DROID RAZR by Casey (Sep, 2012)I really like the fact the phone is smaller but still has a nice size screen and the phone seems solid in my hands but light.
screen resolution
DROID RAZR by The Verge (Nov, 2011)Sure, other handsets have higher-resolution displays and faster processors, but only the Droid RAZR squeezes a full set of competitive state-of-the-art specs and an LTE radio into a body just .28-inches thick — a profile thinner than any other modern smartphone available.

DROID RAZR by Brennan-Hamilton (Jan, 2013)I'm using MIUI and I'd say the dual core processor does just fine.

DROID RAZR by The Verge (Sep, 2012)It’s not without its faults, I would have really loved to seen a higher resolution display and better camera, but for the most part, there’s a lot to like here.
DROID RAZR by TrustedReviews (Apr, 2012)Pictures, likewise look good with the 8 megapixel sensor picking out plenty of detail, but we're only talking about this phone being on par with most of 8 megapixel phones, not surpassing them.

DROID RAZR by Eric-Lobdell--Returning-the-favor (Feb, 2013)But battery life is quite good, build quality excellent, no issues with call quality or reception, wifi is reliable, and I think I only shut down the phone once in the first two months I owned it.
DROID RAZR by c|net (Sep, 2012)With it you can have the phone shut down its data connection at night to conserve battery life or, say, automatically connect to Wi-Fi when its GPS sensor realizes you've arrived home.

Screen
Motorola DROID RAZR | Rated 83% by by c|net (Sep, 2012)The screen offers high contrast, wide viewing angles, and colors that pop.
Motorola DROID RAZR | Rated 83% by by c|net (Sep, 2012)Detail in 720p video files was also sharp, and as with many AMOLED screens, viewing angles were nice and wide, allowing me to see the display well from off-center angles.
Motorola DROID RAZR | Rated 70% by by The Verge (Nov, 2011)It’s just unfortunate Motorola had to sacrifice display quality as well.
