Motorola RAZR hands-on: First look

25 October 2011
The RAZR name is back. This time around the Motorola RAZR doesn't come in the clamshell form factor, but it sure has all the charisma and power to become as huge a success as its predecessor. With its impressive 4.3" Super AMOLED Advanced screen and super slim waistline...

Can you please list the difference in hardware between SGS2 and RAZR like sensors, NFC etc. There is many spec lists on the net but none of them confirmed. I'm one of the many people who can not decide between them... Please help as I have already sold my beloved Htc Desire.. :)

    Samsung fanboys: STFU. Does your SG2 have laptop dock?? media dock??? NOOO, so go somewhere and cry.
    This device is proof that mobile phone does not have to look like iPhone (SG, SG2, LG optimus, they are ugly) to be No.1. Look at the design, look at the materials (sam, LG-cheap made in china plastic), look at the beauty of user interface..... look at the 7.1mm

    MOTO YOU ARE THE BEST!

          ROFL another ginormous phone, this one is even bigger than the already too large Galaxy S II... Android just cannot compete with iPhone so the vendors release massive phones to try and distinguish their products... quite pathetic really.

            very impressive hardware. but most likely again, their customization software will be the weakest link. slow update, buggy and eat a lot of resources.... remains to be seen whether Google takeover will bring improvement in their software.

                    no matter, 26 Oct 2011Another too damn BIG device. Giant mania continues. But th... moreMaybe the screen size depends on how people use their phones nowadays. Before a phone used to be only a phone, then it started becoming a music device and, then they put in cameras, then they put in 3G and fast internet capabilities with news and weather, then came the appstores and social application, then came powerful processors, with advanced gaming, media viewing and graphics. Today the phones is not a phone, it's a swiss army knife of handheld technology.

                    With the advances in technology today it would be quite silly and waste of powerful innovation to put all that in a small phone with a small screen.

                      yet another iphone/SG2 wanna be with better design. possibly new champ in Android world

                      only thing bugs me is the screen resolution(qHD). Not many apps and images aren't available for 960x540(i realised it after i actually used one of those).

                                  Hi GSM arena, two questions how does this new Super AMOLED advanced screen stack up to Super AMOLED plus screen.
                                  How much you are missing the three axis gyroscope in RAZR?

                                    Beatiful device, but really android fanboys are disgusting and android itself sucks...


                                    "About 30 seconds into the video one of the coolest home-baked additions to the Motorola RAZR interface appears. Functionality similar to that of the Smart actions has been available through various third-party apps for some time now but Motorola is the first to actually bake it in the UI.
                                    This is basically a clever way to manage your phone based on its location, battery status, the time of the day and whatnot. For example you can make your phone go to vibrate automatically whenever you are at home and it's past 11 PM. Or activate its Wi-Fi whenever you enter your office.
                                    There are many presets available, but creating actions of your own isn't hard at all. Multiple triggers can be added and all must be in effect for smart action to execute." - just a cheap copy of nokia situations, from a long time ago


                                    at least i should say that this device seens to be well made with good materials i like that

                                      Eventually, this razr phone can beat a SGS2..
                                      With their slimness, large dpi screen, same processor as SGS2, with android ICS..
