Motorola RAZR Maxx hands on review

Motorola RAZR Maxx hands on review – gimme Ice Cream Sandwich

Recent smartphone launches have set the bar pretty high for Android – we're looking at you HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S3. And we know the RAZR has the hardware locked down but what else is the RAZR Maxx bringing to the table?

First up, the curious name is all about the massive 3,300 mAh battery that has lasted for up to a whopping 62 hours of mixed use (talk time, video and internet browsing) in Motorola's own tests.

In this refresh of last year's four star, size-zero RAZR, we were disappointed to see Gingerbread staring up at us when we booted up the RAZR Maxx. But Motorola is working on bringing Ice Cream Sandwich to the handset by the end of this quarter so expect to update to Android's latest OS by the end of June.
