Ive decided to get a new phone (Well, actually my HTC decided for me by having its touchscreen die) but I'm not entirely sure what to get.
(The part that sucks about this, is all the new quadcore phones and iPhone 5 coming soon/later this year)
The Galaxy Note was just too big, so I've narrowed it down to the Galaxy Nexus, Moto RAZR and iphone4S. How have you found the GN to be? Is there anything I should keep in mind?
The RAZR and the GN have pretty much the same GPU/CPU combo, but the GN has a better screen, right? For those of you who have tried both, is there a major visible difference between the GN screen and the screen on the RAZR?
(Yes, I've heard all about the Pentile display, but it doesn't really bother me on the RAZR. I tried as hard as I can, and I can't tell the difference. Probably because the resolution is so high...)
The thing that's holding me back from the GN is the camera. I've heard that its fast, but not very good (Esp. compared to the iPhones camera) and at 5MP the resolution is pretty small these days.
The RAZR is kinda tempting because of all the accessories (Lapdock etc,) the ultra thin design, 8MP camera (Thou I've heard the quality is so-so) and being expandable up to 48 GB. But how is the camera on the RAZR? I've noticed it shoots pretty fast, but how does it compare quality wise?
I'm trying to keep ICS out of the equation, since the RAZR will have it soon.
And then theres the iPhone. I've heard the camera is awesome on it, it has a GPU that still can't be beat by any Android phone, and Apple is really awesome with providing updates quick, and for a long time after they released a phone. The thing that really holds me back though, is the 3.5 inch screen. Yes, it's an awesome screen, and amazing PPI, but I'm not sure I could get used to a screen that small after having an SGSII and Evo3D for a while with a 4.3 inch screen.
So yeah, is there anything about the RAZR I should know about? What phone would you choose if you haven't chosen what you have? And how do you find the battery life?
Dude it depends on your experience by using Android phones or IOS Phones for me 4s is better cuz it has lots of features when jailbreaked....About Nexus its cool but kinda "slow" IOS Has better speed and performance I mean NO LAGG at 4S
PLEASE GIMME THANKS!
From those 3 phones I would choose the Razr. The thing that is bringing up the thought of returning mine is the bootloader: will it get unlocked or not, if so when? The apple Iphone I would simply never ever consider it because the phone is so locked(no widgets etc) and the Gnex is awesome because there is so many roms+ unlocked BL. But if the RAZR gets the BL unloacked I think it will be a beast. The built quality is one of the best i`ve seen on an Android phone. Beats bith the Gnex and Iphone.

LOL my friend have both a Gnex and IP4S and I can see no diffrence, you must be blind or something. Also u need to jailbreak ur phone in order to take controll over it, pathetic.
GN for sure. More dev support.

My advice is the Razr as i have had a Iphone4s and nexus and a Galaxy S2
the razr is best in build quality along with the iphone4S
Iphone 4S is the most overrated hardware in this century so far i kept it for 1 day and sold it
While Samsung phones feel all cheap and nasty but have great features
The Razr is a great phone and its now my main phone , defo the best phone on the market at present
only bad side to Razr is locked bootloader and it doesnt have WIFI direct
great roms Icecream Sandwich roms already out put the phone to near full potential
Cant really fault this phone its the best by far
I came to the Razr Maxx from the Evo 3D. I loved the Evo 4G and Evo 3D. You won't notice anything about the screen that overly zealous people are complaining about on the Razr's screen. The screen is great. But get the Maxx. The battery lasts all day long. You'll really like that feature.
The Apple's screen is just too small. It would be nice if they released a phone with a bigger screen and loosened their control over the device just a bit. With Jobs dead now you would think that might happen but I wouldn't hold my breath. Afterall, why give the public something they might want. Apple knows best.
get an iphone kthxbai
For me decision to buy a razr was quite easy. I had 3gs & 2x iP 4 and I definitely didn't want to come back to this s#*%. I'm talking abt iTunes and othes "advantages" of IOS.
Samsung devices are realy high performance but.. looks and feels like a piece of crappy plastic. But I wanted nice and solid looking device.
Well, that's my story.

