Droid Maxx by Motorola (Verizon Wireless)

 

The Motorola Droid Maxx has a big battery and a nice build, but it loses some of the Moto X's hand-friendliness.

Verizon has made things very confusing by carrying the $99 Droid Mini, the $199 Droid Ultra and Moto X, and the $299 Droid Maxx. The Moto X is still the best; it’s made from the nicest body material, has the slimmest set of bloatware, and does away...

Motorola Droid Maxx review

 

Motorola's Droid phones tend to arrive in packs. The original Droid RAZR was released just a couple months before the Droid RAZR Maxx -- essentially, the

Great battery life ; Solid build quality, thin frame ; Good overall performance ; Supports wireless charging

Expensive for what it is

The Droid Maxx has excellent battery life and is generally a solid mid-range device. Still, it doesn't offer enough to justify its $300 on-contract price.

After all, your awesome screen, super-fast processor, and mega-megapixel camera are rendered worthless once your phone runs out of juice. Motorola created the Droid RAZR MAXX followed by the Droid RAZR MAXX HD. Both phones had terrific battery life,...

Motorola Droid Ultra and Droid Maxx review

 

Before there was "Nexus," there was Droid. Verizon, Motorola, HTC, and others teamed up to turn the Lucasfilm-licensed term into a synonym for everything great about Android. It deserved the moniker, too: from the original, keyboarded Droid to the...

Lots of useful additions to Android ; Solid call quality ; Excellent battery life

Expensive ; Bland, boring design ; Lots of Verizon bloatware
