Motorola as well as Yahoo and google have unsurprisingly been working away at an important new release, even though it would appear that Yahoo and google not too long ago shed fascination with it. Regardless, the unit, often referred to as the particular “Motorola A, ” continues to be lost repeatedly just before. At this point we’re staying taken care of for you to another graphic from the unit that was received simply by PhoneArena.

The site states the particular graphic is usually issue in case a chance from the XT1056, a computer device bound pertaining to Dash that’s at present within LTE tests. This isn’t confirmed to be the particular Motorola A, even so the supplier typically believes that it's as well as explained it's got any four. 5-inch as well as four. 6-inch display, Operating system four. only two. only two Jello Bean, 16GB of safe-keeping, any 1. 7GHz Snapdragon cpu as well as 2GB of MEMORY.

The item doesn’t audio specifically radical at this point, specifically than the Galaxy S4 as well as HTC Just one, thus we’re privately wanting Motorola as well as Yahoo and google have one thing greater planned. The particular Motorola A is usually required to help make its debut within September.

Much of the Motorola chatter has surrounded the rumored X-Phone lately, however it looks like another handset has been revealed. This latest is the Motorola XT912A and it has been spotted, pictured and reviewed in Vietnam. While we have yet to see anything from Motorola on this particular handset, it does leave us wanting to know a bit more. Still, wanting to know more is a difference from seeing something with a wow factor.

Basically, the Motorola XT912A looks to have some potential.Granted, that is not to say high-end, but certainly something to consider depending on the pricing. The handset is noted as having a 4-inch 720p display along with a Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, Adreno 320 graphics, 2GB of RAM and a 2000 mAh battery. 

The software appears to be a fairly stock version of Android. There is the Motorola widget sitting on display, however we could not help but notice the standard three capacitive buttons — one for back, home and menu.Looking at the front of the handset and we are also seeing the Motorola logo towards the top left. On some level it looks a bit unbalanced on the left hand side, but it is clean and simple looking nonetheless.

From the backside we are also seeing a simple clean look. You will nice the camera, flash and Motorola logo with a speaker sitting just to the right of the camera. The overall appearance of the phone appears to be rather nice.This of course brings the question as to whether this is final hardware or something being used for testing. 

As of now we have yet to see anything that would suggest a release was coming anytime soon. On that thought, while this is certainly not the specs we are expecting in the X-Phone, this could potentially be a nice mid-level device from Motorola. Time will tell just how accurate that thought will be though.

Despite being in the closest of relations with Google and therefore enjoying a privileged front-row seat at any new Android version premiere, Motorola is yet to become the fierce Samsung opponent we know (or hope) it can be.

And while we can’t exactly count on a Droid Razr M successor to overturn the company’s fortunes altogether, we’re excited to hear for the first time about a so-called Razr M HD. We don’t know how this new phone might look and when it could see the light of day (no, “sometime in 2013” is not an accepted ETA), but what we do have today is a spec sheet for the handheld.

Now, before moving any forward, we have to warn you – this is nothing else but an unverified rumor and those are, as you know, a dime a dozen. So what you should do is grab a bag of popcorn, an extra pound or two of salt and look at the following details as if you’d be watching a sci-fi movie:

Design

Device type: Smart phone

OS: Android (4.1) upgradeable to Android 4.2

Form Factor: Candy Bar

Dimensions: 5.15 x 2.52 x .035 inches

Weight: 5.22 ounces

Display
Physical size: 4.5 inches

Resolution: 720×1280 pixels

Pixel density: 326 ppi

Technology: TFT

Colors: 16 777 216

Touchscreen: Capacitive, Multi-touch

Features: Light sensor, Proximity sensor, Scratch-resistant glass

Battery

Talk time: 21.25 hours

Stand-by time: 15.65

Capacity: 3300 mAh
Type: Li – Polymer

Hardware

System chip: Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960

Processor: Dual core, 1500 MHz, Krait

Graphics processor: Adreno 225

System memory: 1024 MB RAM (Dual-channel, 500 MHz) / DDR2 / 8192 MB ROM

Built-in storage: 16 GB

Storage expansion: microSD, microSDHC up to 32 GB

And now that the “movie” is over, let’s see what we can make of it. First off, we have to underline one very important thing – while we don’t want to discredit PhoneArena’s “anonymous source”, it’s pretty weird how many things this mysterious tipster knows already.

