BEST CHOICES WITH A KEYBOARD

Motorola Droid 

Verizon



The Motorola Droid  has G LTE capabil

ity, a higherresolution frontfacing

camera, and other improvements. It has

a topnotch slideout physical keyboard

that features ﬁve rows a rarity among

phones with dedicated buttons for

numbers across the top row, as well as

a convenient directional and select key.

But unlike the Droid , it’s not a world

phone. The phone has a inch, high

resolution, touchscreen display with

a ﬁngerdriven interface. Its intuitive

navigation provides easy access to all of

its main functions via a highly responsive

touch screen that supports up to ﬁve

home screens of apps and programmable

shortcuts, as well as its menu, home,

back, and search keys. The phone’s direc

tional buttons make it easier to precisely

position the cursor, a plus when editing

text and clicking on hyperlinks. Key A

BIG SCREEN, BIG PERFORMANCE

HTC Evo G LTE Sprint



The thin Evo G LTE has a .inch, high

deﬁnition p display and is one of the

ﬁrst phones to support Sprint’s G LTE

network. The phone’s camera can shoot

a series of photos in rapidﬁre succession

while in camera mode; it can also snap a

still picture at any moment while shoot

ing a video. The Evo G LTE also comes

with a technology called HD Voice, which

Sprint says will produce “fuller, more

naturalsounding and less fatiguing voice

quality” and a reduction in “troublesome

background noises,” especially outdoors.

But HD Voice works only when both

phones on the call have the feature and

are within Sprint’s HD Voice network,

which hasn’t yet been deployed. It has a

kickstand to prop up the phone so that

you can view videos handsfree. Key B

mended models detailed below are listed with their price as of October 2012, with a

two-year contract including rebates.

BEST FOR LONG BATTERY LIFE

Motorola Droid Razr Maxx

HD Verizon 

The Droid Razr Maxx HD, which has

a .inch, highdeﬁnition display, is a

marathon performer with more than

 hours of talk time on a single charge

thanks to its largecapacity battery. In

addition to the larger, higherdeﬁnition

display, the Droid Razr Maxx HD adds

near ﬁeld communication NFC to sup

port ewallet services and enable wireless

data exchanges between similarly

equipped phones. Apart from the battery,

the Maxx HD is all but identical to the

Droid Razr HD. The Razr’s Smart Actions

feature lets you maximize its already out

standing battery life by enabling you to

program the phone to change its settings

according to your GPS location or battery

level. For example, you can set it to turn

on WiFi and shut o Bluetooth when you

arrive at home or work. Key A
