Motorola DROID RAZR HD Review

(XT926) Score: 64.6 / 100

Motorola DROID RAZR HD is a fascinating phone released in 2012, with a medium sized 4.7" touch-screen, a high speed Dual-Core processor ticking at 1.5 gigahertz, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 1.3 MP front facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this device's advantages when we get into more details.

Being just 0.33 inches thick,this phone is incredibly slim and comfortable. Even though this cellphone is just 5.19" long and 2.67" wide, it is able to fit a a 4.7 inches display. Motorola made the Motorola DROID RAZR HDavailable only in two different colors: black and white. This phone is a bit heavy for a cellphone this size, with a weight of 5.15 oz.

This device is equipped with a great 4.7-inches display with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes everything look absolutely great. This display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

Motorola equipped this phone with a high performance 1.5 gigahertz Dual-Core processing unit, included in a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 chip with only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a bit poor for a device this good. Graphic calculations usually eats a lot of processing time, so it has an Adreno 225 GPU ticking at 400 megahertz to take care of them, leaving the CPU free for other tasks. The Motorola DROID RAZR HD comes with a good 16 GB internal memory and a slot for SD memory cards, enough to install a couple hundred games and applications without any problem.

The Motorola DROID RAZR HD features two cameras, an 8 MP back camera and a 1.3 megapixels front-facing camera. It also captures videos in Full HD 1920x1080. Additionally, the camera counts with flash and auto-focus.

This device has wifi connection (and it can provide it to other devices around, acting as a modem or router), LTE (4G) high performance connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, that is a slower 4G technology and fast 3G internet connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS, EV-DO A and EDGE technologies. The Motorola DROID RAZR HD uses a SIM card to use GSM services and it can connect using both CDMA and GSM carriers.

This cellphone also comes with a couple of nice characteristics such as Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone uses a huge 2530 mAh Li-Ion non-removable battery that can keep it running for many hours without charging it at all. According to Motorola, the Motorola DROID RAZR HD has an estimated 286 hs stand by time and a 16 hs talk time. An issue to take into account is that this phone's battery is non-removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to last shorter, though with this big battery you will probably replace this cellphone before it becomes an issue.

This cellphone is really overpriced considering it costs $ 300, while many similar cellphones cost much less than that. No matter if you will use it for gaming, are looking for a device mostly for internet broswing and social networks, will use this device for work or are a photography fan, this cellphone is probably the right choice .
