Priya Ganapati takes a closer look at a new phone from Motorola.

“Motorola’s going upmarket with its latest phone Aura, a luxury model featuring what the company claims is the world’s first circular display on a mobile device. The switch-blade design comes with an aluminum keypad, 2 megapixel camera, 2 GB memory, video capture and streaming capability and about 7.3 hours of talk time.

The phone also has a 62-carat sapphire crystal lens, which is among the most scratch-resistant materials, says Motorola.”