thanks whore.
I wouldn't add much to what everyone here has already said. It basically boils down to preference.
iPhone 4s has a really smooth interface and yeah iOS is optimized like ****! But then you're hardware support is gonna run out pretty soon cuz it has no dev community. Also if you're an experiment freak like me, you're gonna feel caged. You'll be stuck with an older version of iOS while all the newer Apple devices will get updated.
With Android that isn't the case, I still have my old 2010 SE Xperia X8 and even it's got an ICS port. So device support (at least unofficially) isn't an issue.
Now coming down to GNex vs. RAZR
RAZR wins out on almost every front. Better build quality, signal/reception, camera, call quality and GPS. A smaller screen and lesser res(it in no way looks pixellated or anything, the display is just beautiful but statistically lesser in res and size) with the same GPU as GNex means you'll get higher frame rates as games start taxing these GPUs. Also its the slimmest in the world(one of a kind) with a revolutionary design so you got bragging rights too!
The RAZR has a TI OMAP 4430, which is a lower model that GNex's TI OMAP 4460, but then their both clocked at 1.2 GHz. Untill we get overclocking support, you won't actually notice any difference at stock speeds.(please correct me if im wrong here)
The RAZR does lose out on the locked bootloader and direct update support. But we've heard from kholk that a bootloader bypass is on the way and also that Motorola is planning to unlock our bootloaders with the ICS update in Q2.
The fact that Gnex has ICS again doesn't matter much. ICS doesn't bring any thing really useful to the table. Its just like a hyper-optimized Gingerbread. No lags, smooth UI and all that ****.
The RAZR is scheduled for the ICS update anyways and I'm pretty sure that it'll see android 5.0 too!
PS: Even if the Gnex was better than the RAZR in every damned specification, I would still buy the RAZR. I just can't stand the plastic on Samsung phones. When the hell are they gonna learn that you don't put something as cheap as plastic on high end phones! :/
BTW tried to keep my thoughts as unbiased as possible. Hope it helped!
EDIT
Sorry forgot somethings!
Battery on the RAZR is awesome! I can easily get 1.5 days of normal usage with some wifi (no data however). Also you can use setCPU to lower processor speeds when the screen is off! Thats a big battery booster!
Battery Life Order:
RAZR>iPhone 4S> GNEX(Battery on the GNEX truly SUCKS!, idk what samsung was thinking)

All in what you want. IPhone has kinda a Fisher Price ui IMO. It is fast & smooth. And is missing lee capability. Screen is beautiful, but tiny.
Nexus has a cheap battery door. The camera is small, but fast. And there us no SD slot. Deal killer for me.
I have a couple Razr Maxx's. I love them. They are sturdy, and the battery life is phenomenal. Motorola Blur is coming along nicely. The smart actions are extremely handy, as is Motocast. HDMI has full mirroring, which is also nice. The nano-coating is not only water resistant, its fingerprint resistant. Bootloader is the only negative for this phone, unless you're looking for NFC or a barometer.
If u are a crack flasher, u might want the nexus. Otherwise, for something that just dominated out of the box, Maxx can't be beat yet IMO. Don't waste you're money on a og Razr. U will just end up frustrated with battery life.
Hey I would consider the rezound out of all of them. It has the best screen out with 720p 4.3" display, equal to the galaxy nexus but sharper. 32gb of storage, 8mp camera with 1080p recording. 2mp front face camera. Beats audio, Dual core 1.5ghz snapdragon processor. Dev support is outstanding. Mine is running android 4.0.3 ics and has face lock. Phone is the only one aside from the Thunderbolt that can talk and surf at the sametime on 3g and 4g. The other 4g phones on Verizon can only do it on 4g. It's rooted and has free WiFi tethering. The galaxy nexus is ok but it gets boring from times. Vanilla ics is ok for some. The 5mp camera was not that great and I dislike the fact that there is no external sd card slot. The only thing great to me about the nexus is getting the updates first. I wish HTC was still making the galaxy line up. The razr is ok. It has great signal, battery life is great. Screen is pretty good. I don't know if it's that new pin tile technology on the razor or not but I hate the pin tile. Looks grainy or something when looking at it close. I hate motoblur. The only thing nice about blur widgets were that they were resizable but they suck to me. There like windows phone 7 tiles without the live action. The rezound is a excellent phone in my opinion. HTC sense is just a better UI to me. Sense 4.0 is even better and runs very light on the Rom. Or with the rezound you can also go with the vanilla feel of ics. Screen is incredible. Music sounds amazing, never had a problem with signal. My battery life is great with dev support getting 14hrs out of my rezound with heavy use. Camera is beautiful.

