Like clockwork, Motorola and Verizon have refreshed their joint Droid lineup, and we"re here to check out all three devices. The two more premium handsets, the Droid Ultra and Droid Maxx, are the most promising of the bunch for advanced users, replacing last year"s Droid RAZR HD and RAZR Maxx HD and offering the requisite 4G LTE connectivity. Both of those smartphones were at the top of their game in 2012, and that trend appears to continue here -- the Ultra and Maxx are very similar, with the latter boosting the battery capacity, enabling power users to make it through a full day.

Like its predecessors, the Ultra and Droid Maxx (pictured above) sport Kevlar bodies, both of which look sleek and feel sturdy. The Ultra we saw has a glossy red finish, which Motorola helpfully suggested is "a lot like a sports car." The Maxx, on the other hand, has a soft-touch black finish. At any rate, we prefer the Maxx"s look; as we"ve said about Samsung"s Galaxy lineup, a glossy, plasticky finish tends to look cheaper. Both phones feature a 10-megapixel camera with a f/2.4 lens; we"ll have to wait for our review units to test the shooter"s mettle.

What the Ultra"s design does have going for it, though, is an extra-thin profile. At 7.18mm, it"s already being touted as the "thinnest 4G LTE smartphone available." At 4.94 ounces, it feels very light, and though it sports the Droid family"s usual boxy form factor, the edges are gently curved to make for a nice fit in the hand. It packs a 5-inch, 720p Super AMOLED display, which, while not quite as pixel-dense as the Mini"s 4.3-inch TFT panel, offers crisp images, vibrant colors and wider-than-average viewing angles. The Ultra is priced at $199, 100 bucks higher than the Mini and 100 lower than the Maxx.

Apart from the different backings, the Maxx is very much like the Ultra, with that same 5-inch HD display. The biggest exception, of course, is the beefier battery; its 3500mAh pack is larger than the Ultra"s 2130mAh cell, and it"s even bigger than the RAZR Maxx"s. Motorola said it will last about 48 hours with "normal usage," though we imagine crazy techies like us would see a few hours less. On contract, the Droid Maxx will go for $299, though it will also be available for an unsubsidized $699 (the Ultra will be offered for $599). Like the Ultra, it will be up for pre-order until it launches on August 20th.

All three new phones pack 2GB of RAM, with 16GB of internal storage for the Ultra and 32 gigs for the Maxx. When we poked around on the Ultra and Maxx today, the phones" dual-core processors seemed speedy. It"s worth expounding on that processor, since "dual-core" isn"t the whole story: both phones feature Motorola"s new X8 arrangement, which includes two dual-core, 1.7GHz Qualcomm 8960 Pro CPUs plus a quad-core Adreno 320 GPU and two additional contextual cores. That setup may explain the numbers we saw in some hastily run benchmarks.

On Quadrant, the chip turned in a score of 8,775, which falls significantly short of quad-core competitors but is none too shabby for a dual-core processor. On the comprehensive AnTuTu test, the processor scored 18,553, which is also pretty solid. On SunSpider, the Ultra and Maxx"s silicon notched a laudable 844ms (remember: lower numbers are better in that test). We also ran the CPU test CF-Bench, and got an average result of 14,357 -- also quite respectable.

Of course, Motorola and Verizon also touted the devices" new software features. The Droid Zap features lets you share photos between Droid devices by uploading photos to the cloud and bringing it down when you use a swiping gesture. Active Display, on the other hand, displays previews of notifications when you pull the phone out of your pocket. These new features, along with the Ultra and Maxx"s impressive early performance numbers, have us excited to jump into full-review mode. We"ll follow up as soon as we can with in-depth reviews, and in the meantime you can tide yourself over with the video preview below.

Fans of the Droid Maxx series finally have something to get excited about. After two years of waiting for a sequel, Verizon and Motorola finally teamed up again to release a worthy successor to its first Maxx, the Droid Maxx 2.

