Good news arrived for Motorola Droid Maxx 4G owners in the form of one of the handset’s siblings receiving Android 4.4 KitKat. Surprising just about everyone, the Google owned Motorola is in the process of rolling out the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system update to Motorola Moto X owners. This comes barely three weeks after the initial announcement that Android 4.4 was going to be available, and kudos to Motorola and Google for getting the Android 4.4 party started this quickly.
You can purchase the Motorola Droid Maxx at select online retailers starting at $99.99.
How does this impact Motorola Droid Maxx 4G handset owners? This actually lends a lot of credence to the recent announcement by Motorola that the Droid Maxx, Droid Ultra and Droid Mini smartphones would all be receiving Android’s 4.4 OS as soon as possible. Motorola also recently announced that their 2012 Droid phones would be receiving Android’s 4.4 boost as well, and this means that the KitKat OS is probably in the works for Droid Maxx smartphones, and will arrive in either mid to late December or early January.
Debuting in New York City with its Droid siblings, the Motorola Droid Maxx earns the max in its name of by delivering arguably the best all-around performance of any smartphone battery. The handset does debut Motorola’s new custom X8 Mobile Computing System, a 720P display, 2GB of RAM and a 10.0 megapixel rear quick capture camera, but the battery life definitely deserve some attention.
The extended life 3,500 mA cell combines with power saving light and proximity sensors and a unique processor configuration to deliver an incredible 48 hours of talk time, web surfing, video watching and downloading after a full battery charge. What makes that performance even more impressive is the power-hungry hardware and features that the Motorola Droid MAXX delivers. The 5.0 inch True HD OLED display and 1.7 GHz customized processor and camera features all require massive battery power.
And the phone can even sit in standby mode for more than two weeks after a full charge. Motorola has debuted the X8 computing system we mentioned above, which includes a natural language processor, a dual core central processor, a versatile and powerful quad core graphics processor and a contextual computing core. Low energy applications and operations are spread across all eight of those processing cores, which allows the central processor to focus primarily on your most important requests. This speeds up operations and performance, and also helps conserve battery power. The phone delivers True HD video recording capability in 1,080P HD resolution with its rear camera, and a front facing chat cam is also on board. You can purchase the Droid Maxx at a discounted price tag starting at just $99.99 at select online retailers.
