Online Protests Increase Over Motorola’s “Developer Edition” RAZR
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 31, 2012 1 Comments">1
Just a couple of days ago I was saying what a bad move Motorola made with the Droid RAZR “Developer Edition”, and not just because it’s a poor strategy in general to release so many similar (identical?) phones in such a short time, but because this time they are releasing a “new” phone that has absolutely nothing different from what the original phone has, except a small software tweak that they could do for the original one, too. I mean, what’s next? Releasing a “new” phone that only has a different background? So it appears that online protests don’t get …

![Exclusive Review – Droid Razr Maxx Review [Video]](http://1.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/razrmaxtitle1.jpg)
Since the first talk at CES, Android Authority has been following the Droid Razr Maxx for some time now. Released on January 26, the Maxx sports an impressive 3300 mAh battery. That’s enough for around 21.5 hours of talk time! Now that is quite special, however there isn’t much difference between the Maxx and its past brother, the original Razr. With models of the original Razr now offering white and purple, along with the previous option of black stirs up a deep battle. Hardware For hardware it is essentially all the same. It contains the same TI OMAP, 1.2GHz dual-core …
Motorola Announces New RAZR “Developer Edition” with Unlocked Bootloader for Europe
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 30, 2012 0 Comments">0
Was it all a dream? Maybe Motorola doesn’t really want to release fewer models in 2012, or maybe these RAZR editions are just the last we’re going to see of this market flooding strategy of theirs. Either way, it looks like soon we’re going to see yet another RAZR model, this time one that has unlocked bootloader and is destined for Europe. In case you were wondering, it won’t have the 3300 mAh battery that the RAZR MAXX has, even though I think all phones should have that kind of battery, from low-end to high-end, because I think the extra …
Droid Razr Maxx vs. Galaxy Nexus – Battery or Ice Cream Sandwich?
by Derek Scott on Jan 27, 2012 15 Comments">15
I hope you guys are ready for a quick comparison of a couple of the most highly desired Android phones currently on the market. Let’s start off by introducing both the phones. INTRODUCTIONS Droid Razr Maxx In Corner 1 we have “the rookie” the freshly released Droid Razr Maxx who was released on the market on January 26 2012 by Verizon. The Razr Maxx was born from the brains of a Motorola engineer who thought of packaging a higher capacity battery onto the original Droid Razr by Verizon. The Razr Maxx almost never became as there was considerable hesitation from both Motorola and Verizon …
Droid RAZR MAXX Launches Today. Features a Huge 3300 mAh Battery
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 26, 2012 1 Comments">1
The Droid RAZR certainly turned some heads back in November. It was probably the most innovative phone I saw all year design and build wise, thanks to its ultra-thin 7.7mm kevlar body. How can many people can say their phone is protected by kevlar? The only reason it didn’t reach its true potential is because a day later the Galaxy Nexus stole most of its thunder, not necessarily because of the hardware or because of its design, but because it had stock Android 4.0. By comparison, the RAZR had what looked like a year old OS, even if it had …
Results for Q4 2011 Smartphone Sales in the US are Here
by Christine T on Jan 20, 2012 0 Comments">0
Despite the fact that the US smartphone market is thickly populated by Android, Apple’s own iOS platform was able to regain some of its losses in the recently concluded quarter. Based on data collected by statistical firm Nielsen, the 44.5% of consumers who bought a smartphone between October and December chose an iPhone. Prior to the iPhone 4S launch in October, iPhone only had a ranking of 25.1%. Alarmingly, 57% purchased the iPhone 4S when it first came out in the market. As of this writing, Android still holds the commanding lead over iOS, standing at 46.3% US smartphone users. …

After a U.S. International Trade Commission administrative law judge issued an initial determination finding on Motorola Mobility not violating any of the three patents listed on Apple’s October 2010 lawsuit, Motorola is currently celebrating. In a statement after the determination, Motorola Mobility’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel said: ‘We are pleased with today’s favorable outcome for Motorola Mobility. Motorola Mobility has worked hard over the years to develop technology and build an industry-leading intellectual-property portfolio. We are proud to leverage this broad and deep portfolio to create differentiated innovations that enhance the user experience.’ However, this determination does not …

If you’ve been planning to get the Motorola Droid 3, now’s the time to do so.

by Anthony Paul on Jan 16, 2012 1 Comments">1
You win some and you lose some. This seems to be the case for Apple, as the US International Trade Commission (ITC) turned down its bid to ban Motorola’s Droid, Droid 2 and Droid X from being sold in the US.
Sony Xperia Ion vs. Motorola Droid 4
by Brandon Sobotta on Jan 14, 2012 0 Comments">0
Intro Now that the dust has settled from CES, we can dig in and look at some of the new Android tech. Sony and Motorola had many big announcements at CES, with the Motorola Droid 4 (D4) and the Sony Xperia Ion (ION) among them. Motorola and Sony have both been working with Android from early on so I expect a lot from these phones. When comparing them, you will notice some drastic differences that I will explain the significance of and how these differences will affect you when choosing one over the other. The Specs CPU/GPU/RAM At the core …
Droid 4 vs. Droid Razr Maxx
by Brandon Sobotta on Jan 12, 2012 11 Comments">11
Two of Motorola’s big announcements at CES 2012 were the Droid 4 (D4) and the Droid Razr Maxx (DRM). These two phones are similar in many aspects, but they are separated by one key factor: the keyboard. Without looking at any other features of these phones, this can be the ultimate decision maker for many. But if your looking beyond this, there are some other differences that may sway you one way or the other when deciding which to buy (these I will cover below). The Specs Cpu and GPU Processors/Ram The D4 and the DRM each have the TI …
Leaked Verizon Price Map shows Droid 4 for $249
by Alexander Maxham on Jan 11, 2012 0 Comments">0
Yesterday Verizon and Motorola finally put an end to the many rumors we have seen and heard about the Droid 4. Announcing it along with the Droid Razr Maxx, and the Droid Razr coming in purple. Well this newly leaked price map shows us that the Droid Razr will be dropped down to $199 – not that big of a surprise, and that the Droid 4 will be on sale for $249. The $249 price tag is a bit surprising to me, since almost all of Verizon’s 4G LTE devices have been carrying a $299 price tag, but hey who’s …
Up Close and Personal with Verizon’s Droid Razr Maxx
by Alexander Maxham on Jan 11, 2012 6 Comments">6
We had a chance to get up close and personal with Verizon and Motorola’s Droid Razr Maxx. I must say it’s even better then the Droid Razr, while the only main difference is the huge battery that’s in the Droid Razr Maxx, and it’s bump up to 32GB of memory, it’s worth checking out. The Droid Razr Maxx is still just as thin as the original Droid Razr, but at CES it lost it’s title as the world’s thinnest smartphone. But we knew that was going to happen at CES didn’t we? We’ve got tons of pictures for you down …
