New Motorola Razr review

 

 

This evening, I spent ample time with a telecom analyst who was ecstatic about his newly acquired iconic Motorola Razr that he wanted me to see.He simply calls me a phone addict and those close to me know better.The new phone made a market comeback recently although this time with an Android flavour. Staying true to its past designs, the new model comes encased in a "razor-sharp" housing that measures a mere 7.1mm thin. It is also lightweight, tipping the scales at about 127g.The smartphone has a sculpted glass face, aluminium accents and a 4.3in Super AMOLED Advanced display.

The Camera is superb.

Most notably,the new Razr features a Kevlar fibre which is the same used in bullet-proof vests strengthened back, stainless steel core and laminated construction frame, Corning Gorilla glass screen as well as a splash-guard coating to shield against water splashes.Not banking on its looks alone, the Razr has 1GB of RAM, a 1.2GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 processor, Android 2.3.5 operating system and 16GB internal storage which is expandable via a Micro SDHC card slot.The new Razr has a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera and an 8-megapixel main camera with 1080p HD video capture capability.

The new Razr is thin

While admiring the new phone,I realized that the smartphone features the MotoCast app that allows users to stream or download content from a PC straight to the device.In addition to that, the preloaded Smart Actions feature enables users to automate everyday tasks easily and enable better battery life. One of the striking feature that won my heart while I was testing the phone, was the ability where one can turn down the ringer volume when you step into work, change the Bluetooth and GPS settings when you are at home to save on battery, or send a text to someone if you miss his or her call.

I do think that Motorola plans to launch a slew of optional accessories that will turn the Razr into more than a mere smartphone like transforming it into a mobile cloud computing device, a HD media hub, a navigation device or even a stereo system is a noble idea that will capture the imagination of both teens and mid class consumers.With the Motorola Lapdock 500 Pro, users will get the ability to edit documents and browse the Web with a full Firefox browser all while charging the smartphone. The owner told me that last night Razr HD Dock or HD Station connected well to his HDTV, speakers and other peripherals for large-screen entertainment and also the navigation dock turns the Razr into a full-fledged GPS.I think it's time for me to get this new phone.
