The Droid RAZR HD and Maxx HD are finally on their way to Verizon. The new devices are expected to arrive on the 18th of October. The Razr HD and Maxx HD both have crazy long battery operation, with the Maxx model promising 32 hours of normal use.

The sizes of the phones are quite similar, the only real spec differences being 32GB of storage and a bigger battery in the Maxx. Both the HD and Maxx have a 1.5GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM, an 8MP camera, NFC and 4G LTE, and a 4.7-inch 720p display.

How much will they set you back? $199 for the Razr HD and $299 for the Razr HD Maxx. If you are into phones that have long battery life and like larger screen sizes, there is tons to be excited about for the new flagship Droid RAZR line.
Looking for something a bit smaller that also performs quite well? The 4.3-inch Motorola Droid RAZR M recently came to Verizon and is also certainly worth your time and consideration.

Motorola might not be the ‘leading brand’ in the smartphone world, but the new Droid RAZR line shows they certainly can compete with stylish and capable devices. What do you think? Excited by any of the recent Motorola offerings or not?

Intel on a smartphone? You better believe it. While ARM processors might be the masters of the mobile world, Intel hopes that its Atom Medfield processors can help them win over the mobile world. Most of the existing Medfield-based Android smartphones have been relegated to the Chinese market- but no longer.

Today Motorola announced the RAZR i, which is essentially the same thing as the RAZR M, except for it switches out the ARM processor for an Intel x86 processor. The RAZR I will only be a single core processor, but it runs at 2GHz and is said to surpass the performance of comparable ARM dual-cores.

The rest of the specs will stay rather true to the RAZR M, including a 4.3-inch screen, a 960×540 AMOLED display, NFC, 8MP camera and storage options of 8, 16 or 32GB with the option to expand through microSD.

The RAZR i will run on ICS, though Motorola says that Jelly Bean is coming down the road. Pricing has yet to be announced, but it is expected to be released in early October for the European and Latin American markets. As for the U.S and Canada? No word on whether they will see the light of day around these parts, at least for now.
