The camera takes great pictures and preforms on command with no lag or stutter like other devices in its class. Couple all those wonderful features with active screen-based notifications and quick-launching camera options, and you find yourself wondering why all androids could not have been like this one! The only bad thing that must be said about this device is the pricing, which is way too high sitting right at about $709.99 (ONLY THROUGH VERIZON). But hey; if you can get past the high price tag for such a premium device, then you may have found what you are looking for in the Motorola Droid Maxx.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Titillium, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">             From a design standpoint, the differences between the Motorola Droid Maxx and other android such as its little brother the Droid Ultra are night and day. It may take a while at first though, until you really start to dig into the device. At a whopping 5.4 inches tall by 2.8 inches wide, the Motorola Droid Maxx stands to be one of the Top 5 big display mobile phones available (only behind the soon to be HTC Maxx, Samsung Galaxy Mega, and Note Series). While overall being the same size as the Droid Ultra, the Droid Maxx happens to be thicker at 0.34 inches versus 0.22 inches. Still not being able to “see” the difference, it’s only when you pick the Droid Maxx up from your coffee table to do you notice this device is packing some seriously heavy hardware! Weighing in at almost 6 ounces (5.9 ounces exactly), the Motorola Droid Maxx “feels” almost twice as heavy than any other android phone currently on the market. Even compared to the Samsung Galaxy Mega, the Motorola Droid Maxx is still much heavier in terms of the user’s impression. Secondly you will notice the Motorola Droid Maxx packs a Kevlar fiber coated back surface – similar to previous generations of Motorola Droid mobile devices. It’s not only smooth to the touch, but you will never have to worry about fingerprint markings again, unlike most other plastic made android devices (Samsung Galaxy S4) that leaves you with fingerprint marks on every corner of the phone.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Titillium, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">             The Motorola Droid Maxx has a powerful yet natural looking 10-megapixel back facing camera with LED flash, with a 2-megapixel front facing camera for Skype or OVO video calling. On that same Kevlar fiber backing is a very large speaker packing big sound and great volume levels. Similar to the HTC One, the Motorola Droid Maxx has built in Boom Sound powered by Beats by Dre, which happens to sound 3 times better than the HTC One’s speaker system if one could believe it! The Droid Maxx has a display worthy of bragging about, with a bright 5 inch HD OLED 720p (1,280×720 pixels) which does not compare at all to the display of current high end android devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One, or LG G2. Despite this thorn; the Droid Maxx produces excellent photos, a great browsing experience, and documents with massive amounts of contextual details. Its overall viewing experience could and can be compared to many other android devices that have 1080p displays and not lose the battle without getting in a few words. While watching a HULU episode of “Misfits” I was still drown away by the episode, not paying any attention to my girlfriend asking me for money, which shows me the screen is not as bad as it may sound.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Titillium, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">             The core hardware components that come packed into the Motorola Droid Maxx include Motorola’s all new X8 Mobile Computing System, which you can find in the other flagship devices by Motorola such as the Moto X and Droid Ultra. This computing core includes a 1.7GHZ dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, which does not have the same raw horsepower as other true “Quad-Core” processors have shown us in other android devices on the market. It turn out though, that unless your just a mobile tech geek like myself and others here at Mobile Technology Talk, you will not even notice the difference in performance from this CPU while completing the same daily task you always do on any other mobile device in the Droid Maxx’s class. Helping all of this is the Droid Maxx’s 2GB of allocated RAM, which comes backed up with your choice of 16GB and 32GB worth of built in memory. Oh, and before I forget, there is also no SD Card Slot for all you out there you demand this feature from your cell phone.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Titillium, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">             Holding all this together is Motorola’s UI called Moto Zap, which takes the overall efforts of our great big brother Google and Google Now UI, and gives its users the option of quick reference for anything from messaging to snapping a quick photo of a friend passing by. Overall this has been a great upgrade compared to what Motorola normally brings use bundled into their mobile devices. It’s a much slicker and smoother UI to navigate, but it still lacks the glamor of a say “Bling Feed”, or the user friendliness of a say “Touch Wiz”. Motorola’s Moto Zap just sets somewhere in the middle, kind of how HTC Sense use to just be an okay but not great UI for the HTC 2008-2010 line-up. Overall it’s not bad, packing Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, you are still able to “ZAP” between applications in a flash without much lag or giveback from the devices hardware or software. Another great feature is the Droid Maxx has Touchless Control, were your device will lightly light up displaying all your updates like messages once they come in. This is a great feature that overtime with Moto Zap can become a great software eco-system for Motorola Flagship Devices.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Titillium, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">             All-In-All, the Motorola Maxx is a great Device! Did I mention it gets THREE FULL DAYS OF BATTERY LIFE! If you are not big on having the latest and greatest hardware specs, and just would like a device with great multimedia features and the latest software money can buy, then grab a Motorola Droid Maxx. For this, we give the Motorola Maxx an 4 out of 5.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Titillium, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.796875px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <br /></div> </div>
