We’ve gotten more than enough tips to feel confident about this one: Motorola’s preparing a soak test for Verizon’s DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX. The first editions in the RAZR series will be getting Jelly Bean, though Motorola didn’t go into detail about which exact version. We imagine it won’t be anything higher than Android 4.1.2 as even Motorola’s latest phones haven’t gotten the absolute latest versions of Android yet. Users should still be quite satisfied for the time being, though.
The soak test will help Motorola in the final stretches of testing, and if things go smoothly we could see a rollout within the month. Don’t hold me to that estimation if it doesn’t pan out, though. If you’re signed up for Motorola’s soak test for these particular devices you’ll want to check your inboxes to see how to proceed, as I’m sure a ton of you will want to get your hands on the upgrade.

Funnily enough, my uncle asked me for help with his OG Droid Razr today (he couldn’t figure out widgets). As I was playing with it I realized it had Google Now on it. I double checked the version, in the settings, and yep, Jellybean. He must have gotten it before the update was pulled. It’s surprisingly stable – I had been under the impression that it was pulled due to instability? The only flaw in could see was there was some may lag when trying to enter/exit the app drawer. Past that, it’s actually quite a good experience (tho significantly less feature-filled than the Note 2 and GS3 I use all the time)
if the original Razr gets JB before the LG OPtimus G i will kill the CEO of LG.
Ok everyone, i’m now accepting bets on who would win in a fight to the death – TMG here or Bon-joon Koo (CEO of LG Electronics)
=P
I’m gonna do the Harlem Shake on his face… Don’t ask me how
people still do that bs harlem shuffle?
Finally, definitely been a long wait. Hopefully doesn’t have to soak to long
I guess at&t is trying their hardest to keep their old flagship dead last from updating. Poor One X!
I would be so pissed as a One X owner, I’m glad I returned it that week I did have it
actually HTC dragging their feet. Learn.
how is it HTC? Every other variation of the One X has jelly bean and has been had it for a while now. Even Sprint’s Evo LTE has had it for months.
Umm… That’s a RAZR M in the pic.
nobody cares about your stupid blog.
just ban the derpturd.
To hell with Verizon and moto. I thought with the acquisition that their phones would receive timely updates? Razr still running ICS? #fail
many phones from different OEMs will never receive even ICS. Quit whining and adjust your momo.
#fail
^ you
You must be running Gingerbread or better yet you still have a flip phone you cheap bastard
My colleague got this in December OTA on his Razr Maxx around xmas time.
That was an accidental release, and probably not the exact version that will be going out for “soak” or general OTA.
