Description

The Droid RAZR from Motorola is an LTE handset exclusive to Verizon Wireless in the United States. Hardware specs include a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p video capture, Bluetooth 4.0 support, 16GB of storage (with an extra 16GB included on a microSD card), and a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD display. Extremely thin at just 7.1mm thick, the Droid RAZR also features a Kevlar backing for strength along with something that Motorola is calling Splash Guard — a nano-coating that protects components from splashes.

The HTC Rezound is an Android powered smartphone featuring a 4.3-inch display with a massive 1280 x 720 screen resolution, along with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, LTE data connectivity, Beats Audio, and an 8-megapixel camera that shoots 1080p video.

The Lumia 800 is Nokia's first Windows Phone handsets. The Lumia 800 is very similar to the Finnish company's N9 smartphone. Changes include a different processor, a smaller screen, the removal of NFC, and the change from the MeeGo OS. The Lumia 800 also has an added physical camera button. This phone is the flagship device of Nokia's first Windows Phone lineup.
