Motorola Photon 4G

Motorola Photon 4G

Changing brands again, we move on to the Motorola Photon 4G, being a big step of Motorola into the smartphone market, and also being the first model with a dual processor delivered by the mobil phone pioneer.

The Photon ships with Android's Gingerbread and a 4.3 HD screen, powered by a dual core 1.0Ghz chip coming a little bit behind other phones but running with a GeForce graphic processor being an excellent choice for gaming lovers.

The user interface is about the Gingerbread version and of course Motorola's own custom interace, the Motoblur, which normally needs a Motoblur account but not in this case, still being a good plus considering the social networking advantage this accounts offer working together with different widgets updating on your homescreen.

The interface itself doesn't present as much special tricks or widgets as others become basically a Gingerbread based phone, but pretty much fast so at the end the apps use would not be a complain from the users.

Coming with a rear 8.0 mega pixel camera, the Photon works pretty good on HD vids and good picture taking and with its LED flash taking pics on low-light places won't be much a problem, also the fact that it comes with 2 microphones on the back the sound quality on videos seems to be higher than in other phones.

The Photon also comes with a front camera and microphone, becoming video app friendly but of course not as powerful as the rear one.

As a conclusion we find the Motorola Photon pretty much on the top places between smartphones with pros as the camera resolution, the Nvidia processor, the HD screen and also the stand we can see on the picture above, although it might seem a little bit bluky for some people, for some other the size would be just fine though, and the Motoblur interface does not offer as many tricks as other custom interfaces do, but still it keeps a good rating between customers and is one of the finest Motorola products you could find on the market.