The Maxx 2 is actually a re-branded Moto X Play, which is a more affordable version of the Moto X Style. It features a good balance of mid-range and high-end specs. Since the Moto X Play isn’t available in the States, we welcomed the Maxx 2 with open arms.

Motorola doesn’t make the flashiest phones in the world, but the company knows how to build quality handsets. Whether it’s an entry-level Moto E or the flagship-caliber Droid Turbo 2, Motorola always invests a lot of time in its craftsmanship.

A major highlight of the design has to be its size, which is 148.0 x 75.0mm. The iPhone 6S Plus is 158.2 x 77.9mm, which is much bigger. Considering that both phones have massive 5.5-inch screens, the Maxx 2 has a clear advantage. It’s a lot easier to use and hold one-handed.

The downside is that the Maxx 2 is thicker. It’s actually 8.9mm at the sides, but the rounded back pushes it to 10.9mm at its thickest point. In comparison, the iPhone 6S Plus is only 7.3mm thick. However, the Maxx 2’s rounded back gives you the impression that it’s thinner than it actually is.

Although Motorola didn’t open up its Moto Maker customization engine for the Maxx 2, the removable back can be swapped out for a different color, which is arguably a benefit because you can change it any time you want.

Mid-range phones usually come with a below-average screen to keep the price down. However, the Maxx 2 sports a generous 5.5-inch 1080p screen, which equates to a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. This is the sweet spot, since it offers the perfect balance between viewing experience and battery life.

The screen is an LCD panel instead of the traditional AMOLED screen that we’re accustomed to on past Motorola phones. As such, it’s technically not as energy-efficient, but the battery size more than makes up for that. Although the colors don’t pop as much as they would on an AMOLED screen, the Maxx 2 looks sharp and viewing angles are very good. Plus, it performs well in sunlight, which is usually the case with LCD panels.

The Droid Maxx 2 features the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor. Although a mid-range chip, it’s more than adequate for just about anything you can throw at it. Videos and games play smoothly, and I didn’t notice any stuttering or lag when navigating the user interface or opening and closing apps.

Battery life is becoming increasingly important because so many phones continue to fail to last through an entire day. Motorola has been a leader in battery life ever since the company introduced the Droid Razr Maxx back in 2012.

The Maxx 2 sports a whopping 3,630mAh battery, which is rather large for a phone of this size. The similar-sized iPhone 6S Plus only has a 2,750mAh battery, and the larger Galaxy Note 5 features a 3,000mAh battery. As such, the Maxx 2 is one of the most dominant phones in terms of battery life.

In our battery rundown test in which we play continuous video while the phone is connected to 4G LTE (not Wi-Fi) and the display is set to about 60 percent brightness, the Maxx 2 performed spectacularly. It went from 100 percent to 0 percent in 11 hours and 4 minutes. How does this translate in real life? Motorola promises 48 hours, which is not out of the realm of possibility with moderate use. Last weekend, I went from Friday morning well into Sunday without charging it once. Power users are likely to be limited to 30-36 hours, but even that’s phenomenal.

When it comes to most smartphones, you begin to panic when you hit 30 percent battery, but 30 percent on the Maxx 2 is like 80 percent on most other phones.

On top of the amazing battery life, you also get quick charging capability, or as Motorola calls it, “turbo power.” That’s just another term for Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0.

If you do find yourself in a pinch, you can juice up pretty darn fast using a quick charger. Starting from 0 percent, our tests showed that the Maxx 2 will charge to 25 percent in just 20 minutes, 50 percent in 45 minutes, and 100 percent in 2 hours. This means that you can grab 12 hours of life after just 20 minutes of charging, or about 24 hours after just 45 minutes.

The downside is that a quick-charging compatible charger doesn’t come in the box. You can buy one directly from Motorola, or any third-party charger will work, as long as it’s certified with Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 standard.

