Motorola Razr Vs iPhone 4S

Razr’s silver-light look can fool you any time don’t be such a fool it’s just 7.1mm thick but Moto’s latest smart phone should hold it’s own against the sturdy iPhone 4S in drop test.RAZR’s body is made from Kevlar plus also the Gorilla Glass over the screen with special coating , called Splash Guard, protect the RAZR’s from within making it safe.Also the iPhone 4′s slick but solid build with one home button looks cool as compare too the RAZR that has instead gone for super-slim with a bump up top with four capacitive Android buttons below the screen.Now it depends on the owner what he decide whether he like a bit more room in his pocket or he is willing to sacrifice space for the iPhone’s minimalist looks.

The Motorola Droid RAZR is one of the most-hyped phones in recent memory. But you don't need to think back too far to recall the months of rumors and speculation surrounding the Apple iPhone 4S. So now that the RAZR is available, how does it stack up to Apple's month-old iPhone? We've compiled specs for each phone in the table below to find out. Priced at $299.99 with a two-year contract, the Droid RAZR is astoundingly thin, at just 0.28 inches. But it manages to pack in a dual-core 1.2-GHz TI OMAP 4 processor, 4.3-inch Super AMOLED advanced qHD display, and 8-megapixel rear camera with 1080p video recording. There's also 16GB of internal storage, along with a 16GB microSD card, expandable to 32GB. And of course, there are the numerous accessories, not included, that can transform the RAZR into other devices, such as a laptop (via a laptop dock similar to the one available for the Motorola Atrix 2 and Droid Bionic). The RAZR is shipping with Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread), but Motorola has said that it will receive an update to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) in early 2012.

The iPhone 4S ($199.99—$399.99 with a two-year contract), meanwhile, is powered by Apple's new dual-core A5 chip, which Apple claims can deliver up to two times more power and seven times faster graphics performance than the iPhone 4. In addition, the iPhone 4S is a world phone, meaning it supports both CDMA and GSM networks. It has an 8-megapixel rear camera with 1080p video capture, and is available in 16, 32, or 64GB versions.


While the specs for both phones are relatively similar, one of the biggest differences is that the Droid RAZR taps into Verizon's 4G LTE network, while the iPhone 4S uses 3G. While Verizon's 3G network offers excellent coverage, it is no match for the blazing speeds devices can reach over 4G LTE. In testing speeds on the Droid RAZR, we saw downloads range from 3 to 16 Mbps down. That's significantly speedier than 3G, over which we saw an average of 0.76 Mbps down when we tested for the Fastest Mobile Networks earlier this year. Then there are some features you can't compare in a spec box: like the diamond-cut aluminum accents, tapered corners, stainless steel core, and laser-cut woven Kevlar fiber that make up the Droid RAZR; or the impossibly sharp retina display and beautiful industrial design of the iPhone 4S. So which phone is the winner? Judging by specs alone, there is no clear cut answer.

Motorola RAZR vs iPhone 4S – Screen

The none other than the iOS 5 brought some slick, and mind-boggling features to the iPhone – like iMessage, a pull-down notifications bar, smooth Twitter integration, Newsstand and on the iPhone 4S, the voice-activated assistant Siri which has rocked the market. But as of now with the Android’s just-announced Ice Cream Sandwich, many are getting excited about features like resizeable and scrollable widgets, folders for your apps, new photo editing functions, a revamped contacts book and up to 16 tabs for web browsing. Watch this space for an Android 4.0 hands-on. Motorola RAZR vs iPhone 4S – Camera If you wanna take a closer look both the RAZR and the iPhone 4S sport a 8MP rear camera and both have made the leap to shooting 1080p HD video and while Ice Cream Sandwich does have a new photo editor, with live effects, panoramic mode and instant Google+ upload, there are so many photo editing and effects apps for both iOS and Android. VERDICT:Our hands-on time with the RAZR (minus Ice Cream Sandwich, for now) will give us more of an idea of how much we want one but already Motorola has unleashed an impressive spec sheet on us. It matches the iPhone 4S on performance, camera and build and edges ahead with its superior battery life and bigger screen. So if your feet are firmly planted on Android’s soil, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus isn’t your only top-end option this year.So it’s better to think twice before buying.

