The Motorola Droid Razr is a smartphone version of the Motorola Razr range of phones (a.k.a. Motorazr), which was a rage some years ago. Motorola has gone for a full revamp but kept one feature of the previous handset - its form factor.

The Droid Razr is designed with an attractive form factor. It has a full metallic body with thin edges and a beastly 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen, which works like a char while viewing videos, movies or TV on the handset. To protect its sleek body against damage, it has a Gorilla glass coating and Kevlar coating.

In addition to that, the phone comes with a super-powerful 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM along with a 4G LTE chip which empowers the consumer with superb connectivity speeds at all times. Furthermore, the handset offers WLAN, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for enhanced connectivity.
