Motorola set to slice competition with the Droid Razr

While most of the world had their attention diverted to Hong Kong for the launch of the official Googlephone another Android handset looks set to make a cut in the market with Motorola officially announcing the Droid Razr. Sure we have had numerous images as well as specification leaks but there’s nothing like an official announcement where the handset gets showcased in all its glory. The main feature of this smartphone is the fact that it is the world’s thinnest 4G LTE smartphone.
