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. Description	The LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus is exclusive to Verizon Wireless in the United States. In terms of hardware, the Galaxy Nexus features a 4.65-inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display, 32GB of on-board storage, 1GB of RAM, LTE 4G connectivity, and Near Field Communications technology.	The iPhone 4S has an overall design identical to the iPhone 4 and comes with exclusive support for Apple’s new Siri “intelligent assistant” and dictation system. As a global phone, the 4S supports both CDMA and GSM, which allows for easy global roaming. It has an updated camera with a 8-megapixel sensor that offers improved low-light performance and allows 1080p video recording. Additionally, models with 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB of storage are available.	The N9 is the only consumer handset from Nokia that runs the Harmattan version of MeeGo, a primarily mobile OS that was started by Intel and Nokia. The OS is centered around three homescreens that users can easily swipe to access. The phone itself features a convex curved glass AMOLED screen with a ClearBlack filter and a unibody polycarbonate shell.
