Hands On with the Moto Droid 4 and Droid RAZR MAXX

The Droid RAZR MAXX is an upgrade and replacement for the Droid RAZR.

Right?

Wrong.

The Droid RAZR MAXX is more like an alternate version of the Droid RAZR, for people who'd gladly trade the thin-ness of the RAZR for some amazing battery life.

Since the Droid RAZR has a non-removable battery, the RAZR MAXX is akin to a permanent extended battery.

It would have been a little more fair to consumers to introduce both the RAZR and RAZR MAXX at the same time, but now that they're both announced, it's a sensible lineup.

There really aren't any other differences; the features are the same.

The RAZR MAXX comes with 32 GB of built-in memory, just like the original Droid RAZR. But now Verizon also offers a version of the Droid RAZR with just 16GB. They also offer that 16 GB version in three colors: gray, white, and now purple.
