Motorola XPRT: Great BlackBerry Alternative

14.07.2011

Mediocre Camera

Like other Motorola phones we've reviewed, the XPRT incorporates a not-very-impressive 5-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash. Motorola's camera user interface isn't my favorite, but you do get a good number of scene modes and effects, plus face detection and geotagging. In my indoor photos, colors looked washed out and details were fuzzy. My outdoor photos fared slightly better, but they weren't especially strong. The camcorder is mediocre, too: My 720-by-480-pixel-resolution videos looked somewhat fuzzy, though the camcorder function is acceptable for capturing short clips.

For your multimedia needs, you get the standard Android media player, which supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, H.263, H.264, and MPEG-4 video and music files.

Performance

Though the XPRT isn't a dual-core phone, its 1GHz TI OMAP processor is beefy enough to keep the phone running smoothly. It easily handled every app I threw at it, and it didn't choke when I multitasked with multiple third-party and native apps.
