For all the Droid Razr Maxx's speed, picture quality was solid, with clear images and detail.

The dual core processor definitely shines also, with web browsing feeling the smoothest I've ever seen on a phone before.
Droid RAZR MAXX by Evan (May, 2012)
Call quality is good with a few different settings, and web browsing and the app market are very fast with the dual core processor.

My primary complaint with the camera is there is no way (that I've discovered) to change image resolution.
Droid RAZR MAXX by J.-Green (May, 2012)
Despite the 8 megapixel, camera is low quality, especially when compared to the excellent Galaxy S2 camera.

Performance Real world tests of Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX vs Motorola ATRIX 2

cpu speed

Processor speed is snappy and playing video, browsing, games and general usage are good.
Droid RAZR MAXX by Sven--Sven (Jun, 2012)
Still, these changes are somewhat incremental, as the processor speed hasn't changed and it still only supports HSPA+ and not AT&T's nascent LTE network.
ATRIX 2 by c|net (Oct, 2011)

talk time

1,290 min
510 min
The phone is rated by Motorola to offer 21.5 hours of talk time and close to 16 days in standby mode.
Droid RAZR MAXX by c|net (Oct, 2012)
More moderate use with a combination of web browsing,gaming,music, and watching videos through out the day I can get between 12-18 hours of use out of before I need to charge it.

In fact, I find the LCD display here to be bright and crisp with sharp, readable text even at tiny font sizes.

The phone's screen is mirrored on the larger display as well, so you can still access your phone's contents and functions in this configuration.

It has the same slab design, and since it still has a 1GHz dual-core processor and HSPA+ speeds, it's not that much faster.

That's REALLY good given how massive this battery is...The battery is big, but not much bulk is not added.
