HTC Rezound vs Samsung Galaxy S II Part 2 "Face Off"

[ACJack1000]

Touchwiz sucks! I have a samsung fascinate and it blows!

[Yanezj46]

I love my Rezound and its true what he says, the screen is completely gorgeous way better than my dads gs2 ! They're both great phone but I just thing my HTC is a little better lol

[kikkervisje1112]

Cool

[mikias0]

Gs2 had low wifi connection but stil the fastest

[justgosh]

Why would you compare page load speeds when the download speeds are that different? Switch them both to WiFi so I can get some real information.

[tonyorob]

You have to consider that the rezound's processor has to work harder because of the much higher resolution display than the s2. A fraction-of-a-second slower page rendering trade-off is definately worth being able to watch 720p Hd on a phone's screen...i'll take the rezound.

[assasin1324]

The resound will smash all phones when is gets ics withs its 1.5 dual core

[botafogo42]

galaxy sII has been winning every head to head match but i believe its closest match is photon, evo3D, nd droid razr......iphone jus sucks

[TheTikiboi]

@botafogo42 yes these bs phones coming out. it seems as though they never compare the s2 epic 4g because they know that phone is a sacred one lol.

[BennoAndMagic]

I've read that dualcore HTC smartphones only use 1 core for browsing and the other core does the background apps. Samsung has a dualcore and acually uses both cores instead of one like HTC. Can anyone confirm this??

[oldtwins]

@BennoAndMagic Only on ICS this is true. Nothing to do with Samsung - it's just a technical limitation of Android 2.3.

[Dredghill]

The rezound is ONE minute ahead of the GS2! :P

[MAXPWNAGE00001]

Why do people compare software on these reviews? You can install any homescreen or ROM you want, this isn't iPhone where you're stuck with the OS they give you

[ProWeAreSo]

Sgs2 has pretty much been winnibg every head to head battle. Phones that have come close: iphone4s...

[Msmiliee03]

SHOW ME HOW TO DOWLOAD I HAVE BEEN DYING TO DO THAT BUT DNT KNOW HOW

[XxXLostDkSoulXxX]

heres a fail G2 is 1.2GHz dual core, Rezound is 1.5GHz dual core its called htc sucks with software

[raney150]

@XxXLostDkSoulXxX Well the Samsung Galaxy 2 Skrocket is 1.4 Ghz, that's a closer comparison and it's not all about the clockspeed.

[XxXLostDkSoulXxX]

@raney150 ohh trust me i know its about all of that but it does help alot once you start cranking at higher speeds my Samsung Epic 4G is stock 1Ghz Single core, with it OC'ed to 1.5Ghz I can actually play GTA 3 without lag

[raney150]

@XxXLostDkSoulXxX Well yeah clock speed matters, but the architecture of the processor and the amount of cores the processor has affects that too.

[youry2010]

galaxy s 2 win lol

[nhsplayer07]

rezound has 1.5ghz, sgs2= 1.2

[chrischoy9]

@nhsplayer07 ReZound 1.5GHz Modified Cortex A8

SGS2 2.3GHz Cortex A9

[raney150]

@chrischoy9 The samsung galaxy S 2 is not clocked at 2.3 Ghz. So far no phone is. I think the most in any phone right now is 1.5

[chrischoy9]

@raney150 I just made a mistake

[MAXPWNAGE00001]

@nhsplayer07 My sgs2 is 1.5 ghz and even the 1.2 ghz version performs better. SGS2 is still the number one performing android device to this day

[raney150]

@MAXPWNAGE00001 And will probably remain so until the sgs 3 comes out lol

[TheSwanrunner]

this review is awesome :) good job :)

[raney150]

I think the Galaxy S 2 looks better. I think I like the keyboard on the iPhone better than these 2 phones, but that's about the only win apple gets lol

[MAXPWNAGE00001]

@raney150 You can install any keyboard you want on android. Like I said in my other comment, software is irrelevant on android because you can do whatever you want on both devices

[raney150]

@MAXPWNAGE00001 They compare the software because the average consumer isn't going to know all about roms and rooting and all that. I haven't used android much, but is there a keyboard that's similar to the iPhone keyboard? I plan on switching from my iPhone 4 to an android phone in about 4 months (probably the Samsung Galaxy S 3 if it is out by then), and if there is one very similar to the iPhone keyboard it would make it easier. If not then I could adapt.

[MAXPWNAGE00001]

@raney150 But still, it's like comparing two Windows PCs. The person is gonna compare the actual computer, not the OS because they both run windows.

[raney150]

@MAXPWNAGE00001 Well, it's not entirely the same. Manufacturers add their own UIs like HTC sense, motoblur, touchwiz, etc. It is worth it to go over the differences.

[godlovesugly208]

so...which one won?

me personally i think the display on the sgs2 is better than any phone out

but i would still way rather have an htc phone over anything else.

