THE iconic Motorola Razr is back and this time with an Android flavour. Staying true to its past designs, the new model comes encased in a "razor-sharp" housing that measures a mere 7.1mm thin. It is also lightweight, tipping the scales at about 127g.
The smartphone has a sculpted glass face, aluminium accents and a 4.3in Super AMOLED Advanced display.
It also features a Kevlar fibre (yes, the same used in bullet-proof vests) strengthened back, stainless steel core and laminated construction frame, Corning Gorilla glass screen as well as a splash-guard coating to shield against water splashes.
Not banking on its looks alone, the Razr has 1GB of RAM, a 1.2GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 processor, Android 2.3.5 operating system and 16GB internal storage (expandable via a Micro SDHC card slot).
It also has a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera and an 8-megapixel main camera with 1080p HD video capture capability.
The smartphone also features the MotoCast app that allows users to stream or download content from a PC straight to the device.
Additionally the preloaded Smart Actions feature enables users to automate everyday tasks easily and enable better battery life, the company said. For example, it can turn down the ringer volume when you step into work, change the Bluetooth and GPS settings when you are at home to save on battery, or send a text to someone if you miss their call.
Motorola also plans to launch a slew of optional accessories that will turn the Razr into more than a mere smartphone - for example transforming it into a mobile cloud computing device, a HD media hub, a navigation device or even a stereo system, to name a few.
With the Motorola Lapdock 500 Pro, users will get the ability to edit documents and browse the Web with a full Firefox browser - all while charging the smartphone. The HD Dock or HD Station connects to your HDTV, speakers and other peripherals for large-screen entertainment while the navigation dock turns the Razr into a full-fledged GPS.
The Razr smartphone is available immediately at a suggested retail price of RM1,999 while the accessories will be made available soon. For more information, call BrightStar Corp, (03) 7960-4877.
