Reviews Of Motorola Razr I: Fluent Running But Inadequate Standby Time
1. Kevlar Graphics
1. Kevlar Graphics
Yesterday, Google announced the latest smartphone of its subordinateMotorola RAZR I. This is a mid-range smartphone with narrow frame design. Last year, Motorola didnt do well in European market and its condition didnt change until the advent of RAZR. Therefore, for Motorola, RAZR Is performance in the European market does mean a lot to it. Meanwhile, we hope that before long we can see its advertisements on TVs and buses.
Motorola RAZR I will be on sale in October, yet its price remains unknown. A set of mid-range device although it is, its price for its body is about 300, equal to that of HTC ONE S and Sony Xperia S.
Motorola RAZR I and Droid RAZR M were unveiled earlier this month, both of which look the same. The sturdy body, wedge-shaped aluminum frame and Kevlar back cover all protect it well, preventing it from too many damages.
There are 3 screws on the frame of RAZR I respectively, yet not everyone like this design. Unlike the top-heavy design of RAZR series, this device is in average weight, which can firmly lie on your hands.
Although there exist certain disparities when compared to iPhone 4S and Xperia S, the device, sporting a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display at 540960, has a very clear and exquisite display. Due to the frameless design and the unavailable dust screen on the earphone, both the top and the bottom of the screen become smaller.
Thanks to its dimension at 122.5 x 60.9 x 8.3 mm, it feels slim and long when being held. Meanwhile, Motorola said in its conference that the screen of RAZR I is 15 percent larger than iPhone 5.
2. Intel processors speed
Motorola RAZR I is the first set of Motorola smartphone adopting an Intel processor and 2GHz dual core processor. With 1G RAM, it is launching on Android 4.0. Motorola has made promise to upgrade it to 4.1, yet it doesnt give a specific date. Motorola signed a contract with Intel to guarantee the quality of the processor. They said that they have made great improvement on Android system and have the software run without any pause.
Accessing to the Internet is what Motorola RAZR I worth showing of. You can load webpages within a short time. For example, it just takes 4 seconds to load the webpage of TechRadar.com.
The pinch-to-zoom runs smoothly, but it is not as good as Galaxy S3. Yet, what Galaxy S3 adopts is a quad-core processor. Hence, its text and graphic rendering technique all impress us.
For a negative side, theres no Text Rolling Back function in the RAZR I. That means you have to keep rolling pages to read when zooming the text. Even worse is RAZR I doesnt have the functions that are installed in most of smartphones.
3. The 8MP camera is in an average performance
Another upgrade of RAZR I is the 8MP rear camera. Thanks to Intel processor, you can start up apps immediately. More powerfully, you can swiftly select camera and shoot photos by tapping on the app icon or the physical shutter on the right side of RAZR I.
RAZR I support auto or touch focus, and it takes only 1-2 seconds to return to the shooting model. If you still are not satisfied with this, there are 10 Continuous Capture Modes to assist you to capture the wonderful instant.
Moreover, there are many other settings in RAZR I, such as sensitometry, scene and special efficiency, which, however, are still not compatible to its competitors. RAZR I possesses the option for turning on the rear LED light and HDR model.
To our surprise, RAZR I doesnt bear the panoramic photos mode which is essential in other Android 4.0 devices. Fortunately, its rear camera supports FHD 1080p video recording while its 30W front-facing camera supports 720p recording.
4. The new UI plugins are hyalinized
We find out that the Android 4.0 run by RAZR is close to its initial 4.0 version. Motorola changes the notification bar interface and deletes Clunkl skin, thus contributing to more fluent experience.
It cant be said that Motorola has abandoned all its features, because Motorolas round plugin is still here. Inside the plugin, you can add clock, weather and electric power to it and can receive text messages, emails and notice.Of course, you can clear it away if you dont need this plugin. By doing this, you can go through the experience more directly. Besides, you still can save your time to look for software by adding shortcuts on the desktop.
When dragging down the notice board on the top, you may feel disappointed at the unavailability of shortcut. Yet, dont worry about it for Motorola offer a new way to solve this problem. On the top of the screen, you can return to the homescreen by swiping from left to right instead of rolling, where you can also make quick settings. Although you can make quick settings for Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and mobile data, theres no NFC rapid On/Off on the list.
RAZR I sports Android initial input method. The IME can provide good experience in daily inputting, yet, it is somewhat clogged when working on the 4.3-inch screen. Referring to the screen, many you are increasingly fond of big screen, especially for iPhone you. Now you are satisfied with RAZR Is large screen, but they still have to download the third party apps through Google electronic market.
5. Conclusion Smooth experience but unpleasant standby time
For those who love storing multimedia contents to their smartphone, they may feel disappointed as Motorola RAZR I only offers 8GB storage. Yet, theres no need to worry because there is a microSD slot on the left side and at the bottom respectively.
We are impressed by the boot interface displayed on the propaganda films for Motorola RAZR I. When playing videos, the screen of RAZR I wont be as bright as its competitors, where you can enjoy the pleasant images and experience.
Intel claims that the processor of RAZR I is installed with a more powerful power management than other dual core processor. That means that the 2000mAh battery, even severely used, can keep working for a day.
Motorola confirms that it will make contract with T-Mobile, Orange, Virgin Media, Tesco Mobile and Phones4U for sales of RAZR I, and is negotiating with other operators. It is very likely for Motorola to cooperate with 02, Three and Vodafone.
Previous prediction
Motorola RAZR I is a mid-range smartphone with high efficiency and visual UI. Its good additional functions and sturdy design are what we are looking for. If Intel processor can furnish a battery with longer working life and afford a competitive price, this RAZR I will achieve a great sales volume. For more comprehensive review about it, we will keep introducing it to you in the near future.
