Many people know that the original Droid Razr 4G, when it first arrived, was the slimmest smartphone in the world. Subsequent Droid Razr models have also been thin, but Motorola has done a great job with the last few handsets in cranking out impressive battery performance numbers as well. The Droid Razr MAXX HD is a 4G capable smartphone running on the Verizon wireless network that offers overall battery performance which can be argued is the best available by any current 4G smartphone in the mobile marketplace.
That handset also recently received a retail price reduction down to $99 on contract from Amazon, and is exclusive to Verizon’s 4G LTE system in the United States. While the MAXX in the name of the phone may give you some idea of its battery performance capabilities, the impressive security suite the handset delivers has sort of flown under the radar. The Droid Razr MAXX HD delivers out-of-the-box security features that protect your sensitive personal information, and even allow for remote access.
If your handset is ever stolen or lost, simply head to the nearest PC with an Internet connection. You can then access the hard drive on your Droid Razr MAXX HD remotely, wiping it clean. The phone also offers an optional personal identification number locking system, as well as government grade data encryption which can be set to encrypt your contact information, personal and business e-mail, and calendar. And though the handset is slim at 0.37 inches (9.3 mm), battery life is excellent.
The Droid Razr MAXX HD delivers an oversized and extended life 3,300 mA cell, capable of a full 21.0 hours of conversation from a full battery charge. That generous talk time is joined by a full 27.0 hours of streaming music capability, and 10.0 hours of streaming video access on Verizon’s LTE network. The Droid Razr MAXX HD can also take you up to 450 miles using GPS turn by turn directions, and provides a full 8.0 hours of surfing the web or using voice guided GPS navigation with Google Maps.
The high-end battery charges in as little as four hours, and the handset delivers a large 4.70 inch display. More than 16 million colors are delivered at the rate of 312 pixels per inch, and this gives the Super AMOLED screen a high-end resolution at 720 x 1,280 pixels. Closet shutterbugs can use the rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder to record high resolution video at the rate of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (1,080P HD), and the Droid Razr MAXX HD is powered by a dual core 1.5 GHz CPU. The handset also offers 1.0 GB of RAM memory, 32 GB of internal storage and a microSD slot for storage expansion.
