Taking into account that it’s priced at the highest end of the ladder at $299.99 with a 2-year contract, it’s undoubtedly on the pricey side on any budget. The DROID RAZR fights for it with design, while the HTC Rezound does it with specs. Obviously, its 720p display is remarkably detailed enough to exhibit plenty of sharp visuals to wholeheartedly capture the title of being the most detailed display on the market. Needless to say, we love its detailed production, but wish it was better with outdoors visibility. Furthermore, it has the prestigious title of being the first smartphone in the US to offer Beats Audio support, but as we've said before, it is rather just a great pair of bundled headphones. However, save for the display, it is nothing out of the ordinary - compare it to the DROID BIONIC, and you'll not find other big advantages for the Rezound. In addition, the soon to come Samsung GALAXY Nexus will also offer a high-res 720p display, however it will be a huge 4.65” Super AMOLED one, packed in a slim body. It will also be the first one to be running on the latest Android 4.0 straight out of the box, instead of waiting for an update. However, the HTC Rezound simply lacks the crucial element of having that initial visual appeal that makes the Motorola DROID RAZR so breathtaking at the $300 price point. Looking over its specs sheet, there are obviously a few standouts that make it unique, but they’re simply not profound enough to entice us.
