Already boasting the far and away best battery performance of any 4G smartphone, the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX is going to provide even more run time and talk time thanks to a recent software update. That handset currently delivers up to 21.5 hours of consecutive talk time from a single charge of the oversized 3,300 mAh battery on board, as well as 16 days standby. Droid Razr MAXX handset owners have been waiting for a promised upgrade to the anticipated Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) operating system, and while the OS update that was released yesterday does not include ICS, it does provide some major improvements.

Build number 6.12.181 is a Gingerbread operating system upgrade, and to check your phone for this latest OS improvement, access your phone’s menu, go to Settings > About Phone. The over the air update promises to improve device stability and optimize handset performance by extending battery life even further. Handset security has been improved, and the 4G LTE coverage indicator is more accurate. Improved Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity is also offered through this Gingerbread operating system update and several widgets have been added.
The Motorola Droid Razr MAXX handset retails for $199 at select Verizon authorized retailers with a standard new two-year activation and data plan at select retailers, and is exclusive to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE wireless network. Aside from delivering the most talk time of any 4G handset, the device is also tops in the out-of-the-box 4G storage field. The handset comes with 16 GB of RAM system memory built in and an additional 16 GB microSD card. Arriving January 26 of this year, the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX offers the same high-end feature set delivered by the popular Motorola Droid Razr, but addresses the poor battery performance of that handset by adding the oversized battery.
The designers at Motorola did a great job in keeping the handset as thin as possible even with the addition of the larger battery, and the Droid Razr MAXX Android smartphone is only 0.35 inches (8.99 mm) thick, making it slimmer than almost all 4G handsets. With a 4.30 inch display and 540 x 960 pixel resolution, the Super AMOLED screen is protected by a layer of scratch resistant Gorilla Glass. A Texas Instruments microchip package includes a 1.2 GHz dual core central processor and graphics dedicated chip, 1.0 GB of RAM memory and the 16 GB of built-in storage mentioned earlier. An 8.0 megapixel camcorder records video at 1080P HD resolution, and the front facing 1.3 megapixel chat cam also provides video call support. Buy the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx starting at $199.
