Bionic or rezound

[JJDH]

I have the bionic. I smashed it due to the data issues. I got mad and chucked it. Now I am getting the insurance replacement. Thinking selling the bionic and getting the rezound? I don't have a dedicated need for a particular phone. I just want a good device. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Go for it. I had the bionic for 3 days. Made my eyes hurt n gave me headaches. Have the rezound n loving it. Screen way better. Sound also. Don't lose data connection. Can't complain at all.

Personally I have not tried the Rezound, heard it is pretty good though. I have a Bionic, and yes the d.d (data drops) are annoying. Just did the new UD and its been working fine....IDK, guess i would have to try the Rezound to give an accurate reply.

you need to decide for yourself. I love my bionic and I have had no problems. Resound does have a gorgeous screen but you can see the bionic in daylight quite nicely. Beats is a gimmick...if you like bass heavy sound. Resound has more bulk.

Bionic is bigger then rezound but weighs less. With a case on bionic I had a hard time typing with my thumb. With rezound having a case I dont have any issues. Im not big on rooting but would be nice to remove sence 3.5 and just have a stock rom.

Get the rezound!! the beats are just extra.. that is a really nice phone even if the beats weren't included. Sense 3.5 is really smooth and visually appealing too

I think once you get so irritated with something you smash it, it is time to start new. If you stick with bionic every little hiccup it has will make you regret it. Get the rezound or nexus and then review the new phone against the bionic. Always good to hear a critique from someone with experience with bionic. I have 9.01 update and bionic work better than it ever has before. Better for you to try something new, maybe you will come back to bionic if new phone has bigger minuses for you. Good luck!

Had both for quite awhile, both very different phones and very different experiences.

Beats isn't horrible - it's a gimmick unless you need a set of headphones, which I did. And yes, there's a lot of bass, but depending on the music I didn't find it to be over done too often - to each his own.

Rezound screen - more accurate, much higher resolution screen, hard to see outside, but absolutely beautiful overall.
Bionic screen - very subjective... some love, some hate, but you can't deny it's brightness and ease of use outside.

Battery life - I found these two to have the best battery life out of all the latest LTE phones - on par with each other, but the Bionic probably slightly edged it out on an average day for me.

Data connection - My experience was that the Rezound's radio and ability to hold a 4G signal (and switch instantaneously) was head and shoulders above the Bionic's, even after the 5.5.893 update for the Bionic.

Sense 3.5 vs. "Blur" are very different experiences. Apples to Oranges in my opinion, you'll have to decide.

Hackability... obviously the Bionic has a lot more going for it in this arena right now. But I know for a fact that devs are working hard on getting S-off/perm root on the Rezound - and once they get it, the phone will be a beast with that HD screen.
