We recently reviewed the Droid RAZR MAXX and found it to be an overall decent device. The thinness wasn’t are particular favorite as, well, we hate super thin phones that require a claw grip to use normally. But shortly after our review, it was revealed that Motorola was working on a slightly thicker, longer running variant, the Droid RAZR MAXX — the differentiating feature of course being a thicker battery.
Today, the MAXX was officially outed. And as expected, the old 7.1mm design couldn’t be kept. Instead, the larger battery has caused the RAZR’s backside to swell out to 8.99mm in total thickness. Oddly enough, the MAXX was announced without specific details regarding the larger battery within. As such, we’re searching for a concrete number.
In the meantime, Motorola also outed their constantly leaked Droid 4. As far as internal specs go, the Droid 4 isn’t anything special as it shares the 1.2 GHz OMAP4430 processor of the RAZR/MAXX and pretty much every other hardware feature too. That includes 1 GB of RAM, LTE, and plenty more.
The sliding 5-row QWERTY keyboard is of course the star of the Droid 4′s show, however, and features a yet again re-worked design. From what we’ve seen thus far, the keyboard on the Droid 4 is perhaps the best yet in terms of tactile feedback, depth, and size.
Look for Gadgetsteria’s hands-on treatments to accompany this post in the coming days once we begin crawling the show floor.