The Sense UI on the HTC rezound actually makes the phone lag! Sorry dude, I hate Sense with a passion! Seen too many HTC phones with my friends. :/
And the 1.5 Ghz dual core processor isn't even a true dual core. Its more on a makeshift arrangement. Thats the reason why HTC Rezound is beaten by the RAZR and other TI OMAP dual core phones in benchmarks. And as far as Beats are concerned, its just a software equalizer, nothing else and its already been ported!
And an LCD display doesn't even come close to a S-AMOLED display when it comes to color contrast and brightness. Besides AMOLEDs eat less battery with dark colors!
Also the Rezound is bulky and HTC is probably gonna kill hardware support for it very soon in light of the new HTC One series release. So I don't think its that good an option.
Dont go the Apple way, I just did but couldnt go back, to many things is just missing.

It all depends on what you're looking for the most in using your phone. For me, getting all my calls, texts, and voice mails on time, are number 1 priority. And Motorola is known to make great wireless radios. The internet speeds are awesome on it. I love the Droid Razr. Not a big fan of the screen display technology but it's easy to get use to. Also not a big fan of the TI OMap processor, I think it's kinda slow but it's not a big enough issue to drive me away. It has a nice camera and it's a really nice smartphone. The build quality is fantastic in my opinion. The device just looks beautiful. I read and also have heard in videos that Motorola isn't gonna be seeing ICS updates until 3RD quarter of the year. That's pretty late. If you're thinking about getting the Razr, I would get the Razr Maxx. But the thing that sucks about the Maxx is that right now it only comes in black I believe. The OG Razr comes in black, white, and purple.
If you want the ICS OS right now or you plan to root and flash roms, your best choice is the Galaxy Nexus. Google phones are made for development. I expected something amazing with the Galaxy Nexus but it's ok to me. Only thing it has that I like is ICS. The display is ok. I expected better with 720p HD.
Iphone 4s has a great camera and screen display. It looks to be smooth when I play with it. I never owned one so I don't know. My friend who was an android head for years went to get a iPhone and he loves it. Says it's smooth no lag. Not as many bugs as android. I may have to mess around and get a iPhone in the future lol. But it would absolutely need to have a bigger screen and it would have to be a 4G device. The current screen size with iPhone is too small for my taste but hey some people might not care.
My friend bought a Iphone4S yesterday showed him my Razr running official ICS 4.04 , hes gonna return his phone for Razr Maxx when its out here in UK now
A lot of people will switch to Razr and Razt Maxx now ICS is here now
Can't wait for the official ics

