The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system update has hit the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX HD, just in time to celebrate the new year. The handset is currently available for around $199 at the Amazon Wireless store online, and is exclusive to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system in the United States. With a slim profile, excellent battery performance, powerful dual core processor and high resolution display, the Droid Razr MAXX HD has been a flagship phone ever since it arrived on the Verizon Wireless network on October 18 of 2012.
The Jelly Bean 4.1 OS update delivers a brand new Google Search experience, as well as improved Google Now personal virtual assistant. Simply opt in, and Google Now will give you weather alerts before you start your day, let you know when the next train is running, deliver your favorite team’s sports scores and give you an estimate of how traffic is flowing. These alerts are of course customized to your specific requirements.
The Google Voice Search allows you to speak directly to your phone with common sentence structure to get the results you need. If you want to know the weather, simply ask, “Do I need an umbrella today?” Your phone will either speak back the answer to you, or deliver quick search results to your display. And if you sign into the built-in Chrome for Android web browser, you can sync all your searches between your phone and your desktop PC.
The Droid Razr MAXX HD 4G Android smartphone offers security with government grade data encryption, a remote hard drive wipe application, and personal identification number lock. Delivered in your choice of black or white handset, NFC wireless support is present out-of-the-box. A Corning Gorilla Glass display overlay offers scratch resistance, and the handset is rugged, designed with a DuPont Kevlar and aircraft grade aluminum structure.
The Super AMOLED display is 4.70 inches, with a resolution of 720 x 1,280 pixels. The battery delivers all-day performance with 21.0 hours of talk time offered from a single battery charge. Single charge results also include 13.0 hours of video playback, 10.0 hours of streaming video and 27 hours of streaming music. The CPU is a 1.5 dual core chip, 1.0 GB of RAM is on board, as is 32 GB of built-in data storage. A microSD slot has been provided for storage expansion opportunities, and the handset’s 8.0 megapixel camcorder is capable of recording video at 1,080 P HD resolution.
