When the very first Droid Razr 4G smartphone came out, the Motorola ad campaign on television and the Internet showed a black, razor-thin projectile that looks much like a smartphone flying through the air at ridiculous speeds and slicing through everything in its path. This was obviously an exaggerated way of showing off the device’s high speed 4G connectivity, as well as the fact that it was the slimmest smartphone ever created at that time. But that original Droid Razr 4G was also designed to be incredibly durable.
True to the original, the current Droid Razr MAXX HD 4G Android smartphone is also slim, though not as thin as the original. It also comes in the typical mobile handset form factor, and is a black, rectangular smartphone. Launched last October 18 on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system, the Droid Razr MAXX HD is designed with a rugged DuPont Kevlar back plate, and the framing surrounding the display is made out of the same grade aluminum used in the aircraft industry.
The Droid Razr MAXX HD delivers a large 4.7 inch 1,080P display for the first time in a Droid Razr handset, and that screen is protected against scratches, chips and other every day abuses by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass. And if you enjoy using your handset at the beach or around the pool, the special waterproof nanocoating the Droid Razr MAXX HD has received will come in handy. That splash resistant coating protects not only the exterior of the smartphone, but also the sensitive electrical components inside.
The durability of the Droid Razr MAXX HD also extends to your personal information, as the handset offers an optional personal identification number locking system. And if you lose your handset or if it happens to get stolen, head to the nearest computer with an Internet connection, and you can erase your handset’s hard drive remotely. The Droid Razr MAXX HD 4G Android smartphone also protects your sensitive calendar, contacts and e-mail information with government level data encryption technology.
Slim for a smartphone at only 0.37 inches (9.3 mm), the Droid Razr MAXX HD offers a large 4.7 inch Super AMOLED screen with 720 x 1,280 pixel resolution. More than 16 million colors are delivered at a rate of 312 pixels per inch, and the handset delivers a generous 21.0 hours of talk time from a full battery charge. Standby battery power runs more than 15 days, and the phone is powered by a dual core 1.5 GHz CPU. 32 GB of internal storage are present, with a microSD slot allowing for storage expansion and offboard data access. The handset also offers an 8.0 megapixel camcorder, recording video at 1,080P HD resolution.
