[Q] HTC Rezound vs. HTC Droid Incredible 4G

So what I am basically asking is overall comparing both phones which one looks better?
Here is a list of a couple of specs:
Incredible 4G,
Screen: 4-inch qHD LCD screen
Processor: 1.2GHz dual-core processor, S4
RAM: 1GB
Camera: 8-megapixel rear, VGA front
OS: 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with HTC Sense 4.0
Resolution: 540 x 960 pixels, 275 ppi
Battery: 1700 mAh
Memory: Internal 8GB, up to 32GB microSD
Size: 2.4 x 4.8 x 0.46 inches
Weight: 4.66 ounces
Rezound
Screen: S-LCD capacitive touchscreen
Processor: Dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion
RAM: 1GB
Camera: 8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels, autofocus, dual-LED flash, 2 MP Front
OS: Android OS, v2.3.4, HTC Sense v3.5 UI
Resolution: 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.3 inches (~342 ppi pixel density)
Battery: 1620 mAh
Memory: Internal 16GB, up to 32GB MicroSD
Size: 129 x 65.5 x 13.7 mm
Weight: 6.00010 ounces
So what do you guys think? I am sure that more specs would be available later on.

I would prefer Incredible 4G

Just a few corrections, the display is S-LCD on the Incredible 4G (Perhaps even S-LCD2? Since the specs were quite vague, and didn't even mention the S4 processor), and it has 8gb internal memory.
I would rather take the Incredible 4G, mainly because it's ICS based, and it's lighter/thinner than the Rezound. The Rezound is a brick lol. I also like the 4" screen. You might want to add on that the camera that it has ImageSense, which is a new camera chip used in the One Series (and presumably this device). The camera on the One Series has been described as "near perfect", so looking forward to that.

Imo I would take the rezound. Better screen resolution and processor. ICS doesn't matter because the rezound is bound to get an update anyway sooooo yyyeaa

I can't find any compelling reason to not go Rezound. it's $200 less, the screen is truly magnificent, and moar megahertz!
if ICS is a must-have right now, then wander on over to the development section and find the latest CleanROM. lean, stable, and fast

The processor is not better on the Rezound. It's clocked at 1.5ghz on an S3, but the Inc4g is clocked at 1.2ghz on the S4. The S4 is a significant improvement over the S3 and should help a lot with battery life and performance.
What the inc4g has going for it:
S4 processor (LTE on-chip)
4" screen (if you like that size)
NFC
Much better battery life
Thinner
Lighter
ICS out of the box
Sense 4.0
3 capacitive button layout
Better camera (ImageSense)
Also it will not be priced at 299$, that was left over from the Droid Razr Maxx template the Dinc4G page was based from. It'll likely be priced 149$ to 199$. Possibly even as low as 99$.

Leaning toward the incredible 4G, I do wish it had a better pixel density. But with a lower clock and smaller screen, I can definitely see the incredible getting a better battery life.
But until its out and I try it for myself, I am undecided,
Also, the Rezound is a brick, especially when coming from the original incredible.

I almost forgot the incredible had a next gen processor...its kind of like my G2 how it was underclocked to 800 mhz but was an uprgade processor model from qualcomm at the time...

"Behold brilliance on the large 4" super LCD qHD display, on a device that still fits right in your hand"
That says S-LCD

When will XDA give the INC 4G it's own forum to talk about it? Both the Rezound and DInc original forums have some threads about it.

Rezound
Go for the Rezound - it has a bigger, better screen, and it's supposedly going to have ICS around May 9th. If you can save a bunch of money AND get an ICS device with better internals, then I see no reason to get the Incredible.

honestly the incredible 4g have the s4 over s3 that only advantage most of us here are rooting our device anyway so i dont think ics is big factor. As most of users in xda developers come here to remove the apps or overclock and so on reasons.

LG? Old version of OS? And more megapixels doesn't mean "better camera." The 2GB of RAM is nice, but honestly, I think I'll just see what the next Nexus has to offer.
Part of me can't wait to drop the G2x, but I'll suffer through to try and avoid getting burned on another POS from LG or jerked around by an uncooperative and developer unfriendly HTC.

Incredible specs but hardware depends on software which LG is notoriously negligent about.

Well, it has a Qualcomm processor

That's what makes the difference. Qualcomm releases its sources fairly quickly while nVidia doesn't.

Exactly, like the LG Nitro HD, it has CM10 officially already because it had an S3 processor. I'd buy another LG phone again if and only if it had a qualcomm cpu, and good support.

Not much difference? Did you not notice the QUAD CORE Snapdragon S4 using the Adreno 320 and 2 gig RAM? That's a HUGE difference in my book. Then again double the cores and a next generation GPU really isn't that big a difference, right?

Not if the firmware and OS have bugs and don't get updated as is usual for LG.

Not a chance. I'm not falling for that bs again. I see LG and thats where it stops. Admittedly LG does exceed in hardware usually, but the software kills it for me. I ain't buying half a phone. Gonna wait for the next nexus, see whats up with that.

