February 5th, 2012 | Mobile Phone Reviews, Motorola

There are a large number of Motorola mobile phones available for purchase.   However, Motorola continue to lead the market with the latest smartphone technology.  Three of the latest such models include the Motorola Atrix, the Motorola Defy and the latest Motorola Razr, an ever popular model for the Motorola brand.

The Motorola Atrix smartphone boasts a touch screen and an enormous range of integrated features bursting with the latest technologies to make life simpler, offering great communication features including 3G and Wi-Fi functionality.  Atrix has Orange network exclusivity, and operates on a dual core processor and the Android operating system version 2.2.  The phone has 16GB of memory and 1GB RAM, as well as a 5 megapixel camera with video record, an FM radio with RDS and a music player.  The model also has a Motorola MOTOBLUR user interface and is easily customised to suit individual user requirements.

The Motorola Defy supports a wide range of technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB connectivity.  It also boasts a wide range of features, including GPS and Google maps navigation, music player, 5 megapixel camera and video recording.  It is encased in an attractive sleek black case, and also features a well-designed touch screen and QWERTY keyboard.  The Defy also operates on Android version 2.1 with the MOTOBLUR user interface.

The new Motorola Razr smartphone raises the bar from previous models.  It comes with the latest technologies, including Android version 2.3.5, a dual core 1.2GHz processor and an 8 megapixel camera with HD video record, as well as a 1.3 megapixel camera for video calling.  The casing is of an extremely high quality and the phone comes with a 4.3 inch 16 million colour touch screen protected by a scratch resistant glass.  The ever-popular super slim design measures only 7.1mm in depth, making it glamorous, sleek and easy to carry.

Motorola Razr Smartphone Review

January 29th, 2012 | Mobile Phone Reviews, Motorola, Touchscreen

The Motorola Razr features 1.2 GHz dual core processing with a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED screen and an advertised 12.5 hours of estimated talk time.

Physically, the Razr is an attractive design with a series of subtle features setting it apart from other handsets.  At its slimmest point, the handset is 7.1 mm thick and weights a light 127 grams.  The back panel is Kevlar, making the unit feel quite sturdy and solid, but this also reduces flexibility, which can mean that it sits uncomfortably in your hand.  Some may also find the large bezel off-putting.

Key to this handset is the vibrant display and quick processing power.  The user interface is also well designed and breaths a bit of life into the aging Android 2.3.5 OS powering the device.

The rear-facing camera is 8 megapixels and works best in good light conditions (the shutter speed slows dramatically in low light and with flash use).

Although this handset may never be an industry leader, it is still a win for Motorola, as this Motorola Razr review shows.

Overview of Android Apps

January 25th, 2012 | Google Android, Mobile Technology

During the last decade, Android smartphones have increased in popularity.  By the end of 2010, they were the best-selling type of smartphone around.  Google, in collaboration with a variety of companies interested in telecommunications, software and technology, has developed the Android OS.

Apps, which is short for applications, have been transformed into a huge commercial market.  The companies who developed Android, as well as other third parties, have seen the potential apps can have. 

An important sector of this industry is that of Android sat nav apps.  A lot of new Android smartphones come with GPS capability.  Apps like Google Maps enable the smartphone to be used as a satnav device, whether while driving in a car or simply walking about.  Another popular app that uses the GPS is Google Latitude, which enables your chosen friends and colleagues to know where you currently are. 

One hugely popular smartphone is the HTC Desire.  It offers a lot of functionality including a camera, HD video capability and a music player.  It also comes with a GPS as standard and has Google Maps pre-installed, as well as having a digital compass.

Overview of the HTC Incredible S

January 16th, 2012 | Google Android, HTC, Mobile Phone Reviews

The HTC Incredible S is an Android smartphone.  It is part of the latest range of mobiles to be developed by HTC.  It is has higher specifications and cost than the HTC Desire, but has fewer features than the superior Desire HD, though it is cheaper.  As this HTC Incredible S review will show, it is well-specified smartphone with some outstanding features.

It has a good screen size, which is reasonably bright for a good viewing experience.  As with a lot of recent phones it has two cameras.  The one on the front is ideal for videophone calls with its lower resolution.  As always, HTC Sense powers the interface on top of the Android platform.  The battery life is great for this mobile when compared to phones with similar specifications.  You can add a micro SD card containing an additional 8GB to store your favourite apps and songs.

The 8-megapixel camera is a little disappointing though, with picture quality being virtually the same as previous models with a lower specification.  It does allow for HD video though.  The screen size is great with 480 by 800 pixels in high colour in a 4-inch display.  The processor is the same as the Desire though, so do not expect any improved performance on high-end apps like games.  It is not a heavy phone either, weighing just 135.5g.  The interface is great, with four buttons positioned below the screen that glow to attract your attention when needed.

However, even with some small flaws, it is a great mobile.  Battery life compares favourably to similar phones, lasting over one and a half days with fairly heavy use.  If you are looking to replace your current phone then you could do much worse, so investigate some of the latest HTC Incredible S deals that are currently on offer.
