[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i had a Rezound since Nov. 17th & exchanged it for a Nexus on Dec. 15th. that being the case, since i am a Nexus owner its not considered "thrashing" but "telling it like it is".

With the Rezound, it did get hot yes(but my Nexus gets hotter) & it had some lag here & there(again, so does my Nexus) but sadly, im having way more issues with the Nexus.

screen: Nexus is larger & the colors are a tad more vibrant, but there's the banding issue + actual image quality was noticably better on the Rezound. Additionally, on the Nexus, if i hold the phone close to my face(1ft) i can see fuzz/noise around text/icons. Which is common from pentile displays but thanks to the increased resolution/ppi its not nearly as noticable as on the RAZR. this is not an issue at all on the Rezound.

audio: sound quality on Nexus is decent although yes, volume is a tad on the low side. with the Rezound the sound was fantastic and no low volume issues.

signal: reception on my Nexus is horrid. places where id have full reception with my Rezound i now get 1 - 2 bars with my Nexus. the Nexus will even go into '3G' mode in areas where i had 2 - 3 bars 4G on my Rezound.

speed: ive noticed data transfers on my Nexus arent quite what they were on my Rezound. i used to be able to download a 1GB file in about 5 minutes on my Rezound. on this Nexus it takes 30 - 40 minutes to download 1GB.

benchmarks: sure these may not have much meaning, but for the hell of it i tried them out a few times when i had the Rezound and on that phone they averaged a score of 5500 - 5800. on this Nexus, they are averaging 5600 - 5800... and note: the Rezound is being held back from its true potential thanks to Gingerbread+Sense. i can imagine the difference once it gets root+ICS/AOSP.

playback(video): one of the big things i like to do is download tv shows and watch them on my phone. lots of what i get are 720P (AC3) .MKV files. i download straight from my phone and dont want to be bothered with having to copy them to my PC & convert. sadly, these files seem to be unplayable on the Nexus(at least for now). ive tried practically every app on Market and upon attempting to load the files ill either get "unsupported" or it will just freeze/crash the phone and ill have to do a battery pull. some apps will play what seems random files in "software mode" but the playback quality is sub par w/ occassional sync errors. again, on the Rezound i had no trouble whatsoever with these.

storage: as we know, the Nexus has 32GB built in and no expansion. google/verizon apparently hope we'll put the cloud to good use(sucks if you're tiered). the Rezound has 16GB built in & comes with a 16GB microSD card. we've heard its expandable to 32GB but thanks to Rezound owners who decided to try... we found it will take a 64GB card.

battery life: what can i say?.. it sucks on both phones(actually, all 4G-LTE phones for that matter. of course we expect 'extended batteries', which usually are nearly double of what the stock battery is. on the Nexus, the extended battery is only 250mAh more then stock. what in the hell is that. jesus christ...

so.... if this Nexus is supposed to be "The ****"... then how come it isnt?

im not just some Samsung hater as ive owned quite a number of Samsung products over the years and like the company. but what the hell is going on here? im extremely disappointed & had hoped/expected that this phone would have been so much more.

obviously, everyone can judge for themselves. i just thought id share my experience.

EDIT: - camera: i forgot to mention this, but yes. the camera on the Rezound was also far superior than the Nexus. Almost like comparing some fancy Nikon to an entry-level Kodak.
