What better way to celebrate the one-year anniversary of an important smartphone than to reward its performance with a one penny price tag? That is exactly what the Amazon Wireless online store has done for the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX 4G, the one time flagship device for Verizon, and still one of their best sellers. With an on contract price of $0.01, the Droid Razr MAXX 4G delivers a skinny profile, durable and rugged design, speedy dual core processor, 4G LTE connectivity and battery performance only matched by a couple of its siblings.
When the Droid Razr MAXX 4G arrived on January 26 of 2012, the extreme battery life it offered was nearly triple the industry average. Early 2012 was a time of dual core processors entering the mobile handset marketplace, and smartphone manufacturers were continually making phones slimmer and slimmer in an attempt to match the super slim design of the Droid Razr 4G. The problem with a skinny phone is that sometimes battery capacity suffers, meaning that battery performance suffers as well.
Motorola designers have somehow been able to create the perfect marriage between a slim battery and incredible battery life, and the Droid Razr MAXX 4G offers a very generous 21.5 hours of talk time from a single charge. The extended life, oversized 3,300 mA battery has something to do with that performance, as it stands a full 85% larger in capacity than the cell found on the Droid Razr 4G. With the industry average running around 8.0 hours of talk time from a single battery charge for a 4G smartphone, the Droid Razr MAXX 4G offers high level portability.
The Droid Razr Maxx handset comes equipped with a splash resistant nanocoating, Kevlar and aircraft grade aluminum framing and body, and simultaneous voice and data capabilities on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system. Skinny at 0.35 inches (8.99 mm), the handset nonetheless delivers a large 4.30 inch Super AMOLED Advanced screen. Pixel density runs 540 x 960 pixels, and a Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 microchip package powers the Droid Razr MAXX 4G.
Video out is delivered through both microHDMI and DLNA connectivity options, 1.0 GB of RAM system memory has been installed, and the handset offers 16 GB of built-in closet space. A 16 GB microSD card also ships with the Droid Razr MAXX 4G, and the rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder provides video capture at 1,080P HD resolution. The Droid Razr MAXX 4G also offers a front facing chat cam with video call support.