These details usually leak drop by drop, so to see such an ocean of information spilling all at once is just… suspicious. Especially when the first-gen Razr M is just three months old, which means the HD version can’t possibly come before next summer.

Even more bizarre and far-fetched is the battery capacity of this alleged Droid Razr M HD. We would definitely love to see a 3,300 mAh “ticker” inside the bad boy, but do you really think Moto will be bumping the battery with a whole 1,300 mAh on a phone from one generation to the other? I for one don’t.

The rest of the info seems legit, although a couple of things still don’t add up. We understand for instance that Motorola wants to keep this targeted at the mid-range niche, but is it really a good idea to equip it with the same old 1.5 GHz MSM8960 CPU and 1 GB of RAM? Also, isn’t the whole thing a little too similar to the Droid Razr HD?Unfortunately, those and all other questions you might have will probably only find their answers months from now, so let’s just wait and see, okay?

The Motorola Electrify M recently landed at US Cellular, and with it we’re getting a very strong feeling of deja vu. Despite the new name, we’ve seen this phone before, as its nearly identical twin – the DROID RAZR M – is currently gracing Verizon‘s shelves. The DROID RAZR M was a pretty solid handset, though it was somewhat overshadowed by the release of the DROID RAZR HD and the RAZR MAXX HD. Can Motorola keep the quality train rolling with the Electrify M? Read on to find out.

Design:-
Most of the differences between the Electrify M and the RAZR M are found in the design of each phone. Whereas the RAZR M was decked out in Kevlar, the Electrify M isn’t, opting instead for a silver plastic battery cover. It doesn’t look half bad, but then again, I have to say that I’m more a fan of the Kevlar than I am of the plastic. Still, the silver and black mesh well and come together to form one nice looking handset.
The Electrify M isn’t very big at all, thanks in large part to its 4.3-inch screen. This is the exact same size as the screen found on the the RAZR M, save for one key difference: the RAZR M’s screen was considered “edge-to-edge” by Motorola, but the Electrify M’s screen doesn’t stretch all the way across the face. This probably isn’t going to be a problem for most as it doesn’t do anything to the detract from the look of the device, it’s just that I feel the need to point out differences when I see them considering there are so few
On the left side of the phone is where you’ll find a slot for the micro SD and micro SIM cards and the micro USB port. Over on the right side, you’ve got the volume rocker and the power button, while there’s a standard 3.5mm headphone jack up top. There isn’t anything happening on the bottom of the device, while around the back you’ve got a small opening for the speaker that’s located right next to the camera lens.

The phone comes in a hair under four ounces in weight, which gives it just the right amount of heft. At 0.34-inches thick, it isn’t the thinnest smartphone we’ve seen (it isn’t even the thinnest smartphone Motorola makes), but to be honest, I don’t mind the additional thickness. I don’t want my phone to be a brick, but I also don’t want it to feel like it’ll break if I dare to pull it out of my pocket when there’s a breeze. It feels good in the hand, though those who want a phone on the smaller end of the spectrum will enjoy the Electrify M the most. If you like big smartphones, you might want to look elsewhere.
The Electrify M is rather unextraordinary in design, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad looking handset; there just isn’t much to make it stand out from the sea of other smartphones. Motorola has definitely taken some design cues from the Electrify 2, which launched earlier in the year, so this definitely feels like a member of the Electrify family, despite the fact that it has so much in common with the RAZR M. Just look at it as if you’re getting the best of both worlds with the Electrify M.

Hardware:-
While there are some pretty big differences between the RAZR M and the Electrify M in terms of design, there are almost no differences when it comes to hardware. The Super AMOLED Advanced screen not only has the same dimensions, but also the same resolution – 540×960 to be exact. That’s qHD resolution, which means visuals won’t be as sharp as some would like. Sharpness aside, colors actually look great, so in a way that makes up for the sub-HD resolution

There’s a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz running the show, and while some of the technophiles among us probably stopped reading there, the S4 will be speedy enough for most. We have to remember whose attention Motorola wants with phones like the Electrify M and the RAZR M. It definitely isn’t the hardcore consumers, but rather the mainstream crowd. For folks who just want a solid phone that doesn’t cost a ton of money, the dual core S4 will provide more than enough speed.You could literally rattle off a list of RAZR M specs, and the hardware in the Electrify M would match to the last digit in the last model number. 1GB of RAM? The Electrify M has just as much. 8GB of internal storage? Check. Rear-facing 8MP camera? You know it! Both phones even have the same 2,000mAh battery. If you’ve used the RAZR M before, you’ve already used the Electrify M; it’s as simple as that.

