Android Low Battery Screen

You may have heard of the Droid RAZR by Motorola. It’s Motorola’s flagship device that boasted the “Word’s Thinnest Smartphone” title during this past Christmas season.

Well there is great news buzzing around. Motorola just re-released their RAZR phone, but this time with a bigger battery. That’s right Motorola finally decidd to do something about the standard for batteries in smartphone.

If you own a touch screen smartphone (whether iPhone, Android, or Windows) you know that the biggest con is the low battery life. I own Motorola’s Droid 2 and it only lasts on average 18 hours. Every evening it has to be charged up, and sometimes during the day if it’s used a lot. When 4G came into our area, many 4g users noticed an extra drain on their batteries due to the phone maintaining a better connection all the time. So battery drainage has been a constant problem among the new mobile phones. Well Motorola decided that it was time to go back to the days where a phone would last a few days on a single charge. And their new RAZR MAXX is the one.

Motorola’s Razr sports a 3,300 mAh pack that Motorola reckons is good for up to 21.5hrs of talk time. This should mean up to 16 days on standby, with users getting anywhere in between. Although it’s a tad bit thicker than the original Droid Razr,  This is a huge deal, especially since this phone still has all it’s other cool features: 4g, gorilla glass, Android OS, dual-core processor, front and back facing cameras, 1 GB ram, 32GB memory, and much more.

So maybe the days of phones only lasting one day on a charge is coming to a very anticipated close.

I will note that the new Droid Razr Maxx is noticibly larger, and is debatable on whether it should carry the Razr name.
