Here is a screen grab from the verge review. Obviously you didn't read the reviews like I do. Told you you didn't do your homework.

That vs. real word use...
I can tell you as unbiased as possible. The RAZR screen isnt as bad as some ppl made, make it. And I have to agree with MA2. It wasnt universally reviewed poor. The Bionic screen is probably seen more universally poor vs. the RAZR's...and I dont consider that screen as bad as some ppl made, make it. I have never seen my screen look like what you posted.
I'm speaking as some who has both phones right now, and I also had a G Nex. Real world use....
I dont think any of us use our phones with the screen magnified, zoomed in as much as posts like that. A better example:
And even that is zoomed in more than we normally use our phones.
I said to myself I wasnt gonna post this....but oh well....
-Battery life is useless to me because I can get 30 hours on my device. Even if the maxx migt offer more.I have no need or want for that.
I have never, ever heard anyone say they dont need or want better battery life....lol. If you do fine with your Rezound, great. But cmon....lol.
-no sense, but doesn't maxx have motoblur which I've heard is the absolute worst?
Hearing about, reading reviews vs. actually trying, real world use is 2 different things. I actually prefer Blur over Sense. Blur has gotten alot better with the release of the Bionic and RAZR. Do like the features and eye candy Sense has tho.
-razr is definitely thinner, never compared thinness with rezound and maxx though.
-better colors and contrast? You can say whatever you want to make yourself feel better but the razr screen was universally reviewed poorly. Pentile screens are a step backwards in technology. You shouldn't use any screen characteristics in this post as there oant a single one where it outperforms the rezound. Fail.
I can say with an unbiased view as possible....that the RAZR screen isnt as bad as some make it....even in reviews. And debating about colors and contrast....that will be a never ending debate. Debating preference is a no win situation...no matter what the specs say. I didnt see the RAZR screen universally reviewed poorly. It just wasnt considered better than the G Nex or Rezound. That doesnt necessarily mean its a poor screen.
The Bionic screen is universally viewed as the best for outdoor viewing right now. Pentile n all. Its also universally considered worse than the RAZR's screen. For...my...use I would consider the Bionic a better fit...for me.... vs. the Rezound. For...my...use. And since I use my phones outside alot....the Bionic will fit me better than the Rezound. I see that already with my RAZR vs my Rezound.
See in the different forums how many ppl like the RAZR and Bionic screen to understand specs, reviews vs. real world use is always never gonna be equal. Ppl like what they like, regardless of the specs and reviews.
-issues? Not a single one. And coming from a Samsung device, I know issues. This phone is rock solid. Wrong.
Seeing as I had 2 Rezounds and they both had the exact same issues....with call quality and data...either HTC or Verizon sim cards need better quality control. And since everyone doesnt live n work in the same areas....some ppl might have no issues...some might. I live n work in a bad reception area...and my Rezound isnt cutting it as an actual phone. Again...either I got 2 bad Rezounds or 2 bad sim cards.
-rezound has hdmi out also.
-rezound also has car dock and I have it. Works awesome.
Seems like op didn't do his/her homework. Instead, chose the more popular phone based on advertising. FAIL. I'm glad I did my research. A great phone with amazing screen is more important to me than popularity (if that was the case I would have an iPhone) or overall phone thickness.
Good luck with your thin phone! Hoe it doesn't break
Rezound, rooted, loving it.
See what I did there....
We all just debating happily along about things we prefer...lol.
The only fail I see is trying to debate preferences and wants n needs as facts about whats better or the best. Specs? Yea you can debate that as fact...but real word use...not so easy. Forget the specs and reviews.....try real world use. I went above and beyond with my research...I went and got all 3 phones: the G Nex, RAZR and Rezound. Had at least 2 at the same time side by side. Nothing....nothing beats real world use. Every screen and phone has pros n cons. Every one. That hasnt changed in all these years and I dont think it every will. I would love to see the day the perfect phone and screen is made.
I understand this is the Rezound forum section and ppl will want to defend it. The Rezound isnt perfect, screen and phone. No phone or screen is. I think MA2's post would went over better if he said thats what he prefers...not what beats the Rezound.
The Droid X vs. Droid X2...in another closer to normal, real world use:
Left, Droid X2, right Droid X
Droid X:
Droid X2:
Now....an extremely zoomed in image of the same Droid X2 screen:
Seriously....these Pentile screens arent as bad as some ppl, reviewers included...made it, make it. I also did my homework...lol.
