Samsung Galaxy Nexus vs. Motorola Droid RAZR: Which Android Device Will You Buy?

Samsung unveiled its iconic smartphone Galaxy Nexus at the Mobile Unpacked event with Google in Hong Kong earlier this week. The announcement that Galaxy Nexus will use Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich has brought the next evolutionary step of Android to the fore.

The upcoming Galaxy Nexus will not only be the first mobile phone to run Android 4.0 but also support 4G LTE technology. This has undoubtedly brought the device into focus.

On Friday Verizon Wireless officially announced the upcoming release of Galaxy Nexus yet saying that it will launch the phone later this year.

As Google Android's newest version, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, has many enhancements such as new facial unlocking software, new Roboto font, Android Beam.

The Galaxy Nexus is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, a 5-megapixel camera and a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera. It features a sexy 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD touch screen with a curved design.

Meanwhile, another electrical giant, Motorola, took the wraps off the new Droid Razr on Tuesday, announcing that it will be available for pre-order October 27 in Verizon Wireless stores early in November. As Motorola's iconic brand, the Droid Razr claims to be the thinnest smartphone to date and among the lightest ever made. Like the Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr also supports Version's 4G LTE network.