[15chich]

I think the best phone is

htc sensation xe

[TheMe571]

Galaxy S had better service

[stevenojops]

I think HTC only better in one thing GPS navgation !

[commandervega1]

of course you would favor your phone

[commandervega1]

sexy rezound

[BESTPAINTBALLA]

I meant galaxy s ( below me)

[F2Y]

I like how Craig just shows the comparison between the two phones with little to no bias. He just presents the phones features as is and at the end he doesn't go on a diatribe to say which phone is better, he leaves it to the viewers to decide for them selves by watching these videos to come to their own conclusions on which phone suites their own individual needs.

Again fantastic work Craig, I'm glad i'm watching these videos before I take the deep plunge on which smartphone I'm going to buy.

[iGhost]

text wrap is awesome. its also available on my sensation as well. i can understand the absolute gorgeous he says on the 720p squished into a 4.3 screen. my sensation is rocking it qhd and its awesome. perosnal preference: samoled pushes the colors way too hard, it just looks unnatural to me. I rather pick a more natural looking color display

[accellpo]

@iGhost The GS2 line lets you adjust how much you want the colors to pop. Sense UI runs heavy on resources. I'll never buy HTC again.

[iGhost]

@accellpo Its true sense ui is a hog but anyone can root it and flash a lighweight custom rom. That being said, besides good looking ui, i want my phone to look good and sexy.

From my pov, gs2 looks like a flat version brick. I am well aware of the performance of gs2 vs the sensation and its 768mb but i still chose sensation because in the end, when i use the phone whether for web surfing or movies, I am going to be looking at my phone for a good amount of time

personal preference really :)

[accellpo]

@iGhost Definitely agree on personal preference man. The Sensation looks good but my experience with the evo 3d was a nightmare. I've been using Android since day 1, and it was the worst one yet. It got so hot, burning up all battery life, when just sitting idle. Coming from the everlasting Droid X battery, this was pure torture.

I was in a bad place! Then the Epic Touch 4g came along and saved me. Best phone ever!

[Conceded1986]

This a good review you doing a good job. I got the galaxy s2 for sprint im so used to htc but i grew on this phone fast. I like the big screen

[jonaid0hashim]

4s vs galaxy nexus



[accellpo]

HTC is so overrated!

[cjohnsonatl]

@accellpo AGREED...I have the Thunderbolt on VZN, but I'm upgrading by the end of the year!

[accellpo]

@cjohnsonatl

Yeah, I upgraded to the GS2 from the Evo 3D. Battery lasted about 4-5 hours on the 3D! It was like a bad joke. I felt ripped off. Never again HTC!

[mrey555]

AG's just fucks every phone it stands with

[mrey555]

Swipe is useless

[soulweaponry]

Rezound ftw baby!

[Manny4Lakers]

Where'd you get that background for your GS2!???

[uptownblk]

The rezound is a great phone...

[redoni10]

i would prefer much more htc rezound but htc rezound has a really bad lag sometimes and for me that is the only problem at htc rezound

[V4V3nd3tta92]

Thx for the Smartphone reviews Craig. I appreciate and look forward to all your videos. It's nice to know that there is a non biased reviewer that through-roughly compares smart phones spec for spec & allowing the viewer to decide on which handset is best for them. Thx to you i've had only enjoyable experiences with my smart phones.

Keep up the fantastic work Craig :) 

[7ammoadel]

GSII rocks all phones

[traemobg]

HTC all day everyday!

[Renedroid]

my rooted inspire 4g is faster than those two phones

[moneyboi50]

@Renedroid Yey for rooted inspires! lol I have one too

[blkrse22]

Sgs2 is old device but still one of the best

[mikeballer08]

@blkrse22

its not only one of the best. It is THE BEST :)

[blkrse22]

Ssmsung displays are the best on the sgs2 just look much better than the natural color on the htc R, plus its much faster and smoother, and benchmark rights

[dancesars]

GSII the best. Again...

[DanTheManFTW]

My favorite part is always the browser comparison. Cuss i still have an Iphone 3g :( But im getting a Galaxy S II this black friday from radio shack :)

[BobbyK33]

Dolphin browser rewraps text with pinch to zoom on the sgs2

[eazail]

Do you have auto fit to page checked on the gs2? My epic re wraps text just like the htc. If I pinch to zoom, it reformats automatically

[iAnimationProduction]

The rezound screen looks washed out. but the pixel density is a killer though.

[mak450]

@iAnimationProduction it probably isn't, super amoled displays are oversaturated. So side by side, displays with more naturals color levels may look washed out.

[malik9210]

My HTC Amaze 4g is way better than the Samsung Galaxy S II

[FunnyPlace1]

@malik9210 they are both great phones, GS2 has wayyyy better web browser though

[malik9210]

@FunnyPlace1 yea any samsung phone has a pretty good browser but for the amaze to be a htc phone the browser i really good i think it come in 2nd to the GS2 line

[karampalg14]

not first :(



[logantylerm]

:D
