Contrast on the other hand is perfect, as it has always been on AMOLED screens, while the viewing angles and sunlight legibility are pretty good too.

Motorola has just launched an intriguing new mid- to high-end mobile phone the Motorola RAZR i. It packs in a superfast Intel processor and has a edge to edge screen that means you can get a large 4.3in screen in a phone little bigger than an iPhone 4S.

RAZR i by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)

It has a nice big screen (one of the main reasons I got it), but its surprisingly light, fits in my pants pocket, and is not too big to hold up as a phone to talk.

This means that even though its pixel density stands at the pleasing 256 ppi, the perceivable sharpness is far lower on many occasions.

RAZR i by GSM Arena (Oct, 2012)

The iPhone has an impressive display with 336 ppi (pixels per inch), but this phone has 440 ppi!

Droid DNA1.5 GHz

The processor doesn't benchmark too well though, even with the clock speed increase.

RAZR i by GSM Arena (Sep, 2012)

On an amazing smartphone, this is still the most amazing part.-Processor - The Snapdragon S4 pro is the fastest processor on the market right now, and HTC somehow manages to beat out the performance of several other phones that have it.
