hey guys it's Joe with pocketnow.com I got thinking while I was using this brand new at Droid Razr HD how does it stack up as far as look and feel to its predecessor just the standard Droid Razr just go take a look before I give things away can you tell which of these two devices is the Motorola Droid Razr HD and which one is just the standard Droid Razr not even the RAZR MAXX alright times up this one is the HD this one is the standard razor released about a year ago let's start with some differences up here on the top you're gonna notice you've got the Motorola logo much smaller then over here the reason for that they're freeing up all of this space in the middle too to let you have a really really nice big screen over here the screen starts about here and ends about here whereas on the HD it starts here and comes all the way down to here now they've done some things to make that work over on the razor this the camera is right underneath this branding along with some of the ambient light sensors and whatnot over here it's kind of moved up and over to the side making a lot better use of the space up here you've also got your sensors over on this side as well as far as notification LEDs go this Motorola logo kind of has a little underline beneath it a little clear plastic well something whereas over here not so much that's because this entire thing all the way underneath the Motorola logo is your notification LED this thing is huge you've just got to see it to believe it it's amazingly huge over here on the side the razor being on the bottom you'll notice we've got a little thumb nail operated door where we can get in and add a micro SD card and our SIM no power port or HDMI port on this side of the razor on the HD you've got that little hole that you poke that special tool into rotating around to the top this is where the standard razor has those two ports that we just mentioned as well as its headphone jack over on its big brother the HD headphone jack on the top the other ports we just talked about on the side moving around to the right side of the device power and volume up and down are in the same place so if you're familiar with this button orientation you're gonna be right at home most people are measuring the thickness of the razor at 7.1 millimeters they don't however include the camera bump see how that's kind of a bumped out there quite a bit it's a nice place to rest your finger and helps you hold on to this otherwise small device over on the HD you might not even notice but there is a very very slight camera bump it starts about here and goes up to the top very very slight it is a little bit thicker this coming in at eight point four millimeters rather than seven point one but I don't mind that thickness at all it feels really really good it feels like it should let's get to the guts inside the devices you've got a TI OMAP processor it's 1.2 gigahertz dual-core over in the razor in the razor HD that's bumped up to the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon s4 plus not the pro that we're seeing in some of the other really high-end devices but the plus which isn't a bad thing that's still very very high-end it's a very nice processor and it's dual-core clocked at 1.5 gigahertz and of course uses that crate architecture that we've been so looking forward to batteries over here 1780 milliamp hours compared to 2530 so not quite as much as the RAZR MAXX but so far battery life hasn't been a problem so that's kind of a walk-around of the hardware let's go ahead and take a look a little bit at the software kind of a fun unlock screen here where we can select what tasks we want to go to so just go ahead and unlock very smooth very fluid you'll see more of this of course in the full review over at pocketnow.com so comparing the to the old razor to the new razor HD 4 pocket now I'm Levi and thanks for watching