Razr is not the best, because Razr Maxx is just one inch ahead of Razr.
After owning Razr/GNex/RazrMaxx this is my take.
Currently still owning both GNex and RazrMaxx
Iv had all the best android phones ,and an iphone4S but nothing compares to this phone it has the build quality that is the best iv seen , screen is great quality , even the built in speaker is real good quality sound , would give the Razr 9/10, Razr Maxx 9.5/10 because of ICS makes the big difference , Galaxy S2 7.5/10 , iphone 4S 7.5/10
I've owned just about every phone Verizon offers. Every phone has *something* I don't like. It's all about choosing the lesser of the evils. Apple is just too damn locked down. I will not own a stock Apple device and it really sucks that you have to stay behind in OTA's to keep jailbreak and if you accidentally accept an OTA or have to wipe for any reason you've pretty much lost JB for good. Even jailbroken it's limited, not to mention the small screen, and no free gps, and no 4G. I believe firmly that if the next Iphone doesn't have 4G, gps, and at least a slightly larger screen they're going to start losing business.
I had the Razr and wasn't pleased with it at all. The battery is par but you can't change it so you're constrained to a charger. I don't like Moto's locked bootloaders but it is really thin. So I picked up a Galaxy Nexus. That phone is perfect....except for battery life and no external sd slot. So when the Razr got the ICS leak I picked up a Maxx and updated it...and I haven't put it down since. Literally, this phone could go for days at a time on a full charge, which means I can go pretty much all day using the hell out of it, on constant 4G. At the moment, Razr Maxx is the undisputed champ of Verizon phones.

I had a galaxy S1 & S2 i did like the phones apart from the poor and cheap build quality , in your hand it felt like one of those toy phones you get from the local £1 shop , and speaker was poor compared to sound quality of Razr , only thing Samsung Galaxy S2 had better was the WIFI Direct option , Screen on Galaxy S2 was Super Amoled + , and Razr has Super Amoled Advanced , which has proved to be better in many different ways, The Razr/Maxx will still give the Quad Core phones like Galaxy S3 and HTX 1X a good run as quad is just a fad and not really required , all it does is drain battery even more on already power hungry smartphone devices, Look at Nokia Lumina 800 single core and it still kicks ass
i dont have a windows phone but from what most people in the trade and developers are saying that the next generation of Windows phones might take over top spot from Android in terms of OS user friendless , I hope not as i love Android
Having used many high end phones over many years I'd agree on build quality but that's not to say an issue, doing a screen comparison the razr has better clarity but seemed to loose definition, the power on razr is no where near sgsII even Sensation XE @ 1.5GHz comes no where near, been using razr for nearly week and yeah its a flagship device but on pure power user and being of ORD I'm slightly lost
It does look sexy though

To that I say bull****, but I agree with the rest. Screen matters too much for me to switch from my rezound to the razr maxx though. :3
rezound is whack and so is your opinion
Mod edit: No swearing on XDA in accordance with rules minors use the site.
I came from the rezound to the maxx. The rezound is a good phone. The screen is gorgeous. It is better than our panel in the maxx BUT I could hardly read my rezound w out cranking the brightness up. And its fat. I had the extended battery and actually liked everything about the rezound except the thickness and couldn't read it so well in bright light unless I cranked it up.
I have the 84 leak on my maxx and it is great! The little things about my maxx are fine. The screen is good bit not amazing. The battery is amazing.
All phones have strong points and weak points. Best? Top 5. There are many good choices.
Only thing missing is ICS to make the RAZR perfect (yes I know there is a leak out there but I dont want any t-mobile branded **** so I'll just wait for the official release)

Hi All,
I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. Let me elaborate:
[Background]
Currently on my first android phone, the LG Optimus One and considering it's almost a legacy phone, it has an active dev support and even JB Roms were made for this device. However, i'm currently using the MIUI ROM nd really loving it's interface.
[Current Scenario]
A friend of mine will be coming down from USA, and asked me if i wanted anything, So i thought it will be a good time to upgrade my phone, as i am really tired of installing a custom rom almost every other week, also tired of the legacy ARMv6 phone,
So i searched in newegg, amazon for a phone under 350 USD, and narrowed down to Xperia P and Galaxy Nexus.
Now, I know that if i get a Galaxy nexus, I'm sure i wouldn't have to worry about updates and the really strong dev support, but on the other hand I really love the looks of Xperia P. Also i feel a 4 inch screen is perfect and it has a better camera too.
Now I'm really not into gaming on the phone, and would like to use the "phone as a phone" mainly, with internet browsing, music, HD videos and photography as the other uses.
I also feel that a 4.65 screen is way too big to fit in my pocket.
I have a few questions regarding the Xperia P:
So i'd like to know how the build quality of the Xperia P is?
Is having a non-removable battery a major CON?
Is the Sony 'modded' version of android good enough to not use the custom roms?
Will there be a dev support for Xperia P in terms of custom roms and kernels in the near future?
All in all, which phone do i finally choose in that budget range?
Regards,
CD