Software:-

The Electrify M comes running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, and since Motorola is now owned by Google, you’re about as close to stock Android as you can get. There won’t be too much that shocks users as far as the operating system is concerned, but we’re sure many Android fans wouldn’t want it any other way.
Of course, there’s a decent helping of apps already installed from the get go, with some inevitably more useful than others. I imagine a lot of folks will skip out on US Cellular’s apps – those being Daily Perks, Your Navigation, and Tone Room Deluxe – and maybe also Gameloft’s HD Games hub (which seems a little out of place on the Electrify M). Others, like Facebook, Slacker Radio, Twitter, and the suites from Google and Amazon will see some more finger traffic, but that isn’t any surprise.

With everything tallied up, that 8GB of internal storage drops down to about 4.15GB. That isn’t bad and will likely last some users for quite some time, but people who can’t get enough apps or want to store a lot of music will want to invest in a micro SD card when they go to pick up their Electrify M.
It’s worth pointing out that Motorola plans to begin upgrading Electrify M handsets to Jelly Bean in Q1 2013, which is right around the corner. If you buy one of these, you probably won’t have to wait very long for Ice Cream Sandwich to be replaced with Jelly Bean, and that’s a big bonus. The prospects of future software support are very important to some consumers, so if that’s you, know that Motorola is at least planning to bring the Electrify M up to Jelly Bean by the time everything is said and done (and may even upgrade it past Android 4.1 if we’re lucky).

Battery

As stated above, the Electrify M comes with a relatively beefy 2,000mAh battery, which means you’ll have a fair amount of juice at your disposal on a full charge. With moderate use, I didn’t have any problem getting the battery to last nearly two days. You’ll still probably want to plug the phone in every night when you hit the sack, as it seems to drain somewhat quickly while asleep if you’ve got it connected to Wi-Fi or US Cellular’s mobile network
Still, even with usage that borders on heavy, you should be able to get a day out of a full charge. The only downside is that the battery isn’t removable, so you won’t be able to swap it out when the battery the Electrify 2 ships with begins to have problems holding a charge. Non-removable batteries are common in Motorola phones, but that doesn’t make it any less of a drag.

BenchmarksUnsurprisingly, the Electrify M isn’t ranking at the top of the benchmark results, but it’s still powerful enough to hold its own. In AnTuTu, the phone scored 10,499, enough to put it a fair distance behind the ASUS Transformer Prime and ever so slightly ahead of the original Galaxy Note. We get similar results in Quadrant, with the Electrify M coming in a fair amount ahead of the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Nexus. Dual-core definitely can’t hold a flame to quad-core, but in this case, a dual-core processor is still enough to get the job done.
Sadly, I wasn’t able to carry out a speed test that actually means anything, because US Cellular doesn’t have any stores near me. Therefore, it doesn’t have the best coverage in my area, which is understandable considering that it probably doesn’t have too many customers where I live. I was able to get something on the carrier’s 3G network, but if you live in an area that’s actually serviced by US Cellular, there’s a very good chance that you’ll get much better results. That’s especially true if you live in US Cellular’s 4G LTE coverage area, as the Electrify M is primed and ready to take advantage of LTE.
Camera

We’re working an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera on the Electrify M, and like the shooter on the RAZR M, it takes some respectable pictures when you’re in a well lit area. These images aren’t good enough for me to recommend using the Electrify M’s snapper over a dedicated camera, but if you want a phone that can take some decent pictures, you could definitely do worse than the Electrify M. Check out the sample shots below to see what the Electrify M is capable of.
Wrap-Up

I don’t know what else to do other than point once again to the fact that the Electrify M is the RAZR M, aside from some largely inconsequential cosmetic changes (though I do miss the Kevlar). That isn’t a knock against the Electrify M, as the RAZR M was a solid handset. The Electrify M is just as solid, but since we’ve seen all of this before, I’m finding it hard to get excited about this new handset.
Regardless of that little hang up of mine, the Electrify M is a good choice if you’re looking to get a quality phone without breaking the bank. The Snapdragon S4 is still a nice processor, and the Super AMOLED Advanced display is colorful despite the fact that its resolution leaves something to be desired. At $149, the price US Cellular is asking isn’t too bad at all, but that price tag drops down to just $99 if you happen to live within the carrier’s 4G LTE service area.

