Motorola Droid Razr Release Date: Verizon to Launch World's Thinnest Smartphone Next Week
The Motorola Droid Razr will be launched next week on Nov. 11 on the Verizon network, the carrier has confirmed.
The Droid Razr has been labeled the “world’s thinnest smartphone,” and Verizon customers can get their hands on the eagerly anticipated device on 11/11/11. The Droid Razr will be launched exclusively to Verizon.
The smartphone has been available to pre-order since the end of October, and is expected to be one of the most popular phones on sale in the pre-Christmas period.
Rumors suggest that although the smartphone will be launched with the Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread OS, it will be available for an upgrade to the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich after the new OS is launched on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
The Droid Razr will likely retail at $299.99 with a two-year contract on Verizon; in-line with the network’s general price structure.
The smartphone will be launched with the following specs: a dual-core 1.2-GHz processor, 4.3-inch Super AMOLED advanced qHD display, 8-megapixel rear camera with 1080p video recording, HD front-facing camera, and a mobile hotspot support for up to eight Wi-Fi.
The super-thin device will be just 7.1mm thick and will be launched using the Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread OS.
