Screen
Motorola Droid Razr HD | Rated 80% by by c|net (Oct, 2012)It’s much sharper than the first Droid Razr’s display, which has a qHD resolution (960 x 540) but produces the same vivid colors because both devices use AMOLED screen technology.

Motorola Droid Razr HD | Rated 100% by by Ladouche (Oct, 2012)The display is equal quality compared to the s3, as well as brightness, which could be a little higher on both phones in my opinion.
Battery

Camera
Motorola Droid Razr HD | Rated 100% by by Michael-GirardoThe camera takes better pictures than the 8MP camera on the Droid X. If you want a high quality camera, get an actual camera.
Motorola Droid Razr HD | Rated 80% by by R.-Seward (Feb, 2013)Although a better camera would be really nice; I have a DSLR that I use at events where I desire high quality photos so it wasn't a deal breaker for me, but for others it might be; especially because some of the competitors have really outstanding cameras.
Motorola Droid Razr HD | Rated 80% by by Michael (Feb, 2013)The Camera is not great, unless you're in good lighting and use the HDR setting.-Personally, I think the phone should have more RAM on it.

Motorola Droid Razr HD | Rated 100% by by odracir2388 (Oct, 2012)1/4"). I think Motorola did a pretty good job with the screen real estate on the phone and so the ratio of screen to phone is a lot larger on the HD than on my old X. I also love the huge notification light and it's placement right under the Motorola logo.
Motorola Droid Razr HD | Rated 100% by by nightshade--Nightshade (Feb, 2013)My girlfriend just got a Samsung S3 and I did not want to hurt her feelings, so I didn't say anything, but the Razr HD and the Maxx are just made so much better.

Motorola Droid Razr HD | Rated 80% by by Richard-J-Cantin (Apr, 2013)I can get almost 2-1/2 days on a full charge compared to the same usage on my old phone which was hard to squeeze a full day (12 hours) out of.
Motorola Droid Razr HD | Rated 100% by by odracir2388 (Oct, 2012)Battery life is amazing on this phone despite not being the MAXX.
