A few of the important factors which smartphone shoppers take into account when choosing a mobile handset are operating system efficiency, upload and download speeds, wireless connectivity and battery performance. In those regards, the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX HD 4G Android smartphone which runs on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system deserves some attention.

Launched on October 18 in the United States, the handset is also super secure. A remote hard drive wipe allows you to protect your sensitive information if your handset is ever lost or stolen, and the Droid Razr MAXX HD also delivers a personal identification number lock and government grade data encryption.
