Pros

Strong dual-core performance; Fast 4G LTE Speeds; Affordable
Sharp and colorful qHD display, solid reception, great LTE speeds.
Gorgeous, high-resolution screen, Very fast LTE data speeds, Robust contact management.
The HTC Vivid has a nice, large screen, an excellent camera, and great specs all around. It supports 4G LTE as well.

Cons

Relatively heavy; Mediocre camera; Short battery Life
Aesthetics not up to HTC standards. Small battery.
Heavy, A little sluggish, Ineffective voice dialing, Spotty AT&T LTE coverage (for now).
Subpar calling quality, Weak battery life, No stand out feature, except LTE, Poor video recording quality
Mediocre call quality on the Vivid and a cheap plastic chassis dampen the experience. The battery obstructs access to the microSD card.

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...

Back in April when we caught the first look of the HTC Sensation 4G, we were thrilled by its design and complete feature set. It was obvious that HTC had put a massive effort into developing it. It is December 2011 now and we’re talking HTC Vivid....

The HTC Vivid is in every way a high end phone with a solid dual core CPU, qHD display that we really like, a good 8 megapixel camera and true LTE 4G. The market is absolutely flooded with top tier Android smartphones, and the Vivid does little to...

The HTC Vivid is a respectable phone for AT&T to bring to market as one of its first two LTE handsets. The hardware looks and feels great, though it's a bit thick and weighty. Those are caveats that any current 4G LTE device comes with, however. It...

Crunching down the numbers, pricing is one of those driving factors that always has some weight to the overall allure of a particular handset. Obviously, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket is priced $50 more than the HTC Vivid, but it’s absolutely...

If you sign up to a two year contract with the $100 online discount then you can get your hands on the HTC Vivid for $99.99. That’s pretty competitive, but it needs to be because the Vivid isn’t as pretty or enticing as some of your other...