Motorola has never blown anyone away with its cameras, but the company has improved greatly over the past couple of years. The Droid Maxx 2 sports a 21-megapixel main rear camera along with a 5-megapixel front-facing lens. When you consider the rear cameras on the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are 12-megapixels and the Galaxy S6 sports 16-megapixels, this is very generous for a phone in this price range.

However, it’s not all about the megapixels. Megapixels only make it easier for you to crop images, but none of that matters if the quality is subpar. The Maxx 2 handles brightly lit situations very well, but the lack of optical image stabilization shows up in low-light shots, in which a decent amount of noise is present. There is a Night Mode, which does cut down on the noise, but at the expense of lowering the megapixel count down to 3.7. Ouch.

Although it has a high megapixel count, the Maxx 2 cannot record 4K video. This isn’t going to be a big deal for most people, though. It can record up to 1080p (1920 x 1080) at 30 frames per second, which is more than enough.

The Droid Maxx 2 runs Android Lollipop 5.1.1 out of the box, which is a bummer since the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update has been available for over a month. However, Motorola and Verizon promise that the Marshmallow update is coming very soon.

What separates Motorola from other Android manufacturers is its software on top of Android. While other manufacturers continue to muck up Android with a different look and useless apps, Motorola preserves the pure Android experience and includes some very useful features.

New for this year is Moto Loop, which again, shows Motorola’s prowess in offering stuff that fits into your everyday life. This app is the perfect way to keep track of each family member’s location and also offers the ability to send messages to each other. You can set certain locations where family members can auto check in. That way, you will be notified when your child gets to school and home, plus, you can always check the real-time location as well. If this isn’t enough, Moto Loop can also automatically control your Nest Thermostat or Philips Hue lights when you get home.

Droid Zap, a past Verizon exclusive, is also back with the Droid Maxx 2. This app allows you to share photos and videos directly with other friends near you. It’s perfect for parties and group outings. It’s available on other Android phones, as well as iOS (Motorola Zap), so your friends don’t have to own a Droid-branded phone.

Motorola’s Limited Warranty for the Droid Maxx 2 covers fixes for one year. After that, you’ll have to pay for repairs or to extend your coverage. Motorola will not repair or replace phones that have water damage, either. Out-of-warranty repairs cost $175. You can read more about the limited warranty here.

The Maxx 2 has a special screen program, which isn’t as extensive as the ShatterShield promise Motorola offers on the Droid Turbo 2. Motorola will give you one free certified replacement within 2 years of purchase, if you break yours.

Motorola offers a few more paid options for those who need more protection. Moto Care Accident Protection covers accidents that affect the functionality of the device, like drops and spills. It comes with an additional 3 or 12 months of Motorola’s standard limited warranty. It’s more expensive, though, and prices vary widely based on how many months you signup for and what device you have. Prices are between $15 – $70 for 15 months of coverage or $25 – $100 for 24 months of coverage.

The $13-$20 Moto Care Extended Service Plan covers an additional 12 months of Motorola’s standard limited warranty, with an unlimited number of claims and low deductible.

On the other hand, the recently announced HTC One A9 will work on Verizon, but it costs $500. The best competitor might be the Google Nexus 5X, which sells for $400. It will work on Verizon, and it has a better camera, but its battery life can’t hold a candle to the Droid Maxx 2, and we don’t recommend it as a viable alternative, based on our terrible experience with the phone.

The Droid Maxx 2 is exactly what the Honda Accord is for automobiles. You get rock-solid performance with a near luxurious experience for a lot less money.

The Verizon execs just got off the stage where they announced the Droid Turbo 2 and Maxx 2 juggernauts, and it seems that the devices will be released as soon as Thursday, September 29th in 1600 Verizon retail stores, as well as online.

The Turbo 2 comes with a Snapdragon 810 processor, 5.4" Quad HD AMOLED display, 21MP rear camera, and 5MP front camera with wide angle lens. The TurboPower 3760 mAh battery can last two days on a charge, and with the TurboCharge tech in can be juiced for 13 hours of usage in 15 minutes. The Droid Maxx 2, on the other hand, has a 5.5" 1080p display, the same camera setup, and a smaller, but still very respectable 3630 mAh juicer that offers up to 48 hours of mixed usage.

