what's up everyone John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo here and today we're taking a look at the latest smartphone and Verizon's lineup to rock the awesome combination of dual-core and LTE this is the HTC built resound with Beats Audio living in there let's go ahead and see if it's resounding as the specs would have you think alright so we are looking at a black box this does look like the shipping packaging that you're probably gonna get when you walk into your verizon store or order it but there might be a little colorful sheath over it as well this was sent to us courtesy of the PR folks at Verizon and HTC well go ahead and take off your jacket cuz it's warm in here and we agreed it with another black box and got a Verizon embossed on top HTC logo on the bottom Verizon 4G certified with their blazingly fast LTE network go ahead open this up and there is the resound with a pair of eye Beats headphones take a look at those in just a minute go and get this guy out of the box or at least try to turn it over come near phone boom and here is the HTC Rezound it certainly does not feel like the finished phone on the market push it off to the side for just a moment see what else we're gonna have in the box so we've got damn eye beats go ahead and pull these out there we go take a look at these again in a sec we're going to have a little magnetic monster package with eye beats logo all over which is going to have inside I'm guessing ear tips huh different size your tips for different sized ears and a clip to clip it to things push that off 4G LTE SIM card and this is for will the LTE network SIM cards already installed in the phone pushes that off got some books and manuals got a cable micro USB for syncing and we've got see if it's got one USB port or two I was check that now one USB port that goes in to the wall all right so let's take a look at the phone power this guy on and we'll talk about all of its specs and the stuff that it can do Steve it's got a charge in it power on there we go awesome all right so let's go ahead and get a bit more into me here it's bring the camera on in as this guy boots up all right so here is the HTC Rezound this is going to be available for $2.99 on a two-year contract on November 14th it's running Android 2.3.4 we haven't heard anything about Ice Cream Sandwich coming into it but it is a just-released phone so presumably Ice Cream Sandwich will eventually make its way on here from dimension standpoint it's 5.08 inches by two point five eighths by pretty hefty point five four inches so over half an inch thick and it weighs five point seven eight ounces it's got a 4.3 inch and that's always measured diagonal s LCD screen the resolution of 1280 by 720 and if you're keeping track at home that's a 720p resolution so go ahead and and pull us up here take a look at HTC Sense in all its glory the battery is a 1620 milliamp hour affair it's being powered by a 1.5 gigahertz dual-core Qualcomm built processor with one gig of ram 16 gigs of storage expandable microSD on the back it's going to take a look at the hump of this guy it's got a camera with dual LED flash that's an eight megapixel shooter that can shoot 1080p video and it's got a two megapixel shooter on the front we've seen a 1.3 megapixel has become pretty standard HTC stepped it up here with the surprisingly good 2 megapixel camera of course you've got Verizon's LTE speeds which are awesome and blazingly fast if you have LTE in your area and of course you've got that B logo on the bottom which means Beats Audio technology so you're also gonna get this here pair of IVs headphones let's go ahead and take a look at the phone itself you've got your typical HTC Sense buttons here in bright red they are backlit as well you've got home you've got menu back and search let's go ahead and see we got in the apps Department gets there anything new and exciting living in here God lets golf heart pursuit and backup assistant some Verizon stuff mobile hotspot god I love that you've got a scanning application Polaris Office Verizon Navigator why'd you use that when you get the awesome navigation rolled into the Android operating system on the left hand side of the device you've got a microphone and the grand reveal of the sink and charging port on the left hand side the volume rocker up and down almost flush the device a little bit hard to feel without looking at it so if you have it up your head and you're trying to feel where it is definitely you're gonna want to get used to it bottom you've got microphones and the battery door that gets removed on the top you've got a 3.5 millimeter headset jack and your power and lock button and the back is made of this soft touch almost rubber feel it's got a almost different raises sides of it you've got that texture HDC part this is not a film that's gonna fall out of your hand it's not a phone it's gonna slide all along the desk go ahead and hit English it's really going to sit nicely from where you want it to be I'll go ahead and run through a little setup process here skip set up I don't want to say anything up so definitely not the finished phone on the apartment but you are getting some some pretty solid specs I'd almost say next gen specs but at the rate of dual core phones its LT coming out it's definitely a current gen alright so let's take a look at these eye beats and it's hard to sort of show you or let you hear it over over YouTube but these are the I beat headphones and you can plug in any headphones you want but when you use a pair of Beats headphones which does have control for play forward back and an inline mic warning next next so much setup finish there we go you are going to get some improved audio fidelity so I'm gonna go and plug these guys in and we saw this Beats Audio technology with the HTC built Sensation XL so I'll go ahead and jump into music and hopefully there's some music on here no artist found well I can't even show you it's gonna look like no music found that's disappointing generally when you plug it in you get music and I'll show you guys this in the full review you'll get a little red V icon it's gonna show up there at the top when you listen to non beats headphones versus Beats headphones the idea is that you can certainly hear improve the audio with these guys so something to keep in mind if audio is important for you this is probably going to be a pretty solid choice for phones so I'm going to continue to look through and see what else we got let's go ahead and jump into settings and we'll take a look at the about this phone let's go down to the bottom see what kind of software information we're rocking here so HTC Sense 3.5 as mentioned Android 2.3.4 is remember if you can count to three four I can see the baseband PRL and all that PRI versions and the rest of that software stuff let's go ahead and jump home so as I mentioned this is not the only dual core LTE device there's another phone on that rocks us actually there are two other ones here it's bring in the just release one this is the Droid Razr similarly SPECT but you notice a big difference if you look at these two side-by-side the Droid Razr is just incredibly thin hump or no hump it's still a much thinner than the HTC Rezound the presumably the idea fidelity is not gonna be as good on the razor but we'll put these two head-to-head and we'll do a decision but in case you wanted to see what these guys look like that you'd get a kick out of it so push this guy off this is the HTC Rezound are you excited you're not excited is this going to be your next phone I want to hear from you be sure to check this out at TechnoBuffalo comm for all your tech news including hands-on
