Always On - Unboxing the Motorola RAZRi, RAZRm and RAZR MAXX HD

2012-10-24
time for our unboxing motorola has an all new line of razors we have two of them right here this is the Droid Razr m the model that you can get here in the US inside this box we have the Droid Razr eye now before we start I just want to say I'm super excited because our grip Dave made me my very own box cutter with my name on it alright let's bust it out now as I mentioned this is the international version of this sort of low-priced razor line it's meant to be a little bit more affordable the specs are just okay but there are some key differences between the eye and the amp one key difference that is obvious right off the bat is that the razor eye actually has an Intel chip unlike the M which has an atom chip let's see what's in the box okay we have our international power brick comes with the earbuds and charging cable that's a short little charging cable I'm not a fan of that with the iPhone 5 so now I'm totally hyper aware of the length of all the charging cables it's amazing what you can get obsessed with in life so let's look at the phone it is a 4.3 inch display which after all the sort of mega phones we've been unboxing lately looks tiny see it's I think it's gonna come on no even though we didn't charge it up let's compare these side-by-side and while we wait for this guy to start up let's do some specs this is Motorola's first Android device that contains an Intel chip it's a 2 gigahertz Medfield's single core chip and I gotta tell you at first blush you can tell it's just a single core it has a 4.3 inch edge to edge Super AMOLED display it runs I am sorry to report Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich jelly bean is expected sometime later in the year there's only 8 gigs of internal storage but there is a microSD slot so it's expandable to 32 gigs not 64 there's also an 8 megapixel camera and the international version has a dedicated camera button more importantly and this is the reason that we wanted the razor eye here's what the press release has to say about the toughness of this phone designed with premium protective materials razor eye is built to go everywhere a diamond-cut aircraft-grade aluminum floor frame surrounds the display which is made of corning gorilla glass to deflect both scratches and scrapes on the back razor eye is made of DuPont Kevlar strong three spilled coffee cotton the rain don't worry razor is protected with a splash guard coating even on the electrical boards inside it's like this thing was custom designed for our torture chamber frankly I consider all that a challenge now as I mentioned it's very similar to the Droid Razr em were not likely to see the eye here in the US so let's hear about what we're gonna get stateside it has the same 4.3 inch screen with the edge to edge bezel and Super AMOLED display the same Kevlar backing it weighs just 4.4 ounces and it has the same 8 megapixel camera a micro SD card slot for expanding the onboard memory a front-facing VGA it is also running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich even though Google owns Motorola and here in the u.s. it does run 4G LTE on Verizon but that is not all razors just keep coming today this we actually sent someone right down to the store because this was just released on the day that we're taping is the new razor max HD we're gonna find out if Alina foo wants to keep it and unbox it for your viewing pleasure alright so this is an update to the original Droid RAZR MAXX the main difference is that it's a lot bigger it goes from the now kind of dinky seeming 4.3 inches to a 4.7 inch display and then you remember the deal with the razor max is that it's supposed to have all-day battery life considering that this is a 4.7 inch display and it's running 4G LTE if that's true this phone's gonna be pretty popular except for the always legendary crappy Motorola cameras sorry guys all right let's see here pretty fancy box apparently square power bricks or just it now there's it charging cable and that appears to be it no headphones okay let's look get to the actual phone it's pretty thin relatively speaking it's got that kind of cool Kevlar looking backing let's fire it up definitely feels more premium than the razor ham which it is the razor M is designed to be sort of a lower end phone let's power this on and let's go through the specs it has this nice big 4.7 inch HD AMOLED display it runs at 1280 by 720 resolution it has a one-and-a-half gigahertz dual-core Snapdragon s4 processor but a somewhat paltry one gigabyte of onboard RAM it's available on Verizon on their 4G LTE network there's 32 gigs of storage that's expandable through a microSD card there's an 8 megapixel camera capable of shooting 1080p HD video it does have an HDMI port so that you could show some of that video on your TV it ships with I am once again sorry to reports Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich even though Google owns Motorola more importantly it has the same 3300 milliamp battery as the original max so three perfectly serviceable droids I have to say if I were gonna pick one I would probably go for the cheaper one the max HD is a really nice phone it's obviously premium beautiful screen and I'm sure the battery life is great but if I were looking for a droid running last year's operating system I wouldn't want to pay that much for it I mean I'm sorry I know maybe some people don't care about having the latest and greatest OS but I cannot in good conscience really recommend a phone that isn't running the latest version of the software for security reasons and usability jellybean is really good Google give it to people anyway there you go three perfectly nice razors