The Turbo 2 is obviously the more decked-up version, as it offers a shatterproof ShatterShield display, but it is also the more expensive of the two, as it will retail for $624 without a contract for the 32 GB, and $720 for the 64-gigger, while the Maxx 2 is $384 for a 16 GB option, though it comes with a microSD slot, too.

On installments, the Turbo 2 will run you $26/month and $30/month for the 32 GB/64 GB versions, while the Maxx 2 is just $16 a month. You can trade-in your old phone for the Turbo 2, and receive up to $300 for it, while for the first time Verizon will accept cracked screen trade-offs. Not only that, but with the Turbo 2 you can use the Moto Maker on a Droid for the first time, and configure it to your own liking from the very beginning.

If you happen to be a Verizon customer and are in the market for a brand new Android smartphone, Motorola has just announced two new options that may be worth your while. The Droid Turbo 2 and Droid Maxx 2 are the much-anticipated sequels to Motorola’s most recent Verizon-exclusive devices, with each smartphone bringing something unique to the table.

We’ll be taking a look at the lower-end Droid Maxx 2 very soon, but for now we’re focusing on high-end Turbo 2. With it’s extremely durable build, big Quad HD display and 21MP rear camera, can this new device stand out enough from the crowd? Without any further ado, let’s take a quick look at the new Motorola Droid Turbo 2!

The first Motorola Droid Turbo had a high focus on reliability and durability, something the manufacturer has taken to a whole new level with the newer Droid Turbo 2. This handset offers the same awesome battery life and durable materials, but they have also made the screen shatterproof.

The phone’s screen was as good as new at the end. Moto Shatershield (as Motorola calls it) provides 5 layers of shock absorption. Furthermore, the AMOLED panel happens to be a flexible one, which makes it even more resistant.

Speaking of the screen, this thing is quite the beauty. The Motorola Droid Turbo 2 sports a 5.4-inch QHD (2560×1440) AMOLED display, which just so happens to be slightly bigger than last year’s Droid Turbo by 0.2 inches.

Needless to say the screen looks very good, as we can expect from all high-end AMOLED panels. In habitual fashion, colors are vibrant and blacks are as deep as night. It may not display the most accurate colors, but that is normal with these types of screens. In addition, it seems the screen is not the brightest, but we’ll have to play with it under different lighting situations to see how it really performs.

The Droid Turbo 2 is no under-performer. This bad boy touts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor paired with 3 GB of RAM, making it a bit superior to the Moto X Pure Edition, on paper at least. Motorola also didn’t fail to provide top-notch battery life, including a sizable 3760 mAh battery.

There is a bit of a downside here, though, as this is smaller than the 3900 mAh battery the previous generation Droid Turbo had. Again, we will have to keep testing the phone to pass judgement on this. Motorola does claim the new smartphone should last 48 hours on a full charge, which is not too shabby. And the official turbo charger can have you up and running for 13 hours in just 15 minutes of charge time, anyways. Those who are all about charging technology will also enjoy learning the Droid Turbo 2 does support wireless charging.

Motorola’s fun features didn’t fail to be included here. Users will still enjoy Moto Display, which activates the screen with small movements or gestures. In addition, one can twist a wrist while holding the phone to launch the camera app. Or flick the phone and the flashlight will turn on. Touchless controls are obviously included, as well.

Likely one of the most exciting additions is the ability to customize your handset via Moto Maker. It has been great to see Motorola expanding this feature to pretty much all Motorola devices coming out these days.

There’s plenty of action surrounding the Motorola Droid Turbo 2. A plethora of little sensors make Moto Display run smoothly. In addition, the 5 MP selfie camera sits next to a front-facing flash. A speaker also decorates the handset’s front (it may look like two speakers, but only the grill in the right of the Verizon logo plays sound).

