Motorola Droid Razr Maxx has a bigger battery without the bulk (photos)

The Motorola Droid Razr Maxx for Verizon packs a powerful battery, but by the looks of it, you couldn't even tell.

More juice for your Droid Razr

The Motorola Droid Razr Maxx for Verizon is very much similar to its predecessor, the Droid Razr. It boasts the same 4G LTE network, the same 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Advanced display, and the same 1.2GHz dual-core processor.

The real difference worth noting for this phone, however, is the juiced-up 3,300mAh battery. So for those already eyeing the Droid Razr, consider the Maxx if you want longer usage time.

Not exactly bullet-proof

The Droid Razr Maxx includes the familiar Kevlar fiber backing, which is also used in bulletproof vests.

No weight after the holidays

Despite jumping from a 1,780mAh to a 3,300mAh battery, the Droid Razr Maxx doesn't have much additional bulk and is only 8.9mm thick.

Holding on to the Maxximum

Saying cheese the same way

The camera on the Droid Razr Maxx is also the same as the Droid Razr. There is an 8-megapixel camera on the back that shoots HD 1080p video, and on the front is a 1.3-megapixel camera.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
