Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX HD comes with "ridiculously long battery life" and extra memory

Just like last year, Motorola is making a souped-up version of its RAZR HD, the RAZR MAXX HD. This year it has the HD after its name, hinting that Moto is finally joining the high-res screen party, but will upgrade where it matters again - the battery.

The Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX HD will sport the same 4.7" Super AMOLED HD screen as its non-Maxx version (what, Samsung is lending those to others now?), and dual-core Snapdragon S4, but will sport a huge 3, 300mAh battery, just like last year.

This will allow it the impressive 13 hours of video playback, 21 hours of talk time, 10 hours of streaming video and 27 hours of streaming music over Verizon's LTE network. Here is the full specs rundown from Motorola:

Naturally, it is a bit thicker than the RAZR HD, but given that the latter is sub-9mm, it shouldn't be much of a tradeoff. It also packs 32GB of internal memory, making it a truly flagship Android device. We can't wait to handle the Maxx HD in a moment, as it sports the same great design features its predecessor had, like Kevlar chassis elements. The phone is arriving for Verizon's LTE network, with pricing and availability to be released at a later date.
