If you remember back several years ago, tiny was in when concerning smartphone design. The handsets got so ridiculously small they were approaching posted stamp size. Many times in the smartphone design arena, manufacturers get carried away trying to outdo each other in one particular dimension or designation. Enter the Motorola Droid Razr 4G as an example. The handset delivers an excellent assortment of high-end features, and was designed as the skinniest smart phone ever made. However, the Motorola designers did their job too well, and that skinny profile meant that battery life needed to be improved.
Thus the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX 4G was created, and it keeps all the attractive features of the Motorola Droid Razr, but adds an 85% larger extended life battery. This gives the handset 4G-best numbers in battery performance, allowing for a full 15 hours of video playback or 21.5 hours of talk time. The Droid Razr MAXX also produces 4G-best numbers in data storage. The 4G Android smartphone comes equipped with 16 GB of data storage built in, and ships with a removable 16 GB microSD card, for 32 GB of storage space in all.
The Droid Razr MAXX also delivers a fast dual core Cortex A9 central processing unit that has been clocked at 1.2 GHz, and it joins a PowerVR SGX540 graphics processing chip in the Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 microchip package on board. The handset also offers PC functionality, operating as a laptop with a 10.1 inch screen when docked into the Lapdock 100 accessory. There is also an optional HD Station made specifically for the Droid Razr MAXX which allows the powerful processor to connect to a display, mouse and keyboard, and function as a desktop PC.
When used primarily as a handset, the Droid Razr MAXX benefits from the 4G LTE network of Verizon Wireless that has been tested by independent reviewer RootMetrics, and carries their title as the fastest and most dependable 4G LTE system in the United States. The 4.30 inch Super AMOLED display on the handset delivers 540 x 960 pixel resolution, and is protected by a layer of scratch resistant Gorilla Glass.
Equally as tough as that Gorilla Glass overlay is the splash-proof Kevlar and aluminum coated chassis on the unique looking, clipped corner design the handset carries. Video capture is delivered at 1,080P HD resolution by the 8.0 megapixel camcorder, and a 1.3 megapixel chat cam offers portrait snapshot capability, as well as video call support.
