HTC Rezound

The HTC Rezound ($300 with a new two-year contract as of 1/3/12) is one of the more capable devices released this year. With beefy specs, including a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor and Verizon LTE 4G connectivity, the Rezound stands its own against other Verizon smartphones. With a 4.3-inch 1280 by 720 resolution super LCD display, the Rezound is definitely on the larger side. While it may not fit in everyone’s pocket, that large display is great for watching movies and playing games. At 6 ounces the Rezound can feel a bit hefty but that extra weight also makes the phone feel rock solid. Like most other HTC phones, the Rezound has a straightforward design. On the front of the device are the four standard Android navigation buttons (Home, Menu, Back, and Search), as well as a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. The back of the Rezound sports an 8-megapixel camera with dual LED flash and is composed of a soft rubber backing that feels nicely in hand. The volume rocker and power button sit flush with the rest of the phone, giving it a very streamlined look, but also making them somewhat difficult to press down. Buttons aside, the Rezound is still a very well-designed device. When it comes to specs, the Rezound is a beast.

HTC Rezound Review

Review: HTC's marriage with Beats audio produced the Rezound which uses Beats software to up the audio quality on this Android phone. Verizon's 4G LTE network is starting to grow up. The HTC Rezound is the third dual-core device on the new network and HTC's second. The High Tech Company ushered in the high-speed network earlier this year with the HTC ThunderBolt, which definitely had speed, but lacked a dual-core processor, acceptable battery life, and a competitively thin profile. With the Rezound, HTC corrects most of these problems, but introduces a new one: gimmicky Beats Audio integration that doesn't really work.The Rezound is a bit of a revival for HTC. Design-wise, it's basically a sequel to the Incredible, right down to the red interior. Much like the Incredible, the Rezound has a rubberized black finish with bright red accents all over the phone. The rear also has that oddly shaped top to it with the right corner missing.There are some differences, starting with the dimensions. With a 4.3-inch screen, this is a larger phone than the Incredible and it's a bit fatter too, most likely so it can fit in Verizon's LTE technology and a big enough battery to manage it.

HTC Rezound review

Every few months — a year at most — we see a feature or spec introduced on a phone that represents a new standard, a baseline that future phones in the high end have no option but to match. If you go back a few years, you can build a list: the front-facing camera, the gigahertz processor, HD video capture, the WVGA display, the dual-core processor — all line items that set a new bar. They're not always important line items, of course — we could do without front-facing cameras, I suspect — but regardless, these kinds of things force manufacturers to up their games and move forward. Today, that must-have feature is now the 720p display. It wasn't more than a year ago that WVGA resolution was perfectly acceptable on a $200-plus smartphone, and qHD had just barely started to replace it over the course of 2011 when Samsung, LG, and HTC all decided that it was time to go straight to an actual high-definition screen. It's pretty remarkable to think that you've got close to a million pixels on a display that measures under 5 inches across. HTC's Rezound for Verizon is the very first of an onslaught of 720p phones to hit the US market.

HTC Rezound Review

HTC puts audio quality front and center with the Rezound, the company's first smartphone for the U.S. with integrated Beats Audio. When paired with the bundled earphones, the technology makes music sound like it was originally intended instead of a compressed mess. This $299 Verizon 4G Android phone is also the first for the carrier to feature a sharp 720p HD display. Does the Rezound do enough to make you forget about the Droid RAZR and the Galaxy Nexus? Measuring 0.5 inches thick and weighing 6 ounces, the HTC Rezound feels solid but is quite plump compared with other high-end handsets. For instance, the Motorola Droid RAZR (0.3 inches, 4.5 ounces) and the Samsung Galaxy S II (0.4 inches, 4.8 ounces) look practically wafer-thin next to the Rezound. The Droid Bionic comes closest to the Rezound's profile (5 x 2.6 x 0.4 inches, 5.6 ounces). On the plus side, you can tell that HTC took pains to design the Rezound with a Beats flavor. The phone's rectangular shape has attractively softened edges. Though there's no metal used, the Rezound's glossy black and gray plastic facade radiates conservative sophistication. Capacitive Android buttons (Home, Menu, Back, and Search) under the handset's 4.3-inch screen glow in a playful red.

