on the phone. I guess it's time to smoke.

[Doctors2Advocate]

The reason to get this over the RAZR is this phone's 720 x 1280 screen, 342 ppi pixel density... amazing. Galaxy Nexus with the same res but on 4.65" nets 316 ppi. iPhone retina display is 326 ppi

[ccrazybigseanfan]

@Doctors2Advocate YES exactly so what the RAZR is a skinny compared to the REZOUND the RAZAR's screen is so small compared to this beast of a phone

[Doctors2Advocate]

@ccrazybigseanfan By small you must mean lower res, both phones are 4.3". Honestly at this point the qHD of the RAZR is good enough for me and I'd go with that over the Rezound, just because it's so much thinner. And I hate Sense. To each his own.

[ccrazybigseanfan]

@Doctors2Advocate oo no i ment small as in size

[Dantheman2010ish]

Looks like its pregnant next to the Razr. And the Razr has a bigger battery. HTC what were you thinking?

[ccrazybigseanfan]

@Dantheman2010ish True but you can't take out the battery on the Razar so if it stops working your fucked

[hmfgotface]

4 :19... Got a minute?

[fgrfgfg]

"It is noticeably thick in your hand"..PAUSE

[jamiethomasqwerty]

Htc sucks

[ygswagg111]

3.5 Sense is no diffrent from 3.0 (sense) period will make your phone Lagg Not Worth it go pure Google Nexus

[ccrazybigseanfan]

@ygswagg111 The nexus is so plasticy feeling why would you want that if you can get this phone that is not plastic and plus the Rezound will get ICS anyway

[MCTemPErENce]

Power amp... That is all.

[DjKozDeFantastico]

haha it was 4:20

[MrAmmo30]

does it have htc sense? if it does then this phone is an utter bargain at 299.99

[mrbenjmenz213]

@MrAmmo30 yes, sense 3.0

[MCTemPErENce]

@mrbenjmenz213 3.5

[MrBlackSW]

This phone could have had the DROID branding, since it looks like a Droid Incredible on Steroids. All of the red touches on the speaker grill and the angled battery door. Looks sexy.

[Doctors2Advocate]

@MrBlackSW Among all the rumours, one I saw was that this could have been called Thunderbolt 2, or Droid Incredible HD... my guess is that they skipped on the Droid branding because they're going to push the RAZR a bit harder than this in terms of marketing and they didn't want 2 relatively similar Droid branded phones released at the same time, not like that's stopped them in the past though.

[evilmunki54]

BEATS audio is just a EQ adjustment with more emphasis on bass really.

[keepinitGcode]

htc is really letting us down. the only people who buy into this beats audio crap are rich peoples 16 year old kids.

[PufikaSs]

isnt it Sensation XE ?

[josiahivan]

@PufikaSs

no cus sensation XE is as big as the HTC titan 4'7 display. this one is only 4'3

[kattabinders]

@josiahivan The sensation XE is only 4,3 I have it, but I guess this is the US version of the XE :P

[kalash156]

@josiahivan Wrong, the XE is the same as the regular Sensation (4.3") but with Beats Audio and red accents. The XL is the 4.7" with single-core CPU and different form factor. Pretty much two completely different phones. The XL looks more like the US version Galaxy S2. So HTC Rezound is more like the Sensation XE than XL.

[UndergarmentBurglar]

Steve Miller playing in the background. Sweet!

[sbkite]

Beats audio=EQ+Packaged headphones

its shit. same audio chip thats been in phones since 2008.

[goldkear]

so much red!

[TheMexicaNigga]

Was goin 2 get the galaxy nexus but I'm not so sure anymore......

[PlayStationHidden]

@TheMexicaNigga same man! I'm a little confused bcz rezound has sense, bu no ICS and the screen's not AMOLED, and trust me, if you've ever owned a super AMOLED phone it's almost impossible to go back no matter which phone it is. Besides, SGN has deep ICS integration and a bigger screen as well, so i'm prbably gonna go with the SGN

[ccrazybigseanfan]

@PlayStationHidden Yes put it will get ICS ASAP they said so at the event

[mr2t3750]

I have the g2 and I'm already running this UI...and that phone hasn't even came out..and the beats audio does make a difference

[pwoo124]

"its noticeably thick in your hand".. thats what she said.

[RancidScorpion]

It looks like a sensation just on Verizon

[nygiantsfromcali]

I want this so bad but I have t mo

[187UmKillaa]

Man sense ui is gettin old and boring for me as htc user :s

[JohnnyChaseDrama]

4:20 ;)

[TheDrinkhere]

Nexus,rezound or razor what should I get?

[d1789]

300 bucks isn't steep for this device when u consider the fact that verizon charged $300 for the droid charge !!!

[ray1965mission]

Great job by HTC.. But I will be getting the Galaxy Nexus instead I already have the HTC EVO 3D..

[keepinitGcode]

the nexus has a 1080 P resolution doesn't it..?

[Spart4n02]

@keepinitGcode nope 720 p superAMMOLED hd

[IAmStobe]

@Spart4n02 Super AMOLED? mhm.

[don198769]

Forgot about the beautiful amaze on tmo also with beats audio.

[don198769]

I'm jealous, Verizon gets this beautiful, tmo gets the sensation xe or xl? Sprint has the great looking evo3d and att gets the ugly vivid. No beats on the vivid even though it's a new device, I'd gladly pay $300 for this phone on att. Guess it's the vivid for now and see what happens when my 4th line is due for upgrade this coming summer. Hopefully they do more with HTC in 2012 than they did this year. Isn't the vivid only the 2nd Android htc phone for att this year?

[Deadfrog82]

Techno Buffalo sucks d...

[ICYASIAN95]

@Deadfrog82 phonedog sucks dick

[300k20]

Yes. And it will get ics

[KRISHAUN27]

My next phone!

[MajorAlbo]

just compared your review with technobuffalo's review and this once was way better, more info and just better summary great job!