And don’t forget purchasing the 64 GB version will grant you a free design refresh. This means you can switch your colors, accents and materials down the line, if not fully satisfied. This makes that 64 GB Motorola Droid Turbo 2 much more appealing!

For those wondering when the phone will hit store shelves, the release date is set for October 29th. It will launch right next to the Motorola Droid Maxx 2, which we also had some time with, so stay tuned to check that phone out! Are any of you thinking about picking up the Droid Turbo 2? Let us know what you think in the comments.

It is a waste of money if you change your cellphone just for a broken LCD touch screen, however, with this Digitizer Touch Screen + Display LCD Screen for Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD XT925 XT926 we recommend today, this problem can be solved.

The ultra power-saving mode, also called low power mode, is an effective way to extend the battery life of the device. Usually, it involves limiting screen brightness and contrast, disabling location services, restricting connectivity, and turning off nonessential apps.

Motorola Mobile Computing System, including Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor with 2.0 GHz Octa-core CPUs (MSM8994) Adreno 430 @ 600 MHz GPU Natural Language Processor Contextual Computing Processor

Sitting at the top of Motorola"s new Droid lineup, the $299.99 Droid Maxx is more than just a capable device -- it"s also the best smartphone Verizon has ever sold. It boasts the biggest battery available in a handset, and a full 32GB of internal storage, not to mention Google"s impressive list of futuristic Android extras. The Maxx"s build quality is also light-years superior to the thinner Motorola

Aesthetically speaking, the differences between the Motorola Droid Maxx and its svelter sibling, the Droid Ultra, are huge, though you won"t notice them at first. At 5.4 inches tall by 2.8 inches wide, the Maxx is just as tall and as wide as the Ultra, but also a bit thicker (0.34 inch versus 0.22 inch).

Still, you don"t notice the change in girth when the phones are side by side on a table. It"s only when you pick them up that you"ll notice that the Maxx packs some serious, heavy hardware. Tipping the scales at almost 6 ounces (5.9 to be exact), the Droid Maxx has more heft and feels way more substantial than the Ultra (4.8 ounces). In fact, the Maxx is about an ounce heavier than the all-metal HTC One (5.04 ounces) and heavier still than the svelte Samsung Galaxy S4 (4.6 ounces).

Moto gets big points for giving the Maxx a back surface coated in Kevlar fiber -- similar to the previous generation of Droid handsets. I dug that treatment then and I dig it now. Smooth to the touch and possessing a soft matte finish, it repels smudges and streaks while simultaneously protecting against scratches. I certainly prefer it to the Ultra"s glossy and slippery back, which accumulates greasy fingerprints.

The only physical buttons on the Maxx are located on the phone"s right edge, a power key and a thin volume bar. Both are contoured and cross-hatched for easy manipulation by feel alone.

Above the screen is a 2-megapixel front camera and below it sit three capacitive buttons for basic Android control. Around back are the Droid Maxx"s 10-megapixel main camera and LED flash. There"s a big speaker here, too, which pumps out a huge amount of volume. Just as I found out on the Droid Ultra, this speaker serves up bigger audio than the HTC One and its hyped BoomSound technology.

The Droid Maxx boasts the same exact big, bright 5-inch HD OLED screen as the Droid Ultra. Its 720p resolution (1,280x720 pixels) doesn"t pack the same pixel density as the HTC One (4.7-inch, 1080p LCD) or Samsung Galaxy S4 (5-inch, 1080p OLED), its primary competition. That said, the Maxx"s high-contrast display has lusciously saturated colors and impressively dark black levels.

Detail in photos, Web sites, or documents with lots of text wasn"t any less sharp to my eyes on the Maxx than the same content viewed on phones with full 1080p screens. For instance, the Maxx"s 720p display didn"t negatively affect my serious mobile Netflix-streaming habit. The same goes for losing myself in a random HD YouTube movie trailer. Yes, I"m still strangely drawn to that "Riddick" flick since I checked it out on the Droid Ultra.

