The Motorola Droid Razr MAXX Android handset exists because the Motorola Droid Razr succeeded too well at what it was attempting to offer. When Motorola designed the Droid Razr as the thinnest handset ever to grace the 4G marketplace, that ultra-skinny profile didn’t leave much room for a hefty battery. As a result, battery life suffered. Droid Razr handset owners complained, and the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX was presented as the solution. The handset is an exact replica of the Motorola Droid Razr, with one huge exception. The battery is 85% larger than that offered by the Droid Razr, and delivers a full day’s worth of heavy usage without the need to recharge.

The 3300 mAh cell also benefits from a proximity sensor which shuts the device off after long periods of inactivity, and provides nearly 3 times the average talk time of any 4G handset. Delivering 21.50 hours of run time from a single charge, you can use the handset literally all day long without worrying about finding a plug to charge it up. That battery also provides 16 days standby, which equals the average 4G number.
And surprisingly enough, even adding that mammoth battery does not cause the device to be too bulky or oversized. At 5.15 x 2.71 x 0.35 inches (130.7 x 68.9 x 8.99 mm) and 5.11 ounces (145 g), the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX is only slightly larger than the typical 4G smartphone. At a retail price of $229 with a new two-year contract and data plan, the handset is exclusive to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system. Another area where the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX smartphone excels among all other 4G handsets is in out-of-the-box storage.
The Droid Razr MAXX comes with 16 GB of storage built in and also a 16 GB microSD card, for a total offering of 32 GB out-of-the-box, the most in the 4G marketplace. The hardware profile also includes a graphics dedicated processor and a dual core 1.2 GHz central processing unit as part of the Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 microchip set. A healthy allotment of 1.0 GB of RAM system memory is also on board.
The Droid Razr MAXX offers a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED capacitive, multitouch screen with a pixel density of 256 pixels per inch. That results in an overall resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, and a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass offers scratch resistance. An 8.0 megapixel (rear) camcorder joins a 1.3 megapixel (front) chat cam in the camera combo, and video recording at 1080P HD resolution is achieved.
