Motorola Droid RAZR Review

(XT912) Score: 64.3 / 100

Motorola Droid RAZR is an impressive Android device launched many years ago, featuring a high performance Dual-Core processor clocking at 1.2 GHz, a medium sized 4.3-inches multi-touch capacitive screen, and two cameras, an 8 MP back camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front facing camera. That's everything we have to say? Not at all, it's only the shortest summary in the world.

Motorola ships the Motorola Droid RAZR with a high performance 1200 MHz Dual-Core processing unit, included in a TI OMAP4430 system chip and only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little bit disappointing for a cellphone this good. To handle graphic calculations, it also uses a PowerVR SGX540 GPU clocking at 304 megahertz. A good point of the Motorola Droid RAZR is its 16 GB quite big internal storage memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, which allows you to store hundreds of applications without any trouble.

This device is just 0.28" thick, taking it to the thinnest phone's category. This cellphone is much lighter than what one would think about a device like this. Motorola made the Motorola Droid RAZR in three color options: black, blue and white. Regarding its body materials, the Motorola Droid RAZR is built with Kevlar, which gives a quality design and improved resistance.

This cellphone is equipped with a nice 4.3-inches screen with a 960 x 540 resolution, providing this device with a detailed graphical experience. Its screen uses Super AMOLED Advanced capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

The Motorola Droid RAZR offers wi-fi connectivity (and it can be provided to other devices acting as a modem or router), 4G (LTE) high speed data connection and fast 3G connectivity, over HSPA, UMTS, EV-DO A and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a Micro SIM card for GSM carriers and it can connect to both CDMA and GSM.

The Motorola Droid RAZR is equipped with two cameras, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It also captures videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps, and slow motion videos in (720x480) up to 120 frames per second (4 times slower ). In addition, this phone's camera also counts with a couple of useful features: auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization and fast burst mode.

This device packs a mid capacity 1780 mAh Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery that provides this phone a poor battery lifecompared to other cellphones. Motorola informs a 12.5 hs talk time and a 204 hs stand by time for this cellphone. A key issue to take into account is that the Motorola Droid RAZR's battery is non-replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to get older, having to replace the whole cellphone.

This cellphone also includes a handful of interesting features as Bluetooth (allows communication with other bluetooth phones and accessories) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Motorola Droid RAZR may not be so convinient considering it is priced 169 dollars, while other similar cellphones are sold for a bit less than that. This phone is probably a great choice for you no matter if you will use it majorly for internet broswing and social networks, are looking for a cellphone to play tons of games, you love taking pictures or want a cellphone for work.
