The Motorola Droid Razr MAXX 4G delivers a very unique style with its Kevlar and aluminum coated splash-proof chassis and clipped corner design. Kevlar is the compound which is used to make bulletproof vests, and the display on board the Droid Razr MAXX is just as protective, as it is equipped with a scratch resistant layer of Corning Gorilla Glass. As a multifunctional device, the handset can dock into the Lapdock 100 and instantly transform into a 10.1 inch laptop with full keyboard and track pad.

Also capable of Desktop PC metamorphosis, the optional HD Station provides three extra USB slots and an HDMI cable, allowing the Droid Razr MAXX owner to hook up a large screen HDTV or monitor, mouse and keyboard and use the powerful processor on board to surf the web, play games and use apps on a larger display.
And recently Verizon Wireless, the exclusive 4G LTE home of the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX, made purchasing the handset even more attractive. They announced that the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) 4.0 Android operating system will complete an over the air transfer to the handset by the end of June. In tandem with that announcement came a retail price reduction to $149 with a standard new two-year activation and data plan at select retailers.
You could call the Droid Razr MAXX the fatter twin sibling of the Motorola Droid Razr 4G that was designed as the thinnest handset ever built. Everything being relative, being fatter, or thicker, than the skinniest smartphone ever built still means that the Droid Razr MAXX 4G is slimmer than the vast majority of 4G smartphone offerings. The handset is only 0.35 inches thick (8.99 mm), yet delivers all the same high flying features found in the skinnier Droid Razr that offers poorer battery performance.
The 4.30 inch Super AMOLED display on the handset employs capacitive, multitouch gestures to navigate the device, and delivers over 250 pixels per inch for an overall screen resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. Built-in light and proximity sensors enhance the performance of the 3,300 mA battery on board, delivering far and away the best battery performance of any 4G smartphone, at 15 hours of video playback or 21.5 hours of talk time from a single charge.
A Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 microchip package is on board, and that includes a dual core 1.2 GHz Cortex A9 CPU and PowerVR SGX540 graphics chip. A full 1.0 GB of RAM memory is on board, as is 16 GB of built-in storage. Providing the most out-of-the-box, user accessible storage of any smartphone at 32 GB, the handset also ships with a removable 16 GB microSD card. The rear mounted 8.0 megapixel high-resolution camcorder provides video capture at 1,080P HD, and a 1.3 megapixel chat cam is up front. Buy the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx starting at $149.
