amazon Motorola RAZR reviews

Organoleptic

RAZR smartphone segment is located on the luxurious, on par with the Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC Sensation and the other dual-core Android smartphone. And to say that the first sight RAZR also proven that it is a very worthy one superior product. Sleek touch screen, the metal frame, wicker dorsal durable Kevlar, a few metal accents on the details so as speaker, power button … It all makes RARZ exudes 1 looks sturdy, luxurious and powerful.

RAZR’s thinness only 7.1 mm makes it the thinnest Android smartphone world, and admittedly slim design always leave a very strong impression for the first time in contact with the machine. The body shell is made from premium materials makes the RAZR gripping feeling very solid despite modest thickness. If compared with the first product “supermodel” is that the Samsung Galaxy S II, clear RAZR quality better, and certainly not be cheap as creaking or shell design plastic of the Galaxy S II. This is one thing that the Korean manufacturer will definitely need to learn more from the North American colleagues.

However the good impression of sleek appearance of the machine immediately melts away when I first picked it up. If you ever feel uncomfortable when holding the Galaxy S II for machine too thin and slightly square corners ripple human hands, then to 3.4 times that feeling and you will imagine the discomfort when holding the RAZR on hand.

Although only 4.3 inch screen has the frame rate quite slim 16: 9 like the Sensation, but the RAZR border around the screen is quite thick making machine width of 4.3 inches larger than other smartphones, more on that hand completely flat backs and square edges.

Even by the machine so thin that when manipulated by one hand machines are always fear of dislodging the machine. Fortunately, the back surface of the RAZR Kevlar feels soft and rubbery hand grip should also greatly assist the user in manipulating the machine by one hand. Besides the power button and volume up & down keys are arranged narrow, short and put all on one side of the unit is also difficult to manipulate. Add to that the machine uses Micro-SIM can also cause a lot of embarrassment.

In summary, the RAZR is beautiful and one smartphone to, very fit men. However, to get acquainted with the strange feeling of RAZR hands you will need a lot of time. After all, everything has its price, and this time the RAZR users must accept tradeoffs feeling took hold of the thinness “champion” and one design strange.

Screen

Using the AMOLED display technology with qHD resolution, but the RAZR screen again causing me quite a lot of frustration. Although the color and brightness of the display on the RAZR still very vibrant and there is really nothing to complain, but the sharpness of the screen, it really is one problem.

Using PenTile panel, weaknesses pitting eyes screen and jagged shown clearly on the RAZR. Especially when you read the white text on a black background, the phenomenon will reveal jagged cause instant eye feeling. Of course, not always we are staring at the screen only to see the letters have jagged edges or not and this phenomenon does not affect the normal operation of the machine.

Besides the RAZR screen also one point that I feel very pleased that the energy consumption is very low: only about 40% even with the screen brightness set at maximum. This is actually a good thing because the first smartphone display screen of 4.3 inches unusual “bite” to 60-70% of the battery in 50% brightness settings.

OS and interface

Use interface that Motorola running Android on its products was named Blur. And just like the tradition of the previous version, used on the RAZR Blur also “owns” the traditional weaknesses of line interfaces. In general, the Blur seems very rugged when compared with rivals such as Sense, TouchWiz … The widgets, applications are designed square with sharp edges, very colorful icons and effects 3D moving though silky but usually presented very … complicated. Even you can feel … wait impatiently while the zoom effects when opening the All Apps page displays complete.

I have to admit that one of the details on Blur’s designed RARZ interesting and beautiful, for instance, or the lock screen widget as favorite contact or Social. Besides that one feature of the RAZR is also interesting is Smart Actions allows users to “programming” the behavior of the machine.

Such as ringing off automatically when the user is in certain positions, such as schools, offices (location determined by GPS) or if the machine is not plugged in the night, the unnecessary features night as email Facebook will automatically be disabled to save battery v … v … smart Actions can help a lot smarter RAZR and the “programming” of this behavior is also very simple, just select the required conditions and then the behavior of the machine by dragging and dropping.

Besides these features are well integrated social network very deep on Blur, you can view your friends’ photos on Facebook, Picasa right from the app or chat Skype Gallery of machines without the need to install Skype application.

Generally’s Blur interface RAZR leaving me confused impression, good with bad. You’ll need plenty of time to get acquainted with the Blur, but once used to it, you will feel it is also very helpful. And of course if you do not like Blur, then there are many other launcher awaiting your discovery.

Performance and entertainment

I’m not the one who used to play games on mobile, entertainment forms most often on my smartphone is movies, listen to music and browse the web. And with such demand, the RAZR has shown excellent, largely thanks to the 4.3 inch screen of the machine colors.

Especially the browser bundled with the RAZR very useful addition as text alignment automatically on the screen when the zoom frame to help web reading easier. Page load time and roll on the RAZR is also very fast, and I even feel faster and smoother than other dual-core smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S II. RAZR’s screen size is also ideal for web browsing, faster downloads and web pages displayed full, especially in horizontal screen mode for horizontal resolution of RAZR up to 960px, or both monitors small-sized computer.

RAZR enough “burden” 1080p mkv videos download via torrent rather easily, besides the entertainment with 3D games heavy like Dungeon Hunter, Samurai II is also very comfortable with the smooth and stable frame.

Despite dual core Cortex A9 1.5 GHz-based but uses 1 RAZR GPU PowerVR 540 is out of date (the version used on the Galaxy S Hummingbird but runs at a higher clock speed). PowerVR 540 performance despite strong enough to shoulder all the worst features current game but in the long run RAZR will be “exhausted” before the next game.

But I highly doubt that in the present moment you can “squeeze” the strength of the RAZR with everyday tasks such as web browsing, watching movies, playing games.

Take a photo

Camera is one of the disappointing aspects RAZR. Photos from the RAZR has generally dark tone and color bleak. Internal photos of the RAZR scene especially poor, regular machine vibration and loss of sharpness though I tried my best to hold when shooting machine. Compensated fairly good picture sharpness in bright light and images from the RAZR for decent quality though still very dark colors.

Video filmed from RAZR 1080p high definition, stable frame rate but also the general weakness is dark and pale colors.

Battery life

RAZR back cover is not removable by the user that are not hot-swappable batteries, but batteries fixed machines will also be capable of shouldering one day work with your high intensity. Plus screen also helps save battery RAZR “survive” a long time: up to 17 hours after charging 100% with heavy usage: 3G, Wifi and constantly push mail, Office document reader for half an hour, playing Angry Bird for half an hour, watching one movie via DNLA 110 minutes long and 20 minutes listening to calls, message 6 SMS.
