Motorola Aura - Expensive Phone Review

Motorola Aura is the most expensive cellular phone ever made by Motorola. It is a simple quad-band GSM mobile phone, with a basic 2 mega pixel digital camera and 2GB of internal memory. The AURA lacks 3G support, WiFi or GPS. If these things are important to you, then this isn’t the box for you. The display is really the highlight of the Aura, with 16 million colors. The lens itself on the screen is a 1.62 carat sapphire crystal. The bulk of the phone is made from a chemically etched stainless steel housing that has been hand polished and given a protective coating.

Motorola Aura - Superb Finished Exterior

The unique swivel design of the Motorola AURA is facilitated by 130 precision ball bearings, with a central Swiss-made main bearing that offers a supposed smooth-as-butter swivel motion. It is available in Silver color. Aura’s display size is 480 pixels diameter, 1.55 inches, which we can say is a bit small. Motorola Aura is equipped with 2 mega pixel camera on the back. Aura’s dimension is 96.9 x 47.6 x 18.6 mm and weights around 141 g, which means it’s heavy.
