Recently, Android hardware reached a point where I felt you didn’t have to buy the fanciest phone in order to be happy. While the HTC One X is a great phone most users will be happy with the One S, that sort of thing. I recently reviewed the Motorola ATRIX which is another fantastic device. Turns out the ATRIX has a smaller sibling the RAZR V XT885. Is the RAZR V good enough?

In terms of 2012 flagship Android phones, first came the HTC One X which was followed by the Samsung Galaxy S III. Both share very similar specs including support for LTE. Now we have the Motorola ATRIX HD LTE which is packing similar hardware. So which of the 3 should you buy?

While pretty much all Smartphones are plain slabs these days, last year’s Motorola RAZR was an interesting interpretation of the plain slab. It was wide and had sharp angles. The Kevlar back is bare with its weave exposed. There were some nice details including the Motorola logo and the volume buttons. ...

One of the great things about technology is that most high end features end up filtering down to more affordable price points. Sometimes it happens quicker than you think.

Just over 18 or so month ago the fastest processor you could find on most Android phones were 2nd gen Qualcomm Snapdragon chips with Scorpion cores running at 1Ghz. Their screen resolutions topped out at 800x480, came with around 512MB of RAM and most of them sported 5 megapixel cameras.

Things move pretty quickly in the Android space! All that technology has filtered down and now we have the HTC One V.

With the exception of the Xperia x10, Sony hasn’t really released any phones in the past 2 years that were really aimed at the high end of the market. The Arc and Xperia S were both upper-midrange phones while the rest of Sony’s portfolio (Ray, Pro, Play) where aimed at the middle of the market.

The Sony Xperia ION marks Sony’s return to the higher end of the market. Probably the best thing about the ION is it’s metal unibody. It’s a huge step up from everything else Sony has released in the past 2 years. It’s very solid plus it looks and feels great. ...

If you’re looking for an mid-range, entry level Android phone there is no shortage of choices. HTC has the aluminum bodied One V, Sony has the dual core Xperia U, Motorola has MOTOLUX and now we have the LG Optimus L7. What sets the L7 apart is its large 4.3” display and it’s larger-than-average 1700mAh battery.

When I first saw the L7 I was surprised because it doesn’t look like an entry level phone. Last year’s Optimus LTE was a very high-spec phone that didn’t look very special. The L7 has a very detailed power button plus there’s a nice metallic finish around the camera. The back has an interesting dimpled pattern while the sides has a stylish chromed look. ...

Now Windows Phone has been around for about 2 years now but in that time it hasn’t done very well. One of reasons why it hasn’t been successful is because Microsoft’s hardware specifications don’t allow for entry level phones.

Recently, Microsoft made some changes to Windows Phone code named Tango and relaxed their specifications. Now we have the Nokia 610.

The first thing that struck me about the 610 is that it’s kind of thick and heavy. In my hand it’s a pretty solid phone. ...

The one V's 512 megs of ram kind of make JB impossible. I was kinda surprised they stuffed it into the reverbs 768 megs, I thought 1 gb was the minimum spec.
