We’ve just concluded our in-depth review of the Motorola RAZR i
and its Intel Atom Medfield chipset inside and now it’s time to shine a
light on its battery performance.
The Motorola RAZR i achieved some pretty good scores in all of our tests, but its talk time endurance was partucularly impressive.
Here we go – the call test is where the new Intel-designed modem really shines. The Motorola RAZR i got a whopping 20 hours and 7 minutes, climbing to third spot in our call test chart and making top 3 a Moto exclusive territory. More impressively it managed to match the achievement of its MAXX siblings with a battery that has a 1300 mAh smaller capacity.
The RAZR i got stellar results in the web browsing department as
well. The 2000 mAh Li-Ion battery under the RAZR i’s Kevlar vest was
able to pump out 7 whole hours of non-stop browsing, which is not
particularly kind to smartphones with AMOLED Screen.
And finally the video test for all those people who spend a lot of
time traveling and like watching videos on their smartphones during the
trips. The Intel Atom-sporting RAZR’s got you covered with 8 solid hours
and 11 minutes of video playback, which isn’t a top score but
definitely one to be respected.
At the end the Intel-designed modem got another chance to shine and
it took it. The RAZR i turned out to be excellently efficient at
stand-by, which allowed it to get an endurance score of 64h.This means
that if you were to use the smartphone for an hour of talking, an hour
of web browsing and an hour of video playback per day, you’d need to
charge it once every 64 hours.
Still, the breakdown shows that if you use your smartphone for web-browsing and video playback more than you do for actual telephony, than you are probably going to get shorter discharge times.
