SGSIII vs Droid RAZR HD

[butterhasbeenspread]

I bought the original RAZR right before the MAXX released, and now there's another version coming. I've really had my eye on the SIII. Which phone do you guys think will be better overall?

Hard to say not knowing the specs... We assume there will be a Droid Fighter (Droid RAZR HD) MAXX, but we don't know. You'd assume that Motorola would realize that the RAZR MAXX was a great success for battery life reasons... but no way to really know.

Unless the SGSIII comes with an extended battery option, I'd go with the RAZR HD. The battery life on these 720p screens is abysmal without larger batteries.

I bought my DROID RAZR then too...and im happy with it...but im still getting the galaxy s3 ...#1 reason Motorola pissed me off with this whole maxx a month after the Razr then next the DROID fighter...the fact that Samsung and Apple put all of their tech in one phone a year has won me over...(not however getting an iPhone ) I'm a recovering phone addict ...and im no longer buying from a company that either has not identified or will top their flagship phone months later ...so its galaxy s for me ...

There has been more then one Samsung phone released this year. Apple is the only one that does it with one and done. The galaxy nexus ain't all that spectacular.

Any word on the RAZR MAXX HD release?

I would assume after the GS3, and after the suspected data share plans. I haven't seen any more info/leaks about it in quite some time.

I appreciate the input. I really like my RAZR, but the battery isn't very good in the original. I use 3g mode to keep the battery up longer. If I had the MAXX I wouldn't mind waiting the 2 years for the next big thing. I wish Moto would have made the battery removable.

You should look into the maxx conversion kit. It will give you the back plate, battery, and SIM/micro SD card door. Then your RAZR will be a RAZR maxx. So you'll have the benefits of the larger battery.

I never understood why people want a removable battery...when U used to have one with a battery, either the battery door would fall off on occasion or dust and lint would get inside the phone via the door. I never once ever ran into the instance I needed a battery pull, there were always an alternative if I needed to reset.

Having an extended battery with the standard as a backup was one reason. Sad part is, my Maxx outlasts both those other batteries on my old bionic...

I considered the Maxx conversion kit, but I've heard it doesn't fit completely secure. I read that it's almost as good but just not the same.

If the radios are integrated on the s4 chip does that mean the reception will be the same? My nexus struggles for signal.

For this reason I'm dumping Motorola for a for sure one flagship phone a year deal with Samsung ....no reason the OG Razr users should have been done like this ....If you choose to stay Moto watch out for the Razr HD Star wars edition ...or some other B.S

i have the droid razr and wish i had gotten the Maxx but did not know about it until too late - am thinking of looking into the new SGSIII - does anyone know a better pro/con that "just one new model per year"

Until Samsung puts out a phone with better radios I'm sticking with Motorola phones. I'm in an area without the greatest of signals and had to switch out my Nexus due to poor cellular performance.

I hear ya! I fully understand that new phones come out as technology improves but 3 Razr models in 6 months is ridiculous. I went one step further though and got the iPhone 4s.

It's called the metz65 can't get a signal study.

I went thru 4 Nexus and they all suffered from the same signal problem in the same area. Just being in my living room saw dBm of -120 while my wife's thunderbolt would be at -83 and actually able to receive calls. My Maxx stays in the high 70's and low 80's, as did my X and OgDroid.
Traveling to the next town 30 miles over saw cellular loss of anywhere from 47% to 67%, with the average being in the mid 50's. The Maxx by comparison has been no higher than 3% with the wife's thunderbolt topping out at 4%. I also know several people that had the Samsung Droid Charge and suffered the same signal problems.

Loved my Gnex and wish I could have kept it, but in this area Samsung phones just don't perform well.



I don't care what kind of phone you use, that's not how I judge someone's worth or intelligence. Sent using tapatalk 2.
