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.

Why you need to be excited about the Google Pixel 8a

This is going to be a busy year for Google Pixel devices. In less than a month, Google is expected to launch its first new Pixel of the year with the Google Pixel 8a. Following that, we're expecting a Google Pixel Fold 2, possibly another Pixel Tablet, the Pixel 9 series, and a Pixel Watch 3 later in the fall.

There's plenty to look forward to with all of those Pixels, but if you ask me, I think the Pixel 8a is the most promising of the bunch. In a year when Google has exciting upgrades planned for its flagship and foldable phones, Google's budget-focused omodel is what's really on my mind.

Amazon Fire HD 10 and Fire Max 11 prices slashed… for now

If you're looking for affordable tablet deals, it's highly recommended that you check out Amazon's Fire tablets. The latest releases of the brand's largest models are still relatively cheap, and limited-time discounts have further lowered their prices on Amazon right now. The 32GB version of the Amazon Fire HD 10 is down to $95 from $140 for savings of $45, and the 64GB version of the Amazon Fire Max 11 is down to $180 from $230 for savings of $50. You're going to have to be fast with your purchase once you've chosen which one to buy though, because these tablets may be back to their regular prices as soon as tomorrow.

The 2023 release of the Amazon Fire HD 10 retains the tablet's budget-friendly price despite several improvements compared to its predecessor, including 25% faster performance, slightly less weight by 30 grams, and an upgraded front-facing camera from 2MP to 5MP for clearer selfies and video calls. The Amazon Fire HD 10 features a 10.1-inch Full HD touchscreen that's durable enough to withstand daily wear and tear, compatibility with Amazon's Alexa for voice commands, and decent performance for your daily tasks with its octa-core processor and 3GB of RAM. The tablet comes with 32GB of internal storage, but if you need additional space for your apps and files, you can get up to 1TB more through its microSD card slot.

The camera on this Android phone is confusing, but I love it

The back of the Tecno Camon 30 Premier.

I’m all for a lot of detail, and love to hear about the new technology that’s inside a smartphone I’m about to test, but when I have to search for an explanation of what something means, it’s not a good start. The Tecno Camon 30 Premier suffers from this problem, as it has a lot of cool camera tech that is explained in a mystifying way.

So, I thought the best thing to do was to just ignore the tech speak and find out if it takes great photos the old-fashioned way.
What's the problem?
