Rated 76% by by The Verge (Nov, 2011)I took a lot of shots outdoors, and the phone's HDR mode really came in handy here — you can see a couple photos in the gallery taken both with and without HDR, and it really helps bring out foreground detail when you're dealing with an overpowering sunny sky.

Rezound by Louis-Agresti--wrightflyer1903 (Feb, 2012)First of do not listen to the Apple and Galaxy fanboys,the Galaxy and Iphone are far from perfect,where i will agree the battery could be better,but where this phone shines is the radios,never once have i had a drop call or data issues,unlike the galaxy,or the Iphone,hardware wise this phone will pretty much handle anything you throw at it,4G and Wifi are lightning fast,nice clear big screen well built,decent camera superior GPS,make the rezound a top notch phone.
Rezound by K.-TateThe HD screen pops, and the 4.3 inch size is perfect IMHO...bigger (and much nicer) than the iPhone screen, but not so big that you can't use one hand to do most everything.
screen resolution
Rezound by M.-Espina (Jan, 2012)Like I stated before the Rezound has a ppi rating of around 340 which makes this screen look amazing.
Rezound by scuba-steve (Jan, 2012)The huge screen with the 720p res is absolutely incredible (not to mention higher ppi than the retina display on the new iphones).

processor
Rezound by M.-Espina (Jan, 2012)The iphone is pretty solid ~12hr battery life moderate usage great screen, bulky, 8mp camera, has a very fast dual core processor and this nifty thing called siri (yes their are similar things on the andriod market, but stil not as intuitive).
Rezound by The Verge (Nov, 2011)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.

Rezound by c|net (Nov, 2011)The front-facing 2-megapixel camera is located on the upper-right corner of the display and the rear 8-megapixel sits on the back along with the LED flash.

cpu speed
Rezound by David-HaddockThe software and processor speeds have been nothing short of amazing and it actually has me catching up to it which is a nice change from dealing with a phone that would just suddenly shut off all the time.
talk time

1,290 min
1,260 min
Rezound by Benbear (Jul, 2012)Battery life on the rezound may not be the best but what do you expect from a phone with an amazing screen, 1.5 GH, and the 4g network on Verizon you cant expect much out of it.

Battery life
How much talk time do you get on each? How long can you use 3G and 4G on both? Do both phones support wifi? If so, how much battery life do you get while using it?
