Once upon a time I reviewed the Motor
ola Droid Razr (Motorola DROID RAZR review) and I actually really liked it... way more than I thought I would going into the review, especially after past experiences with Motorola hardware.
Then I spent a ton of one-on-one time with my own phone (ie not a review unit), the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. Ice Cream Sandwich goodness, sweet screen, all that awesomeness. And I haven't really had to review a new Android phone since. I must say: It's been nice to just have MY phone for a change. But I've often wondered what I'd think of the Razr now after having spent so much time with the Nexus.
Now, I'm reviewing the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx which is, for all intents and purposes, the same as the Droid Razr but with a larger 3300 mAh battery. And after 24 hours with the Maxx, I realize: This really is a sick device.
It's easy to knock it for the screen resolution and pen tile technology. That's one of the few downsides as far as I'm concerned. But the speed of the device, solid and slick build, and now completely impressive battery capacity makes this phone a true contender for best Android device on the market at this point in time.
Obviously, Nexus devices carry with them a big benefit in that they get their support and updates direct from Google. And for many, this point right here will make or break their decision.
But if you aren't completely tied to that and are interested in getting one of the best Android devices on the market right now, you'd be (IMO) picking between these two devices. And they each carry enough positives that you'd be picking wisely either way you go.
Full review to come.
