Switching to Verizon soon, and i've been reading up on both phones. I've heard and read about a lot of problems with the Turbo 2. Definitely want to go with Motorola, so i'd appreciate some feedback. Thanks.
I am using Droid Turbo 2 for a past couple of months, i would recommend you to get Turbo 2 over Moto X Play, it's camera quality is super and battery timing is great too

Thinking of taking the plunge to the Razr HD but not sure what to get. Would you get the RAZR HD Dev edition or the Maxx? I will be paying outright to keep my unlim data with Verizon. The unlocked edition is tempting to mod it but so is the extended battery life of the Maxx. I'm a fairly heavy user coming from the Galaxy Nexus that wasn't cutting it in the battery department.
I was torn with the decision too (coming from a Thunderbolt), but ultimately I went with the Razr Maxx HD. I am confident enough that with fastboot and kexec (once a Razr HD hack is available), that needing an officially unlocked bootloader is not required to satisfy my power-user needs.
Loving the Maxx thus far. Rooted it within the first 10-minutes of powering it up. It just "feels" like a good phone. Great build quality (doesn't feel cheap/plasticy like Samsung phones) and the weight isn't much different than my T-Bolt. And I am really looking forward to experiencing what multi-day battery life feels like. I rocked the Rezound battery in my Thunderbolt, and for the phone got good battery life, but I would never go overnight without charging since it would be at 20-30 by the time I would head to bed.
Looking forward to what the dev community has in store for this phone!
I just bit the bullet and paid for the dev... although the above poster is accurate I just like knowing that my device will be unlocked from day 1... the battery is still miles above older phones.

Can't seem to find any benchmarks. does anybody know which device is faster? I'm assuming the the Razr HD maxx. But by how much?
I'm considering buying one of em if I can't get the Nexus 4.
They vary, to be honest.
D4
Quadrant: 2,535 to 2,955
HD
Quadrant: 4110 to 4315
Have you ever held/looked at the Droid 4? The screen is atrocious when compared to the HD.
Had one for less than a day. Just my $0.02

Nope. I have the the moto milestone (basically droid 1) So anything better than that screen is good enough for me.
I'm also from canada and I was debating which phone to get if I can't get the Nexus 4 and sadly, the D4 and Maxx isn't available in Canada.
I specifically want to get either the Razr M or the Razr HD Maxx.
Since you guys already have been working on / with this phone, can you give me some pros and cons for the Razr M or the Razr HD Maxx vs the iPhone 5.
One thing I already know for a fact is the Razr family Battery > ANY iPhone Battery
Cheers!

Here is my thread on jumping from the M to the Maxx HD... it got locked with some trash talking. I guess the Mods close threads instead of dealing with people pooping in other peoples threads... Regardless it lays out good and bad of both devices pretty well.

I've been using an iPhone for the past few weeks, and my RAZR HD should be here by the end of the week. I can give you a full rundown of both devices.
I wouldn't even consider the RAZR M. The screen isn't the best. It's low res and pentile. I would chose either the RAZR HD or the RAZR MAXX HD.
Honestly, I can't wait to get my hands on it. The iPhone just has way too many limitations.

I sincerely look forward to your rundown comparison. Keep me posted!
I went with the regular HD over the MAXX with some concerns over battery, but I use my phone thought my day in wireless retail and it is my only contact with my DM who texts 40 - 50 messages a day and I rarely get under 30% battery after using it from 0800 to 2300-2400
I would say save a penny and go with just the HD

Unless you prefer a phone closer in overall size to the iPhone, I would definitely go with the HD. The M has decent battery life but the screen is definitely not as nice as the other devices. It is slightly wider than the iPhone which is helpful if like me you have thick fingers. Personally, I went for the Razr Maxx HD for the even wider screen and subsequently easier typing and the crazy battery. The storage capacity is also nice addition.
If you do opt for the Maxx HD, I'd get if from Amazon Wireless instead of Verizon because it's only $149.
If you are coming from an iPhone and plan on taking any pics I would strongly advise against the RAZR m. Its camera is anemic. My dad just got the Maxx HD. Its camera is tolerable. Battery and signal have been great tho
My RAZR HD arrived today.
Do far:
Great battery life
Solid construction
Very nice screen(better than my S3)
Strong wifi a cell signals
Pretty snappy(I haven't updated it to Jelly Bean yet)
Android OS. It's just so much smarter than iOS. I can tether without jail breaking, and the notification bar is smart(version the app menu Apple calls their notification bar).

Hello everyone. I am not new to XDA but I do alot of reading and can generally find the answer to my question by XDA, Google, or some other forum. However, I am having a bit of a time with this question. I am brand new to Motorola...I am a Samsung guy but my wife likes these Motorola so in an effort to keep her happy I bought her the Droid Maxx. But as I was searching I have seen the name Maxx, Razr Maxx HD, Ultra, X all used when I think that I am only looking for Maxx. I have especially seen Ultra/Maxx used simultaneously.
**So my question: are these phones, at least basically, similar. I know there will be some difference but I'm wondering why they are grouped together (like Ultra Maxx and X) if there would be major differences? Just trying to understand so I can get the best information
Like I said I am Samsung so very new to Moto and just trying to understand so I can help her with her phone. Thanks for any clarification to this and if there is a thread that clears this up I apologize but I couldn't find it when I did my search.
For 2013, Motorola's newest releases are all very similar, aside from physical design.
There is the Moto X, released on many different carriers, and then the Verizon specific DROID lineup: Mini, Ultra, and Maxx.
These four devices all share the same processor and screen resolution. The DROID Mini has an LCD screen versus the AMOLEDs on the other three, and of course the battery capacity will vary.
On XDA, they have one forum for the DROID Mini, Ultra, and Maxx, and then a separate forum for the Moto X. Unless specified otherwise, any sort of modification created for the DROID Ultra will be compatible with the Mini and Maxx as well. Much of the discussion, however, is regarding the DROID Maxx (imo).
Motorola's RAZR brand is not being used this year (currently), and so those are all previous generation devices. 2011 being the DROID Razr, and 2012 was the DROID Razr HD. Both had 'Maxx' variants with the higher battery capacity.
Thanks for that reply. That makes sense and clears up alot of my confusion!

All,
Will a Verizon Motorola Droid Razr Maxx use the same roms as Motorola Droid Razr HD? My parents both have Verizon Motorola Droid Razr Maxx and I'm thinking it would be a good idea to put a custom Rom on both of their phones. I used to have a rooted HTC droid Eris and Motorola Droid Global. So I have somewhat of an idea of what I'm doing. The only problem is I want to make sure that these roms will work on their phones.
Also, extremely dumb question since everyone will say something different but what is the best stable ROM out there for reliability? I remember HTC sense being ultra easy to use with the stock overlay of just clicking phone at the bottom etc.
Thanks,
Chris

No. The Razr Maxx HD is the same as the Razr HD, which was released in Oct 2012.
The droid razr maxx (the one you mentioned in you post) uses the same roms as the droid razr, both phones were released in 2010/2011 time frame I think.
-- Dan
The Razr and Razr HD also run different processors. Like Dan said, they ROMs aren't interchangeable. Also, you cannot unlock the bootloader on the Razr, so you'll need to use SafeStrap to flash ROMs. For more info, I would go over to the Razr forums.
