Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX Review

Score: 64.3 / 100

Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX is an amazing Android phone released back in the year 2012, counting with a 4.3 inches multi-touch screen, an extremely fast Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1200 MHz, and 2 cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.3 MP front side camera.

Motorola decided to power this cellphone with a TI OMAP4430 chip, holding a high speed Dual-Core processor ticking at 1.2 gigahertz with only 1 GB RAM memory which is a little low considering its awesome CPU. Graphic calculations generally eats a lot of CPU time, so this cellphone has an additional PowerVR SGX540 graphic processing unit running at 304 megahertz to help the processor with those tasks. This phone has an interesting 16 GB internal storage and a slot for an SD memory card, which allows you to install hundreds of games and apps without any trouble.

It appears that Motorola forgot about weight optimization in this 5.11 ounces device. About its design materials, the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX is mainly built with Kevlar, which gives a premium feel and improved resistance. This device has an amazing design, with a thickness of just 0.35 inches.

Motorola packed this cellphone with a interesting 4.3 inches display, and a resolution of 960 x 540 , making everything look vivid. Its display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This device is equipped with two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front facing camera. It is also able to capture Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 fps. Additionally, the camera features some interesting characteristics like auto-focus, flash and digital image stabilization.

This cellphone features an incredible 3300 mAh Li-Polymer non-removable battery, enough to provide this phone with an incredible battery life. Motorola informs a 21.5 hs talk time and a 379 hs stand by time for this phone. An issue to take into account is that this phone's battery isn't removable so you can't change it when it begins to live shorter, while with so much capacity you will probably discard this phone before it becomes a real problem.

This cellphone provides WiFi connection (and it can be shared with other devices around, acting as a modem), 4G (LTE) fast connectivity and fast 3G connectivity, over HSPA, UMTS, EV-DO A and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Micro SIM card for GSM services and it can connect to both GSM and CDMA networks.

This cellphone also includes a couple cool characteristics as Bluetooth (4.0, EDR) and GPS Localization, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Motorola sells this phone for $ 150, which is rather expensive for comparing with similar phones. If you want it mainly for internet broswing and social networks, are looking for a gaming cellphone, need it for work or want it to take tons of photographs, you will probably love this phone.
