Cherry Mobile Razor 2.0 - Slimmer Lighter Sharper

Cherry Mobile has remade its Razor bringing it to 2.0 status at 7mm thin at weighing only 100g.

Notable changes for a sharper display from 4.5 inch qHD to 4.7 inch HD and retains its Dragontrail Protection. The New Razor 2.0 is now powered by 1.2Hz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 MSM8212 with Adreno 302 NOT 305 Graphics, a change of heart parting from Mediatek. It still has 4GB of Internal Storage and 1GB RAM. Subsequently, MicroSD expansion slot to support that amount of storage.

I believe the device will have the similar connectivity features - WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS as well as up to HSPA+ data connectivity.

On a plus point, its camera goes up to 12MP Auto Focus (from 8MP ehem 5MP interpolated) camera supported by LED Flash. 2MP Front is here to stay for selfies and video chat needs.

Sadly, 1750mAh Battery just wont cut it  for heavy user but then again being slim, thin, and light has its disadvantages and this is surely a major one. On flip side it is Removable compared to the first Razor thereby if there's a possibility modders might find an alternative (if available or exist) to power up the Razor 2.0.


With all taken consideration, Razor 2.0 main selling point is its slimmer, lighter, and  its HD Display. It also has packs power to handle a fluid Android 4.3 Jelly Bean experience and slight Gaming. Slight because with its slimmer frame, it should just have a sacrificial decent battery. Kudos to Cherry Mobile for always giving consumer an option for some of their preference as well as deliver feature packed smartphones though sometimes it seems like a great flood at every end of the quarter hahaha.