If you’re not one to care all that much about having top tier hardware, then I think you’ll be pleased with the Electrify M. I’m a fan of Motorola’s handsets in general, and the Electrify M is just another handset to add to the ever growing list. With that said, I have no problem recommending the Electrify M if you count yourself among the mainstream crowd.

With all the rumors and leaks associated with Samsung and Apple, it could seem to most as if all other companies have gone dormant with two of the smartphone heavyweights fighting it out among themselves to dominate the market. However, with the new year just around the corner, all that may change with Motorola finally ready make it a three-way fight to the top.


Per reports, Motorola, supposedly, is planning the release of a certain ‘X Phone’ that may give tough competition to its rivals by being one of the major smartphones to come out next year.

The Wall Street Journal quotes sources “familiar with the matter” describing Motorola’s engineers currently hard at work on this X phone, which is supposed to be a major part of Google’s 2013 Android strategy. Motorola is also said to be directing its development efforts on a limited number of higher-quality Androids and, in the process, splitting its attention between new Droid models for Verizon and this X phone project.

“Seven months after being acquired by Google for $12.5 billion, Motorola is designing its marquee handset with cutting-edge features to stand apart from existing phones when it is released next year, these people said,” the WSJ report states.

While this is brand new information regarding a new Motorola smartphone, some will not be surprised by the news as Google’s Larry Page was talking along these lines a little earlier this month. He explained that users and fans haven’t seen anything like that (both Google and Motorola working on a new handset) yet, partly because the two companies hadn’t had enough time to work together since the acquisition.

Per a Pocketnow report, Page claimed “that users have been raving about how much they like the service, and Google would ‘obviously like to get it to more people if we are allowed to,’ continuing, ‘I’d like to see more cooperation in that area and in many parts of the industry.’”

However, currently, nothing is known about any of the device’s specifications, including both the hardware and the software. However, it has been stated that some kind of special care is being given to the device’s battery life, camera quality,as well as the software.

Motorola is releasing a white version of the RAZR i for the UK market. Each of the smartphone's panels has been colored in white, including the Kevlar back. We must say, the result is pretty great.Beginning December 22, the white RAZR i will be available at Phones4U. At first, the smartphone will be exclusive to the online retailer, but will later become available to other UK retailers, even though it's not known exactly when that might happen.

The MOTOROLA RAZR i is free on a 2-year contract with prices starting at £20.50 per month from Orange. You can check out the source link below for more information regarding the different plans.

Launched back in October, the RAZR i sports a 4.3-inch qHD edge-to-edge display covered with Gorilla Glass. Inside ticks a 2GHz single-core Intel Atom processor.

We learned back in October what devices Motorola was and wasn’t going to support with an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update. The ATRIX HD was one of the handsets that was promised such an update, and now AT&T has announced that it’s finally coming to ATRIX HD owners and should be rolling out now.Starting today, AT&T and Motorola are pushing the OTA Android 4.1 update to devices, which will bring a handful of improvements over Ice Cream Sandwich, including Google Now, Project Butter, and improved notifications. Of course, Motorola has also thrown in some tweaks of its own into the mix, like Drive Smart and Quick Settings.

The RAZR M was the first Motorola device to get a bump to Jelly Bean, and that was followed by the RAZR HD and the RAZR MAXX HD. This is also AT&T’s fourth device that runs Jelly Bean, joining the Samsung Galaxy Note II, Samsung Galaxy S III, and the HTC One X+, with more to follow in the future eventually.

The ATRIX HD runs a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor at 1.5GHz with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage (expandable microSD storage available). The update should be live anytime, so if you aren’t seeing a notification for it, head into Settings > About Phone > Software Updates to see if it’s available on your device.

