Motorola Droid RAZR Mobile

Motorola Droid Razr mobile very quickly replaces the Droid Bionic as the powerful smartphone on Verizon wireless and this certainly no flip phone. It is the latest and best Android phone from Motorola. The Razr has returned in the form of the Motorola Droid Razr. This is very thinnest around.

                             

The Droid Razr packs a massive 4.3- inch AMOLED advanced display into a super slim slab of kevlar lined hard plastic. It's very thin, at just 7.1mm, the phone feels solid. It is the thinnest 4G LTE smartphone. Droid Razr is light weight , i.e, 127grams but still feels incredibly sturdy. It feels like an expensive device, which is not always the case,even in the  $200 plus range. The back is lined with kevlar serving used to protect the Razr from the elements and differentiating itself among other phones.

The 8 mega pixel camera on Droid Razr makes it easy to capture the moment. Launch the camera directly from the lock screen,for less time fumbling around and more time taking photos. We can also easily adjust the settings. We can also set the multi-shot mode, for six shots in an instant.

The power button is neatly positioned. So it is very easy to turn on using your thumb. just below the power button volume up and down button is fixed. The width of the Droid Razr can certainly present problems for one-handed use.

                           

On the storage point of view, the Razr ships with a generous 16GB microSD card. There is also an additional 8GB of internal storage. The card is removable, so you could easily double your memory to 32GB for roughly $36.

Processor

Under the hood is a 1.2Ghz dual core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM. There no surprise with the processing power, navigating around the operating system is fluid and applications open almost instantaneously. The super AMOLED qHD display measures in at 4.3 inches at 540*960. Motorola uses a pentile display and there has been some debate as to whether the Droid Razr compares to other super AMOLED screens, as pointed out by Nilay Patel at the Verge.

Internal Battery

To achieve the thin frame, Motorola was forced to internalize the battery, so it's not user replaceable. You won't be able to carry a spare battery in times of need, which certainly could be an issue for power users. A quick look at Battery Use (settings> Battery Use) reveals that the display accounted for 40% of battery use. Lowering your brightness and reducing the number associated with the screen Timeout should help some.

Motorola also has included a utility with the Razr titled "Smart Actions" and it's incredibly useful. You are enable to create custom smart actions that are based upon a set of rules that you determine. One of that is 'Nighttime Battery Saver', which didi the following
  • Disable Background Sync
  • Set GPS to off
  • Ringer Volume Silent
  • Disable Cellular DAta
  • Bluetooth off
  • WiFi off
They have a list of presets that you can use or create your own. Another useful smart action is 'Charging Remainder', which notifies you to plug in your phone if you forget to charge at night. At times managing battery life felt like a job, but atleast smart action automate some of those tasks. The power users or travelers might want to opt for the universal portable charger for the Razr. It can provide upto 8 hours of talk time by utilizing the USB port. By smart actions, you can set it launch an app like Google Music when headphones are inserted. It is one of the excellent feature.
