The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is already making headlines long before its launch due to its roots. Meanwhile Motorola has just recently announced an addition to its RAZR lineup in the form of the Motorola DROID RAZR. How would this two stack up in a head on comparison?
The two devices are dual-core touchscreen candybars that will be running on the same operating system, although the DROID RAZR will have to wait for the Galaxy Nexus to debut with the Android OS 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) before actually getting the update itself.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is surprisingly the heftier device at 135 grams as opposed to the Motorola DROID RAZR which is only 127 grams. The DROID RAZR claims this round as being the thinner device at 7.1mm too, while the Galaxy Nexus is 8.94mm.
Maintaining the standard ‘large’ display dimensions at 4.3-inches, the Motorola DROID RAZR has a Super AMOLED qHD display that is reinforced with Gorilla Glass. On the other hand, the Galaxy Nexus overcompensates with its 4.65-inch screen, which features a whooping 1280 x 720 pixel resolution.
The Motorola DROID RAZR will have a bigger 1780mAH battery which offers up to 12 and half hours of talk time, though the Samsung Galaxy Nexus does not trail too far behind with its 1750mAH battery. Ultimately it boils down to usage patterns when it comes to lifespan for such devices.
While Motorola has been lagging in the smartphone race as of late, it seems they may be able to catch up with the DROID RAZR as it is a rather solid device, and we’re not even talking about its Kevlar-enforced body. If you seek an alternative that is comparable to Samsung’s best, bear in mind that by the time the Samsung Galaxy Nexus does become available, the DROID RAZR would have become slightly more affordable than its current asking price of RM 1999.
