The Motorola Droid Razr MAXX HD has been one of the most successful phones Motorola has ever launched. The handset runs on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system in the United States, the largest such network in that country. The Droid Razr MAXX HD has been a consistent bestseller for both Verizon and Motorola, and delivers extreme battery performance, a generous amount of onboard data storage, a speedy processor and a four pronged durability profile. Recently the Droid Maxx was announced, and its upcoming arrival means a new, lower price tag for the Razr Maxx HD.
The handset is ensconced in a protective DuPont Kevlar back plate and aircraft grade aluminum framing body. The front of the phone is also protected with Corning Gorilla Glass, offering scratch and chip resistance from everyday dings and drops. The handset boasts a protective nanocoating which offers incidental liquid contact and splash resistance to both the sensitive interior components as well as the outside of the handset. The Razr Maxx HD launched October 18 of last year in the United States, and recently received a retail price reduction.
The phone sells for around $99 on contract online, and offers global ready access to more than 205 countries around the world. Your personal information and data is also protected, with a remote wipe feature that allows you to erase the hard drive on your Droid Razr MAXX HD from any computer with an Internet connection if the phone should ever become lost or stolen. A personal identification number locking system limits access to your handset, and government grade data encryption is also on board.
The Google Chrome mobile web browser allows for syncing with your desktop Chrome PC version, and NFC wireless access is offered. The skinny 0.37 inch (9.3 mm) profile of the Droid Razr MAXX HD 4G Android smartphone belies its large 4.70 inch display, as well as the all day battery performance the extended life 3,300 mA battery delivers. You can expect as much as 27.0 hours of streaming music while on Verizon’s LTE network, 21.0 hours of talk time and 13.0 hours of video playback from a single battery charge.
Incredibly, that performance can be enhanced even more using Motorola’s SmartActions battery conservation application, and the display mentioned above delivers True HD resolution at 720 by 1,280 pixels. This represents a pixel density of 312 pixels per inch on the Super AMOLED screen. Video can be ported to an exterior monitor or display through either DLNA or microHDMI video out options. Qualcomm has contributed a Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 system chip to power the Droid Razr Maxx HD handset, built around a dual core 1.5 GHz CPU.
A generous 32 GB of built-in data storage space is present, as well as a storage expanding microSD slot. 1.0 GB of LP DDR2 RAM memory is found on board the Droid Razr MAXX HD, as is a rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder which records video in 1,080P HD resolution. A front facing VGA quality chat cam offers Skype and video call support, and YouTube and Picasa applications are ready for use out-of-the-box.
