Verizon Wireless shows off Motorola’s new Droid RAZR
Verizon Wireless today unveiled the new Motorola RAZR which combines the power of Android’s latest operating system with one of the best selling names in U.S. wireless history.
The Droid RAZR is one the thinnest smartphones in the market (7.1 mm) and it sports a sleek design with a KEVLAR fiber backing, large screen, and Verizon’s high-speed 4G LTE network.
Motorola’s original clamshell RAZR released in 2004 also made headlines for its thin profile. The company sold more than 130 million units during the cellphone’s three-year run.
The Droid RAZR retails for $299.99 with a new activation, standard voice, and data plans.
One of the first things you notice about the Droid RAZR, besides its svelte form, is the large 4.3-inch display. It’s made of Corning’s Gorilla Glass, which is engineered to be thin and durable. The Droid RAZR also has a water-repellent coating.
The Droid RAZR is not small and might be uncomfortable for users with small hands, but it’s thin enough to fit nicely in your pockets. It weighs 4.5 ounces.
It also uses Google’s Gingerbread Android software. Some might want to wait for Verizon to release the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus (rumored to come out this month) with an updated operating system called Ice Cream Sandwich. Droid RAZRs will get the update in 2012.
The Droid RAZR also sports a pretty good 8-megapixel camera that can rotate like an iPhone’s camera. It also shoots 1080p HD video.
Inside, there’s dual-core processor and 1 gigabyte of memory that makes the smartphone speedy when streaming songs and videos.
It also has a combined Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS receiver.
The battery has about 12.5 hours of talk time. It’s built into the phone and is not easily removed, much like the iPhone’s batteries. The Droid RAZR includes an app called Smart Actions that can be activated to dim the screen, turn off GPS services, and suspend email, social networks and other background updates when the battery is running low.
It also has another app called MotoCast which operates similar to Apple’s iCloud, but with some limitations. MotoCast allows users to wirelessly access music, photos, music, and other media; however, the data is housed in the user’s personal computer (not the Cloud) and it must be on and connected to the Internet.
