Definitely a big day in Android land, with not one but two big phone announcements. First, Motorola announced the Droid Razr, which packs plenty of power in a very slim package. Later, Samsung released news of the Galaxy Nexus, which sets the standard for Android phones with the brand-new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. We know many Android fans out there want to know the facts about both these handsets, so we created a quick and dirty spec comparison.
Design:
Both the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the Motorola Droid Razr have a sleek profile, and are extremely slim. The Galaxy Nexus is only 8.9 mm thick and weighs 135 gms. The Droid RAZR is even slimmer, at just 7.1 mm, and is lighter at 127 gms.
Display:
The display is one of the best features of the Galaxy Nexus. It comes with a 4.65 inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, the highest resolution seen in smartphones to date.
The Motorola Droid Razr comes with a smaller 4.3 inch Super AMOLED display, with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels.
Processor:
Both phones have (nearly) identical processors, packing 1.2GHz with two cores. Both models are also Texas Instruments OMAP chips. The difference is that the Galaxy Nexus is powered by the 4460 model, next to the 4430 in the Razr. The Razr’s 4430 is the same CPU that is found in the Droid Bionic. The Nexus’ 4460, meanwhile, is capable of 1.5GHz speeds, so we will likely see some overclocked kernels for the Nexus coming out of the development community.
OS:
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus runs the latest version of Android – Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The Motorola Droid Razr will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread at launch, but is expected to get an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich eventually.
Hardware:
Both the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the Motorola Droid RAZR come with similar hardware. They sport a 1.2 GHz TI OMAP dual core processor, and come with a PowerVR SGX 540 GPU. Both the phones offer 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage.
Camera:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus – 5 MP camera with autofocus and flash. Motorola Droid RAZR – 8 MP camera with autofocus and flash. Galaxy Nexus’ camera has 2592×1936 pixels resolution whereas Droid Razr can resolve up to 3264×2448 pixels. Both devices’ cameras have autofocus feature and LED flash.
Storage:
Samsung and Google appear to have their sights set firmly on the iPhone in the storage department. Like Apple, they opted to skip an SD card slot and offer the phone in 16GB and 32GB models (though the iPhone is now available in 64GB as well).
The Droid Razr, meanwhile, gets 16GB of internal storage as standard, but also adds an SD card slot.
Connectivity:
Both the phones are occupied with Wi-Fi and 3G. But Droid Razr beats Galaxy Nexus in this because it will be exclusively available on Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. Droid Razr has Bluetooth 4.0 whereas Galaxy Nexus has Bluetooth 3.0 hence Droid Razr has the latest version of Bluetooth in it.
Battery Life:
Galaxy Nexus has 1750 mAh Li-Ion battery and Droid Razr has 1780 mAh battery with the standby of 204 hours and talk time of 12:30 hours.
Conclusion:
Both the phones are nearly same in specs and performance but Droid Razr might attract professionals because of its thinness. Camera is also considered to be an important part of the phone and it has better camera than Galaxy Nexus. The only thing where Galaxy Nexus dominates is its operating system. It has the latest version of Android OS 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) whereas the Droid Razr has version 2.3.5 (Gingerbread). So it is up to you which things you might prefer.

So the other video format which can not be natively accepted by the Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Droid Razr, However, Samsung Galaxy Nexus converter for mac and Motorola Droid Razr converter for mac have released to convert video including AVI, WMV, FLV, MOV, MPG, MKV, YouTube, DV to MP4 mac for playing on Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Droid Razr on Mac OS X Lion, Mac 10.7, Mac Snow Leopard, Mac 10.6 and Mac 10.5 operating system etc.
