The manufacturer however assured everybody that a quick upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is in the offing for the handset.
Since its release back in September, we’ve been waiting for the news for Motorola to keep its word and give the Motorola Droid Razr HD a taste of the latest iteration of the Android mobile operating system. for those rocking the handset for their mobile weapon of choice, that wait is almost over.

This simply means that the rollout of the Jelly Bean refresh to the Motorola Droid Razr HD is just around the corner and could happen any day now.
With this in play, those who rock the Motorola Droid Razr HD are now advised to be on the lookout for that little notification that lets them know that the Android 4.1 update has already landed on their respective handsets.

But come to think of it, this is a minor aggravation compared to the joy you will fell once Jelly Bean finally lands on your Motorola Droid Razr HD, yes?

No specific date has been mentioned so far as to when the update will land but be assured that it is already headed to your Motorola Droid Razr HD.
