When the original Motorola RAZR flip phone was unveiled in 2004, it became an instant status symbol. And after selling more than 130 million units, the super-thin mobile is easily still one of the most iconic cell phones of all time. Now, the RAZR is back — and with a whole new look. The Droid RAZR, unveiled this week, is a lot thinner than the iPhone, boasts 4G speed, and features an impressive 4.3-inch touchscreen. Does it beat out other smartphones as the best Android on the market?
The new RAZR is worthy of the crown: "The Motorola Droid RAZR has replaced Samsung's Galaxy S II as the best Android device I've ever used," says Jonathan S. Geller at Boy Genius Report. And it runs on Verizon, "the fastest network in the country." While using it with one hand can be "tricky" if you're not used to devices with big screens, its "beautiful design, an amazing display and a thin profile" make it "worthy" of RAZR's proud heritage.
