Motorola RAZR is currently undergoing a major duel in the test lab and during last night it was time for the first real battery tests. Despite a super-slim profile at low as 7.1 mm was the first RAZR phone in our tests to get around 10 hours of video.
Motorola has focused hard on the physical design of the RAZR and to reach its record-thin profile, the manufacturer has used the material Kevlar and had to lock the battery into the phone body. With a rather large and high resolution screen of 4.3 inches and a dual core processor at 1.2 GHz, we were a little worried that the energy would run away, something that could become a problem without being able to replace the battery.
But Motorola managed to push a battery of 1780 mAh which is fully competitive in the class, which together with the 4.3-inch display with Super AMOLED Advanced panel provides most impressive battery life at light loads.
Our video playback test, we have previously seen how AMOLED technology with its penchant for dark images done very well and with a more energy efficient - albeit less sharp - PenTile matrix in Super AMOLED Advanced makes it even clearer that the display panel is now the key to long battery life.
Motorola RAZR is the first Android smartphone we've tested where we can play a video in over 10 hours before the battery runs out of power. An impressive feat considering the phone's extremely slim profile and overall powerful hardware.
How Motorola RAZR stands up in general, we ask to come back with, but certainly we can add one of our fears aside. Battery life of the RAZR looks very promising and we have not begun to talk about the phone's Smart Actions to improve this further in everyday use.
Stay tuned for a complete review of the Motorola RAZR which we peering closely at everything from the new screen into its slim form.
