You probably know that the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX 4G Android smartphone that runs on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE wireless network is technically and performance-wise the same in every way to the Motorola Droid Razr except one. Manufactured as the slimmest smartphone ever designed, the Motorola Droid Razr delivers high-end features and performance, but its skinny design leaves little to be desired in the way of battery performance. That’s why the engineers at Motorola pulled the 1,780 mAh battery from the Droid Razr, and replaced it with an oversized 3,300 mAh cell. The result is a 4G-best 21.5 hours of talk time from a single charge, that also delivers a full 16 days standby time.

Many independent blogosphere testers and industry analysts have bragged much more than a full day’s run time from a single charge, with off and on usage. And while battery charge performance is seldom sexy enough to be discussed when handset owners are picking out their new toy, pathetic run time on a handset, even with the greatest feature set, is absolutely annoying. The Motorola Droid Razr MAXX has addressed that. In another 4G-best feature, the Droid Razr MAXX delivers the most out-of-the-box, user accessible storage of any 4G smartphone, at 32 GB. A full 16 GB of storage is built into the handset, and Motorola Droid Razr MAXX purchasers also receive a 16 GB microSD card for off-board storage access.
And in still another 4G-best performance, the Droid Razr MAXX runs on the fastest and most reliable 4G LTE system in the United States, as tested by independent wireless systems reviewer RootMetrics. RootMetrics tested the 4G LTE systems of Verizon Wireless, Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T, and found Verizon posting the fastest up and download speeds, and also posting true 4G LTE speeds more consistently than any of the other competing networks.
And while the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX is thicker than the anorexic Droid Razr, it is still slimmer than almost all 4G smartphone offerings, at 0.35 inches (8.99 mm). The handset comes equipped with a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED capacitive screen of 540 x 960 pixel resolution, delivered at 256 pixels per inch, and protected by a layer of scratch resistant Gorilla Glass. A Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 chip package is on board, including a dual core 1.2 GHz central processor and graphics dedicated chip. 1.0 GB of RAM memory has been preinstalled, and the onboard 8.0 megapixel camcorder provides video capture at 1080P HD resolution, joining a front facing 1.3 megapixel chat cam in the camera combo.
