Droid RAZR vs. the Competition: Spec Showdown

Motorola hopes to steal the thunder from the multi-million selling iPhone 4S with a parvenu flagship device, the Droid RAZR.

Arriving in November (pre-orders commence October 27), the Droid RAZR will cost $299 with a two-year contract and its claim to fame is that IT's the thinnest smartphone around. With 4G LTE connectivity and a punchy duple-core processor, here's how the Droid RAZR stacks up against Android rivals and, of trend, the iPhone 4S.

The Droid RAZR is no slouch: it runs on a 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM, the aforesaid as the Samsung Galaxy S Cardinal variants for both AT&T and Sprint (the T-Mobile model has a 1.5 dual-kernel chip), spell the iPhone 4S has a 1GHz plural-core processor.

The Droid RAZR likewise has 1GB of RAM (again, like the Galaxy S II), while the iPhone 4S only has 512MB of RAM.

The Droid RAZR has a Super AMOLED display with qHD result (960 by 540 pixels). Aside comparison, the "Retina expose" on the iPhone 4S has a resolution of 960 by 640 pixels. Still, the RAZR has a 4.3-in screen, which is larger than the iPhone's 3.5-inch screen–that means that the RAZR motionless has a lower pel density.

The camera on the Droid RAZR is an 8-megapixel shooter with 1080p transcription, on par with the Galax S II line and the iPhone 4S, as well as the upcoming Windows Call up 7 HTC Titan. The RAZR also has a front-lining 1.3-megapixel television camera for video calls, better than the VGA front camera on the 4S, but less than the S Deuce's 2-megapixel video chat camera.

Motorola really wants the Droid RAZR to outclass its competitors in slenderness. The troupe says the RAZR is the "world's thinnest 4G LTE smartphone." Indeed, the RAZR is very thin–7.1mm, to be precise. That's thinner than the Droid Bionic (11mm), the HTC Thunderbolt (13mm), and the S II Epic 4G Touch (9.59mm). If you ignore the RAZR's camera bulge, it's also thinner than the iPhone 4S, which has a uniform heaviness of 9.3mm.

The Motorola Droid RAZR is a solid addition to Verizon's Droid draw-up, and it's certainly the thinnest 4G device. Nonetheless, IT's not so thin when it comes to damage–at $299, it's about $100 to a greater extent than you're wont to paying for a go past-of-the-line smartphone. However, if you consider that the RAZR comes with 32GB of entrepot (16GB built in, plus an enclosed 16GB MicroSD card), past it's the same price as the equivalent iPhone 4S model with 32GB of storage.
