Motorola Droid RAZR review | The Verge
While the RAZR is the first device to ever ship with a 4.3-inch qHD 960 x 540 Super AMOLED display, it’s not quite the achievement
Motorola made it out to be at launch. First, the
Samsung Galaxy Nexus features a higher-resolution 720p HD Super AMOLED display, and second, the RAZR’s screen looks pretty bad. Super AMOLED panels use the inferior PenTile
pixel arrangement, and the RAZR’s 256dpi pixel density doesn’t hide it — in fact, it seems to make it worse. Not only are individual pixels readily apparent, but text looks jaggy, there’s red fringing around vertical lines, and images seem to de-res when scrolling in the browser.
Compared to Motorola’s excellent qHD LCD displays in devices like the Bionic and Droid X2 and
Apple’s industry-leading
iPhone 4 / 4S Retina Display, the RAZR is a major disappointment — and that’s before even taking into account AMOLED’s inherent love-it-or-hate-it hypersaturation and consistent off-axis blue color shift.
According to Motorola, choosing Super AMOLED helped make the RAZR thinner — AMOLED displays don’t need external backlights like traditional LCD displays. It’s just unfortunate Motorola had to sacrifice display quality as well.

A closer look at the Droid RAZR's screen | The Verge Forums
As you can see, the RAZR's display just doesn't look as nice as the others. I can see how you'd miss it at first glance because it's nicely bright and super-saturated like other AMOLED screens, but over time the lack of detail and green color cast would get extremely tiring, especially on a super-premium $300 device. As beautiful as the RAZR's hardware is, I'd definitely have rather have a slightly thicker phone with a nicer screen.