For internal electronics, Motorola has made a very unconventional move with its 2013 smartphone lineup. Instead of engaging in the brutal processor arms race like practically every other handset maker, the company decided to sidestep the issue completely. All the new Droids, including the Droid Maxx, are powered by a proprietary processing solution Motorola calls the X8 Mobile Computing System.

You"ll find the same collection of cores and specialized processors in the new Motorola flagship, the Moto X. To be blunt, the X8 is a dual-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU and doesn"t have the raw horsepower of true quad-core processors, which drive the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 (Snapdragon 600).

Helping this hardware is a healthy 2GB allotment of RAM. Also, unlike the Droid Ultra, which has only 16GB of internal memory, the Droid Maxx comes with 32GB to play with. That said, there"s no SD card slot for increasing storage.

Thankfully, Motorola didn"t mess with the Droid Maxx"s software that much, a similar tactic to what it did with the Moto X and Droid Ultra. Running the same Android operating system (version 4.2.2) as both devices, the Maxx"s OS is practically stock Jelly Bean. I have a feeling the fact that Google now owns Motorola has something to do with this.

You unlock the Maxx by sliding a padlock icon outside of a virtual ring on the phone"s screen. After that, you"re greeted by the central home screen plus four other panels to populate with app shortcuts and widgets as you see fit.

If you"re familiar with Motorola smartphones of the last few generations, you"ll recognize the Circles settings widget. Sitting at the center of the main home screen, it"s left over from the company"s previous Droid Razr and Atrix handsets. Personally, I"m glad this tool is here, since besides being a quick way to check the time, it also displays weather, and is a shortcut for system settings.

The widget flaunts a few new tricks, too. For instance, swiping the largest clock circle uncovers fresh functions such as Droid Zap and Wireless Display. Droid Zap lets you share images and video with other Android phone users nearby; Wireless Display will duplicate the Ultra"s screen to compatible HDTVs and monitors.

As an Android device, the Maxx comes preloaded with all the major Google apps and services. Of course you can delve into the vast Google Play online store for more to download. Unfortunately, because this is a Verizon-branded Droid device, the carrier couldn"t resist filling the Max with unremovable bloatware. Highlights include NFL Mobile, VZ Navigator, Verizon Mobile Security, and Verizon Tones, to list a few.

Another fruit of Motorola and Google"s union is Active Display, a useful feature that all the new Droid phones have. Also integrated into the Moto X, Active Display serves in place of a separate physical notification light. Essentially, the Droid Maxx"s screen will flash softly with alerts for incoming e-mail, text messages, and calls. Touching and holding your finger on the associated icon in the center of the screen causes the device to display additional information. Pulling the icon upward to the top of the screen wakes up the phone and opens the linked application.

The Droid Maxx also makes use of the X8 computing platform, like the Droid Ultra and Moto X, to perform nifty voice control tricks. Motorola calls the capability Touchless Control, and as its name implies, speaking a magic phrase will cause the Maxx to drop what it"s doing and await your vocal commands. Specifically, saying "OK, Google Now" and following up with phrases like, "Where am I?" or, "Remind me to pick up milk today" will tell the Maxx to leap into action.

Motorola"s X8 platform may not have the sheer horsepower to stand up to full-blown quad-core processors toe-to-toe. It does have plenty of oomph, though, and I observed that on the Droid Maxx firsthand. The phone was very responsive, opening applications without hesitation. Navigating through settings menus and home screen was also silky-smooth.

Lab tests backed up the experience I had with the Droid Maxx, and the phone garnered a respectable Quadrant score of 8,804. Oddly enough this showing wasn"t quite as high as the Droid Ultra achieved on the same test (9,056). And that"s nowhere near as impressive as the numbers turned in by the HTC One (12,194) and Samsung Galaxy S4 (11,381).

