Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX Overview
The Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX is a minor follow-up to the DROID RAZR specs-wise - it has the same display, processor and software - but one major improvement that many will be very grateful for: improved battery life.
Improved is a huge understatement, though, as Verizon and Motorola are touting 21 hours of straight talk time, unheard of even for a tablet. Expect it to be $300 on a two-year contract.

Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX Reviews
The Verge "Actually, scratch that: it is the exact same device, but with a gigantic 3300mAh battery that fills out the original RAZR's distinctive scooped back."
CNET "The Motorola Droid Razr Maxx proves that a powerful Android superphone can remain thin yet still promise marathon-worthy battery life."
Phone Dog "Hate the battery life on your Android phone? Verizon's Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX is just the phone for you."
Android Central "This is the Droid RAZR with a bigger batter. And it's what Motorola and Verizon should have released in November, plain and simple."
Android And Me "There’s no question that the DROID RAZR MAXX is for all intents and purposes merely a DROID RAZR with a big ‘ol battery crammed into a slightly embiggened frame."
Android Community "Enter the DROID RAZR MAXX, a very slightly adjusted version with an extra millimeter or two and a battery capacity that nearly doubles the original, released just two months after for the same price on Verizon. So the question for new buyers is: form or function?"
Android Guys "If you're like me, you use your device heavily, which tends to drain the battery. Extended batteries are always an option, but they typically add noticeable thickness to a device. Motorola is seeking to solve this issue with the Droid Razr Maxx, a newer variant of the Droid Razr, known for its incredibly thin profile."
IGN "The Droid RAZR MAXX offers an inelegant solution to the problem of battery life. Motorola took the Droid RAZR, still the slimmest and one of the fastest phones to date, and filled that empty space with battery."
Tech Crunch "The Droid Razr Maxx throws all those problems into the trash can, and only gains about 18g and 1.89mm in return."
BGR "There is no question that the MAXX version of Motorola’s sleek handset took care of battery life, but is the giant 3,300 mAh power pack enough to make Motorola’s DROID RAZR MAXX one of the best Android phones on the market?"
Tech Radar "The Droid Razr Maxx is the newest Razr to release on the Verizon network in the US. It takes everything you love about the Droid Razr, and fattens it up a bit with a whopping 3,300 mAh battery."
Into Mobile "The Droid Razr Maxx brings you all the power you’d expect from the Droid Razr but it ditches the “impossibly thin” form factor for an extra-large battery."
Laptop Mag "A high-capacity battery inside a svelte design makes the Droid RAZR Maxx a 4G LTE phone with equal parts speed and endurance."
PCWorld "The Droid Razr Maxx packs in a dual-core processor, large battery and LTE in a very thin frame."
Phone Arena "This is a short review of the Motorola DROIR RAZR MAXX. It is similar to the DROID RAZR, but the DROID RAZR MAXX contains a larger capacity battery"
