When Motorola announced their new Droid Ultra line of handsets at a big gala press event in New York City last month, they unveiled their X8 Mobile Computing System. Basically a 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, quad core Adreno 320 GPU, with a special natural language processing core and separate contextual computing processing core, the Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System is a customized chip set which focuses on battery conservation and dedicated task processing.
You can pre-order the Motorola Droid Maxx at select online retailers starting at $199.99, which is a savings of up to $100 over carrier prices. The phone is scheduled to start shipping around 8/27. You can also pre-order directly from Verizon starting at a price of $299.99.
The graphics processor can also handle some routine, low energy tasks, as do the language processor and contextual computing processor. This particular recipe helps crank out some serious performance from the Droid MAXX’s 3,500 mA extended life battery. Motorola says up to 48 hours of talk time can be delivered from a single battery charge, with a standby time of approximately 13 days. With an industry average of 11 hours of single charge talk time, the Motorola Droid MAXX easily outperforms the typical handset.
The Motorola Droid MAXX was unveiled alongside the Droid Ultra and Droid Mini smartphones, with this lineup focusing on different features. The Droid Ultra is super skinny, the Droid Mini is compact and light, and the Droid Maxx delivers absolutely incredible battery power. All three of those handsets pack the new X8 Mobile Computing System mentioned above, and deliver large 720P displays, a generous 2.0 GB of RAM memory and 10.0 megapixel rear cameras.
The Motorola Droid MAXX is a 4G smartphone running on the Verizon Wireless network in the United States, and also delivers on the maximum reference in its name by providing a full 32 GB of built-in data storage, and a large 5.0 inch True HD OLED display. Motorola has included a Quick Capture feature on its rear facing camcorder, which also comes with the new Motorola ClearPixel technology. Traditionally, smartphones use a Bayer RGBG color filter, but Motorola has included an advanced model in the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX, which they say removes blur and noise, and captures more light in low-light scenarios.
The large 5.0 inch screen is protected against everyday abuse with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass, and delivers a resolution of 720 by 1,280 pixels. The rear facing snapper provides autofocus and touch to focus, as well as a built-in LED flash. Video is recorded in 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (1,080P HD resolution) and at the rate of 60 frames per second, and a front facing chat cam with a 2.0 megapixel provides video call and Skype support. You can pre-order the Droid Maxx at a discounted price tag starting at just $199.99 at select online retailers. You can also opt to pre-order directly from Verizon starting at $299.99.
