I just watched a hands on video and was extremely disappointed in the amount of UI lag that I saw. This thing is rocking a dual 1.5GHz CPU along with a the 220 GPU and it still lagging like my OG Droid. No doubt its because of Sense, but still, its ridiculous.
Does anyone have the dimensions of this vs the Galaxy Nexus?
i think rezound is 128 x 66 x 13.5 vs 137 x 68 x 9 or soemthing like that.
like, some part of me is actually considering this over a nexus maybe if its liek $100 cheaper.
i've had a lot of HTC phones (g1,g2,mytouch 3g, briefly a nexus one, mytouch 3g slide and currently a tbolt) and well they are built really tough if anything. i've dropped and treated all my phones not so terribly and though my tbolt is pretty hefty relative to say a nexus S it does feel well built in your hand.
from the looks of it its slightly thinner than a tbolt and slightly less wide while being just microscopically taller.
so in the end its a matter of if ICS will get on this , or it is rooted and heavily community supported.
I've had CM7 on my tbolt for a while and for the most part its fine other than a few rough edges (and the tbolt has pretty poor CM support as its not an official build still).
that said, this has an S-LCD screen, so it isn't pentile so it has much more pixel elements than the galaxy nexus. its on a 4.3" so the ppi is higher. AND it has hardware buttons and 1280x720 so useable pixels is slightly higher even when it gets ICS (no point in having to render on screen buttons... so you'll hvae the full 1280 i guess).
it also has a 8MP camera which is probably nicer but who knows. it has an SD card slot etc.
i mean the main cons are, its not a nexus device (so it doesnt really lose the razr on this) , but at least since its HTC it will get rooted eventually and that its thick. the battery is also 150mah less than a nexus. and its got a snapdragon at 1.5ghz so its a heavily modded cortex a8 dual core and not a stock cortex a9 implementation. so i think its a pretty compelling phone on its own , and for most regular people hell they might like sense better.
i personally think its better than the razr unless you have to have the thinnest phone (the razr has a lot of drawbacks, sealed battery, lower res screen etc, encrypted bootloader if you are into modding).
i mean i for one am considering this over the nexus even because having owned a vibrant (galaxy S on tmobile) for about a month, i do have to say that the samsung phones are by far the cheapest feeling out there. very plasticy and cheap feeling at least the galaxy was, and i've got a friend with a nexus S and it doesnt feel expensive. if anything i wish HTC was still the company producing the nexus as their phones.
more likely than not ill get a galaxy nexus. but only really because of stock google. i'd have to think if it was a normal galaxy S 2 with touchflo vs rezound with sense on verizon i'd get the rezound.
