14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola RAZR MAXX has just been introduced in the UAE. The smartphone is one of RAZR’s sequels, but with a much better battery. The handset can be purchased via major retailers in the UAE for a suggested retail price of 2,299 AED (625 USD or 500 EUR).
Powered by Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread platform at launch, Motorola RAZR MAXX has been scheduled for an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade sometime in Q2 2012.
Due to the fact that it packs a 3,300 mAh Li-Ion battery, the RAZR MAXX is a bit thicker than the Motorola RAZR. The phone measures 130.7 x 68.9 x 9 mm and weighs around 145g (battery included).
According to Motorola, the high-capacity battery should provide up to 25 days of standby time or up to 17.6 hours of talk time. Expect continuous usage time to be much lower than the previous numbers.
“RAZR MAXX isn’t changing the rules - it’s creating a whole new game. Building on the RAZR heritage it combines the pinnacle of design with mind-blowing power and an incredible battery life that is perfect for people who want to push their smartphone to the limits,” said Raed Hafez, managing director for Motorola Mobility, Middle East & Africa.
