Like previous Razrs, the HD is slim, at just a smidgeon over 8mm, but it still takes up a hefty amount of pocket space at 132x68mm and at a weighty 146g it feels like a hefty slab of tech.
All of the front is covered by a single sheet of Corning Gorilla Glass surrounded by the casing rim which sits slightly proud to help protect it against accidental scratches if you happen to set it down face first. A cover on the side ejects to permit insertion of your microSIM and microSD cards (it has 16GB on board, but you can add cards up to 32GB). Charging and syncing is by the usual microUSB port and there's a micro HDMI slot too for mirroring the Razr HD's display on your TV screen.
The 4.7-inch Super Amoled touchscreen display offers a fair-enough HD resolution of 1,280x720 pixels, which equates to around 312 pixels-per-inch (ppi) -- certainly in the same ball park as the iPhone 5's 326ppi but a step down from the recent HTC One's stupendous 468ppi. Even so, it looks beautifully sharp and colours are deliciously vibrant whether you're checking out photos online or viewing HD video.
The 1.5GHz dual-core processor is backed by a single 1GB RAM, which until recently would have looked very good, but in these days of quad-core engines backed by 2GB (take a bow, HTC One, Galaxy S4) is now starting to look just a little bit stingy. This isn't a front-rank powerhouse, and the price probably reflects that, but it does make a decent fist of fast shifting between apps and displaying data-heavy web pages. It delivered an AnTuTu performance benchmark rating of 7,690 which compares well with other dual-core handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini or the Sony Xperia T.
The eight-megapixel camera comes with autofocus and an LED flash -- pretty much standard for this price point in other words. Photo modes include multi-shot (up to six), HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging which helps to balance the light and dark areas of a picture and panorama, which lets you stitch together a series of pics to form a 180-degree image.