Motorola is sticking with its promise of keeping users informed about updates of the latest Android operating system hitting their phones. The Google owned company released some details on the progress of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean hitting the company’s phones and tablets. Now we’re not going to list all the devices because it’s a really long list. However, we decided to throw a few devices down below that we feel people care about more:

•RAZR i Jelly Bean update now scheduled for Q1 2013

•Droid Bionic will be upgraded to Jelly Bean (Android 4.1); no time-frame given

•Verizon Droid RAZR HD/RAZR MAXX HD still due Jelly Bean update before 2013

•Photon Q will be upgraded to Jelly Bean (Android 4.1); no time-frame given

•AT&T Atrix HD due Jelly Bean update before 2013

•3G/LTE Xoom Jelly Bean update delayed to Q1 2013

•Canadian Atrix HD + RAZR HD due to get Jelly Bean in Q1 2013

•Euro RAZR HD Jelly Bean update scheduled for Dec. 2012

If you’re thinking of Android 4.2, then keep thinking because Motorola didn’t mention it at all. These dates sprinkled out by Motorola is subject to change, so don’t get your hopes up too high, as manufacturers tend to disappoint A LOT.

Samsung published a list of about 15 devices that are going to be getting Jelly Bean in the coming months. This was shortly after the Jelly Bean update began rolling out to the International Galaxy S3 in Poland.

The Samsung Galaxy Music will be running Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box.It will get updated to Jelly Bean very soon. The device also has a 3-inch display, 850MHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of Internal storage along with a Micro SD card slot, and a 3MP camera on the back.It has a dedicated music button.It also have Samsung’s Music Hub service to be heavily integrated on this device as well.It might be a better choice to go with the Motorola Droid Razr M, which has much better specs and a larger screen.

There is no information on pricing or availability. But we expect this device will probably only hit pre-paid carriers in the US, like Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, etc. Samsung is also having an event on October 11th.

Specifically, he calls out Droid Bionic owners as having gotten a "raw deal" and says that a plan is still in place to update the phone to Android 4.0 — it was originally supposed to happen in Q3 this year, but with only a few days left on the calendar it looks like that deadline will be missed.

It is too much to ask for a phone battery that can last for a day – and then some more.We’re talking about a truly mobile experience where one doesn’t have to switch to 2G, dial the brightness all the way down, disable haptic feedback, and rely on other power-saving methods just to get a couple more minutes of screen time. We long for a phone that lets us turn the 4G LTE or 3G network on and consume all those HD videos YouTube has to offer without getting paranoid and checking the battery stats every 10 minutes.

But alas, although progress has been made on the battery front, current technology just can’t keep up with power-hungry CPU, screen, and other things that make a phone smart. Motorola was pretty close with its Razr Maxx phones and 3,300mAh battery. Then there’s the Galaxy S3, which packs a respectable 2,100mAh battery. These are still far from the ideal state that some smartphone owners dream about, though.

Weighing in at 189 grams, the Samsung external battery pack isn’t exactly light as a feather – but it’s pretty compact overall. On top of the device, you’ll find four LED status indicators, while one regular USB port, one microUSB port and the power button are placed on the sides.

The INQUIRER was lucky enough to get some hands-on time with the top-end HTC Windows Phone 8 smartphone ahead of its launch at the beginning of November, and while we couldn't help but be won over by its vibrant design, we think it might struggle to rival Nokia's flagship Lumia 920 smartphone.

Design

According to HTC the design of the Windows Phone 8X is its main selling point, thanks to the way it "mimics" the look of the Windows Phone 8 operating system (OS) and ties in nicely Microsoft's live tile interface.

We got our hands on the "blue" version of the Windows Phone 8X smartphone, which quite frankly isn't blue. Instead, it features a garish purple plastic case, one that we can't see appealing to too many male Windows Phone fans. Still, there are three other colours to choose from - Graphite Black, Flame Red and Limelight Yellow.Still, that's not to say we didn't like it, as despite looking oddly similar to Nokia's Lumia line of smartphones, it's one of the most striking designs we've seen lately. It also feels like it could withstand a fair few tumbles, as its casing felt tough, despite weighing just 130g.

In terms of size, the handset's tapered edges make it feel a lot slimmer than it is, as it's actually quite a chunky device at 132.35x66.2x10.12mm.

Screen

The HTC Windows Phone 8X features a 4.3in HD 720p screen. Although not cranked up to full brightness, the display seemed impressively vibrant and boasted decent viewing angles during our hands-on time with the handset.

