It looks like the HTC Rezound is going to be a beefed up Dinc2.
I couldn't find the dimensions so I don't know how thick this is, but it looks like a similar design with:
-4.3" screen
-1.5Ghz dual-core processor
-1GB RAM
- 4G cellular
They are getting ridiculous with prices...
And this looks like the incredible allot...love the red mixed in it.

A lot of people commented on the article about the back. I doubt they read the whole thing, since it's a picture showing the case.
Looks pretty sweet. If I had 4g in my neighborhood, this would be the phone that would tempt me to possibly replace the Inc2, and I really like the Inc2 alot
Although, I think if someone were to put AOSP on it, it just wouldn't look right unless you had a red theme. For whatever reason, sense always looks good with red, and they added to that with the keys.

I am waiting for a phone to be 4G and have full GSM world support. An Dinc2 form factor with 4G and GSM would rock.

Ha! I actually would never buy it specifically because of the red soft keys. Unlikely, but maybe they pulled some slick trick like the rotating buttons on the Inc2 and made the color of the buttons changeable.
No hardware keyboard?
Too bad there is not a hardware keyboard on this.
Oh well a Bluetooth mini will have to do.
We might find an extended battery before the release.
Sweet ...
The only concern I have is if that dual core 1.5 ghz snapdragon will be able to handle the hd display and sense 3.5 effectively

If it were exactly the same phone with a 4" screen, with NFC and as thin as the RAZR, I'd buy 2. This looks to be nearly identical as the T-mobile Amaze 4g. Slightly too big for me.
Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm running its ROM right now to reply to this.

We are running a developer optimized, stripped down 3.5, a version of 3.5 intended for a single core processor (runnymede) with framework tweaks also though.
That said, the rezound will handle it just beautifully.
I've narrowed it down to these two phones. What does the nexus have that the rezound doesn't?

Rezound. You get beats, and sense.

There should be zero reason why you should get the Rezound unless you absolutely cannot live without HTC Sense and microSD slot. The Nexus is simply better in almost all aspects imo.
The Rezound uses the Qualcomm S3 cpu, its simply slower than the OMAP 4 of the Nexus. My Nexus could play HD MKV videos smoothly, while my previous T-Mobile SII (using the same S3) can't while overclocked to 1.8GHz, and everything else is smoother on the Nexus.

Are you serious? You'll never get sense 4 (officially), which is the only good sense version since 2.1. And beats? Sure you get ear buds, but you can pick those up anywhere. And as for the sound software, I can easily beat it using DSP Manager on my phone. If you're joking though, sorry for the mini rant.

I have a Nexus and my wife has the Rezound.
The Rezound is considerably slower and laggier in every area except the launcher and camera. Using the browsers between them is a night and day difference. Scrolling/zooming anywhere and even just pulling down the notification shade is pretty laggy compared to the Gnex.
The only slight pros it has over the Gnex is a slightly better display (it's extremely crisp and bright - the Rezound still has the highest PPI of any phone on the market) and reception seems to be a bit better than my Nexus. I haven't really had the signal issues you see a lot of people complain about, but the hand-offs on the Rezound between 4G to 3G and visa-versa are much faster. Sometimes I have to toggle LTE/mobile data to pick up 4G, even with the newest radios. Not a big deal though, I have a widget for it in my notification bar so it doesn't even take 2 seconds. (Edit) Oh, and the camera on the Rezound is a lot better of course too in terms of IQ. Nexus is just faster loading and taking pics since it has zero shutter lag.

The SD card thing isn't an inconvenience at all. Most of the people who rip on the Gnex for the SD issue don't actually own a Gnex. They just read on some website that it didn't have an SD port and were like HERP DERP OMG NO SD CARD DIS IS TURRIBLE PHONE!!1111
Get the Galaxy Nexus. It's absolutely awesome.

I'm running a rezound right now but sometimes I get nostalgic and pull out the old htc ttyn 2 and my touch pro, I miss the tilting sliders for long winded emails. Also wouldn't mind having another magnetic stylus port. A dedicated camera button should be on every phone in my opinion. I just like features, even if they're rarely used.

