Motorola RAZR i Review

(XT890) Score: 58.1 / 100

Motorola RAZR i is a bit outdated cellphone released in 2012, which counts with a very powerful 2000 MHz processing unit, a medium sized 4.3-inches touch-screen, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front facing camera.

Motorola decided to power this cellphone using a high-tech processing unit speeding at 2 GHz, packed into the Intel Atom Z2460 chip with only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a bit poor for a device of this level.

Talking about its materials quality, this phone is majorly built with Kevlar, which gives a high quality finish and a better resistance. Motorola sells this cellphone in 2 different color options, black and white. This cellphone is extremely thin and practical, being just 0.33" thick. This phone is quite a compact cellphone, given that it has a 4.3 inches display and it's only 4.82" long. It seems like Motorola decided not to care so much about the weight in this 4.44 oz device.

This cellphone features two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera. This device can also capture 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second. In addition, the camera features a couple of useful characteristics: auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, HDR mode and geo tagging.

Motorola equipped the Motorola RAZR i with a very good 4.3 inches screen, and a resolution of 960 x 540 , giving this cellphone a good level graphic quality. Its screen uses Super AMOLED Advanced capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This cellphone has WiFi connectivity (which it can provide to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ data connection, that is not so fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and 3G fast data connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Micro SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

The Motorola RAZR i also features some interesting characteristics as NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your phone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (2.1, EDR) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone counts with a medium capacity 2000 mAh Li-Ion non-replaceable battery providing this cellphone with a quite short battery duration. An important issue to evaluate is that this cellphone's battery isn't replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to live shorter, making it necessary to replace the whole device.

The Motorola RAZR i costs 559 dollars, which is high for a phone this level. No matter whether you will use this cellphone mainly for social networks and internet browsing or want a gaming phone, this phone is probably a great choice for you.
