There was a lot of chest-beating on the part of Motorola about the supposed battery life of the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx so there was only one way of knowing if the OEM was just blowing up smoke.
The Motorola Droid Razr Maxx was then put through a series of real world tests to ascertain whether its battery life is indeed what Motorola claims it t be. And you know what, Motorola wasn’t joking whne it said the battery life of the handset blows other smartphones out of the water.

In short, Motorola and Verizon had a hit in their hands in the form of the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx.
But that is not the only good thing happening to the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx at the moment.

And the best part, the update and be expected to land on the handset this Q1 of 2013.
As it stands, Motorola has already confirmed that the original Motorola Droid Razr Maxx will also get a taste of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
