I am not sure if this really matters or not, but I had an opportunity to try out the HTC Rezound and the LG Spectrum for abiut four days. I had both devices side by side and honestly the Lg was just a better phone to me. I am usually impressed and always kinda wanting what HTC has to offer but not in this case. I mean I am having trouble understanding just why the ui is so bad to people, I do prefer the look of HTC sense and the feel, but the Lg ui is not bad and I have had it for at least a solid week and I have tried to do everything on it possible lol, except use a custom rom which no one has down yet due to lack of a bootloader. Honestly the lg ui doesnt even really lag or slow down, if anything its just as fluid as the htc sense on the rezound. I mean having four days of the two phones side by side I honestly just felt like the rezound was lacking, the only plus to it versus the spectrum is the beats audio headphones that you get.I mean honestly both back facing cameras are pretty similar, even wife pointed out and said the lg pictures looked better. I mean there is a blue cast on the lg and a yeelowish cast on the rezound. This is purely from my experience of each device and having them side by side and just testing.things. I also ran two benchmarks, one was quadrant standard and antutu or something like that and my lg did better on both of them and honestly the screen on the lg just blows the rezound away. The speaker on the back of the lg is signifigantly louder on the lg vs the rezound and even with the beats audio I still felt like the dolby digital sound on my lg was better and provided more enhancements which also helps in different apps. As far as call quality I didnt have any static or echoing on my lg, or hissing according to my wife, but the rezound did have slight hissing. The battery life on the rezound was poor at best very similar to my wife's thnderbolt, but still better. The lg can give me 12 or so hours of use on txting, using gps heavily, calling people, and playing games and using the web. but if I watch hd video and stuff I honestly get around 4-6 on my battery. at first my lg had bad battery life but now after a fww cycles of charging and.discharging it is way better. I still say the HTC Rezound is a great phone, just for me it wasnt as great as everyone is making it out to be or atleast in my opinion. I mean it had trouble keeping my gps location locked on several times in a single day and my spectrum does it only if I lose signal. I mean I felt knda dissapointed when messing with the rezound, I just found myself wanting to play with the lg... I can answer any questions as far as both phones go, as I did everything you would except custom roms and.such. Now my wife did prefer the htc rezound based on shape and design and pink capactive buttons, lol that are suppose to be red but look pink when they light up. I just think the lg spectrum is outstanding and fast and I live in texas and my job requires me to drive all over texas and there has been only one occasion with th spectrum where I lost signal, but got it back immediately. thats outstanding. the rezound was decent but signal was still not as great as the spectrum.
