LG Spectrum vs HTC Rezound | Speed, Performance and Features Reviewed | Full Specs Compared
What happens if a whole lot of TV series are released all at once to be telecasted at the same time? We would have a hard time trying to figure out what to watch, which one lies closest to our liking, which one has our favorite actor or actress in it, and which one is going to last long. This is the exact analogy we can use to describe the hype that has been created with CES 2012. Every major mobile manufacturer has been releasing or trying to release some new cutting-edge product of their own at the same time, at the same place, targeting virtually the same niche markets individually. We have a hard time trying to figure out what to go for, which one suits us the best, what handsets has our favorite features the way we like it, and which one will be cutting-edge after six more months. These are the questions we struggle when trying to pick up a handset to compare, but again we come back with a review on LG Spectrum against HTC Rezound.
LG Spectrum is one of the new handsets released by LG for CES while HTC Rezound was released two months back. Despite of the differences in time, we reckon they are perfect comparisons against each other in terms of the factors we were going on about in the introduction. HTC been the most anticipated mobile vendor in United States, has the competitive advantage of its fame and early release while LG Spectrum courageously fight back to win its place in the 4G arena. Let us look at the fighting strategies these two handsets have adopted in order to win over each other and grant the customer satisfaction as anticipated by everyone.
LG Spectrum
LG is a mature vendor in the mobile phone arena with a lot of experience in identifying the trends of the market and going along with them to maximize their penetration. The buzz words in the industry nowadays are 4G connectivity, true HD screen panels, high end cameras with 1080p HD capturing etc. Although it’s not a surprise, we are glad to say that LG has captured all of these under the hood of LG Spectrum.
我们将通过提及LG Spectrum不是GSM设备来开始比较。因此,它仅在CDMA网络中起作用,这使其与所有GSM设备不同,如果LG也发布了更受欢迎的GSM版本,我们更喜欢此手机的GSM版本。尽管如此,它附带了燃烧的快速LTE 700连接,用于互联网浏览。该频谱在高通Snapdragon芯片组和Adreno 220 GPU的顶部具有1.5GHz Scorpion S3双核处理器。这种组合由1GB RAM增强,并由Android OS V2.3姜饼控制,并承诺将升级到V4.0 iCecreamsandwich。它具有4.5英寸的巨型HD-IPS LCD电容触摸屏,具有720 x 1280像素的真实HD分辨率和326ppi的像素密度。用外行的话来说,这意味着,您可以在极端的阳光,奇妙的颜色复制,清晰和清晰的文本中获得清晰的图像,直至最小的细节,利用较少的功率。高速互联网连接的可用性将意味着通过邮件,轻浏览和社交网络无缝浏览。处理器的最终功能使您能够以一种可以在语音通话时浏览,玩游戏并享受媒体内容的方式进行多个任务。
LG在Spectrum中包含了8MP摄像头,该镜头具有自动对焦和LED闪光灯,并启用了GEO标签。它可以捕获1080p HD视频 @每秒30帧,其中包括LED视频灯,而1.3MP前置摄像头肯定适合视频会议。它还具有Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n,Spectrum也可以充当Wi-Fi热点,这将是用户轻松与朋友共享其超快速LTE连接的理想方式。内置的DLNA功能意味着频谱可以无线将丰富的媒体内容传输到智能电视。LG Spectrum的一个特殊功能是ESPN的ScoreCenter应用程序,使您可以在屏幕上享受高清运动。
LG spectrum is somewhat big, obviously because of the gigantic screen, but it is somewhat heftier as well scoring a weight of 141.5g and a thickness of 10.4mm. It has an expensive and elegant look with pleasing ergonomics. We gathered that the 1830mAh battery would work for 8 hours after full charge, which is admirable for a smartphone with a gigantic screen like this.