Ok, I have XP for couple of weeks. Build quality is excellent (aluminum unibody) and screen is gorgeous (bright and colorful). I think that non removable battery isnt a major CON, but the capacity could be (about a day on single charge). Sony ICS ROM is fast enough and it looks ok. We have allready couple of custom ROMs and Kernels including CM9.1 so I think that future of developing on XP is bright.
Which phone to choose? Hm, I dont know, both are good, its up to u and ur taste.
Edit: XP will get JB in Q1 2013.
P looks more slick and feels solid to the hand than GNex.
But spec-wise and current software(buttery JB), it's GNex advantage over P.
Tapatalked from my Xperia P
So Galaxy Nexus's only advantage is the super fast OS updates?
How does the camera and music compare between them? The screen isn't that important to me, as i feel there will be a negligible difference between them... Please correct me if i'm wrong

Build quality is sexy, recieved a lot of compliments from my friends, really looks and feels like a premium product despite its mid range price. Having a non removable battery is only a con if you're the type to carry around a spare battery (I dont tend to this) for when youre running low, but with quite a small battery this might be a phone that people would have liked to able to remove the battery, but you can still reset the phone without a battery pull. I very much like the experience of Sony's android, looks nice and is quite smooth in my experience, but up against JB on the nexus not so great i guess. Im hopeful for some dev support in the future, because Sony arent the best when it comes to updates right now we're close to getting cm9.1 i think, i cant really say much on what the future of this phones development holds i dont know much about development... But if you're picking between the Xperia P and Nexus, the nexus has more future support and a better screen and better chipset. Dunno about the nexus camera but ive found pictures and videos taken on my P a bit grainy, and shots taken with auto settings arent always great.. I'd still go with the P because i like the look of it, that was a big thing for me, how the phone looks.

Camera is better on Xperia P, much better. Music player, Walkman vs. stock android, what do u think?

It's kinda sad that Sony ditches it's products even before a year is completed for the phone, for example the 2011 models aren't getting any updates and i'm sure the same fate awaits the current series of Xperias.
To be honest, I'm really tired of installing custom ROMS frequently, but then i have to depend on them as my current phone(LG Optimus One) has a pathetic stock rom. But Hats off to the devs at the optimus one thread, they even managed JB(CM10) on that phone.
As long as the stock rom is decent enough, i don't mind using an 'older' version of android. Therefore the advantage of frequent updates that the galaxy nexus enjoys doesn't apply to me. i just want a stable phone.
Even the bigger screen of Nexus One is a deterrent for me. Atleast thats how i personally feel.
I'd like to know how the battery life of the Xperia P is, as i'm reading a lot of conflicting reviews regarding this part.

Battery life is decent, about one day on moderate use (1 hour of talk time, 2-3 hours on wlan, couple of sms, couple of camera shots). And about updates, I got ICS update, and one small update after that (bug fixes). XP will get JB in Q1 2013 (new rumor say in early December 2012). Three updates in less than a year, enough for u?

If you just want to use your phone as a phone without gaming or watching videos the battery should be good enough in the p.
The stock roms are great and look amazing, I prefer them to vanilla android.
The update policy of Sony is okay, even if the 2011 only 'got' ics. I mean, not many other companies update their low end / not flagship phones. Many people I know didn't even update their 2011 Xperias to ics because they don't like it (or don't care). For anyone who depends on the newest firmware there are custom roms.
I'd get a p because of the look and the camera. You can update the p to a newer firmware with custom Roms but there is no way you'll ever get a better camera etc. for the nexus.

