While it may have a hefty build, the HTC Rezound's beautiful display, commendable performance, and multimedia-rich features make it a top phone for Verizon customers.

I started my career with CNET all the way back in 2005, when the (original) Motorola Razrs were all the rage. Since then, I've written about everything from consumer electronics to internet culture for outlets like CNET, Engadget and Yahoo. Outside of work, I'm a big fan of baseball, board games, tabletop RPGs and improv comedy.
The HTC Rezound fits nicely in the hand, but it does have a rather thick build. It has a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, support for Verizon's 4G/LTE network, and the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS with the HTC Sense 3.5 interface, and it is the first U.S.-bound smartphone with integrated Beats Audio technology.

It's got the Beats
The HTC Rezound ships with a pair of Beats Audio earbuds. They work in concert with the phone's Beats Audio software. When they are plugged in, simply launch the music player, and you will be able to toggle the Beats Audio algorithm on or off. When enabled, Beats Audio boosts the audio so that it is louder and fuller, with a deeper bass.

4.3 inches worth of HD
The HTC Rezound has a stunning 4.3-inch Super LCD display with 720p HD resolution. It feels all right in the hand because of the soft-touch sides and tapered edges.

MHL port
The HTC Rezound's Micro-USB/MHL port means it can be hooked up to an HDMI adapter so you can watch your phone's videos on the big screen.
