Razr screen...

[kparks]

Um, what? I use a Razr and it's Motorola's skin. You don't want to call it Moto blur? Who cares? It's a Moto UI. It's still bad.

You can hear my complaints echoed by Engadget's editor here (Major moto hate lol): Engadget Mobile Podcast 113 - 11.19.2011 - Engadget

I agree with this. moto UI is garbage... its improved vastly over the droid x. but its still crap.. but I'm sure there are a couple people that like it but I'm not one of em lol..

What in particular is bad about it to YOU? I'm not really interested in what Engadget has to say but I'd like to hear why YOU dislike about it.

I'm getting to the point where I totally disregard website reviews on just about anything. Just like video games and other electronics, reviewers are biased and, as is human nature, that bias comes in out in reviews. I'd much rather hear from people on a forum and compile their thoughts and impressions than a commercial site that is susceptible to being swayed by free gifts and monetary influence.

The interface should focus on useability and speed not 3d animations it can't handle without frame rate drops.

Touch wiz on the galaxy s2 was at least smooth and fast.

Mine seems fine, but to each his own. I've been playing games and such with no issues.

Not all phones are like everyone that's why there are so many choices.

To the dude quoting Engadget: seriously? They're one of the more biased sites out there; getting better, but still not very objective. I read Engadget all the time, but I'm not dense enough to take whatever they say as smartphone Gospel.

Ignorance is bliss. Don't go near an iPhone 4S.

I don't care for the iPhone 4S's screen for two, major reasons: too small, and not OLED. It's a very nice screen, for a 3.5" LCD. That said, 3.5" is too small to be usable, and I don't like the contrast ratios or the non-blacks on LCD screens (yes, even the IPS LCD made by LG for Apple). Apple's screen is basically a higher res OG Droid screen; both IPS LCD with a great colour gamut, but neither hold a candle to sAMOLED. It's like comparing an LCD HDTV to an LED HDTV; actually, it's almost exactly like that.

As for the "pixellation," it's non-existent in real life usage. Can I see pixels on my RAZR if I really try? Yes. Do I ever see them in regular usage? Not even close. The RAZR doesn't technically have the best screen out there, but there's no way you would know the difference in day to day usage. One thing to remember about tech blogs: they have several devices on them at all times. They're looking at the RAZR's screen right next to a SGSII; taking macro shots, running comparison videos, etc. They can then say, "Oh, I do notice that slight blue tint you were talking about." If they didn't have the other phones for comparison, the negligible differences would become just that: negligible.

Bottom line: the RAZR has a beautiful screen. It's not the best out there, but the differences between it and the best screen will never rear their heads in normal usage. That and the iPhone 4S's screen is old tech; a very good example, but old nonetheless (kind of like how good carburetors were right when fuel injection was released).

The Apple iPhone has perfected the screen format that was cutting edge in 2008. If I had narrower fingers and enjoyed holding my phone 8" from my face it would be the perfect choice. But for now, folks who want a bigger iPhone just get themselves an iPad.

That being said, I do notice the pixelation on my Razr every time I read a text message. It "tugs" at my eye when I read. I'm learning to adjust but holding it farther away...

I understand that some folks just can't see it (or the blue tint) but then again, I learned that some folks can't detect the level in sound quality one gets from Westone or Grado headphones in a world where folks think Beats are, ahem, "Da Shizatz"... or whatever.

I read an article in an audio magazine years ago. They took some audiophiles and had them listen to speakers. From cheap to expensive all where hidden behind curtains. None could pick out the good vs the bad. To be fair the volumes were low didn't produce much noise. Still opinion is just that opinion.

Well most of the people I work with has an Iphone and they are really impressed with the color rendition on my Razr. They like to put theirs next to mine and compare and almost everyone says mine has the better screen. Just for what it's worth.