I feel the screen legibility outdoors is unbeatable in the case of the XP (maybe due to the extra white pixel) , though I have only compared it to the nexus s and HTC legend...
I like the feel and class of aluminium finish (HTC and Sony) more than the plastic feel of Samsung...
Outdoor shots using the stock Sony camera are truly brilliant in detail, but I wish I could say the same with indoor photos and low light photos -both are afflicted by a great amount of noise...
For music, as mentioned earlier, you get the Walkman app, nuff said
I get a day's worth of battery life with moderate 3g/WiFi usage and 1hour of calls, but I carry around my charger just in case and I have a car charger for busier days... Sony's implementation of fast charging is also good, the battery reaches 90% within an hour...
The software updates for Galaxy Nexus will definitely extend beyond JB, but the same cannot be said about Sony...
I ordered the Xperia P guys
Thanks to everyone for helping me making the decision
Im using a droid razr and i want a new motorola phone..What would you guys recommend? I'm from singapore btw
Simple user too
Well, with android, choice is a hard task.
But, it all depend of what you exept from a smartphone.
Motorola Razr I / M / HD
Great phone, great built quality (HD have 720p screen).
But camera is bad compare to samsung or HTC, and there is a poor rom development ATM .
So if you dont really mind about picture and rom flashing you should keep a motorola, but they are really slow about update.
Galaxy S3/NOTE II
Great phone, fast smooth great camera quality and awesome ROM/KERNEL development, if you're a flashmaniac it's for you.
BUT bad quality of build (plastic back) solid but plastic.
Samsung is pretty fast for update their devices.
For me, the best compromise, is HTC ONE X(+) or Butterfly in china great built quality / camera / ROM KERNEL development.
It's a really quick analyze, but it should help you a bit.
personally if i could buy (out of money atm ) i would buy HTC ONE X+ or wait 4 or 5 month to see what will happen in CES 2013 and buy latest gen phone.
I'm a stylish person, So im more worried about physical outlook more as the phones that are released nowadays are all at a certain standard
Should i wait till Feb to upgrade then?

Just got my Nexus 4 in the mail to replace the RAZR and it looks gorgeous. For the price/performance, I don't think you can go wrong with it.
As a long time motorola user,
My plan was to replace xt910 with the XT926 Maxx edition but after reviewing the xt925 myself, i changed my mind and will stay with XT910 for a while. When motorola releases quadcore, i'll think again.
Flava: If you are a motorola user, and like motorola. Get a RAZR HD. It is the succesor of the RAZR, launched a few months ago, It is a dualcore phone, and stands up pretty well in terms of performance, hardware, and software. (It has a more Stock look, as Motorola has been removing some of its motoblur AND it recently got JB update ) (It has the usual Motorola quality build: Kevlar back, water resistant, gorilla glass, no cheap plastic)
However. I would also recommend that if you take a broader look. You consider another brand.
For example: The Galaxy S3
-The best Android Phone of the year.
-Great development community. (As Motorola has locked boot loaders, the life of the device actually shortens because of the set apparts from updates and the impossibility to develop for it)
-One of the best hardwares out there.
If not, I would suggest getting a Google nexus phone. As someone commented before, the nexus 4 Is as well a very good device. It has arguably the best hardware out there, and you'll get Official Google updates for years.
Resume on my suggestions:
- Droid RAZR HD (If you can't leave motorola)
- Galaxy S3
- Nexus 4
The only upgrade I would consider now would be the Sony acro S
-Scratch resistant shatterproof glass
-IP57 certified water and dust proof
-Water proof to 1 meter for 30 mins
-720x1280, 4.3 inch screen
-Dual core 1.5 Ghz
-16GB, 1GB ram
Haven't seen another phone that can match that, maybe faster quad cores but drop it hard or hit some water and it's toast.
It looks superb too! But that's not so important to me.
Dear fellow'm with a doubt in which phone to buy. Buy an Xperia S or Motorola Razr MAXX? I live in Brazil and here the analyzes of Brazilians they said the same processor has Lag in simple games is that true? You using a modified RAZR all can tell me if it really is a difference in performance and ICS JB Modified Stock ROMs for your version. Aparentimente'm more attracted by Moto Razr Maxx but to think that the processor will be weak and will have his game time lags heavy. Another is doubtful about the bootloader. The bootloader is already unlocked from the factory? Can I install a kernel that device manufactures come from?

