In the An3DBench XL, the RAZR M was a wee bit slower than some of the other Android powerhouses. Graphically, this phone is clearly a bit underpowered than some of its rivals, but there's still plenty of oomph here. Again, it's worth pointing out that for a mid-level phone, these results are very good.

Despite weaker graphical scores in prior benchmarks, the RAZR M performed like a champ here. In our typical GL Benchmark test, it just barely bested the Photon Q and One X, and even finished ahead of the mighty Galaxy S III.
