Motorola Droid Razr M Platinum with blue buttons at Best Buy

Potential purchasers of smartphones will often like to see a number of colour options to choose from, and normally after a handset has been available for a few months a manufacturer will often increase the colour options on offer. This is what we are seeing with the Motorola Droid Razr M at best Buy that now have a model in platinum with blue buttons.

For those of you that are thinking of getting the Motorola Droid Razr M and want something a little different from the black, white, and pink handsets can get this stylish looking platinum model from retailer Best Buy.

The handset is priced at only $49.99 on the condition of a new two year contract being agreed to, which is exactly the same price Verizon Wireless will charge you. Other than the new colour the platinum Razr M is the same handset as before with its 4.3-inch display providing a resolution of 960 x 540.

Other features include a dual core processor clocked at 1.5GHz paired with 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage that is expandable via microSD card up to a further 32GB, eight megapixel rear facing camera, and a VGA shooter around the front.

The handset is listed as having Android 4.1 Jelly Bean straight from the box but if you want the handset without a two year contract it will set you back an eye watering $599.99. There won’t be many wanting to pay that much for a handset such as the Droid Razr M, but with a contract and the different colour many may be tempted. 


 

Motorola Droid RAZR comes in the form factor of a slate with a diamond-cut aluminum chassis. The display is a 4.3 inch qHD (540 × 960) Super AMOLED Advanced PenTilecapacitive touchscreen that is covered by scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass with an oleophobic fingerprint-resistant coating.

The back cover is made with DuPont Kevlar fiber surrounded by a plastic structure. The internals of the Droid RAZR are packed the smartphone construction technique Component Lamination, which physically bonds each layer of components to each other to provide a stronger body. The whole phone is covered by an invisible layer of splash-proof nano coating, which makes the phone water-resistant to occasional liquid splashes.

The Droid RAZR features four touch-capacitive buttons with the respective functions of menu, home, back and search. It uses a dual microphone system for noise reduction.

The phone comes preinstalled with Android version 2.3.6 Gingerbread. It uses a modified user interface called Motoblur that is focused in social networking. The main features of Motoblur in the Droid Razr are:

    Unified Contacts. The contacts from all services are unified and duplicates are removed.

 This is often a source of errors as it has troubles distinguishing between unique contacts and copies.

    Google apps. By default all the Google Apps present in the Stock Android are included, with the a modified UI and with Motorola services embedded.

    Smartactions. A Motorola app designed to automate tasks based on a wide range of triggers such as; time, location, battery charge, Wi-Fi network, etc.

The Droid RAZR is upgradeable to version 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. The release of the update (soak test) began on March 8, 2013 for Verizon Wireless Users. The official Over the Air (OTA) update was released soon after.
