The Gingerbread-powered Droid Razr is the iPhone 4S's newest challenger and Motorola says Apple and non-Apple fans should take notice of its latest innovation as it may be the smartphone they are looking for.

In the Razr's webcast launching Tuesday in New York, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha compared it to the iPhone 4S to drive its seeming advantages over last weekend's bestselling smartphone worldwide.

The thinnest point of the Razr is .279 inches or 7.1 millimeters while that of the iPhone 4S is .37 ins. or 9.3 mm.
For the display, the Droid Razr's Super Amoled is 4.3 ins. with a 960 x 540-pixel resolution. The iPhone 4S's Retina is 3.5 ins. with a 960 x 640-pixel resolution.

The Razr weighs 127 grams while the iPhone 4S weighs 140 grams.

The Razr supports 4G LTE mobile communications technology while the iPhone 4S supports 3G. In a download test, it took Razr 3 seconds to open the ESPN website and 12 seconds to download a 5MB video. The iPhone 4S took 8 seconds to open ESPN and 76 seconds to download the same video.

With a 1780 mAh battery, Razr users can talk straight for 12.5 hours and watch a video for 8.9 hours. Voice call on the iPhone 4S is 8 hours, video play is 10 hours and Internet surfing 6 hours.

In the other features, both smartphones have dual cameras that support video calling. For the 32GB models, both are priced at $300.

Jha said the Razr is business-friendly. It can dock with a Lapdock to view documents on a full screen and type on a keyboard. It supports a Smart Actions app to automate tasks and optimize battery life. It comes with a free MotoCast app for PC interfacing and Quickoffice word processing on Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats.

"The Droid Razr is what every business owner wants and what an employee needs," Jha said, according to Computerworld.com.
