The differences in thickness and weight are imperceptible. You're buying either of these phone primarily for the juice, so it's worth ponying up the extra hundred for more. If you can't afford it, the RAZR HD still has great battery life...Computerworld80Motorola Droid Razr HD review: How phones should bWith its rugged build, outstanding battery life and close adhesion to Android 4.x design standards, the Razr HD presents an impressive overall package that stands out from the pack and earns a well-deserved spot among the Android elite.Engadget80Droid RAZR HD and RAZR MAXX HD reviewThe Droid RAZR HD combines unmatched battery life with top-shelf materials and rock-solid performance.PC Mag80Motorola Droid Razr HD (Verizon Wireless)The Verizon Wireless Motorola Droid Razr HD represents a happy medium between the smaller Razr M and the more-expensive Razr Maxx HD.Laptop Magazine70Motorola Droid RAZR HD (Verizon) ReviewThe Motorola Droid RAZR HD gives users a fantastic display and fast performance in a slim and strong design, but the camera could be better.CNET80Motorola's sharpest Razr yetMotorola’s lovely new Droid Razr HD is fast and thin, but its weak camera should make mobile shutterbugs wary.TechHive90Review: Motorola Droid Razr HDBy uniting a high-quality display with speedy 4G LTE and all-day battery life, Motorola has made a very impressive smartphone.SlashGear80Motorola DROID RAZR HD ReviewHere we’re working with another winner ... we’ve got a fine example of an Android-running smartphone.PC World Australia90Motorola RAZR HD Android phoneThe Motorola RAZR HD's big battery definitely lasts a little longer than many of its competitors, giving it a slight advantage. This is a well-built smartphone with some intuitive software but the RAZR HD's industrial look and feel won't strike a positive chord with everyone.TechRadar80Motorola Droid Razr HD reviewUltimately, it's a very fine phone, but struggles to stand out amongst the competition.GottaBeMobile80Droid RAZR HD ReviewThe Droid RAZR HD is a high quality phone, one that can stand against the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S III on Verizon’s network.Android Central80Motorola DROID RAZR HD review [Rogers]If you’ve got the money for it, the Motorola RAZR HD is a top-notch Android handset that with a strong build and solid battery life.TrustedReviews80Motorola Razr HD reviewOn paper the Razr HD may not look all that tempting an option given its fairly modest spec.

We highly recommend it. - EngadgetEngadget Reader90November 18, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I am reviewing the Rogers version of the RAZR HD LTE. The first thing I noticed on this phone was the speakers amazing loudness. But seriously, forget about the Galaxy S3 - this thing is competing with my alarm clock.The second thing I noticed on this phone was that the screen is amazingly beautiful - coming from a Galaxy Nexus (which compared to today's standards is nothing short of underwhelming). The third thing I noticed about this phone was that the battery life is great, I charged this thing to 50% and got almost 4 hours of NONSTOP USAGE battery life out of it,The fourth thing I noticed was that HDR shots in the camera were well detailed and beautifully exposed. But without that setting they were over exposed and slighly blurry. But there is no "rendering" time between as with other cameras, there's no rendering time for panoramas either. Also there are many settings such as stereo, concerts and high wind sound settings for video and time lapse, slow motion, timer settings, and quick shots (Takes 6 simultaneous photos).The Motorola smart actions are really helpful and suggest certain modes based on the way you use you phone - it sounds gimmicky, but it works. IT WORKS.Some letdowns are:The camera softwareThe Motorola software in General has a few annoying glitches such as not being able to select a name from a list because the fade in and out animations keep playing - but that was an isolated issue to a friend named Jaiden.Annoying Rogers Bloatware that cannot be disabled.Ships with Android 4.0.4 but an update has been announced for late December to Jelly Bean.Overall, the Motorola RAZR HD LTE is a great phone that you should spend some time thinking about. It can be found for $400+ online as well as $99 on Contract at Rogers.Engadget Reader100October 21, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!got the phone yesterday, amazing call quality and it feels very sturdy. The screen is fantastic and everything looks crisp and clean. I wish they would of upgraded the camera but it is still decent. I can't wait for Jellybean!
