Galaxy Nexus by Javyrmz (Jun, 2012)This phone has very many positive's the screen size, screen size, fast 1.2Ghz processor, Google apps, Google music, 720p display, great camera with no shutter lag and panoramic mode are great.
RAZR XT910 by Mike (May, 2012)The phone itself is very light yet seems to be tough and has a big screen, which I like.
screen resolution
Galaxy Nexus by Pedro-Gil-A (Feb, 2013)It is a good phone that works in the five bands used in cellular telephony, ie 3G works 850/900/1700/1900/2100 Mhz, your screen is 16 million colors with resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, size of 4.65 inches and has 316 ppi pixel density.
RAZR XT910 by GSM Arena (Nov, 2011)If you put the RAZR and the Galaxy S II side by side and look at text (or something else with a lot of detail), the Galaxy S II actually looks a little sharper even though it has a lower ppi.

Galaxy Nexus by MusicFan (Dec, 2011)Reinforced glass is nice too, really no need to put a screen protector on it and dull the clarity.-Processor speed.

thickness
Samsung Galaxy Nexus review | Rated 90% by by TrustedReviews (Feb, 2012)It's worth bearing in mind, though, that some phones do offer other advantages, such as the HTC Evo 3D's 3D camera and screen, the Motorola Razr's super slim design and solid build and the Motorola Atrix's clever laptop docks.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus review | Rated 90% by by TrustedReviews (Feb, 2012)Absolutely not, because it's partly this well-rounded booty that makes the Nexus feel more comfortable in-hand than super-slim phones like the Motorola Razr.
Motorola RAZR XT910 | by GSM Arena (Nov, 2011)There's no denying that the Motorola RAZR is a pretty unique handset - from its slim waistline, through the stand-out styling and finish, to hardware specs like a 4.3" qHD SuperAMOLED screen.
screen
Motorola RAZR XT910 | by GSM Arena (Nov, 2011)Motorola went for modern durable materials in the construction of the RAZR XT910 and the results are very good.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus review | by GSM Arena (Dec, 2011)You don't have to look to Samsung for a good AMOLED though - the Motorola RAZR XT910 has a 4.3" SuperAMOLED screen with qHD resolution.
Motorola RAZR XT910 | by GSM Arena (Nov, 2011)The Motorola RAZR runs a very recent version of Android and with a qHD screen and a powerful chipset, it should be able to handle most apps in there too.
type
Motorola RAZR XT910 | Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Apr, 2012)The Motorola Droid RAZR XT910 certainly isn't perfect with its slightly too large body, inelegant raised bezel and pentile AMOLED screen but it has so many other qualities that put it above the competition that on balance it's one we recommend.
resolution
Motorola RAZR XT910 | by GSM Arena (Nov, 2011)The Motorola RAZR produces fairly crisp photos, but quite grainy at times too, which reduces the fine detail.
design
Motorola RAZR XT910 | by GSM Arena (Nov, 2011)The original Motorola RAZR became a design icon and one of the most coveted phones in its time.
Competition What else you should consider
 | 1 | LG Nexus 4 Rated the best by consumers |
 | 2 | Sony Xperia S Sharpest screen |
 | 3 | HTC One X 2-way tie: Most CPU cores |
 | 5 | LG Optimus L9 Better than usual battery capacity |
 | 6 | Samsung Galaxy S II Least latency on actual networks |
 | 7 | Motorola RAZR i Longest battery life during active use |
