Motorola is pushing forward with the second generation of its Droid RAZR family brand and just announced the Motorola Droid RAZR HD. The trademark slender body of the handset has been changed up a big, but it's still more compact than a Samsung Galaxy S III or HTC One X.
As the name suggests, the Droid RAZR HD has a larger 4.7" edge-to-edge LCD of 720p resolution and ColorBoost technology (like in the Atrix HD).
The back of the device is again made of Kevlar, but this time it wraps around the edges of the headset too. The camera here is an 8MP snapper with 1080p video recording and LED flash.
The RAZR HD is powered by a Qualcomm chipset with a dual-core Krait CPU, 1GB RAM and Adreno 225 GPU. It will be running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. It will be upgraded to Jelly Bean later on - of course, Motorola is a Google company and we expected nothing less.
Chrome will come pre-installed on the new DROID RAZRs, and Motorola was keen to point out how fast it is.
The battery on the Motorola Droid RAZR HD is 2,500mAh, so battery life should still be good with the power-efficient 28nm Qualcomm cores. For example, it offers 16 hours of talk time, nearly as much as the DROID RAZR.
There will be a Motorola RAZR HD MAXX too - it offers up to 21 hours of talk time, 27 hours of music streaming and 10 hours of video streaming. Impressive indeed.
Other interesting features on the HD include NFC connectivity. The LTE-touting Motorola Droid RAZR HD will launch on Verizon.
