Battle Of The Smartphones-the Motorola Razr And The Samsung Galaxy S2

Motorola have recently unveiled their new Razr handset which is a premium smartphone

boasting a great combination of stylish design and excellent features. Here we put this model besides the best selling Samsung Galaxy S2 to see how the new model compares with the phone that has proved to be the best device of 2011.

There really is very little to choose between these two models when it comes to design. These are two of the slimmest phones that you are likely to encounter with the Galaxy S2 offering an overall depth of just 8.5mm. This is eclipsed by the impressive Razr which offers a depth of just 7.1mm for the majority of the body. The only exception to this is a small protruding lip at the top of the phone which houses the camera lens. The S2 offers a more rectangular form whilst the Razr gives us tapered corners and a more unusual design which ultimately proves more attractive. In terms of performance there is very little difference between the two phones as they both incorporate the same dual core 1.2 Ghz ARM Cortex A9 processor. This processor ensures both models are amongst the fastest phones available and can handle multi tasking facilities with ease. The graphics processing units fitted in both models do differ slightly and the Samsung Galaxy S2 comes out on top here with its PowerVR SGX 540 chip being more suited for demanding games titles and multi media usage.

When we take a look at the screen technology used on both phones the Motorola Razr seems to have the upper hand. Despite offering the same sized 4.3 inch Super AMOLED display it manages to offer a higher 540 x 960 resolution than the Samsung. The result of this extra quality is that the handset can offer 256 pixels per inch compared to 217 on the Galaxy S2. The Samsung screen is still impressive however and offers a respectable resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. This high standard of display is perfect for viewing photographs and videos recorded on the phone. In this area both phones offer great facilities including an 8 million pixel still camera and the ability to capture 1080P video footage. The Motorola Razr has the upper hand when it comes to the front facing camera as this can record 720P HD resolution rather than the standard VGA offered on the Galaxy S2.

On this evidence it seems that the new Motorola Razr is well poised to take over from the Samsung Galaxy S2 as one of the highest quality handsets available. Despite the phones being very similar in many areas the Razr does have the edge thanks to its striking looks and great screen quality.
