Like the Droid RAZR Maxx before it, the Droid Maxx will take a lot of abuse before you can kill off its battery. Motorola promises up to 48 hours of battery life with mixed use, and it gets pretty close in real life. And like last year, we continue to wonder why Motorola makes two near-identical phones where battery and size is the only real differentiator. We can't imagine why anyone would refuse killer battery life to shave off just a few millimeters from a device's overall thickness.
The Droid Maxx measures 5.41 x 2.8 x 0.33 inches, and weighs 5.89 ounces. It's not as thin and light as some other smartphones out there, but considering the benefit of battery life, it's not a bad tradeoff. The 5-inch display has a 1280 x 720 resolution, which is only a slight disappointment. When compared to the HTC One or LG G2, it's clear that the Droid Maxx isn't nearly as sharp, but in day to day use it's not a terrible ordeal.
Inside, there is a Motorola X8 chipset, which has a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1,700MHz processor and 2GB RAM, along with 32GB of onboard memory storage. It also has 4G LTE connectivity with Verizon's network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC. The camera is a 10MP "Clear Pixel" camera, like the one in the Moto X, but we'll get in depth with that later in our camera section. The Droid Maxx's key feature is its 3,500mAh battery, which should provide up to 48 hours of mixed usage (i.e. phone calls, messaging, music streaming, etc.).
When it comes to specs, there is nothing lacking about the Maxx. It's loaded with just about everything you'd expect from a high-end Android smartphone these days. But unlike other Android handsets, this one has juice for days.
Pros:
- Dual core processor.
- Very fast processor (1500 MHz).
- Lots of RAM (1024 MB RAM).
- Very big display (4.7 inches).
- Extremely high pixel density screen, over 300ppi.
Cons:
- Expensive.
- Filled with Verizon bloatware.
- Difficult to access microSD card slot.
- Camera not as sharp or fast as competition.
