Where to begin...well for starters the glass smears way easier than my Bionic. Moto used brand Corning Gorilla Glass, while the Rezound has a substitute. I am constantly having to wipe off viewable fingerprints, whereas with my Bionic I don't think it was ever a issue. I wash my hands frequently for my job, but because I have to keep the brightness settings so low for the most part for battery, you can almost always see fingerprints here or there. Sure you can turn the brightness up to cover the smudges a bit more (thus decreasing battery life tremendously) and MAKE IT EASIER to see in the sun, but it still isn't easy, even at 100%. With my Bionic, it was nothing. No matter what settings, I could always see it perfectly. On that note, I always had brightness turned up 100% and I NEVER had slight battery issues. Here, I have the extended MUGEN battery (not vz own), I keep the screen at 25% and my battery life SUCKS. Easily my biggest complaint with the phone at this point.There also is a slight edge radius issue. Noticeable mostly with Swype, and while both are 4.3 in. screens, for some reason the edge radius for your finger just isn't as long as the Bionic. It's maybe half of half a millimeter smaller, but it makes all the difference. Your finger, especially someone like me with big hands, will occasionally slide off, resetting the slide so it was more like a swype to the left or right. With Swype if you go from say A to P it'll catch and you'll lose the line, causing a random word to appear. Very frustrating when just trying to send a quick text. And FINALLY, another issue only noticeable in Kindle, but the red buttons have a bleed over effect in the dark. With the black background and the lights off, you can clearly see 4 white glows coming up into the screen, as opposed to my Bionic which was perfectly black. And just to re-empahsize, the battery life tradeoff for the oh so slight increase in visual quality is not worth it IMO.
So like I said, overall it's certainly not BAD, but I really loved my Bionics screen. I'm outdoors so much it was a MAJOR advantage that I def took for granted. And also, I have pretty damn good vision, and honestly the whole 342 ppi 720xwhatever resolution means nothing to me. When it comes to clarity, I thought both screens looked fantastic and that's all I care about, I've never been one to be nit picky over trivial matters (especially if battery life factors in). If one's stat numbers are one step higher than the others, I think I'll be ok.
