No, I think that is a selling point of the GN...the anti-smudge screen. And yes, that is a very cool feature. I hope that catches on and all phones get that.
Rezound vs Galaxy Nexus
- Thread starter tourboy
- Start date
I guess I get that impression from the commercials for it:
Galaxy Nexus: Calling All - YouTube
It is not being advertised as a developer toy.
EVERY legitimate review out there puts the rezound third behind the GSII and the iPhone 4S. The rezound camera is good. Its just not as good as either the GSII or the 4s.
No, they're not. I've compared both in store, as well as read all of the reviews of the Rezound and 4S. All of them included comparisons with other flagship phones, and all put the Rezound behind the iPhone in terms of image quality. They also put it behind the GSII. There were also a couple reviews out there (can't recall where at the moment) that said the Rezound camera was inferior to that of some other recent HTC handsets, including the MT4G Slide.
LOL
Wikipedia says:
No true Scotsman
No true Scotsman is an informal logical fallacy, an ad hoc attempt to retain an unreasoned assertion. When faced with a counterexample to a universal claim, rather than denying the counterexample or rejecting the original universal claim, this fallacy modifies the subject of the assertion to exclude the specific case or others like it by rhetoric, without reference to any specific objective rule.
An example of a political application of the fallacy could be in asserting that "no democracy starts a war", then distinguishing between mature or "true" democracies, which never start wars, and "emerging democracies", which may start them. At issue is whether or not something labeled as an "emerging democracy" is actually a democracy or something in a different conceptual category.

This from another post:
On the phone cameras: The Rezound is better than the 4S. How do I know this? Well, while this is the internet and I'm sure you're all racecar drivers who date supermodels, I'm good friends with someone who is both a professional photographer and an iPhone 4S owner. He said it himself in person.

Where are these reviews? I did show the video that showed the Rezound to be superior.
So how about posting some of those "legitimate" reviews?
It's pretty tough to actually find the data on the Rezound's camera, but it appears that to begin with it does have better hardware with a F/stop of 2.2 vs the iPhone 4S's F/stop of 2.4. (2.2 is better in this instance, it allows for better low light focus than the iPhone 4S camera).

I know, I know, according to Droid800 those probably are not legitimate reviews, however all three of those as well as many other pages confirm that same observation.
So Droid800, please post some of what you would consider a legitimate review so we may see what you're pulling your information from.
Which is completely understandable if that is your expierience iwith the commercialization of the Nexus. Just know that this hasn't always been the case. Much like Htc providing the means for the bootloaders to be unlocked. This is new territory that is being treaded upon.
Nope that's you.

I love how those reviews contradict each other.
Review A says the color reproduction is the same between the iPhone and the Rezound, but the Rezound has worse low-light quality
Review B says the Rezound has clear low light pictures, but the color reproduction seems unnatural.
It seems Droid800 is basing his own opinion off of other peoples (contradictory) opinions.
All this talk about "legitimate reviews" and I was expecting a photography magazine article or the like, not some phonearena links.

These reviews above do not even mention a comparison at all. As I suspected, you inserted your own opinion as if it was theirs. One of your links was not even a review at all, just a bunch of comparison photos, LOL!
Funny, in the comments on those reviews are users switching from the Nexus to the Rezound.
lol
Do you even have a brain? Are you that dependent on the words of others that you can't be bothered to look at the pictures for yourself?
ALL of those reviews have comparison pictures of the Rezound's camera (which IS the same as the Amaze's) with other cameras.
Or you could just look at the pictures like a normal human being, ignore the words, and judge for yourself. The pictures don't lie, and the Rezound is a distant third to the iPhone and SII.
Not hard at all. Google HTC rezound review, and HTC rezound vs. iPhone. All of those links were at the top of those results.
Most companies won't advertise in a manner that will dissuade potential customers. The GN still doesn't have an advertising presence compared to other top tiered phones. The average consumer doesn't know from a developers phone. They think it‘s the latest version of Samsung Galaxy S II on Verizon and it does in fact share some similarities. To advertise it as a developers phone would be confusing to most which would ultimately effect sales.
The nexus being a "developer" phone is well known in the android community. I'm surprised that this seems like news to you, unless your a recent android convert. I think most android forum members are more well informed than the average cell phone salesperson in a carrier store.
Like I stated earlier in this thread, I was initially frustrated with certain aspects of this phone. Then I remembered what I had read prior to my purchase, it's a phone embraced by the developing community. The developers were able to solve and exceed my expectations with areas that troubled me.
