Am I the only one who thinks the RAZR will be better than the GNex?

​Just my 2 cents :)

I know your reply wasnt directed towards me but the posted response isn't too strong. I mean, first of all, do you really think the razr may have better dev support?
Personally, I did my research and cancelled my razr preorder.

Just saying...

Not only am I the only person that disagrees with you and you are getting bad information are misunderstanding something. (Or everything >.>)
The phones have basically the same specs, some have cons, some have pros compared to each other.
It really boils down the personal choice. If you want a removable battery, get the Nexus, if you want a removable SD card get the Razr, etc.
I'm not pro Razr, or Pro Nexus. I am arguing with you because your information is simply wrong.
 
so your saying the screen is better than a super amoled plus screen?

The question really comes down to what is the PPI count. That will determine how crisp and clear text is displayed on both devices. I know that the Razr will have a 220PPi count but I have yet to come across a PPI count for the Nexus.

You my friend make one of my points...because it really comes down to, Do you like open source? Do you like a better pixel ratio? The rest is all pretty much competitive with specs...they will all be fast..But I must add...the Rezound is , from what I've read, 1.5 ghz..so if your into the speed...? Lol peace and good point!

Not all clock speeds are built alike. The Nexus, RAZR, and GS2 are more than a match for the 1.5Ghz clocked Rezound on daily tasks. The GS2 and Iphone4 4S will beat the Rezound on graphics intensive Apps. The GS2 probably has one of the most powerful CPUs in smartphones with the Exynos clocked at 1.2 Ghz. The Rezound is basically the Amaze 4g on Tmobile.
 
I'm getting the Nexus. One thing I really like about the Nexus other than the obvious that has already been mentioned is the charging pins on the side. It having the ability to just drop into a charging dock similar to my Blackberry Bold is a huge plus for me.

I really like the Razr but at this point the only thing that can sway me to the Moto is if the Nexus has horrendous battery life compared to the Moto.

I would be curious to know which device costs the manufacturer more to make.
I want the one that cost the most to make. Quality
 
Unlocked Bootloader - Most people do not care for this, a lot of people don't even root their phone. And there may actually be a way to unlock it on the Razr, we will have to wait and see.
I care about an unlocked Bootloader, as do many of the members of this forum. Razr owners will have to wait, and IF they're lucky, it may be unlocked...but who knows when. The GN is unlocked right off the bat.

Faster Updates - Last time I checked, Motorola was the company known for being on top of updates. Seing also as how ICS is coming to Razr early 2012
You said it, 2012. GN users will have used ICS for a least a month or longer before the Razr gets ICS - w/Motoblur, nonetheless.

Better Dev Support - Again debatable
I'm not sure why you think the Razr - with its locked bootloader, GB, and Blur - will get more developer attention than the open platform GNex with ICS.
The GNex is referred to as a developer's phone. Is everyone wrong but you?

The only thing razr has going for it is kevlar and slim factor - Um there is a lot more.
I agree with you here. The Razr will likely have a superb build quality and a better radio.

It really boils down the personal choice. If you want a removable battery, get the Nexus, if you want a removable SD card get the Razr, etc.
This is clearly an oversimplified poor statement.

That is debatable, do your research please
I am arguing with you because your information is simply wrong
I was trying to avoid getting sucked into a debate, how could I after reading these remarks lol

Really now, where is your statistics? My judgement is based off the past couple months posts by members who comment on the news reports of droidforums.net. Where they are saying they don't care if it is locked or not. Is there users that do care? Yes. But I don't think the majority cares.


You said it, 2012. GN users will have used ICS for a least a month or longer before the Razr gets ICS - w/Motoblur, nonetheless.

Lol at least a month? That is not a long time at all, not to mention that is a bad approach to an argument. I actually think it will be a couple months, and some people like Motoblur, some don't.

Nah, I am just not the only person who disagrees with. And all I said is that it is debatable.
I don't see why you get so offended so easily over a little advantage most people don't even recognize or care about.



This is clearly an oversimplified poor statement.

Really now? How come most people say this? And it is true. Most people will choose a phone because of how it looks. Some people don't even care for specs, they see 4g and a nice looking phone and they want it. It is simplified, because thats just how it is. A lot of people have been saying this over and over. Why? Because its true. I have been reading this topic since post 1.


Why don't you agrgue with this person too?



:
how can it not? better camera even though smaller pixels(moto cameras are worst of all vendors)most cameras fail on phones because of sensors AND software, 1 of which ICS should help to fix, nfc / BT 4, better screen / BIGGER screen there are other factors besides PPI, like Gorilla Glasss, better gpu / Same GPU just overclocked SLIGHTLY, unlocked bootloader / No argument there only hope that the tool MOTO puts out helps us in some way with VZW, better aesthetics / Subjective at best, most seem to differ to the RAZR here plus has anybody even seen the LTE VZW Nexus remember it will be thicker than the HSPA+ version, faster updates / Yes but this is kind of a double argument... On one hand I here get the Nexus because of the Modding that can be done to it and the bootloader in which case you would be running on leaked versions way before official versions. And if you choose to wait for the official versions to push you probably aren't modding and the bootloader argument plays no factor, better dev support / MORE dev support, that doesnt always translate into "better" i'll take quality over quantity everyday. the only thing razr has going for it is kevlar and slim factor.


​Just my 2 cents

And last
how can it not? better camera even though smaller pixels(moto cameras are worst of all vendors), nfc, better screen, better gpu, unlocked bootloader, better aesthetics, faster updates, better dev support. the only thing razr has going for it is kevlar and slim factor.
This information is poor and misleading.
Better Camera - You don't know this yet, you can only speculate. Like others who have also said, software not hardware is usually the problem
Better Screen - Not really. This can be argued with sure the Nexus has higher resolution but will take more battery to power that resolution. Also that it really is not noticeable. Also the Razr has gorilla glass, and so many other factors.
Better GPU - This has already been said, not even noticeable. Barely better and is that even better in the end?
Unlocked Bootloader - Yes it is unlocked, Razr is not. Majority of people do not care for this though.
Better Aesthetics - As DroidHoff said, subjective at best.
Better Dev Support - Not better, "MORE", once again as DroidHoff said: i'll take quality over quantity everyday.

You'll notice I am posting similar information over and over. This is because I am hoping it will sink in your head eventually.
Hope you understand now.

The Samsung will be better in every way possible. Period. Except the kevlar maybe that's it.

Screen. Camera. Blur. Lag. Motorola glitches. Please don't make me laugh. This is a phone from google itself and you think the razr will get more updates. Motorola comes out with a new phone every month. Nexus?
 
If you like the razr look and don't care about modding then the phones are probably very similar from a statistical standpoint.

Someone who goes to Verizon and sees both will have to decide between the razrs build and ice cream.

I know I'll get ice cream on the razr in about 3 months so I lean to the razr.

Thickness? Build quality? Reception? Drop testing/durability? Bugs? Accessories?

I don't know how you can be so sure at this point.
 
;) Ha this thread makes me think about the thread i started saying the ''Razr is just a glorified X3''...

thats all it is to me, so im going with the true google phone with pure android...

:hail: nexus = pure android/google

Every possible way?

Google did not build it samsung did. Google made it the premier ice cream phone for development.

The razr is built with better materials like kevlar, gorilla glass, steel core, water resistant, thinnest phone made.

Who will get more updates? Is it a contest? We know we will get a bug fix for the razr and ice cream.

So how is the Nexus better in every way?

The Nexus will have a 315 PPI.
