HTC Vivid Reviews
HTC Vivid Review at PocketNow
While the HTC Vivid is a decent performer on all fronts and has 4G capabilities (where available), the price for said performance just isn’t on par with other devices on the market today. That said, some do like a little heft to their devices, and others aren’t as particular as I can be in regards to form and in-hand feel. The qHD screen is nice and easy to read, and when the 4G service works (while the battery will suffer), the speeds are blazing. Alas, it still feels like a slightly above average device, and for that, we give a slightly above average score. Read more...
HTC Vivid Review at BGR
The HTC Vivid is a remarkable, modern smartphone with performance that matches or bests any Android phone I’ve used. It’s fast, it’s smooth, it’s capable and HTC’s Sense UI wraps it all in a gorgeous package. Battery life is a sore spot but smartphones across several platforms seem to be headed south in that area. Users who take particular care may be able to get from one day to the next on a single charge, but I wasn’t able to with regular usage. Read more...

The real bang for your buck in this device is that you’re getting an 8-megapixel camera with HTC’s camera software that has many different filters, scenes, and an ultra-quick tap-to-shoot speed, LTE connectivity (if you live in one of the few places in the USA where this network is deployed), and the unique physical form of the handset. This device is made to push AT&T’s new LTE network and is HTC’s first stab at AT&T’s new network, and like their first attempt at an LTE device for Verizon, they’ve created a smartphone that’s certainly up to the task of downloading media quick (again, if you’re in one of AT&T’s already deployed LTE areas), and working nicely with a dual-core processor.

With its large high resolution display, beefy processor, and LTE data speeds, the HTC Vivid is an excellent multimedia machine. But keep an eye on that battery; you might not finish a whole movie over 4G before you have to plug it in again. Read more...
HTC Vivid Review at AndroidCentral
It's not the phone for everyone, but the HTC Vivid is a solid offering with the speed to make many users very happy. AT&T's use of LTE and HSPA is an excellent way to manage the handoff from high-speeds to not so high speeds, and HTC Sense offers more than the standard build of Android would. Read more...
