Build

• For the first time edge to edge display is being introduced in Motorola RAZR I, it does not completely edge to edge as there is a small amount of bezel but it looks outstanding.
• Measuring only 8.3mm, Motorola RAZR i is very slim.
• There is a camera button on the right edge.

• The back cover is nonremovable, so you can not remove the battery.
• You can reach the SIM and microSD card by accessing the edge.
• The handset feels robust in hand.
• A few screws are visible which give a handset and an industrial look, other than that the handset is completely smooth.

 

Display

• The screen with 540×960 pixels of display resolution has bright and crisp colours.
• The display is not absolutely amazing but it is good.
• The 4.3-inch display feels a little cramped because larger handsets are the latest trend in the market.

Performance

• The Intel Atom, 2GHz processor is certainly fast.
• Nothing out of the ordinary about Intel-powered Android phone that will make us want it.
• While, the compatibility rate of the processor with various apps is not very high.

Camera

• There is an 8-megapixel camera at the back, while the front holds a very mediocre 0.3-megapixel camera.
• Video recording is possible at 1080p.
• The camera gives amazing shots in daylight while at night the pictures are a little grainy.
• There were a few noticeable lags in between video shooting.
• It also introduce some new tweaks in the camera app.

Memory & Battery

• There is 8GB of built-in memory of which only 5GB is available to the user.
• Moreover, you can increase the memory by the addition of microSD card
• The battery shows durability and last more than a day.

Features

• RAZR I comes with only one home screen for the sake of keeping things simple.
• You can add and customize more screens when needed.
• A settings screen is present on the left side.
• Mototola also has been redesign the User Interface, but everything is in correspondence with the Holo theme of Android 4.0
• Smart Actions app helps you to perform tasks needed to be performed at specific times and locations like switching on the Wi-Fi when you get home and turning off the data at night
• It also comes with features of DLNA and Near Field Communications.

Verdict

So far RAZR i is the most sophisticated phone by Motorola. It has delivered some very impressive specifications without going over the top. On the other hand, app compatibility with the Intel processor is a bit annoying and the camera performance is not that good either but the tweaks introduced in Motorola RAZR I are pretty impressive.
