Motorola’s New and Improved Droid Razr M Android Smartphone

Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX 4G Android PhoneMotorola has never been on my list until the release of Motorola Razr M. when I first bought my Android based Motorola smartphone Clig XT it was a terrible experience. It was an underpowered good for nothing smartphone which was soon abandoned after its release. Running on Android 1 point something it never got upgraded to next level and in the end all I was left with was CyanogenMod which gave it life for another few months or so.

The Droid Razr M [Affiliate Link]is a good entry to the Motorola’s Droid Razr lineup and far better than the Clig XT. It is slim and light and a robust step towards the future of Droid Razr franchise. Not imitating any of Apple’s features the device accounts for number of reasons why you should go for Android.

One of the facts that accounts for the success of Android is affordability and Droid Razr M certainly among the cheapest of the smartphones out there. It costs around $149.99 at Verizon with a two year contract and $99 if you for mail-in rebate. As far as design of the device in concerned it is compacted and light weighted and but at the same time it is integrated with large display which makes web browsing, movie watching and mail reading much more of a delightful experience. It manifests what Motorola and Google can do as a whole.

Handset is extremely slim measuring around 8.4mm at its thinnest and at its thickest the device accounts for 1cm, clinging to the old but successful approach by keeping the handset as thin as possible. Integrated irremovable 2000 mAh the device sits pretty comfortably in hand with its 12.2 by 6.1cm dimensions. Scratch resistant Gorilla Glass is provided with 950 x 540 pixel display and to further augment things display has been corroborated with eye popping colors and brightness. Clubbed between rear and front camera providing you video recording at high definition 1080p and also provids you with videoconferencing. On the inside the phone is runs on a 1.5 GHz dual core processor which is supported by RAM of 1GB and a storage capacity of 8GB is given. And out of the box it also holds the NFC support as well, so it has all the things that a high end handset has to offer but comes with price tag of just $149.99.

Droid Razr M [Affiliate Link]runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and does not possess any skins or integrated apps by manufacturers or carriers, which is pretty good because most of the times you do not really want all that stuff but you can remove it either. Battery life of the device is pretty brilliant even on 4G LTE of Verizon the battery lasted for complete one day and a bit more. It is all because of the Motorola’s power conservation system called Smart Action which depends extends battery life and depends on number of situations such as physical location or time of the day. For instance, when it comes to me I have custom set the Smart Action which disables the 4G data after 8 p.m. switches to Wi-Fi which is then turned off after midnight. You can set it according to your own schedule.

First Things First!

If you want to use your Blackberry, Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung phones with Straight Talk, you will need to have phones that have GSM capabilities.   You will also need them to be able to use a SIM Card.   If it doesn't have a SIM card to begin with then you might as well look somewhere else.   Straight Talk doesn't do phones that can't have a SIM card in it.  I already talked about the the Difference between GSM and CDMA, So you just have to figure out if it will work with your phone.
