New Motorola Razr review, Technology ,

This evening, I spent ample time with a telecom analyst who was ecstaticabout his newly acquired iconic Motorola Razr that he wanted me to see.Hesimply calls me a phone addict and those close to me know better.The new phonemade 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 inbullet-proof vests strengthened back, stainless steel core and laminatedconstruction frame, Corning Gorilla glass screen as well as a splash-guardcoating to shield against water splashes.Not banking on its looks alone, theRazr has 1GB of RAM, a 1.2GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 processor, Android 2.3.5operating system and 16GB internal storage which is expandable via a Micro SDHCcard slot.The new Razr has a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera and an8-megapixel main camera with 1080p HD video capture capability.

While admiring the new phone,I realized that the smartphone features theMotoCast app that allows users to stream or download content from a PC straightto the device.In addition to that, the preloaded Smart Actions feature enablesusers to automate everyday tasks easily and enable better battery life. One ofthe striking feature that won my heart while I was testing the phone, was theability 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 thatwill turn the Razr into more than a mere smartphone like transforming it into amobile cloud computing device, a HD media hub, a navigation device or even astereo system is a noble idea that will capture the imagination of both teens andmid class consumers.With the Motorola Lapdock 500 Pro, users will get theability to edit documents and browse the Web with a full Firefox browser allwhile charging the smartphone. The owner told me that last night Razr HD Dockor HD Station connected well to his HDTV, speakers and other peripherals for large-screenentertainment and also the navigation dock turns the Razr into a full-fledged GPS.Ithink it’s time for me to get this new phone.
