After the overwhelming success of the Motorola Droid Razr 4G and Motorola Droid Razr MAXX 4G on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system in the US, Android smartphone shoppers were anxious to see exactly what the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX HD would deliver. Launching on October 18 of this year and also on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system, the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX HD delivers up to the HD designation in its name by offering true HD display resolution. The handset also borrows from the skinny motif that began with the Droid Razr 4G, adds the extreme battery life of the Droid Razr MAXX 4G, and stretches the display to the largest found on any mobile smartphone.
The handset also offers some cutting-edge security features like a remote wipe which allows you to remove any sensitive personal and financial information remotely should your phone ever be stolen or lost, and government grade encryption for your e-mail, contacts and calendar. The handset also offers a pin lock, and Verizon scored an exclusive NFL Mobile application for the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX HD. Offered in either black or white, the handset returns the durable and rugged design features the Droid Razr lineup is known for. The screen is protected by a layer of scratch resistant Gorilla Glass, the heavy-duty DuPont Kevlar back plate and aircraft grade aluminum framing have returned, and nanocoating makes the phone splash resistant.
At 0.37 inches (9.3 mm) the handset is slim, and Motorola uses a 4.70. Super AMOLED screen for the display. At 312 pixels per inch, one of the highest designations found on any 4G smartphone, overall screen resolution runs 720 x 1,280 pixels, again at the high end of the mobile marketplace. Standard capacitive, multitouch gestures are used for device navigation, and the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX HD 4G delivers video out wirelessly through DLNA connectivity, and through a wired microHDMI port.
Nearly equaling the 4G best 21.5 hours of single charge talk time its sibling the Droid Razr MAXX 4G delivers, the Droid Razr MAXX HD offers a whopping 21.0 hours of talk time, 13.0 hours of video playback, 27.0 hours of streaming music or 10.0 hours of streaming video from a single charge while in Verizon LTE coverage areas. Battery standby time runs 15.5 days, and the hardware package on board the handset includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 microchip suite. That is centered around a dual core 1.5 GHz Krait processor and Adreno 225 GPU, and the handset delivers a full 32 GB of built-in storage.
A microSD slot provides for storage expansion, accepting cards up to 32 GB in size, and the Droid Razr MAXX HD comes equipped with 1.0 GB of LP DDR2 RAM system memory. The same rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder and front facing 1.3 megapixel chat cam from previous Droid Razr models are back, allowing for video capture at 1,080P HD resolution. The built-in music player features album art cover and background playback, filtering by album, artist and play list. There is also a proprietary YouTube video player on board, and the popular Picasa application has been pre-installed.
