Motorola RAZR update brings battery and camera improvements

Motorola has released a software update for the international GSM version of the RAZR. It isn't the long-awaited Ice Cream Sandwich RAZR owners are hoping for (psst, check here), but rather the update is based on the good ol' Android 2.3. However, there are a couple of new features to keep owners happy.

First off, there are new Smart Action presets available, such as Auto Text and VIP Caller mode. On top of that, Moto says battery life is better due to software optimization and the camera is also improved.

The update is currently available in the UK, France, Spain and Italy with more regions to follow. To check if the update has been made available for your RAZR, check System Updates in the About phone menu.

More camera samples from Nokia 808 PureView

The striking 41MP camera of the Nokia 808 PureView won it an award and we can't get enough of looking at camera samples from it. Nokia themselves released several still and video samples and they were nothing short of amazing.

The Handheld Blog were lucky enough to get a chance to take out the 808 PureView for a quick spin themselves. Here are some crops from the original 38MP photos.

You can also visit their site if you want to look at the original photos, but be warned they weigh in at over 10MB each. It's also worth noting that the Nokia 808 PureView is a couple of months away from launch, so Nokia still have time to polish the image processing firmware, as Nokia's own Damian Dinning attests more than once.

Now, to the equally impressive 1080p full HD video samples. They are a month old, so they're definitely taken with pre-release software. They still look stunning, especially the first one, shot at night in low light.
