Motorola Razr brings 4.3-inch SAMOLED Gorilla Glass and more this November

October 18, 2011 | by Andrew Kameka

Motorola Mobility will resurrect its Razr brand with an Android twist next month. The incredibly popular name and phone provided to previous releases will be combined with the new direction of the company under the name of the Motorola RAZR. With an eventual rollout planned for every region in the world, the RAZR will go on sale beginning in November ($299 on Verizon Wireless. Pre-orders start Oct. 27th).

Durability is a major theme of the Motrola RAZR. The phone has a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass, the powerful glass type that has saved many phones from extinction due to dropping. The back also Kevlar fiber to prevent damage, and “every part of Motorola RAZR is protected by a splash-guard coating” that should make this phone even tougher to ruin. Folks who don’t like skins or cases on your phone may get some much-needed backup.

As for the internals, the phone packs a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 4G LTE on Verizon, 1 GB of RAM, and Android 2.3.5 with Motorola customizations. The rear camera records 1080p HD video through an 8 megapixel camera, and the front facing camera supports “HD” video as well, though I’m a little suspicious about how loosely Moto extends that tag on a front-facing camera.

The growing suite of enterprise and device management software is also present, as is the Motorola MotoCast streaming. The Lapdock 100 is supported for supporting a laptop mode similar to the Atrix, and other docks will be sold separately for connecting to television and audio systems. Expect to hear a lot about this phone fairly quickly.

I very much like this phone has to offer but I’m a little concerned with the fact the battery is not removable. What happens when the it wears out.
