Motorola unveiled the Droid RAZR<\/a> for Verizon today, and it’s an extremely svelte, powerful, and fast Gingerbread-powered phone. Bringing back the iconic RAZR brand popular in the early 00\u2019s, Motorola is trying to gain back some of its former glory. Since the first revitalization of Motorola with original Droid back in November 2009, Motorola has been struggling to stay relevant by putting out popular smartphones. The extreme delay of the Droid BIONIC for Verizon signaled that Motorola had finally lost its ability to compete. Perhaps introducing a Gingerbread phone on the day Google and Samsung are announcing the Galaxy Nexus\/Nexus Prime and Ice Cream Sandwich<\/a> wasn\u2019t the brightest of ideas, but the Droid RAZR actually seems pretty impressive.<\/p>\n Powered by a dual core 1.2 GHz TI OMAP 4460 processor and 1 GB RAM running Gingerbread on a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Advanced qHD display and LTE, the Droid RAZR definitely meets the status quo for superphones of 2011. Motorola also slapped on an 8 megapixel camera capable of 1080p video inside a KEVLAR body only 7.1mm thin (what Motorola calls the world\u2019s thinnest smartphone) and a screen made from Corning\u2019s Gorilla Glass. Incredibly thin, incredibly light, as well as apparently pretty durable (we\u2019ll see how it stands up to a blender), the Droid RAZR takes engineering to a plane similar to Apple\u2019s with the iPhone 4S.<\/p>\n
