The HTC Rezound is now available on Verizon Wireless. The big draw of the Rezound is its heavy Beats by Dr. Dre integration and its 4G LTE connectivity. We got a chance to check out the device when HTC unveiled it on Nov. 3 and found it to be another strong entry into Verizon’s library of LTE phones. It’s the third of four known dual-core 4G LTE devices coming to the carrier this year. The Droid Bionic and Droid Razr are already out and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is coming in the next couple weeks, from what we hear. 

We’ve included some links to our hands-on impressions and videos of the device in action below, but here are some specs. The handset has a 4.3-inch screen with a 720p display, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP rear camera that can shoot slow motion (HTC has industry leading cameras), and cost $300 with a two-year contract. The Rezound will ship with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), but HTC has promised an Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) upgrade in the coming months. 

Our impressions on the Rezound (so far):

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?

The 5 best phones with IR blasters in 2024
The OnePlus 12's camera module.

IR blasters used to be a common component in smartphones, with big products from Samsung, OnePlus, and TCL giving users access to the cool gadget. Phones equipped with IR blasters could be used as a universal remote for your other electronics, making it easy to control your gear without the need for their default controller (which might be clunky and unintuitive to use).

Fast forward today, and attempting to find a smartphone with an IR blaster is shockingly difficult. What was once common technology is now relegated to just a handful of smartphones. You won't find any iPhones or Galaxy phones with IR blasters, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for a poorly reviewed smartphone if you're interested in the tech. You will, however, probably need to settle for either OnePlus or Xiaomi, as they're the two key players still churning out powerful smartphones equipped with IR blasters.

Why you should buy the iPhone 15 Pro instead of the iPhone 15 Pro Max
Natural Titanium iPhone 15 Pro with Chopper and BD-1 droids around it.

Apple releases multiple iPhones every year, offering folks choice in terms of size and features. In 2024, the iPhone 15 lineup includes four distinct models.

The regular iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are great for those who don’t need a telephoto lens and don’t care about the Action button or the 1TB of storage. But anyone who wants a more “pro” experience has the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
