The Verdict:

Back in 2004, the RAZR took the mobile phone industry by storm thanks to its bold approach to design and became a smash hit with consumers.

The new RAZR has some big shoes to fill, but thankfully lives up to its name. This is the best looking phone of the year hands down.

While the large 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED Advanced display might seem too big for some, the RAZR makes up for it coming in at an ultra-thin 7.1mm and weighing 127g. It’s also very durable with a water-resistant coating.

Under the hood, the RAZR is no slouch either. It boasts a dual core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB DDR2 SDRAM, 16GB onboard memory with micoSD expansion and an 8-megapixel camera.

It even let’s consumers stream files from a home PC via the MotoCast app.

Performance wise, the RAZR is very fast and gets the job done with no noticeable lag. While not the best available, battery life was reasonable, getting through a solid work day with moderate use.

Overall, Motorola has delivered one of our favourite smartphones of the year that doesn’t have any major downsides. Highly recommended.
