The new Motorola Razr: Not the best, but still excellent

Even those who missed the brand "Razr" Motorola will be happy to find a convenient device that works well and includes significant interface enhancements
Probably not. Cell phone brand Motorola's glow could cause disgust himself on most fans before disappearing sometime in 2008, after dozens of models almost - identical and inability to cope with market saw then what iPhone can do. At the same time, it is impossible not to recognize that Reiser was a budding brand that bridged the world of complicated and ugly phones of the late '90s and the vision for the design fit the common consumer.
Now he returns. In late November in the United States launched a new Razr. Two years after Motorola decided to commit to the Android operating system and has great organizational changes, she feels confident enough to declare that here, she again bridges the gap between technology and design. The most surprising part of the story is that only a few weeks later, the phone also launched in Israel. Is available for Motorola Israel, who had trouble in the past to launch handsets with the rest of the world.

Comfortable in the galaxy

Good, but not "the best in the world". New Reiser

Thin - thin
Say the new Motorola Razr (Droid RAZR in the U.S., only RAZR rest of the world) is the best Android phone market today would be a mistake. After all, it becomes a sizable problematic for people who want a small phone. Obvious comparison of this phone is the most popular direct competitor - Samsung's S2 Galaxy, and iPhone. that today, everything should be compared to the iPhone. including, apparently, the orange juice and snail crawling on the window (faster iPhone).
In the tradition of instruments Reiser, Motorola publicized emphasis on the thickness of the phone. His quarter-inch 7.1 Reiser make more than two millimeters thinner iPhone 4S with its 9.3 mm thinner than a millimeter Galaxy S2, a thickness of 8.49 mm. Is it noticeable? Yes. Does it matter? Only part of the overall, later on.
To continue the comparison, for fairness, we understand that Reiser is very thin indeed, but also the largest.Its 4.3-inch screen although the same size to that of the Galaxy S2 (3.5-inch iPhone screen), but the phone is higher and wider than what-S2 few millimeters.
But all these data can be found in the specification, while the goal of criticism is to tell you what is behind them. If you already have you used in Galaxy S2 and you think that is comfortable, you will have a problem with Reiser. In fact, he even slightly more comfortable. If you have not you used the 4.3-inch devices, we strongly encourage you to do this before you decide whether to buy the phone. Even the use of 10 minutes and you'll know whether the screen is not too big for you.
The quality of construction of Reiser excellent. With a Gorilla Glass Glass designed to prevent scratches on the front and felt nice coating of Kevlar fibers on the back, fun to hold the Razr. Bulge of the lens and flash on the back top of the device makes it more balanced, and only adds to comfort

Motoblur has improved dramatically

No more fast competitors
Review consumer auditing specification is a burr. Many of you probably do not care about this phone have dual-core processor at 1.2 GHz - Run, or has a Giga - byte of memory and 16 GB - SATA storage. Mind you he has a faster processor than the iPhone 4S memory two times. Mind you he has a nearly identical processor and as much memory as to the Galaxy S2.
But this did not really relevant, because these data come to answer one question: how fast this phone?Right now - Reiser and Galaxy S2 both very fast. Reiser probably slightly faster, but not a significant difference. And two of them together just approaching the speed of the iPhone's operation, the operating system which is much more suited to work with all the hardware. However, as already mentioned more than once, much more open Android operating system of iPhone, and theoretically allows the user a lot more things.
In fact, most users of adaptability and change of both Android cellphone makers themselves, give off their own devices with interfaces, interfaces like Sense of HTC or Samsung's TouchWiz, aimed at making the operating system friendlier for users. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so. Motorola has not been very successful. The Motoblur its considered one of the most problematic interfaces tailored, more user-Mshazr bothered. After extensive use in the new version of this interface, you can say for sure that he was one of the best on the market today. Lock screen options including Comfort mute the phone and direct access to the camera, through the convenient arrangement of the applications menu to Smart Actions - the highlight of the new interface, and one of the most convenient software Android will meet.
This is software designed to automate actions that you already do, and help you to manage the phone's battery. The software consists of two parts: a trigger and action. Trigger can be many things - location, low battery, a certain time, headphone connection, call a specific number, and more. The act may be too many things, change or mute phone ringtone to carry out a certain application or turning off GPS. These can be combined in a variety of ways. For example, you can determine if it was time to 11 pm, the phone battery control only 50 percent and the phone was not found in loading, the phone warns you that. You can also determine when you are running low ringtone volume work that phone next to you, and when you come home to power up to hear the phone. It is impressive, it works in a simple manner, and incredibly effective.

When will the Android 4?

When will the Razor? Android 4
There's nothing to look for the entrance - you can not replace the battery
Other positive points are on the phone battery time - a whole day of hard work, and quite reasonable camera with a sensor 8 mega - pixel, manages to get good results even lighting is not perfect. A camera's flash is weak, even for mobile phones, but in most cases it is not felt. The quality of reception of Reiser's very good, and the phone can not hold a signal in places very problematic.
Shortcomings can be ascribed to the screen a little less good competitors, even that is reasonable; and annoying dependence of touch keys that are at the bottom of the phone, the screen's light sensor. When the phone thinks you are in bright, he turns off the keyboard lights, making it hard to work with them before you have settled down to the location of each key. This problem will be solved close software update. Non-annoying ability to replace the battery the same little group wants to save herself for this possibility.
And if we are dealing with software updates, though this phone was launched almost simultaneously Android 4 - is still not using it. Still, that Motorola promised to upgrade the phone Android four in a month and a half after its launch. Not clear if this update also quickly comes to Israel, but is to be hoped for. In addition, replacement taxes for micro - Sim can be a nuisance.

Summary: android enthusiasts and big screens

End of the day, Reiser is an excellent phone. Is convenient, it works well, and it includes several things that you will meet with competitors. His biggest problem is the rapid obsolescence - relatively - in February are expected to be exposed to the largest mobile exhibition in Barcelona new models of competitors Reiser.But in the meantime, if you are debating between Android phones with large screen, Reiser is probably the phone for you.
