Let us introduce you to the elder, sharper brother of the original Motorola RAZR; The Motorola RAZR HD. Just like all the brothers, both the devices has a lot in common, the differences on the other hand are also worth mentioning. All the complaints with RAZR are rectified when manufacturing RAZR HD. Let’s get on with the review and see whether the phone is worth a purchase or not
When buying a Motorola, one aspect that should never be doubted is the design and built quality of the device. The original RAZR was a back breaker for all the phones and was amongst the slimmest phones available in the market. This is a bit thinker but keeping in mind that it has a larger battery, we don’t mind an extra 1.3mm if the device lasts comparatively longer. Now coming to the design; people complained that Motorola RAZR has a 4.3 inches screen, but is reasonably bigger than other competitors offering the same screen size. This was kept in mind and with just an extra millimeter of height, Motorola has managed to place a 4.7 inches screen. Hence the bezel is reduced. The touch capacitive buttons are also deserted and the buttons are a part of the screen itself. Hence a major part of bezel reduced. The design is almost the same, pointed corners and more of a rectangular device. The back of both the devices is different. The material used, which is Kevlar, is the same but the design is different because RAZR has a big bump where the camera is placed. RAZR HD on the other hand has a uniform back hence the weight is divided and feels better when in hand.
RAZR HD features a stunning 4.7 inches High definition screen which has a resolution of 720*1280 pixels and a pixel density of 312 pixels per inch. The display is a multi-touch unit hence it can take inputs from more than 1 finger at a time. The screen is covered by Corning Gorilla Glass display so that screen is protected from all kinds of scratches and damages. The screen is a Super AMOLED display hence the color output is mind blowing and the capacitive technology makes it response before you blink your eye.
Under the hood we have a dual core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz. This when couples up with 1 GB ram ensures that all the operations are smooth and the device does not lag.
Well frankly it is not one of the water proof devices but then again, something is better than nothing. RAZR HD can take a minor spill and will survive. But remember, a minor spill.
Motorola RAZR HD is a complete package for people who want maximum connectivity options. The Device features all the connectivity options be it 4G LTE or NFC. Nothing is missing when it comes to connectivity. Enjoy blazing fast file sharing and download songs at the highest speed.
RAZR HD has all the capabilities to keep you entertained all day long. Watch movies on the gorgeous 4.7 inches Super AMOLED display without the nightmare to run out of juice, thanks to the 2500 mAh battery. The same goes for storage: RAZR HD comes with 16 GB internal memory which can be extended by a micro SD card up to 32 GB. This means that we can have a storage capacity of to 44 GB which is more than enough for all the media related requirements of the user.
Never miss an important moment with your RAZR HD. Motorola RAZR HD features an 8 MP, auto focus image sensor that comes with LED flash and is capable of recording 1080p videos at 30 frames per second. Any moment, be it in a bright daylight or a low lighted room, your device will capture it all.
