I have both the RAZR and Rezound...and keeping both. Wil try to make this short as possible...
I have the Razr,my wife has the Rezound.
I love the features and radios on the Razr.
I love the shape and headphones on the Rezound.
Overall I like the Razr interface better.
If I could do it all over again I would have waited (if i knew) for the RAZR MAXX in late January.
The 3200 mAH battery is huge as both the HTC and the Razr eat the stock batteries up in 8 hours of heavy use.
The Razr Max will still be thinner than the HTC or at least very close in thickness.
This one caught me off guard between the 2...cuz so far the RAZR has better phone reception, might not be by much...and the Rezound might have better 4G reception. I havent compared them for 4G at my job with the leak for the RAZR...but the Rezound grabbed 4G on my floor, something the RAZR never did.
They both have better phone reception the the G Nex I had. Something happend cuz the G Nex started out good for phone reception, then it started going down hill the closer I got to the return date.
They are both great phones and are both better than the Galaxy Nexus. I would say that you should wait another week or two and pick up the Razr Maxx. With the 3300 mHa battery the Razr is just about the perfect smartphone and it is still pretty thin and light.
I know thats your opinion....and after having all 3...based on my wants n needs I would agree....IMO.
For my wants n needs.
That's a pretty Bold statement...saying that both the Rezound and Razr are better phones then the Nexus!
Honestly...that's not the topic here in this thread...but I have to 100% disagree on that statement.
But to say they are both better then the Nexus is based on what?
His opinion...lol
IMO...the Nexus beats them out just on the fact that it'll be Future proof for some time..
See...thats your opinion....just like mine and his are the opposite.
I have zero complaints about my Nexus. The screen is down right beautiful, the form factor is light years better then anything else available, its Super fast in all aspects ranging from doing small task like navigating, to going on the internet...its just lites out fast in every area I can think off, the camera for me works just fine with its zero shutter lag, and even though its only a 5 megapixel shooter, it does me just fine in snapping pics on the go. Moving deeper, as a phone this thing rocks, amazingly Super Loud and clear...best I've owned in that area. And with the Nexus I get Stock ICS and no headaches with having to wait for updates. IMO the Nexus is the Best Android phone that I've ever owned. And both people that I know that have it...share exactly the same honest feelings as me...And both like me previously owned the Razr as well....So that tells its own tale.
Me being a current RAZR owner that tried it out for 14 days...it had its good points. But the one area I have a big want n need in....it didnt deliver. The Rezound delivered better than the G Nex did. The RAZR does too. In fact....since the antenna is on the battery door for the Rezound....it could deliver better than the RAZR too. They are both neck n neck tho and did better than the G Nex in that one area. There is another side to that tale of folks that tried both, all 3 and chose the RAZR or Rezound, or folks who switched from a G Nex to a RAZR or Rezound.....and are happy.
What I'm saying is some people have to try for them selves...but to say hands down the Nexus isn't as good as the Rezound or Razr is pure foolery...
I agree 100% about ppl needing to try them out for themselves. Its his opinion tho...and mine too.
Not saying hands down better....but I feel that overall the Rezound and RAZR are the better....phones...I look at the overall package. And what would be deal breakers for me, important to me, for me. We all know there is no perfect phone, and we all have different wants n needs.
I flat out refuse to own a Samsung. Period. That being said, I'm sure the gnex is an amazing device. I have owned a couple HTC phones before the razr, and really liked them except for a few issues. I'm sure with the hardware the rezound has takes it light years ahead of what I'm used to lol.
Any of these phones would be a great choice. They all have their merits and detractors. The question you need to ask when choosing is what do you want from it?
And there it is....what do you want from your phone? Decide that and it becomes easier. Or should become easier. I also swore off Samsung...and after trying the G Nex...I just wasted mine and Verizons time. Its cool tho cuz I did get to see first hand what I thought was good and not good about the G Nex. ICS too.
Evey single person I know with the nexus has returned it due to reception issues...if you have no data 70% of the time the device is inferior....
With that said I am still torn between the razr and rezound ....the recent rezound unlocking, as well as the seemingly non-existant data drops have me leaning that way, but I definately like the form factor of the razr better. If I do decide on the raze I will wait to get the maxx however-i have very large hhands so the added bulk doesn't bother me. Plus I now have a thunderbolt which feels like a brick in the hand.
Count me as one that returned it for the same reason. And the other side of that RAZR to G Nex tale.
Most people are biased for the phones they bought to different extents, and that include you and me as well.
Nexus does have a very pretty screen. I made a switch from Nexus to Razr a few days back (had Nexus for 3 weeks) and while I could not notice any difference at first, when I looked up closely I spotted some jaggedness in Razr's small texts which I could not see on Nexus's HD screen. Still barely noticeable in everyday use though.
SO true....Another one from the other side of the RAZR to G Nex tale...
I agree that there isn't a clear winner between Nexus, Razr, and Rezound (and 4S too to be honest), but the decision will depend on your aesthetic preferences (which phone looks the best?), how you are planning on using your phone (Rooting and often installing new ROM's? Mostly phonecall and browsing? Listening to 30GB of music? Developing new apps?), and how you feel about ICS (Hate HTC and Moto's UI's? Gotta have ICS right now or don't mind waiting a few months?).
Agree 100% When you factor in wants, needs, preferences....there will never be a clear cut winner, best phone. Its all about whats better to you, for you. I have the RAZR and Rezound...and in 2 days I was more happy with it than in 2 weeks with teh G Nex. That also tells a tale...
Not picking on you sean, I know you go thru more phones than there are phones made...lol. I prefer the feel in hand of Rezound and G Nex over the RAZR. I prefer the power and volume button setup on the G Nex. I like the screen of the G Nex vs. the RAZR. I also see why ppl really like the Rezound screen too. Take away the washed out viewing angles and give it better black and colors IMO and it could arguably be the best screen on the market. I really do prefer Amoled screens now due to the colors. Like the fast boot up times of the G Nex.
I wanted to watch Netflix in the car ther other day and put down the Rezound and picked up the RAZR. RAZR did better in sunlight vs the Rezound. All these phones have pros n cons....
Liked that it was real easy to root the phone and unlock the bootloader on the G Nex, although I had some headaches, probably due to something with my PC. And bringing it back to stock was easy.
