Motorola Aura Review
The Aura handset from Motorola is immediately noticeable as being very different. It has a circular display a bit like the face of an expensive Swiss watch. It is claimed to give a very special sensual experience, second to none. Its main components are Swiss made and it needs more that two hundred parts just for the mechanism that opens it.
It also has an excellent screen with a specially installed 300 dpi resolution 16 million colour liquid crystal display which is circular in shape. It’s one of those things that you either love, or hate. A circular display takes a bit of getting used to.
This is, however, a very durable phone with its scratch resistant sapphire crystal lens covering the 320 by 240 display screen. The casing in made from stainless steel which has a pattern on it and the manufacturers claim that it takes two weeks to make the keypad. The Aura comes with Motorola’s CrystalTalk which gives excellent sound when using the handset to make calls and it supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth so that it can be used with a compatible headset or earphones.
It also comes with a micro SD slot and is available with or without a camera so that it can be used in secure areas.
The Motorola Aura is a luxury handset designed to be robust, serviceable and look good but the actual mobile phone has few extras, making it ideal for users who want something that looks good and will make calls and send texts. Personally I found the circular screen quite strange and never got used to it but this particular handset has had some good mobile phone reviews and there are some good deals available.