HTC Rezound
Just like any other HTC, Rezound also comes with the same look and feel. Rezound has become a little bulky though having a thickness of 13.7 mm. It comes with a black expensive looking cover which is comfortable to hold and operate with the smoothly curved edges it has. Rezound features a 4.3inches S-LCD Capacitive touchscreen with 16M colors. I have to confess; I am impressed with the resolution it offers. When I had my first PC, it only had a monitor with 800 x 600 pixels resolution. This beast features a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, which is still used as a standard resolution even in PCs. You can imagine how powerful the GPU is to accommodate that. It also has ultra-high pixel density of 342ppi, which exceeds that of Apple iPhone 4S and just might be the screen with the highest pixel density. What does this imply? Well, it means that Rezound would have an unbeatable display quality with crisp sharp images. The fonts would be razor sharp and highly readable, and any possibility for a smudginess to occur is thrown away with that.
HTC Rezound带有1.5GHz双核蝎子处理器,带有Adreno 220 GPU和高通MSM 8660 Snapdragon芯片组。拥有1GB RAM会大大提高其性能。Rezound带有16GB的内部存储空间,而使用microSD卡可以将其扩展到32GB。Android Gingerbread v2.3.4 OS通过无缝管理最先进的硬件来实现惊人的用户体验。HTC付出了很多努力来增强Rezound的音频功能,我认为这是从其获得名称的地方。HTC承诺使用Beats Audio技术和耳机进行工作室清晰的声音。它引入了新的Beats音频数字信号处理模式,以提供雷鸣般的低音,飙升的中速和清晰的高点!他们保证了Rezound的身临其境和史诗般的音乐体验,考虑到技术规格,这并不是一个夸大的夸张。
Rezound promotes super-fast browsing speeds with LTE 700 4G network of Verizon. It also has Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n for continuous connectivity and the ability to act as a hotspot enables Rezound to be used for a variety of purposes. It comes with an 8MP camera with auto focus and dual-LED flash, touch-focus, image stabilization and face detection. Not only that, but the camera comes with a panorama mode and an Action Burst mode for instant photography. It can capture 1080p HD videos @ 30 frames per second, as well as, 720p HD videos @ 60fps. HTC Rezound comes with A-GPS, and that enables Geo-tagging feature of the camera, as well. The generic HTC sense UI has been updated to v3.5 and offers enhanced user experience by extended configurability of the on screen functions and increased sensitivity.
Rezound不仅与声音有关。它通过MHL A/V链接和数字指南针,陀螺仪传感器,接近传感器和加速度计具有电视开放。它带有MicroUSB v2.0,用于在设备和PC之间快速数据传输。HTC在Rezound中包括了1620mAh电池,使其能够得分6小时24分钟。

结论
正如我们在介绍中提到的,这两个handsets we picked out from the smartphone marathon are splendid candidates for the competition. They are so much alike in hardware specifications that you get lost in the middle on what specs you were looking at. For instance, LG Spectrum and HTC Rezound have the same processor on top of same chipset, with the same GPU and RAM. The 1.5GHz Scorpion dual core processor on top of Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset is one powerful setup that promises sheer power unlike anything else. The RAM, Adreno 220 GPU and the Android OS v2.3 Gingerbread combination is ideal to improve the performance. That been said, the first noticeable difference might have been the touchscreen panel, in which, HD-IPS LCD capacitive panel of LG Spectrum excels to that of HTC Rezound. But HTC’s way of coming back is with their pixel density, which just might be the highest pixel density a handset has up to now. So in layman’s terms, you won’t notice a difference in that either. When it comes to physical aspects and ergonomics of the two handsets, they do differ. For instance, HTC Rezound has somewhat wedged top and is unusually thicker and heftier than LG Spectrum. But then, physical differences in the design are to be anticipated and depend on your personal taste. Thus, we would conclude that both of these handsets to be in equal positions, with identical specs and HTC Rezound just might get some competitive advantage since it was released earlier.
Anonymoussays
They do not have identical hardware. The Rezound has a better camera, and FM radio, and 12 gigs more internal storage. It also has better pixel density on the display and comes with expensive earbuds for free (even if you dont want them, they are easily worth $60+ on eBay). The only thing LG really has over the Rezound is the fact that the display is IPS instead of Super LCD.
