Droid RAZR - 1st Impressions

2011-10-18
what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here much like a tease fashion and disco the razor is back if you don't remember what the razor was it was the flip phone that really changed the flip phone industry developed in 2003 and released in 2004 it this guy was razor thin and it defined Motorola and to find Motorola so much they spent the next few years releasing rehashed versions of the razor but the name is back this time it's a smartphone and we've got the Droid Razr by Motorola let's talk about it so today October 18th Motorola took the wraps off the droid razr in New York City and this guy packs a lot of punch it's really aimed squarely at the droid bionic in verizon's lineup right now it is a verizon exclusive so let me run through all the beautiful specs that this guy has first 4.3 inch qhd Super AMOLED screen so pretty beautiful screen 1.2 gig I always feel like I'm making it back to the future quote when I say that what would point through what do you go on okay whatever one printer gigahertz dual-core processor a 1 gig of ram Verizon's incredibly fast a 4G LTE and that's true for g 8 megapixel rear facing camera can shoot 1080p video it's becoming pretty standard and also has image stabilization technology for crisp and clear videos or so says Motorola's PR it's got an HD forward facing camera for video chat over LTE 3g or Wi-Fi kind of cool you can video chat over 3g or probably super choppy it look like you're looking at a strobe light like a what nuku 210mm 32 gigs of memory 16 gig on board with 16 gig micro SD card of course you can up that as well that'll be pre-installed though the actual 4matic capacity is probably going to be for a bit less gorilla glass screen Kevlar build materials I wouldn't make a flak jacket out of the same but it will be pretty durable a 12.5 hours of talk time eight point nine hours of video playback which is pretty impressive this phone is incredibly thin its razor so you'd expect it to be so with 7.1 millimeters thin it's got a motorola splash guard to protect it from life's little accidents and funnily enough the battery sealed inside of this thin guy which also rocks that sort of droid hump that we've seen on a lot of the droid phones so this phone is absolutely expect to the gills but the timing is a bit curious so I mentioned that today is the 18th later on tonight google is taking the wraps off of ice cream sandwich their latest build of android this guy is running gingerbread seems a bit odd this would be a top-tier phone to be a phone that would presumably go head-to-head against the soon to be announced Galaxy Nexus but with an outdated operating system so that is a bit odd i think is going to hinder some people's purchases i know if i was looking to get a new smartphone and i was jazzed up and i wanted the most powerful one out there and then I knew that was running an outdated OS you never know when a new OS is going to come carriers and manufacturers usually just say soon it's kind of disappointing pre-orders for this guy are going to be starting october 27th if you are interested i'll be available early november for 209 2999 so just under three hundred dollars if you don't mind then it's going to be rocking gingerbread presumably ice cream sandwich at some point it's a pretty badass phone brings a lot to the table and a really really really thin form factor you guys know I'm a big fan of Verizon's 4G LTE network the speeds are blazing fast if you happen to be in an area where 4G is an ever-expanding this is an awesome phone so is ice cream black of ice cream sandwich at launch going to be a big detriment for you you care not care I'm really excited to get my hands on this phone just from a design standpoint I think it's really cool Motorola is doing and that's really one of the beauties of Android you could have a ton of different form factors if you want a slab form factor you've got that if you want a qwerty keyboard you've got that if you want a portrait slide out keyboard you've got that a landscape keyboard you've got that you're stand what I'm saying here lots of options in the Android world I am curious to see the camera though 1080p really doesn't mean much if the bit rates bad so we really want to see what it's going to look like when we can finally blow it up on a giant screen but now I'm just rambling I want to see what the droid grades are going to look like we will have it right here in our offices to unbox and show you this ice cream sandwich matter to you is it just make you hungry you not even know why we're talking about desserts want to hear from you too i'm jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo and i'll see you guys the next video buh-bye you
