The scintillating success of
Apple and Samsung gadgets are no secret to the world of technology. Motorola
with its unique design and powerful models have always had a distinct success. The
American brand has a knack of producing surprisingly lovable mobile phones every
now and then.
The Motorola Droid Razr HD
falls under this category. Here is a review on the powerful Motorola Razr HD.
The
Specifications
Priced at $199.99 The Droid HD carries
all the great specifications of the original Droid Razr with more polished and
uplift features. Powered by a 1.5 GHz dual core processor with the latest Snapdragon
S4 CPU, with a RAM capacity of 1GB, the new Motorola redefines power. As you
would expect, the power is complemented by is huge 4.7-inch AMOLED display with
a resolution of 720p.
Critics have already claimed
that the new model is the best in the series of Razr mobile phones yet. The width
of the mobile is an inch thicker than the older model while the new model also
boasts HD capability. The Motorola’s Android 4.0 operating system, enhanced
user interface in addition to Verizon 4G LTE data clearly makes it one of the
hottest gadgets for the season.
Of course, the Droid Razr has
to face rivals like the Apple iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3 and the one in its
own family – the Droid Razr Maxx HD. On the negative side, the machine’s camera
lacks the quality of the killer shooting skills of some of the other devices in
the segment.
Design
Motorola Droid Razr measures 5.2
inches in length, 2.74 inches in breadth and is 0.33 inches thick. The large
make of the mobile phone does not actually mean that it isn’t pocket-friendly
as it weighs just 5.1-ounce. A silver strip circling around the edges of the
phone lends the device a touch of class and luxury.
There is a single physical
button for volume adjustments and power key stitched on the right side of the
phone. However a dedicated shutter button to access the camera quickly is
missing on the outer cover of the phone. The LTE SIM card slot, slot for
microSD, USB slot and a micro port for HDMI are all flooded on the left of the
phone.
There is a 3.5mm jack on the
top of the phone. The rear camera with 1.3 MP capacity is to complement the
mail camera that is capable of taking 8-mega pixel photos.
Display
One of the superior features of
the phone is its expansive 1,280x720-pixel display which is 4.7-inch big. With
its HD resolution of 960 x 540, it is much sharper than most smartphones
around. The Droid makes use of virtual keyboard with well-spaced keys for quick
and accurate message typing. Switch to Swype keyboard and that makes it
more friendly for one-hand use.
Software
and user-interface
The Razr HD runs on the ICS or
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich that gives a modern look along with many
enhancements when compared to the Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It is also reported
that in future the device will be updated with Jelly Bean.
The phone offers two home
screens but you can customize it to be seven with a variety of applications and
widget shortcuts. The Quick Setting screen gives you quick access to Bluetooth,
Airplane mode, GPS, Wi-Fi and many other setting options.
To sum up, the Motorola Droid
Razr HD is a worthy upgrade but one would love to consider other smartphones as
well. If the stylish design with premium metallic outlook impresses you, then
have a go. But think twice if you are a frequent shooter.