Unless you check out the RAZR’s qHD and Super AMOLED display, no one can comment on the screen quality – but everyone is excited about how it will square up to the iPhone 4S’s Retina Display. Expect vivid colours and stunning 960×540 resolution.But when it comes to screen Motorola wins hands-down – the RAZR packs a 4.3inch screen, taking up most of its front side whereas we didn’t get the increase in size that we were hoping for from Apple – so we’re stuck with 3.5in movies and music videos Motorola RAZR vs iPhone 4S – Power and performance Motorola RAZR’s 1.2GHz dual-core processor and the iPhone 4S’ dual-core A5 chip shoot them both straight to the top of the class in terms of performance – both phones should let you browse, run apps and play games without any lag or irritating crashes if that is at it’s best users will be happy wholeheartedly. Motorola has packed 1GB of RAM into the RAZR versus 512MB for the iPhone 4S and while the iPhone 4S is available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models, the RAZR has 16GB of storage and will play nice with a 16GB micro-SD card. Since the RAZR edges ahead of the iPhone 4S in terms of battery life – its 1780mAh battery lets you spout nonsense for 12.5 hours of talktime and lasts for almost 9 hours of video playback. The iPhone 4S does improve on its predecessor – it can now last 8 hours of talktime on 3G and 14 hours on 2G now that sound’s great Motorola RAZR vs iPhone 4S – OS and apps To be honest as a developer myself ,Apps-wise developers still tend to start with an iOS app or game before moving onto Android but both the App Store and the Android Market now offer more choice than you’ll ever need, with new additions flying at us daily.As for OS, we were satisfied enough with a Gingerbread-toting Motorola RAZR but now we’ve learned that RAZR owners will be enjoying some Ice Cream Sandwich action come early 2012 we’re torn between the two big mobile operating systems.Both are equally good...so i leave it for you to decide...

Nokia lumina

There's a lot more hype surrounding the Lumia 800 than the HTC and Samsung Windows Mango phones probably because the Lumia was supposed to be Nokia's great ‘comeback'. Nokia has played its cards carefully with the Lumia, and the company supposedly worked very closely with Microsoft to bring the full Windows Mango experience to users. I'll be the first one to admit that the result is beautiful.

The Lumia 800 is available in three colours – Black, Fuschia and Cyan. While the Black unit looks a lot more professional, the Fushcia and Cyan units are younger and more playful. The body is encased in a polycarbonate shell, which is durable and not prone to scratches, unlike its metallic counterparts. The 3.7-inch glass display has a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass which makes it scratch-resistant, and Nokia has sucked all the air out between the display and the body, so there's no gap between the screen and the side – it looks like one big, smooth unit. If you observe the phone from the sides, you'll see that the glass curves towards the edges, and adds softness to the four sharp corners.

The volume rocker switch and power button are on the side, as is a dedicated camera button which turns on the camera with a single press. The bottom has a speaker grille which also encases the microphone. There's some fancy engineering on the top panel which houses the micro SIM and mini USB port. The USB port opens with a sort of lever mechanism which requires you to press down on one side of the panel to snap open the flap. Next to that is the SIM card slot, which you have to push sideways for it to pop open – but you can only do this when the USB slot is open. It's fancy, but a bit too much effort for my liking. It's also quite flimsy - when I accidentally dropped the phone the SIM card slot popped open. There's no micro SD card slot for storage expansion – you have to make do with the 16GB of internal storage you get.

So is this your phone ??? Are you truly, madly, deeply in love with the Windows Phone operating system? If you're not screaming out "YES! YES! YES!" right now then this phone is not for you.The Lumia 900 is a big show pony handset for people who spend their weekends and evenings penning love sonnets to Microsoft's OS. For everyone else, your hard-earned cash would be better spent on an Android or iOS handset.

Rival smart phones in the 900's price range typically boast multi-core chips -- something Windows Phone doesn't currently support. Many also have better cameras such as the HTC One X or Apple's current super-phone, the iPhone 4S. And when it comes to apps, the Lumia is still the laggard behind iOS and Android.

While cheaper Lumias, such as the 710, pack in a lot for the cash you're spending, here at the tippety-top of the range, Nokia and Microsoft's love-in just isn't such good value for money.

And even if you're Windows Phone's biggest fan, the Lumia 900 is still a hard sell since it's not a huge upgrade on the Lumia 800. Both phones offer essentially identical software and very similar hardware. Lumia 900 buyers are basically paying a premium for a front-facing camera and a larger display.

The 900 is certainly a nice-looking phone -- but the 800 is the most attractive of the Lumia bunch. So even on design grounds, the Lumia 900 isn't the winner. The Lumia 900 has a 4.3-inch ClearBlack AMOLED display. The theory behind Nokia's ClearBack screen tech is it makes blacks look really black, helping surrounding colours to pop out. It gives the screen good contrasts, even in strong daylight. I was hard-pressed to find any sunshine amid the classic British spring weather during testing. But on cloudy days at least, the screen is easy to view outdoors.

The display generally looks bright and colourful, with blacks appearing velvety and deep. As is typical of AMOLED screens, colours can appear over-saturated, while the 900's whites have a slight yellowy hue.

Unlike the Lumia 800, the 900's screen is not curved at the edges -- it's stamped straight onto the face of the phone. There's also a thin raised plastic bezel dividing it from the casing plastic so the look is less fluid, even though both phones share the same basic handset shape.
