Motorola RAZR HD Review

(XT925) Score: 64.5 / 100

Motorola RAZR HD is an amazing Android cellphone released back in the year 2012, having a medium 4.7-inches touch-screen, a high speed 1.5 GHz Dual-Core processing unit, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this device's characteristics when we get into more details.

This device has an amazing design, with a thickness of just 0.33 inches. This cellphone is only 5.19" long and 2.67 inches wide, but it's still able to fit a a 4.7" display. The Motorola RAZR HD feels a bit heavy comparing with today standards, with a weight of 5.15 ounces. This cellphone is sold in two different color options, black and white.

Motorola packed the Motorola RAZR HD with a beautiful 4.7 inches screen, and a resolution of 1280 x 720 (HD), giving this phone a very detailed graphic quality. This screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

The Motorola RAZR HD ships with a very fast Dual-Core processor clocking at 1500 MHz, included in a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 chip with only 1 GB of RAM which is a little bit disappointing comparing with the Motorola RAZR HD's powerful processing power. Helping with graphic calculations, it also has an Adreno 225 graphic processing unit running at 400 MHz. A nice advantage of this phone is its quite large 16 GB internal memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, enough to install a couple hundred games and applications without running out of space.

The Motorola RAZR HD features wi-fi connectivity (which can be provided to other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high performance data connection and also HSPA+ connectivity, that is a lower speed 4G type and fast 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS, EV-DO A and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This cellphone features two cameras, an 8 MP back camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front side camera. It is capable of capturing Full HD 1920x1080 videos. This camera also has flash and auto-focus.

This cellphone also includes a couple useful characteristics like NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (4.0, EDR) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This device features a 2530 mAh large Li-Ion non-replaceable battery that provides this phone an extremely long battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that this cellphone's battery is not removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to last shorter, whereas with such a huge battery size you will probably replace this cellphone before that becomes a real problem.

This cellphone costs about 300 dollars, which is a high price for a phone this level. No matter if you you love taking photos, want a social device, are looking for a cellphone for work or are looking for a gamer cellphone, you will definitely love this phone.
