HTC Rezound vs. Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello, I am posting this in the general forum because it would be unfair to post it in the Rezound or GNex forums due to bias decisions. I am going to compile a list of of pros and cons for each phone.
So where do you guys come in? Well, I don't actually have a GNex, and I'm not the best with reviewing my current rezound, so I want you guys to give me your feedbacks on these phones.
So without further ado, let's begin the Pros vs. Cons
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
PROS:
-Comes with stock ICS Android 4.0
-Abundant amount of Devs working for this device
CONS:
-Poor build quality
HTC Rezound
PROS:
-Great 4G reception
-Includes built on beats audio and comes with iBeats
CONS:
-Battery can get really hot (140+ for heavy gamers/intense users)
-Static in tons of devices when using the earbud Jack
-Capacitative buttons are sometimes pink instead of red
-Currently S-off and unaware when permanent root will become available
__________________________________________
Ultimately, this is to help the in betweeners (like myself) on whether they want to purchase the Rezound or the Galaxy Nexus. So guys, let's here your ideas.
one more for cons (samsung galaxy nexus):
low GPU (like sgs1 gpu)

Ultra High Quality Audio (UHQA) On the Galaxy S6 Edge

So the Note 5 is out and it has something called "Ultra High Quality Audio (UHQA)" Is it possible to port it to the Galaxy s6 and 6 Edge?
I feel this is similar to viper or xtreme. I recommend checking one of them out as it will probably give you more features as well.
In case it's unknown, UHQA has already been added in the software update to the Galaxy S6 Edge on August 24(today).
I don't hear all the white noise anymore with UHQA
It is smooth sound. I really enjoy the UHQA.
It does what I used to spend hours trying to do with Viper4Android.
I'm A musician to so it compliments SoundCamp Studio well, which I also really enjoy.
There is compatibility issues with both Viper/UHQA
enabled at once though.

Thanks for the video!
For my 2c, we have an S8 and a S9+ in the house currently, and I must say, the difference is astounding-- The S9+ has stereo speakers (Bottom and Headset) with a higher sound quality than the S8 and the camera on the S9+ kicks the S8's ass at the very least. to be honest, it kind of bums me out, since a single generation hop isn't really worth the cost if you outright buy your device, but the S8 seems almost toyish in comparison :\

Sony Xperia 5 III or Samsung Galaxy S21

Hi There,
I am looking for a compact device, which of course should be able to do everything. I currently have a Pixel 4. Now I'm thinking between a Pixel 6, S21/S21 FE and the Xperia 5 III.
Since I like to do photography in my spare time, the extensive manual mode of the Sony appeals to me. However, the device is quite bad in various tests (overheating, no inductive charging, for example).
I would most likely go for the Galaxy S21 as an alternative.
Can anyone give me a suggestion?
Since you said that photography is a priority I would'nt discard the pixel 6 as it Is the best "point and shoot " out of the ones listed .
The score is something like this
Pixel 6: Best "Point and shoot" Camera + Photo processing /Cons : Up until now it has been buggy even with the latest software updates (for some)
Sony :The most options to do the photos out the 3 , the cons you have listed them yourself
Samsung : A solid B+ or A- in almost every deparmant , not the most exciting amount of options , but it will perform and behave as expected /Cons : Different variants for different markets , make sure that you are buying the version you have seen the reviews of
Good luck!

NEW phone time !!!! Please help!!!!

Hi everyone,
Right now I own two phones a OnePlus 6 (256) and a Realme X2 Pro (256). I bought both of them immediately when they launched. I will be using them in Germany.
I LOVE the native call recording on both phones. I run a small service business and it helps alot!
I am thinking of upgrading for three reasons. I will list them in terms of importance to me.
1) I have a young child and want to capture the best videos and photos of him during this young age.
2) Hoping for better battery life
3) Speed & Performance
I am thinking of getting Vivo X8 Pro and/or the Oppo Find X5 Pro.
Questions:
1) Do these phones offer inbuilt call recording?
2) Will the photo/video quality be worth the upgrade?
3) Any other comments/ suggestions are very welcome.
Thank you very much!
I think Oppo Find X5 Pro is well in photo/video quality and inbuilt call recording.