HTC Rezound

The high-definition smartphone era is upon us. The HTC Rezound ($299.99) is the first cell phone to hit the U.S. market with a true 720p screen. It's also the first phone with Beats Audio, which promises enhanced sound quality via both software and a matched set of headphones. The Rezound has a few flaws, and it's pricey, but it's a powerhouse smartphone nonetheless. Design, Connectivity, and Call QualityThe Rezound measures 5.1 by 2.6 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs a hefty 6.0 ounces. It's not thin or light like the Motorola Droid RAZR ($199.99, 4.5 stars), but it's at least a little slimmer than the HTC Thunderbolt ($149.99, 4 stars). The Rezound is mostly black, with a rubberized back panel, and sharp-looking red accents on the earpiece speaker, camera lens, capacitive touch buttons, and Beats logo. HTC arranged the packaging to showcase the included Beats earbuds (more on those later); you also get a little carrying pouch for the earbuds in the box, plus multiple sets of eartips in various sizes. The 4.3-inch, 1280-by-720-pixel Super LCD display is pretty amazing. At 341 ppi, it's now the densest phone screen available, outpacing the Apple iPhone 4S ($199, 4.5 stars) with its 326-ppi Retina Display.

HTC Rezound Review

HTC has been one of the more profound vigilant figures in the mobile industry that always has a knack in producing quality smartphones. When it comes to the Android landscape, they were there right from the beginning showing their commitment in tastefully complementing Google’s mobile platform with something as equally compelling on the hardware side. With memorable devices like the T-Mobile G1, Nexus One, and HTC EVO 4G under its belt, all eyes are on them to see what they can do to continue that trend in the face of never-ending competition.Out of all the carriers out there, most people can wholeheartedly agree that Verizon has gotten its fair share of top-notch HTC smartphones – like the HTC Droid Incredible and HTC ThunderBolt. However, we can most certainly say that the HTC EVO 4G is still the benchmark device that HTC lives by to this day – mainly because it brought along a lot of ‘firsts’ that haven’t been seen before during its time. For all of us out there salivating for the next big thing, Big Red is being blessed with something so deliciously high spec’d on paper that it begs for some warranted recognition.HTC helped Verizon launch itself into the 4G LTE era with the ThunderBolt, a device widely panned as being a fitting candidate, but besides its 4G LTE support, it wasn’t all that cutting-edge.

HTC Rezound Review

Verizon isn't stinting on 4G LTE smartphones, and hot on the heels of the DROID RAZR comes the HTC Rezound. Where Motorola chased slimness, HTC has targeted all-round top-flight features of the sort we've not really seen from the company in some time. So, the Rezound packs a 720p HD resolution display, speedy dual-core processor and a slick unibody chassis in its quest to be the best LTE smartphone around. Does it all add up, or has HTC bitten off more than it can chew? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut. HTC's unibody design language is getting, dare we say it, and a little old now, and though the Rezound is arguably the best implementation of it we've seen in some time. The combination of textures and almost cartographic layers, along with the splash of red around the main camera lens, the earpiece and backlighting the touch-sensitive fascia buttons pick up on themes from the Sensation XE, Incredible 2 and other recent HTC handsets, and while this isn't a small phone (measuring 129 x 65.5 x 13.7 mm), it's one that feels sturdy in the hand. Up front there's a 4.3-inch S-LCD display running at 1280 x 720 resolution, like the Galaxy Nexus but even more pixel-dense.

HTC Rezound

The HTC Rezound is one of three hot new Android handsets headed to Verizon this holiday season--the other two are the superskinny Motorola Droid Razr and the Google-approved Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It's an embarrassment of riches for Verizon customers: they're all top-of-the-line phones with dual-core processors, support for Verizon's 4G LTE network, and features galore. What sets the Rezound apart from its brethren, however, is that it is the first U.S.-bound handset with Beats Audio Technology, which HTC developed after it bought a majority stake in Dr. Dre's Beats Electronics. The phone ships with a pair of Beats Audio earbuds that are supposedly worth around $100 on their own. When they are plugged into the Rezound, the phone will instantly recognize them as Beats earbuds and the user will then be able to boost the sound via a special Beats Audio algorithm. The Rezound is a rather hefty phone, but it's also blessed with an amazing 720p HD display that showcases HTC's attractive Sense 3.5 user interface. It sits atop the Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread OS, but HTC has promised that Ice Cream Sandwich will be available for the Rezound "early next year."
