The Droid Incredible 4G LTE is NOT an HTC One phone

I don't know what the difference is from BSI, but the Rezound has a Sports Scene setting that takes 5 quick snaps and let's keep/delete any or all immediately after the shot.

thanks, probably good enough for me. As long as battery life is decent I may be trading in my updateless nexus.

The quality of the lens (F2.2 vs. F2.0) is not dramatic in terms of light transmitting capability - while it is exponential you're not looking at a huge difference in the quality of the lens. The BSI (Back Side Illuminated Sensor) for the camera's sensor (8.0 MP) is a big deal as it's shown to greatly improve the capability of the sensor to capture a quality image. Now, what's not clear is how much the lack of the new hardware/software imagesense will affect the actual images - is it mostly used to increase the speed of picture taking while not actually improving the images, or is it a combination of improved images and speed. It the lack of imagechip/sense means I just don't get .7" first shots with a high burst BUT it's still a high quality camera I"m OK with that (and if it's at least as good as the Rezound it will be fine). If the pictures are significantly degraded then I will have a problem. I would have like to have the rest of the One X/S camera tech but I can live without it.

I would like to see a comparison between the incredible 4g and the rezound to me these phone seem very similar to the point that it should have been called the rezound 2 or the rezound plus instead of the incredible.

They're really pretty different. The DInc 4G is very much a progression of the Incredible line, keeping closer to the form factor of the previous Incredibles. It has a slightly smaller screen and the plateau back cover.

As far as specs go its not quite as clear as it seems. A quick glance seems to give the Rezound the edge but dig a little deeper and you see that the DInc 4G has an S4 processor, a huge step above the S3 in the Rezound, despite the lower clock speed. The screen is lower res on the DInc 4G but it is a smaller screen so image quality should be very comparable. The cameras are almost identical with the addition of BSI (backlit sensor) on the DInc 4G which will offer a slight improvement over the already very nice camera on the Rezound. Add in ICS and Sense 4.0 out of the box (Rezound will get ICS but only with Sense 3.5 or 3.6), NFC, the better efficiency of the S4 (meaning better battery life) and the DInc 4G starts to come to the top a bit. Its really going to come down to personal preference between these two.

I'm definitely going with the DInc 4G as I have been waiting on a 4G HTC phone with a 4" screen.

A lot of people I know personally think that 4 inches is the sweet spot as far as screen size goes. This will be perfect for them.

All of the other specs are pretty much better than the Rezound - and this phone gets DROID Incredible branding, meaning Verizon will market it much better.

I fall into that camp for sure. I'm really glad they kept it in line with the Incredible series and didnt' go massive screen.

Verizon HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE
8 megapixel camera with autofocus, LED flash, BSI, f/2.2 and 28 mm lens

HTC Rezound
8.0 megapixel camera with auto focus, f/2.2, 28mm wide angle lens


As you can see from the above the Incredible has BSI which is the burst mode similiar to what the One line offers. It is a 3 frame burst. The Rezound does not offer this. So while it may not have the imageSense chip it is still an upgrade from the Rezound.

BSI is backside illuminated sensor, which the rezound had.
