Motorola DROID RAZR XT912

Motorola DROID RAZR XT912 price in Malaysia starts from RM1999, positioning it as a slim, LTE-capable Android phone from late 2011. Inside is a dual-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A9 chip built on TI's OMAP 4430 platform, paired with 1GB RAM and 16GB of storage that you can stretch to 32GB with a microSD card. The 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen runs at 540 x 960 pixels, giving decent sharpness for the era at around 256 ppi.

The 8MP rear camera comes with autofocus and LED flash, and it can shoot 1080p video at 30fps, useful specs if you wanted more than snapshots. A 2MP front camera handles 720p video calls. Battery capacity sits at 1780mAh, non-removable, which was standard practice at launch and kept the phone at just 7.1mm thick.

Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, GPS with A-GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, and both 3G and LTE bands, so data speeds hold up reasonably well. It ships running Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread but can be upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1, and it's sold in Black, White, and Purple.
