The Razors from Motorola
With a super-slim Motorola phone will create a new cult, as once with the clamshell. What can the new Razr? It handles automatically everyday jobs, an update to Android 4.0 is promised. The hardness test has Matthias Kremp the phone set even under water.
Motorola‘s Razr phone was a cult. From just the first model, the Razr V3, should have gone after the introduction in 2004, around 50 million units to customers in the two years. Then came the iPhone and the U.S. company could only dream of such success. Motorola RAZR is now trying to revive the cult – with a new Razr, which is quite different from its forebear.
For while the Razr V3 clamshell phone for almost synonymous, stood a metal keypad and had been so compact that it fits well into small hands, his modern successors consists almost entirely of a touchscreen. And that is so big that it even has trouble with long fingers to reach all corners of the screen.
And yet there is one thing in common: The first was after Razr Razor blades (in English razor blades ), named because it was extremely thin for his time, just razor sharp. The same applies to the new Razr: At 7.1 millimeters, it is as thin as perhaps no other smartphone.
Klein is why it is not. The screen measures 4.3 inches in fact the diagonal belongs to the larger representatives of its kind using 960 x 540 pixels, it has a very significant resolution. Which ensures that much text fits on the screen that appears also cut nice and sharp. The hope that the display would appear due to the used super-AMOLED-Advanced technology is particularly brilliant, but not satisfied. The screen is good, contrast and saturated colors shown, outstanding, he is not.
Moderate-reliance, limited intelligence
The same applies to the camera. With its eight-megapixel resolution makes good pictures, but has problems with poor lighting, which she acknowledged with clearly visible noise. They can shine in high-definition video recordings that are recorded crisp and sharp. The zoom feature sucks though, because they do not work continuously. Will you enlarge a detail, jerky picture gradually approach the desired zoom level.
Like many other manufacturers also installed the Motorola Android 2.3.5 system has a moderately modified own look has taken over. Here, the designers are, however, proceeded so cautiously, that the additions do not interfere. First and foremost it is a few graphical effects that light up as you scroll between home screens shortly.
Better hidden simultaneously useful and is a Motorola app called “intelligent action”. This is a system that can be used to automate recurring tasks on the phone. Some examples of what you can do so provides, with Motorola. An action, for example, automatically retrieves the morning weather forecast and news. Another, which mutes the ringer and the vibrate mode is activated upon entering the office, also sends an SMS back home when you leave the office again. Custom actions can be made of prefabricated modules together easy typing. Once you get used to it, may no longer do without.
Motorola promises Android 4.0 update
Flawless with the automatic action appears not to be. In Web forums, there are several reports of users whose Razr with the error message, a process called com.android.phone had crashed, log off from the cellular network. Our test unit was the message several times, but not traceable to. Some users report the errors no longer occur when you turn off the wireless function, others that he disappears when you disable automatic actions. Motorola, which has held no remedy in sight. A software update might fix the problem.
Hopefully, that such interim update is coming soon and the error is not corrected only if Motorola delivers the update to Android 4.0. That there will be such, has already promised the group in early 2012, come the new software. Thus, the company has delivered a strong argument for the new Razr. With the update notice can one call it future-compatible. A predicate that can be given the sluggish update policy of many manufacturers have been far attributed to a few Android phones.
Even under the water well
A guarantee that the Razr is a success, not the update promises. Sure, the new Motorola phone is a very special, because it is so super flat, because there is so much to do in automatic mode and because it is not afraid of water. Motorola indicates the device – and its innards – are of a “water-and stain-resistant coating” protected. Of the relay to dive into water, advises the company on anyway. Our test unit we have still extensively rinsed under a tap (see photo gallery) – without consequences. After we had dried it in detail, it worked again without problems.
A single piece, it is not the same. Strong competitors are Samsung‘s Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation XE. If you are not focused on Android, as well as Nokia‘s Lumia 800 and the iPhone 4S . Easy it is for Motorola not revive the cult Razr.