here are some hints, as owner os razr, but I had a xperia s:
first, battery life of razr is almost double, therefore you will have more time for you
second, xperia s is not using a superamoled display, but LCD. the difference is huge in favour to razr, belive me. black IS black, not gray
third, the feeling and look of gorilla glass and Kevlar is WAY above regular glass and back plastic
about the lag in games, I didn't noticed any on both devices.
hope I've helped you to decide
cheers
I ran stock latam firmware, and now I run and under clocked and undervolted rom and even now I don't have lags playing games with heavy graphics usage like batman or modern combat 4, did have lag in vice city but it was an app bug that later solved with update.
When in was looking for a phone I first thought of the GS2 and then the xperia, finally o bought this razr on discount and right now I wouldn't change It
edit
the bootloader is in fact locked and it will most possibly remain like that, but there is a lot of work around to flash a lot of custom roms and custom recoverys; custom kernels (kexec in razr's case) are a whole other story since until now they aren't fully functional

If you ask me, i'd take Razr Maxx any day, solely just for the battery life. But there are other factor that is on Xperia S favor, mainly the cool factor and the camera module and the screen. Yeah Razr Maxx has AMOLED but the greenish nature in a low brightness and the black spots visible on a dark environment made my preference back to Sony's (or HTC with its super LCD), plus Sony openness to Android really helps XDA member around here to develop custom ROM. So that is some factor you have to take into mind.
So if you're an indoor guy with wall outlet or power bank around and like to have ROM flashing disorder, the Xperia S is definitely a cooler device to be had, but if you are a going out type of person and the one that really want a working solution, Razr Maxx is definitely a better friend to be had

Thank you. Already knows he has no delay in games, get more excited. But what do we have to see the hansip87 said about the Razr Maxx has AMOLED screens but the greenish nature in a low brightness and dark spots visible in a dark environment. When it seems the Xperia S LCD screen has good definitions of vivid colors.

Thank you. To change the Kernel do not need to unlock the bootloader? If it is possible for motorola'm really surprised by this feat. The Stock Kernel that comes on the device is not good? I think if he turns to buy ICS manufactures.
depends on what you're looking for. I'm gone from a charging place for around 18+ hrs a day, so I love the battery of the Razr Maxx, and can always overclock it. If you're a person who wants solid gaming though, I'd put a bet more so on the Experia. I've never had a lag on games on mine, but I've never really used high-graphic games on it either- use my nexus 7 for that.
Xperia s is no match for razr in every department except camera. Even its hd display looks dull near the razr. On the other hand xs is a phone with issues.

As a sony past user i disagree. Xperia S and razr maxx excels in each own ways. Razr for example has no gyro, and no fm radio. So nobodys perfect. As i viewed it, razr is office oriented, whereas xperia is media oriented. You can't just say the razr is whole lot better, it all depends on what you need.

I really like bright colors and high definition high desenpenho processor, however I also like good battery life. My doubt is because the issue of CPU and GPU compared to the Xperia S. Watching a video in full hd 1080p lcd tv in a large. She has the little squares? I do not really use the camera phone use more processor in games that I love. My biggest intuiro to buy this Motorola Razr is because of the large v

I'm looking for something with a good processor for gaming and not lock in that I have a good battery life because I love games. As the camera I do not care because I do not use very much. But I care about the image quality in its definition. I like colors and vivid realistiscas. I have a WT19 and am happy with its image quality.

