LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! In the latest ad campaign from
Motorola and their flagship DROID RAZR HD, the mobile giant whose recent mobile
division has been acquired by Google is picking a fight that it may not win. The
image used to portray this suggests the Galaxy S3 only gets half signal bars
while the Motorola RAZR enjoys full strength signal bars at any given time, but
that is terribly misleading, no? For starters, location location, location that
plays a bigger part in signal strength and download speeds over 4G LTE even if
Motorola’s radios happen to be more solid than the ones Samsung use
It’s no surprise Motorola didn’t
publish how it came about this particular result. The OEM could have tested the
Galaxy S3 in a low coverage area, then proceeded to perform the same test on a
RAZR MAXX HD in a full coverage area. We wouldn’t know that, of course, because
Motorola is not required to tell us, but more power to them if they can get a
few more sales out of it. And although Motorola’s image doesn’t show any
branding, the simulated software image certainly suggests they’re comparing
this to the version of the S3 that’s on the very carrier that has exclusive
DROID RAZR MAXX HD is Verizon.
We can’t say what compelled Motorola to get a bit bolder in its marketing tactics, but we kind of like it. Even though the speed claims are a bit fishy they do have a couple of points over Samsung’s Galaxy S3. Sure, Samsung has another device that completely outclasses any of the RAZR devices, but the Samsung Galaxy S3 is still Samsung’s primary bread and butter and Motorola has no problem letting you know that it has a device that can stand toe to toe with it. Opinions?
