You’ve probably heard by now that Motorola is resurrecting its once mighty RAZR product line. Of course Moto has taken a slightly more modern design approach, ditching the iconic RAZR flip-phone form factor for a slate-style smartphone template. What we were surprised to hear is that Motorola has managed to keep the profile of its newest RAZR device down to a stunning 7.1mm, a full 1.4mm thinner than the Samsung Galaxy S II.

The hardware specs of the Droid RAZR aren’t exactly unimpressive either. The dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB of RAM put it up at the top of the market with the top players, as does the 16GB of internal memory with a further 16GB available on a preinstalled microSD card.

The specs continue to impress with the 8MP camera, 1.3MP front-facing camera, LED flash and 4.3 inch 540 x 960 Super AMOLED Advanced display. Even the battery is a bit above par with 1780mAh as opposed to the more common 1500 or 1650mAh batteries.

The whole thing comes preloaded with Android 2.3.5, which is pretty much standard Android Gingerbread, but should have great video chat support via Google Chat.

We can’t wait to get our hands on one of these badboys and see how they’re as impressive in practice as they are on paper.