In what application I could serve a gyroscope? I think of a good one for games and the battery that lasts well and I have a good image definition. I've seen it is one AMOLED screen greenish well actually I do not like it much because the colors do not appear as they really are. But then again I really like to apply and modify Android ROM. Can you tell me how long it takes to complete your Razr Maxx load? And if the official update has already JB atralhos bar Statos.
Motorola MAXX friend If he has an awesome performance with good battery life along with a good quality pictures and being water proof yet. I believe in taking more consederação for Motorola.

Totally agree. Not to mention the design and as I sad the quality of materials. Sony looks good only in pictures and reviews. In reality looks and feels cheap.
Vivid colours? Maybe so. But still you cannot compare lcd with amoled. If you want to see black on s screen, razr is the solution.
You can use gyro for photosphere app for 4.2.1.
Camera is better on sony, yes. Bluetooth, not
Also I think you need to test both of them a bit to see for yourself. Just for a few minutes, it should be enough
1. the only kernels that can be flashed on razr are only moto's signed ones, however there's a method to load another custom kernel over the stock one and this method is Kexec, but don't expect too much of it at least in short term; but even on stock you can overclock, load other governors, load other scheduler, undervolt and similar stuff so stock is good enough.
2. the hdmi output doesn't send 1080p if the video wasn't filmed with the phone itself, otherwise it downscales the video and then send it at a lesser resolution, I don't remember which resolution was but somewhere between 480p-720p

Well with the brightness set at 50% or more, you'll get the best quality from amoled though. But prepare for increased drain (which shouldn't be a problem with razr maxx). Yes gyro will be useful for 4.2, but with current roadmap, seems like 4.1.2 is the end of the road for razr series officially.
Razr boot time is actually longer than i like it to be, about 45 sec to 1 minute.
One fact that i like about razr camera is that you get less color noise compared to sony exmor sensor. the noise is still there though, but less colorized though. Sure it's slower to start too but the end result with steady hands, i vote for razr camera.

Friend me to thinking more in gaming performance and battery life than the quality of the camera. As I've seen the comments of my dear friends here at XDA and soon nobody complained of lags. With that I already am more relaxed about the processor from Motorola. Also think about the battery life because I think lagged having to always carrying your phone. I've been watching some JB Custom ROM for Motorola RAZR MAXX and greatly appreciated ROMs. Can you tell me about the quality and pitch against the Xperia S. The Xperia S is louder and with more quality than the Moto Razr Maxx? To phone into thinking that I can play without worrying about battery consumption and performance. I'm about to buy a Motorola Razr Maxx, but also to the doubts about the Xperia S. To think that your Xperia S with appropriate modifications of ROM and Kernel I can have a good battery life as Moto Razr Maxx.

You ta saying that any problems I have with Software Modified I will not lose the warranty Apparatus? Because I have not modified your bootloader. You ta saying that videos made on mobile with 1080p I will not see on television with these qualities? Also thinking to use the HDMI cable to play on mobile using television think this should be pretty cool.

By the accounts I'm doing here in Brazil the two devices are in the same price range around R $ 1.400 reais. But all ta considering the Moto Razr Maxx ta winning not because of the quality of the camera but the useful life of the battery Maxx is really very good. I have a satisfactory drainage WT19 and I think that bothers having to always carrying your phone. Now, for what I am seeing the Motorola Razr Maxx will satisfy my use as it has a good processor and good battery life. With the screen Amoled. Now I do not know much about pixes resolution. Motorola is lower in density pixes'll realize what do with this lack of pixes by density.

It's kinda funny what google translate does with your portuguese -> english
You can always fastboot to stock to claim warranty in any case, custom roms do void the warranty but after fastbooting stock they won't notice nothing so you and your warranty are safe.
I won't get my hopes too high on getting 1080p out of the razr in normal use; maybe near 720p but you can see the difference, it's not that bad but neither stunning, I don't know how the xperia S handles the hdmi output to compare tho.
About AMOLED screen resolution 256ppi is not bad (I even think is good); but is Pentile so If you look from very very near you will notice it grainy, in normal use you won't see that
