14 DAY TRIAL // As expected, major carrier Verizon Wireless has just added the DROID RAZR MAXX to its lineup of Android smartphones. The handset is a bit pricey even with a new two-year agreement, as customers will have to shell out no less than $299.99 (230 EUR) for this one.
Obviously, the no-term price is even higher, as Verizon customers who want to avoid being tied by a long-term contract will need to pay $649.99 (495 EUR) upfront.
Motorola wanted to build a phone that is capable to last almost a day of full use. This is why the DROID RAZR MAXX embeds an impressive 3300 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is rated by the manufacturer for up to 21 hours of talk time (not continuous usage) or up to 368 hours of standby time.
This makes the smartphone a bit thicker than its twin brother, the Motorola DROID RAZR, which is only 7.1mm thin. The DROID RAZR MAXX measures 130.7 x 68.9 x 9 mm and weighs 145g (battery included).
The rest of the specs sheet seems to be similar with the original DROID RAZR with one small exception: DROID RAZR MAXX sports a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera, while the original model features a slightly better 2-megapixel secondary camera.
LTE and Bluetooth 4.0 support are included as well, along with Wi-Fi, HDMI port and active noise cancellation with dedicated mic.
The 8-megapixel rear camera features autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, while the built-in GPS receiver features GLONASS support.
The DROID RAZR MAXX comes with the same stunning 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Advanced capacitive touchscreen that supports 540 x 960 pixels resolution and 16 million colors.
Nothing’s changed inside either, as the phone is equipped with a 1.2 GHz dual core processor and packs 16GB of internal memory, 1GB of RAM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB, 16GB memory card included).
