In today’s smartphone world, handsets now have become more than handsets packing things we can only imagine about say, a decade ago. For example, you can now use the handset to check your email or browse the web thanks largely to the connectivity options you can find in the smartphones of today. You can also play games and watch videos and your handset which led to the decline of interest for dedicated gaming consoles and personal media players which were a big hit back in the day. However, all these things led to handsets becoming bulkier than ever because designers and engineers had to cram a lot of bells and whistles in the innards of smartphones today.
The Motorola Droid Razr is available for just the change in your pocket now starting at $0.01.
However, if you rock a Motorola Droid Razr from Verizon for your mobile weapon of choice, bulk and heft should be the least of your concerns. After all, the handset with its 7.1 mm waistline is said to be one of the slimmest smartphones to be released in the market and shouldn’t take too much space on the front pockets of your denims due to its inherent “sexiness”. In addition to that, the catch weight of the Motorola Droid Razr is only at 127 grams despite its size so you shouldn’t have problems playing with the handset even for extended periods of time.
However, this is not the only good thing going on for the Motorola Droid Razr. Though there has been no confirmation coming from wither Big Red or Motorola about this but it looks like the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update is now being rolled out to the handset as we speak. As it stands, numerous reports have come in from users of the handset attesting to the fact that they have already received a notification that the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update can now be taken advantage of in their respective devices.
A little caveat though – the update takes forever to download and install (well, not really forever, but more like an hour or so) so a little patience is needed if you want to go through the whole process. But after everything has been set up, you will get access to Jelly Bean features such as Project Butter and Google Now and other goodies and treats that will make your aging Motorola Droid Razr 4G feel young all over again.
As for the Motorola Droid Razr, the handset relies on its Texas Instruments OMAP4430 chipset to power its operation under the hood and this SoC brings into play a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz and a full gigabyte of RAM. Storage space on the handset comes up to 16GB but a microSD card slot in its chassis enables a user to have the internal memory of the device expanded. In terms of its display, the Motorola Droid Razr sports a 4.3-inch SuperAMOLED panel with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels while its dual-shooter configuration features a main 8MP shooter at its back panel while its front bezel houses the handset’s front 2MP snapper.
You can purchase the Droid Razr with a few pennies now starting at $0.01.
