Motorola AURA mobile phone review

The pricey AURA  marks Motorola's attempt to infiltrate the niche luxury mobile phone market, but having got to grips with the world's first circular display, is the extravagant beauty backed up with any brawn? With its impressive 62-carat sapphire crystal lens which highlights its circular display, it’s safe to say that visually, this phone does not disappoint.   Yet, with the hefty price tag, this high-end handset does a lot less than we were expecting from it.   Stocking a disappointing 2-megapixel camera, the picture quality is ok, but for £1,500, you should be getting at least a 5.0-megapixel camera, plus a decent flash and photo-editing software.
