Back view of Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX
It's solidly built, retaining the Kevlar-covered rear of the original and we have to say it felt better because of the extra weight and bulk.

1.5 GHz

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich 4G

The Rezound will likely go down as one of the best Android phones ever to launch pre-Ice Cream Sandwich — its incredible display, in harmony with the LTE modem and beefy processor, is simply too great to ignore.

Same Droid RAZR problems in a longer-lasting package The Galaxy Nexus is a great place to wrap up, actually: I concluded my review of the original Droid RAZR by encouraging buyers to pass and wait for the Nexus, which offered a bigger, better screen and Android 4.0.

As you might expect, its price ($299) and the remainder of its long spec sheet are just as hefty as the display: 16GB of storage, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p capture, and naturally, LTE.

Above the screen are the Droid Razr Maxx HD's 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, and proximity and ambient light sensors, as well as a wide notification light, which I love.

Out of all the 4G LTE handsets we've handled, the Rezound is probably the bulkiest.

It has very strong reception and the 4g LTE is very quick.
