They say necessity is the mother of invention, and that is definitely the case when you consider the existence of the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX 4G Android smartphone. The Droid Razr 4G was designed as the thinnest mobile handset ever made, and while that phone was and continues to be a big hit with smartphone shoppers, battery life is less than spectacular to say the least. The engineers at Motorola went back to the proverbial drawing board, and designed a 3,300 mA battery that would fit onto the body of the Droid Razr, extending talk time while keeping all the high-flying features the Droid Razr boasted.

The result is the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX, a handset which delivers an incredible 21.5 hours of talk time and 16 days standby from a single charge of the 3,300 mA battery. Almost three times the 4G average of 8.0 hours, that is easily the best number offered by any 4G smartphone. Keeping with the original skinny design idea of the Motorola Droid Razr, the handset is still slimmer than almost every other mobile smartphone offering at 0.35 inches (8.9 or mm).
Delivering Google’s Gingerbread operating system out-of-the-box with a promise to upgrade in the near future to the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS, the Droid Razr MAXX 4G also delivers the most out-of-the-box storage of any 4G smartphone at 32 GB. That 4G-best storage includes 16 GB of user accessible, built-in storage, and a removable 16 GB microSD card that ships with the handset.
Exclusive to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system, the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX 4G delivers a high-end resolution pixel density of 256 pixels per inch, for an overall screen resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. That 4.30 inch Super AMOLED screen accepts capacitive, multitouch gestures to navigate the handset, and is protected by an overlay of scratch resistant and glare reducing Corning Gorilla Glass.
The splash resistant, Kevlar and aluminum coated Droid Razr MAXX also contains a speedy processor, a dual core 1.2 GHz Cortex A9 CPU. That processor is part of a Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 microchip set which also includes a PowerVR SGX540 chip that is dedicated to graphics processing. 1.0 GB of RAM system memory is on board, and wraps up the hardware package. An 8.0 megapixel camcorder (rear) and 1.3 megapixel chat cam (front) allow for 1080P HD resolution video capture and video call support respectively.
