HTC CEO Peter Chou introduces the HTC Rezound with Beats Audio for Verizon Wireless.

The Rezound is a collaboration between HTC and Beats Audio. The smartphone integrates Beats Audio technology and promises deeper bass and crisper vocals. The Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer acquired a majority stake in Beats Electronics back in August.

The smartphone will also come with a custom set of Beats headphones with tangle-free wires and remote control.

The HTC Rezound will be a Verizon exclusive and will go on sale November 14 for $299.99 with a two-year contract.

The HTC Rezound is a high-end device, featuring a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 4G LTE, and the latest version of Sense. The smartphone is expected to get an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in early 2012.

The Rezound is HTC's first smartphone to boast a 720p HD display.

It also has an 8-megapixel camera with f2.2 lens, instant capture, panorama mode, and burst mode.

The phone's camera can shoot and play back 1080p HD video and adds a slow-motion feature.

Like HTC has done with several other Verizon phones, the inside of the Rezound is red.
