Okay so we have all heard about it by now the Motorola Droid Razr. Despite sharing its name with the popular last generation Razr it is very different.Besides being a touch screen vs flip phone,
Although one big thing these phones do share is their slimness. The new Razr is the slimmest 4.3 touch screen available 4G LTE phone. Try this .28 inches thick. That is crazy.
Motorla says it has a special designed front so that it is harder to break, and the back is almost carbon fiber like. The material is called Kevlar which is super durable and used in bullet proof vests. I would advise not to test it out and shoot at it.
The screen is 540x960.
One of the best features of this phone is Smart Actions which are basically quick short cuts for your phone. For example, if you plug in your headphones, the moment you do it your phones music player or pandora will load up and start playing. Verizon and Motorola claim that it helps out with battery life as well.
It does feature an HDMI out to hook it up to a TV or Computer.
In more news Android Ice Cream Sandwich is coming soon.
The biggest problem is the battery. Which smart phones are not hidden from. According to tests you would have to charge it around twice a day depending on usage. Also you cannot take the battery out. This means, well I dont know what it means? What happens when the battery dies?
I am a fan of Droid phones no question, but I hope this phone is better than my Droid 2 Global. Dont get me wrong the Droid 2 Global is a good phone, but for me it has had too many problems. And when I went into a Verizon store the employee told me that it is their most trouble shooted Android phone. That is a bummer considering Verizon doesnt want to admit it.
What is wrong with the Droid 2. The phone has some freezing problems, phones calls dont always go through, the speaker will some times stop working, battery really sucks, I charge the phone at night then have to charge it again when I wake up and it still turns red before I get home. Now my Navigation almost no longer works, first it flipped the maps upside down, then when it fixed it, the voice on the Navigation no longer says anything which is annoying when I use it while driving. I cant tell you how many times I have missed a turn because of it losing its voice. The other problem not related to technology is the weight, it is way heavier than any other Droid. That is the price I pay for wanting a keyboard that doesnt really matter anymore.
Well besides those problems the phone is good, and some of the problems except the navigation volume have gone away.
The Droid Razr starts at $300
