The Droid Razr MAXX HD delivers a slim profile, 720P display and durable construction. Also on board is a speedy dual core processor, a security conscious attitude and wireless NFC support. But the MAXX in the handset’s title refers to a heavy dose of built-in storage, 32 GB, and what is arguably the best battery performance and maximum running power offered by any 4G smartphone.
The Droid Razr Maxx HD is available at a reduced sale price now starting at $99.99.
Launched on October 18 on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network in the US, the Droid Razr MAXX HD 4G Android smartphone contains a remote wipe feature, personal identification number lock and government grade data encryption to protect your personal information. The handset is offered in your choice of black or white currently, and delivers the slim 0.37 inch (9.3 mm) profile.
A scratch resistant layer of Corning Gorilla Glass protects the display, the tough DuPont Kevlar back plate has returned from previous Droid Razr models, as has the aircraft grade aluminum framing. The handset even protects the sensitive electrical boards inside, as well as the exterior of the phone, with a special water repellent nanocoating. The Chrome for Android mobile web browser has been pre-installed and is ready for use out-of-the-box, and popular applications YouTube and Picasa are also present.
But it is in battery life where the Droid Razr MAXX HD truly raises the bar for every other smartphone. The extended life 3,300 mA cell is capable of providing a full 21.0 hours of talk time after a single battery charge. That single charge also offers a full 10.0 hours of streaming video or 27.0 hours of streaming music over Verizon’s LTE network. You could plausibly even watch a full 13.0 hours of your favorite recorded videos in one sitting. And if voice-guided GPS is your thing, you could routinely drive from New York City to Washington, DC and back, receiving turn by turn directions during the entire 8.0 hour trip.
Extreme battery performance is even accentuated when you use the Motorola SmartActions application which monitors handset use and works to conserve battery power. The handset also offers a large 4.70 inch Super AMOLED screen, with 720 x 1,280 pixel resolution. A Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 microchip package is on board, built around a dual core 1.5 GHz CPU. 1.0 GB of RAM memory has been included, as has a microSD slot for storage expansion. The Droid Razr MAXX HD also delivers a rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder with high res video capture running 1,080P HD resolution.
You can purchase the Droid Razr Maxx HD now starting at $99.99.