Days of battery life. lol
Also, hardware keyboard.
In fact, best cell phone I've ever used was my old Blackberry Bold 9650.
Limited in applications, but as a "phone", for talk, text, emails, etc. nothing has even ever come close to that phone.
VERY occasionally I miss running a non-Nexus phone and finally getting function xyz from AOSP to work on it.
How about real personal information management? Back in the pocket pc days you could attach contacts and tasks to calendar events...pretty much link anything to anything. Which goes to show that the smartphone has definitely been dumbed down. Oh and I also miss the trackball for text editing. Note to keyboard developers: please make an option too long press a key that pops up a track pad.

Personally I dislike the on-screen buttons. I came from the Galaxy Nexus which has a 4.65" screen. But, actually not. Because the on-screen buttons are always present unless you're watching a video. So when you're just browsing and using apps you're screen is not at its fullest. Notable difference in screen size when I use the LGOG over my Nexus. But again, it's personal preference.

Yea I don't like it either, that's why I'm so curious why Google insists on them.
Sent from my LG-P930 using Tapatalk 2
The bigger screen of the O.G ,plus the 32 Gig of memory, is the main reason why I'm thinking of paying more and buying it instead of the N4.It really shows to have the buttons onscreen instead of in the bezel. It really makes the screen smaller. Of course, unlocked bootloader, vanilla jelly bean and tons of devs might compensate for these flaws, but lower storage as well -- what worries me more at the end is the fate of the dev community for the OG, I really hope to see good development for that phone. It is really a good phone. If the devs pass on it I might just wait for a better offering later.. We'll see. I'd be happy ( I'm in canada ) to just get vanilla android and enjoy my phone

Seeking advice from fellow Note 2 owners. Should I trade my beloved Note 2 for a brand new HTC One?
I love the design of the One but battery life and screen size are two huge factors for why I got the Note.

Only you can really answer that, since it's really about personal preference. Everything I've read about the One is that it's a beautifully styled phone with great performance, but I'm not interested in a trade because I really can't compromise on the inability to remove the battery or the memory. I love Samsung phones for that. I always carry a spare battery and I like being able to put my own memory in the phone, and even take it out if I need to transfer some files to/from PC but not tie up my phone.
I might be interested in the S4, but even so, I find the Note 2 is just too comfortable to trade away.
While I have owned 3 different HTC products in the last 4 years, I have decided that going back to them is not an option.
HTC has continued to lock users out of even the most basic of functions.
I want to change batteries, and change SD cards, not to mention the fact that HTC is not known for it's quality devices over time. All 3 of my HTC devices suffered from hardware issues and random rebooting only 6 months after purchase. Two of those devices were bone stock. The 3rd device just decided not to turn on one day.
I treat my devices with the upmost care, and HTC failed to make the one year mark on any of the 3 I've owned. While my note 2 is running perfectly.
Samsung is the clear choice for me, and although the "one" is a good device on paper, we have yet to see the long term performance, where Samsung and it's note 2 are a proven winner...IMHO....g
Hard to say. Will be up to you in the end. Only Htc phone that I have had that was a beast before its time was the Hd2. That phone was awesome! Was rock solid. I still have the HD2 and I probably won't ever get rid of it. Of course I am not using it now cause I love my Note 2.:good:

I had the HTC One X+, received duplicate texts. Loved the phone but ATT gave me a Note 2 for all the issues I was having. Would never go back to HTC again after experiencing the awesomeness of Samsung.

We recieved our pre-launch shipments and I have been playinwg with it. The design is nice so is the 1080p screen, but I can't see me departing my Note II till the Note III. The metal case is going to be a problem for me during cold weather when holding your phone might feel painful. Furthermore I noticed that it heats up quite a bit from just installing a few apps. To my surpise it felt like a small hot plate. HTC Sense and Ultra pixels are nice for lowlight, but when you zoom in you can see the lower res quality of the 4MP camera.
Stick with the Note for navigating sites that need you to mouse over things, the awesome dev community, awesome 5.5 AMOLED screen, and light phone. So when you drop it .... it doesn't fall like a brick and smash.
i've read alot of reviews complaining about the heat issue; the ONLY thing that phone has on this is the forward facing speakers, nothing else...
Not enough to make me even consider getting one, plus of course, HTC's questionable quality, and inacessable battery/sd card slot
After the HTC EVO 3D boot loader debacle hmm my avatar says it all I will stay away from rant.
The ONE does look like a pretty sweet device but lack of removable batt , SD card and made by HTC is a big negative.....at least for me

You answered your own question when you said you got the note 2 for screen size and battery. You will be taking a big drop in both for those.
