Droid Maxx Specs and Release Date on Verizon: Aug. 20, Pre-Order Available Now for $299.99
Verizon unveiled its latest flagship phone on Tuesday, the Motorola Droid Maxx. We've got the specs right here.
The Maxx is the successor to Motorola's popular Razr Maxx, though the company has dropped the "Razr" moniker, presumably because all its phones are now impressively thin.
The Droid Maxx is only 8.5 mm thick, 9 percent thinner than the Razr Maxx HD. But it boasts a full 50 percent increase in battery life -- up to two full days of runtime between charges. That's far more than any other comparable phone, though the Samsung Galaxy S3 could surprise us in September.
The Droid Maxx also utilizes a new set of processors produced by Motorola called X8. It has eight-cores, though they work on different processes: four for graphics, one for app multitasking, one for contextual commands and one for language processing.
It should also be pretty resistant to damage. The Droid Maxx has a Gorilla Glass screen, but the backing is Kevlar (yes, the material in bulletproof vests).
The Maxx hits Verizon Aug. 20, but it's available for pre-order now. With a two-year contract, it will cost $299.99. Check out the hands-on video and full specs below.
Full specs:
The Droid Maxx features a 1.7GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor with proprietary Motorola's proprietary X8 computing system, 2 GB of RAM, a 5-inch 1280 by 720 pixel AMOLED display with 294 ppi, a 10-megapixel rear-facing camera with 1080p video, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, 32 GB of internal storage, a high-capacity 3500mAh battery with up to 48 hours of talk time and runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