Every time I think about it, LG phones are pretty cheap in price. In my not so vast experience, a bad device you suffer leaves a sour note.
I'd probably return to LG at some point, but with their poor track record, not any time soon. Even with the introduction of Quad Core processors, what app even uses 4 cores anyway? It's a phone, not your home entertainment system.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Nexus vs. Galaxy S II T989?

This is just for future reference, if better hardware aren't out at better prices already. Which is better? I don't really care about how "pure" the OS is, as I can just flash ROMs on any of them.
I'm most concerned with:
CPU: Qualcomm APQ8060 @ 1.5GHz vs. TI OMAP 4460 @ 1.2GHz
GPU: Qualcomm Adreno 220 vs. PowerVR SGX540

Since both have the same chipset, cpu and gpu I'd look at other features.
The display specs shows a slight advantage of the Nexus:
SII Display
Type: Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size: 480 x 800 pixels, 4.52 inches (~206 ppi pixel density)
Galaxy Nexus
Type: Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size: 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.65 inches (~316 ppi pixel density)
However, the Nexus does not offer external storage.
For me it is a deal breaker.
If for you it is not important - then the Nexus has the upper hand.

I'll choose nexus. Its not a big gap in processor and gpu i think

I already chose the SII, I have it right now.

Excuse my ignorance, but does the T989 have a significant (definitive) performance edge over the GNEX??? That changes everything for me. Now if we can only get a Jellybean update.

New Samsung Galaxy S4

Hi!
All speculations please into this thread.
I heard that the display will be a big jump compared to S3

I read apparently the s4 is more about software not so much about hardware. Yeah right more like more plastic and more profit.
I bought s1, s2, s3 paid enough for plastic but no more. Enough is enough. Look at htc now that's what I build quality, design.

Samsung Galaxy S4 will be most powerful phone till date because it is to come with an 1.8 GHz octa (8) core Exynos 5410 processor, PowerVR SGX 544 MP graphics processor, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB/32 GB inbuilt memory and will have a 5 inch display with 1920x1080p resolution.

Yeah that sounds good but the moment they wrap it with plastic it sucks. It loses al that appeal basically Samsung are taking us for mugs. Expect us to pay 500+ for plastic!! Still usin amoled everyone knows LCD is better.
If this is how Samsung treat their customers then they will lose their appeal just like the iPhone is.

More like 2.1mp front facing camera and 13mp for the main. Get your facts right bro.. and who said it's the most powerful? Because of that octa crap? It "may" be the highest clocked till date but that doesn't mean it's the most powerful. Snapdragon 600 is way better than that octa crap..

Not to mention the US is going to get a crappy dumbed down version...

It's not octa core, it's a 2 quad core, one for low power usage such as calling and one for high power usage for gaming and such.

Another gimmicky tweak like smart stay for S3. Never used smart stay it never worked as it was meant to and was excessive battery consumer.
Again my point for not buying S4 simple cheap plastic look, feel and quality. SLCD 3 is far superior then amoled screen.

The Better Phone..

Hello All,
I'm looking at either the BLU Vivo IV 5.5mm, or the BLU Vivo Air LTE 5.1mm,
I just love the super thin design of them both.. but, I'm kind of a newb to cell tech!?
What I'm not sure about are the Chipset/CPU & GPU, I've read quite a bit about them both & I'm still not quite sure what is better!? lol
Q: Which phone is better/faster?
Specs:
BLU Vivo IV. MAY 2014. NOW $250.
Size: 5.0 inches. BETTER!
Resolution: Super AMOLED, 1080 x 1920 pixels (441 ppi). BETTER!
Chipset: Mediatek MT6592. NOT SURE?
CPU: Octa-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A7. NOT SURE?
GPU: Mali-450MP4. NOT SURE?
Memory: 16 GB, 2 GB RAM. SAME.
Camera: 13MP/5MP. BETTER!
Battery: 2300 mAh. BETTER!
BLU Vivo Air LTE. SEP 2015. NOW $150.
Size: 4.8 inches. WORSE!
Resolution: AMOLED, 720 x 1280 pixels (306 ppi). WORSE!
Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410. NOT SURE?
CPU: Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53. NOT SURE?
GPU: Adreno 306. NOT SURE?
Memory: 16 GB, 2 GB RAM. SAME.
Camera: 8MP/5MP. WORSE!
Battery: 2050 mAh. WORSE!
Use: I'll be using the phone for calls (1-2 a week), light gaming, would like good graphics/FPS, & using as a security device for two step authentication for online accounts etc.
Thanks for the help, Phil B.

In terms of which is faster the blu vivo iv has better specifications and is faster then the air. Also because of the airs smaller and lower res screen and lower res camera I think the iv would be the better choice. However if you want the phone as thin as possible and would like to pay a bit less then the air may not be a bad choice though I think the 4 would be better for your needs.
Just my thoughts and the choice is up to you in the ene.
Hope this helps.