That's no doubt thanks to the screen's Super LCD 2 technology, which in previous reviews has proved just as vibrant as the Super AMOLED technology found on the Samsung Galaxy S3.Software

The Windows Phone 8 operating system running on the HTC Windows 8X, with HTC telling us that the software isn't quite ready yet, adding weight to the rumours that Windows Phone 8 might be delayed until November.

HTC also admitted that it hasn't added many unique software tweaks to the Windows Phone 8X handset. The only app that HTC has preloaded is its HTC Hub application, where users can check out the weather, stock updates, apps and news. Not a major selling point, if you ask us. This could put some buyers off, considering that the Nokia Lumia 920 comes preloaded with several Nokia apps, including Drive, Music and Maps.

Speaking of Nokia, HTC said it the Windows Phone 8X will come preloaded with Nokia Maps, which is excellent news for buyers of the handset.

Performance

The HTC Windows Phone 8X handset features Qualcomm's nippy dual-core S4 processor.The handset has no removable battery or expandable memory via microSD card though, unlike the cheaper HTC Windows Phone 8S smartphone. This means that users will be stuck with the handset's 16GB of internal storage and won't be able to replace its battery once it starts to age and stutter.

Camera

HTC looks to be challenging Nokia with claims that the Windows Phone 8X camera is one of its main selling points. It does sound pretty impressive, since it's an 8MP rear-facing camera with an f/2.0 lens, BSI sensor and the ability to capture HD 1080p video.

Although we were unable to give the handset's camera a thorough testing, we were able to fire it up using the dedicated camera key - and while not as fast as the snapper on the Motorola Razr I - it loaded up impressively fast.

There's also a front-facing camera on the front of the HTC Windows Phone 8X perfect for Skype video calling, a feature missing from the cheaper HTC Windows Phone 8S.

First impressions

While the design of the HTC Windows Phone 8X is flashy, we're not sure that the device itself is. Sure, it's more exciting than the Samsung Ativ S, but we don't think it can compete with the Nokia Lumia 920, which comes stuffed full of unique apps and innovative features such as its Pureview camera and wireless charger.

Motorola and Intel launched the RAZR i powered by an Intel Medfield chipset.
The Motorola RAZR i is a single-core 2GHz Intel Atom built on the 32nm manufacturing process. 

It supports hyper-threading as well, so its single-core architecture shouldn't be an issue.At the front of the Motorola Razr i sits a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Advanced display of qHD resolution with Gorilla Glass for protection.

Motorola also took a dig at the competition (mostly Apple, really), comparing the the RAZR i screen with the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5. The RAZR i has 40% more screen per square inch than the iPhone 4S, and 15% more than the iPhone 5.

The 2GHz Intel Atom chip is very fast.The Motorola RAZR i starts the 8 megapixel camera under 1 second and can take 10 pictures in less than one second. At the front, there's a 0.3MP snapper for making video calls.

Measuring 122.5mm x 60.9mm x 8.3mm, the RAZR i packs a 2,000 mAh battery under its back cover, which should be good for

continuous use.

Motorola has a lot to prove now its under the Google umbrella, and the RAZR i has taken an atypical path with its choice of an Intel Atom 2GHz processor.

The 4.3-inch RAZR i is one of the rare devices. panel. the RAZR i’s Super AMOLED screen is a vision.It have a genuinely impressive display with graphics that sit just beneath the fingertip, and brightness and detail that make it perfect for video playback. It’s a surprisingly light handset too.Motorola eschewing the traditional metal for more of its favored Kevlar, and while the raw-effect back may be a little try-hard in its look, the phone doesn’t feel cheap.

The RAZR i through its paces in the full review to see how Intel’s 32nm chip keeps up with the ARM processors.However, Android – Ice Cream Sandwich, sadly, not Jelly Bean – showed no lag in our brief play, and Motorola’s customizations, such as a “Circles” launcher, work smoothly.There’s also customization in the camera app, with a new HDR mode that automatically suggests turning it on when the RAZR i decides the scene warrants some extra punch. It’s possible to shoot stills while simultaneously recording video, too.

In short, it’s a surprisingly compact handset for those who want a big screen without a pocket compromise; what may end up being the weak link is Intel’s chipset, but we won’t know that until we run it through the gauntlet of daily use.
