Droid Razr offers some powerful hardware for an Android smartphone, but the
ultra-thin device faces some significant competition this holiday season.
It features
Android 2.3.5 (the latest update to the Gingerbread build), paired with a
1.2GHz processor and 1GB of LP DDR2 RAM. The smartphonewhich is also speedy,
thanks to support for Verizon Wireless 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network, and
ultra-thin at 0.28 inchesis a formidable participant in the mobile
arena.
That slimness
is a clear selling point. According to teardown service iFixit , the Droid Razr is clearly thinner than
the iPhone 4S but sports a much larger footprint that may make operating the
phone difficult for smaller hands. That larger footprint was a side effect of
Motorola needing to squeeze the smartphones hardware into the thinner
form-factor.
At $299.99,
the Droid Razr qualifies as a pricey device, especially in comparison with the
iPhone
