Description

Motorola ELECTRIFY 2 is the follow up successor to the original ELECTRIFY from last year. Similar to Verizon’s DROID RAZR, the Motorola ELECTRIFY 2 has all the awesome specs to make it a standout leader amongst the carrier's existing crop. In fact, this beauty boasts many of the exquisite elements that we find with Verizon’s DROID RAZR – like its svelte 8.4mm body, invisible splash-guard coasting, and Kevlar strong backing. Beyond that, its specs sheet is able to impress thanks to its 4.3” qHD ColorBoost display, dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 8-megapixel rear camera, and 1080p video capture. On the software side, customers will be pleased to know it’s running Android 4.0 Ice cream Sandwich out of the box – with Motorola’s SMARTACTIONS functionality to extend its performance and battery life.

Phone owned for more than a year

Great phone. Built really well. Excellent signal reception. Really good build quality. Thin and light. Splash resistant. Camera is okay quality, as with the screen and battery life. OS was really buggy and slow but Jelly Bean update is way better. Internal storage is a chore. Uses single partition to store apps and data like Nexus devices but is only about 2.5GB and no way to move apps so internal memory is full after only downloading two games and nothing else.

What I like

Build quality, kevlar backing feels and looks cool
Gorilla Glass is just amazing
Reception just blows away any Samsung, HTC, etc
ColorBoost display looks really good, but still no excuse for low DPI
MicroSD Card slot
USB OTG support
Very lightly skinned UI. Leads to a smooth, fast and fluid experience

What I don't like

Small internal memory, 4GB with about 2.2GB useable
No way to move apps to SD card
Terrible software updates, as with almost all Motorolas
Camera is a noisy
No NFC
No HDMI
Wierdly slow for an OMAP4430. Galaxy Nexus feels 3x faster and uses same processor.
No removable battery

Phone owned for less than a year

This phone is tough and reliable. It is not the most fashionable and when my employer handed these out to the team as work phones I wasn't disappointed as I have a Nexus, but definitely not thrilled either. As time has gone by. This phone has served well. Granted US Cellular's service is abysmal, but everything else about this phone is quite snappy. Photos look rough but gaming is fun on the bigger screen. Browsing the internet for quick how to's or tips and tricks, were a cinch and as such I have grown fond of this phone. It's not trendy, but it actually is, specification wise, better than most androids out there. I have dropped this thing on concrete many times, and I'm 6'4". This phone doesn't have a scratch on it.
