When the Motorola DROID MAXX was still in its early stages of development, Motorola mentioned that they were attempting to deliver the best possible battery performance offered by any smartphone thus far. Obviously this means a larger battery, but simply adding big batteries to cell phones make them big, heavy and clunky. Motorola did indeed improve the size of the cell on the Droid MAXX 4G and it stands at an oversized, extended life 3,500 mA. The company also added a unique chip package they are calling the X8 Mobile Computing System, which helps conserve battery power.
You can purchase the Motorola Droid Maxx at select online retailers starting at $249.99, which is a savings of up to $50 over carrier prices. You can also order directly from Verizon starting at a price of $299.99.
The unique package of a dual core central processor, standalone language processing core, individual contextual computing core and quad core graphics processor means that a full eight cores of processing power is on board the Droid MAXX 4G. By sending certain low-power and standard operations to the GPU and those other two individual cores, a much faster and more efficient operation is delivered. This also helps conserve battery power extensively, driving the Droid MAXX 4G to as much as 48 hours of talk time after a full battery charge.
Yes, you read that correctly. The Droid Razr MAXX, according to Motorola, can deliver as much as two days talk time from a single charge, seriously extending the portability and independence of Droid MAXX owners. The handset was debuted in July alongside its siblings, the Motorola Droid Mini and Motorola Droid Ultra, and currently retails for around $249 on contract at select online retail outlets. The max moniker also applies to the handset’s screen size, which runs a large 5.0 inches, protected against normal wear and tear by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass.
Even with that extended life battery, the Motorola Droid MAXX running on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system in the United States is slim, measuring just 0.33 inches (8.5 mm) in thickness. The handset runs the Android 4.2.2 operating system out-of-the-box, and is ensconced in DuPont Kevlar fiber. Resolution runs 720 by 1,280 pixels for a True HD designation, with the phone supporting wireless charging. Motorola has included a generous 2.0 GB of RAM memory as well as 32 GB of built-in data storage space. A mobile web browser provides instant Internet access out-of-the-box, and the handset offers NFC support as well.
Built into the back of the handset is a camera upgrade from previous Motorola Droid models, this rear snapper sporting a 10.0 megapixel sensor and quick capture mode. A simple turn of the wrist instantly launches the camera, so you never miss a shot. Motorola is also debuting their new ClearPixel technology, which they say allows for more light capture in low light scenarios, as well as cutting down on blur and noise. Video is captured in 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (1,080P HD resolution), and built into the front of the handset is a 2.0 megapixel chat cam with Skype and video call support.
You can purchase the Droid Maxx at a discounted price tag starting at just $249.99 at select online retailers. You can also opt to order directly from Verizon starting at $299.99.
