HTC Rezound spotted in a Verizon ad – coming in November

By Jeffrey Van Camp October 31, 2011

November is turning into a big month for Verizon LTE and Android. The Motorola Droid Razr is set to debut on Nov. 10, and the Google/Samsung Galaxy Nexus is rumored to launch on Nov. 17 and will be the first phone running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Well, it looks like a third dual-core 4G LTE Android device may be on the way: the HTC Rezound (also known as the HTC Vigor, in some rumors). Droid-Life has captured a somewhat deformed shot of the phone via a Verizon ad that went live too soon. In the image below, the Rezound stands by the Droid Bionic and LG Revolution as an LTE device. Beats headphones and branding appear to be present as well.

HTC has planned a press conference for Nov. 3 where we suspect the phone will be unveiled. It is rumored to have a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and an 8MP camera. In other words, it should have comparable stats to the other high-end Android devices coming out this holiday like the HTC Amaze 4G, Droid Razr, Galaxy Nexus, etc. From the picture, it looks like it will also have red-face buttons.

If the phone looks a bit too fat or wide, keep in mind that this ad appears to be slightly distorted. The Droid Bionic and LG Revolution are not that wide.

I record interviews for work. These are my favorite free recorder apps

Before you head to the app store on your phone to buy a voice-recording app, take a moment to consider the apps that may already be installed on your phone. Why? In my experience, they're likely all you really need. I’ve recorded interviews and voice-overs for work for years, and I’ve found the two best examples come preinstalled on your phone already, so they’re entirely free to use.

The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases: 10 best ones so far

Two Galaxy Z Fold 5 phones next to each other -- one is open and one is closed.

Samsung’s next-generation foldable is here with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. This iteration has some notable improvements, including a new hinge design that eliminates the gap from previous generations when the device was folded. You also get a 6.2-inch HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the outside while having a 6.7-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the inside, with both screens having a 120Hz refresh rate. In other words, they're about as nice as you could ask for.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is made with premium materials, and the triple-lens camera system packs in a 50MP main shooter, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. There’s a 10MP selfie camera on the front cover, and a 4MP camera on the inner display. You also get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip inside for the best performance and power efficiency.

Google Pixel Tablet just got its first big discount and it’s worth a look

Google Pixel Tablet on its charging dock.

Tablets are a dime-a-dozen these days, with offerings from all the great brands including Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and more. So, if you really want to stand out in a sea of similar tech, you need to do things a little differently. That's what Google's Pixel Tablet offers. How? It comes with a unique speaker dock that can be used to both charge the device and offer room-filling sound -- almost like a smart speaker add-on. Better yet, when your Pixel Tablet is docked it benefits from the Hub Mode, turning the device into a smart display, with digital photo frame support, smart home controls, and hands-free Google functionality. Of course, it could set you back at full price, normally $499 unless you find it included in a roundup of the best Google Pixel deals. Well, guess what? Thanks to a Best Buy Google Pixel Tablet deal, you can get it today for $439 and save $60. Hurry, though, it's part of Best Buy's recent 48-hour sale so it won't stick around for long.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet
Okay, okay, so in our Google Pixel Tablet review, Joe Maring did give it less than stellar remarks, but he called out its reliable fingerprint sensor, comfortability during use and excellent speaker dock. Honestly, how many tablets come with a matching speaker dock that transforms the entire experience? This tablet also marks a "lot of firsts" for Google, as it's the first tablet from the company in nearly five years, the first Android tablet in eight years, and can be converted into a smart home display with the speaker dock. All of which are notable milestones.
