Have you ever felt that your smartphone
battery was never enough to satisfy you? Sure, you love your iPhone, Android,
or Windows phone, but the limited battery life is what has kept your device
from being the ultimate travel companion, especially if your phone is 4G
compatible. Motorola says it has the answer with its Droid Razr Maxx, a phone
which gets the “longest battery life of any 4G smartphone.”
The
Droid Razr Maxx is essentially the original Droid Razr, albeit 0.07 inches
thicker and a little heavier, giving it a more premium feel. The Maxx’s main,
killer difference and “feature,” is its unprecedented battery life. According
to Tech Crunch, the battery life of the Razr Maxx is
twice as better. Meaning, in the real world, you can use the phone’s 4G LTE and
WIFI for about one and a half days before you need to charge it. InfoWorld reports that the Maxx’s battery is
enough for a day, even with “moderately heavy use,” all while using 4G LTE. Motorola
advertises that you can listen to music for two and a half days, non-stop, and that
you can browse the internet for 7 hours in a row, numbers that testing in the
real world is validating. Although the main draw to this Razr is the battery
life, it is a solid phone all around. It has a Super AMOLED display which rivals iPhone’s Retina display,
a dual core 1.2GHz processor, an 8MP camera on the back, a 1.3MP camera on the
front, and, of course, supports for Verizon’s 4G LTE’s network, which is the fastest
4G
network.
The
new Droid Razr Maxx is priced at $299.99 and the price of the original Droid
Razr has dropped to $199.99, making buyers of the battery power starved Razr a
little angry, who bought the phone less than 3 months ago. By focusing on
battery life, Motorola has made its Maxx one of the most sought after phones on
the market (at least at the time this article was written). The only negative
is the fact that Motorola seems to release a new phone everyday.
The Droid Razr Maxx is powered by a 3300mAh
battery, the largest (or at least one of the largest) battery ever seen
on a smartphone. What’s most impressive is that the Maxx is nearly the same as
the Droid Razr and makes no compromises, meaning some technological innovation
was needed to make the Maxx’s other hardware components small, yet powerful.
