Motorola Droid Razr Maxx 4G: The mobile phone is the most widely used mobile computer in today’s society. And while most mobile phone manufacturers are constantly battling to provide a bigger and better display, processor, operating system and feature package than the competition, they often tend to ignore the one feature which most effectively provides portability … battery life. At well over two times the average battery life of the typical 4G smartphone, and independently tested as far and away the most talk time delivered from a single battery charge compared to all 4G smartphone offerings, the Droid RAZR Maxx offers all the admirable features of the Droid RAZR, with the best battery performance offered by any 4G smartphone.

When the Motorola Droid RAZR arrived in November of 2011, it delivered the slimmest profile of any 4G smartphone ever designed. With a massive 3,300 mAh battery, the Droid RAZR Maxx does add a little heft to the thickness of the Motorola Droid RAZR, but still is exceedingly thin when compared to other handsets. The RAZR Maxx measures 5.15 x 2.71 x 0.35 inches (130.7 x 68.9 x 8.99 mm) and weighs 5.11 ounces (145 g). The handset delivers Android’s Gingerbread operating system out-of-the-box, but both Motorola and Verizon promise a delivery of free Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system upgrade in the near future.
Almost doubling the average battery size of the typical 4G handset has provided 21.5 hours of talk time from a single charge, nearly tripling the 8.0 hour average of the normal 4G smartphone. And with a speedy processor and hungry display, that battery life is needed. The 4.3 inch capacitive, multitouch screen uses Super AMOLED display technology to provide 256 pixels per inch pixel density, for an overall screen resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. Standard light and proximity sensors are built into the display, and Corning provides a scratch resistant layer of glare reducing Gorilla Glass as a screen overlay.
Aside from providing the best battery performance of any 4G smartphone, the Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx exclusive to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system also delivers the most out-of-the-box storage of any 4G handset. As part of the hardware package, the Droid RAZR Maxx comes with 16 GB of built-in storage, and an additional 16 GB provided in the form of a microSD card. That hardware package also includes a Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 microchip set, which includes a dual core Cortex A9 central processing chip clocked at 1.2 GHz, and a PowerVR SGX540 chip which is dedicated to handling graphics. 1.0 GB of RAM memory rounds out the hardware profile.
