A serious rival to the mighty iPhone

The iPhone is the market leader for smartphones across the world and it is easy to see why. Apple gave us so much more than a phone, they set such a high benchmark it has been the phone of choice for some years.

Lussorian have much love for the iPhone, so finding a rival to the iPhone means big things. It would take a lot to sway us.

With the new Motorola RAZR i (in the delectable white) has us swaying all over the place.

To beat the iPhone, the following factors need to be considered. Aesthetics, Usabilty, speed and price. The new RAZR i ticks each box.

The phone has many key features, what makes this even more remarkable is the sleekness of the phone. We are not sure how Motorola have managed to pack everything into a unit so slim.

The screen is edge to edge stuff, all 4.3 inches using Corning© Gorilla© Glass display, making it highly damage resistant. The Razr i even comes with a splash-guard coating – both inside and out for water resistance, not to mention dust and weather sealing.

The seriously long-lasting 2000mAh battery (20 hours of battery performance from a single charge) and the power and speed of Intel Inside© also add to the appeal.
