Motorola Droid Razr is a strong Android contender, but bad screen and shorter battery life were the “issues”
Motorola Droid Razr is Verizon’s favorite Android smartphone according to a report posted last week quoting a Verizon spokesman who confirmed that the wireless carrier’s November ad blitz is for the new Motorola smartphone.
Apparently, Motorola is facing two Android rivals this month, the HTC Rezound and the long-rumored Samsung Galaxy Nexus which carries the latest version of Google Android operating system, plus, Apple’s new dual-core smartphone, the iPhone 4S.
Multiple reviews say the new Droid Razr is one of the best Android smartphones available in the market now, but there’s a catch — and surprisingly, issues mentioned by the reviews are the compelling features offered by its rivals.
One of the best reviews on the internet right now is from the Verge courtesy of Nilay Patel. Mr. Patel is claiming that the new Droid Razr is Motorola’s best phone, adding that the phone is “really thin” and the battery life is However, he’s not liking the idea of sacrificing the display quality just to make the phone thinner. The Verge’s review gave the Droid Razr a “no buy.”
But unlike the Verge, Boy Genius Report is liking the screen of the new Droid Razr. According to Jonathan S. Geller, the Droid Razr is the “most exciting Android device” for him, adding that the battery life is impressive and the phone is well made thanks to the phone’s Kevlar back coating and thin profile. The site said the new Motorola LTE smartphone is “worthy of being the new Motorola RAZR.”
Meanwhile, PC World is screaming that the Droid Razr’s battery life is “bad” adding that it is a disappointment. According to the website, the Droid Razr did poorly in multiple battery life tests that they have conducted, and mentioned the Galaxy S II as the only Android device with the impressive battery life. It is worth noting though that PC World is the only website saying that the Droid Razr’s battery life is ugly.
In fact, other major tech sites agree that the Droid Razr packs a good, decent or OK battery life. CNET said the battery life of the Droid Razr is “decent,” while the PC Magazine said the new Moto phone has a better battery life compared to the older Droid Bionic and the inclusion of the new “Motorola’s Smart Actions” app will help extend the new Razr’s battery life.
Majority of the reviews say the new Motorola Droid Razr is a worthy rival of Apple’s new iPhone 4S or Samsung’s exciting new Nexus phone, the Galaxy Nexus. However, almost all reviews say the phone is too big, and Motorola’s next phone should include a better screen (with better screen resolution).