I tested the Droid Maxx on Verizon"s CDMA network both in New York City and Harpswell, Maine. Unlike my experience with the Droid Ultra, I found the Maxx delivered very clean call quality. In fact, callers I spoke to couldn"t tell that I was chatting on a cellular connection. On my end, voices sounded rich, warm, and loud through the Maxx"s earpiece.

Additionally, thanks to the phone"s large rear speaker, the Maxx"s speakerphone can reach a high maximum volume. People I rang reported that there wasn"t much difference in quality between speakerphone and standard calls except that my voice sounded slightly more distant over the speakerphone.

To say that I"ve been let down by Motorola smartphone cameras in the past would be an understatement. Indeed, I found that not only did previous generations of Droid Razrs take photos much too slowly, but they lacked key shooting modes found on Samsung and HTC devices.

Fortunately, Motorola, and its Google master, went against history on the Moto X and its new Droid handsets by revamping the imaging system and camera app. As a result, the Droid Maxx"s 10-megapixel sensor is capable of capturing pleasing photos both inside and in the great outdoors. Indoor shots of my studio still life were crisp, had accurate colors, and were exposed well.

Outdoors in daylight, verdant hues of trees and other foliage were lifelike and details were clear. I found the same true of blue skies, white clouds, and ocean waves. Like the Droid Ultra, though, the Maxx didn"t have autofocus as lightning-fast as the HTC One"s or the Galaxy S4"s. Shot-to-shot time using those gadgets is practically instant, whereas the Droid Maxx took about half a second.

Helping to speed up shooting is Motorola"s Quick Capture feature. It fires up the camera app, even when asleep, when you twist the phone twice in your wrist. Honestly it"s one of the most valuable capabilities I"ve seen on a smartphone in a while -- likely because I"m often juggling multiple objects (from sippy cups and toys to other gadgets and coffee mugs).

As with the Moto X and Droid Ultra, the Maxx"s bare-bones camera app is astonishingly simple to operate. Settings are as basic as possible, so there"s no way to select image or video size (the Maxx defaults to the largest available). Swiping from left to right opens a virtual wheel with various settings such as HDR and Panorama modes. Dragging your finger up and down zooms in and out, while sliding from right to left launches the gallery.

The Motorola Droid Maxx can access Verizon"s 4G LTE network for fast data access. My tests in New York were similar to those I ran on the Droid Ultra, with results varying widely by my location. Average overall download speed came in at a respectable 10.5Mbps, while out in quiet sections of Queens, N.Y., the phone sucked down information as swiftly as 17.8Mbps. Upload speeds spanned anywhere from 0.6Mbps to 14.7Mbps; average upload throughput, however, came in at 6Mbps.

Toting a state-of-the-art high-capacity 3,500mAh battery, the Motorola Droid Maxx"s main selling point is its promised longevity. And my initial tests with the handset vouch for the Maxx"s considerable staying power.

The phone was able to push through the CNET Labs Video Playback battery drain benchmark for 15 hours and 50 minutes. While far from the 48 hours of "mixed" use Motorola claims the Maxx is capable of, in this showing it was well ahead of the Droid Razr Maxx HD (14 hours, 53 minutes) and substantially longer than both the HTC One (9 hours, 37 minutes) and Samsung Galaxy S4 (10 hours, 30 minutes: average).

With such a remarkable battery, however, I suppose I shouldn"t be surprised that the Maxx demonstrated some quirky behavior regarding its mobile power source. For instance, my early test model refused to charge when the device was powered down, even though the phone said it was receiving a steady flow of electrons.

Additionally, it wouldn"t charge properly unless I first changed the USB computer connection mode to Camera and then unplugged and reconnected the USB cable. A recent Maxx replacement unit though exhibited no such problems, and in fact worked flawlessly. Motorola explained that some of the preproduction Maxx units used wonky software but shipping models shouldn"t be affected.

Indeed, this latest device consistently demonstrated the same ludicrously long run time, well over 14.5 hours playing HD video. It also charged swiftly, reaching full power from zero charge in under an hour. Another nice extra is the Droid Maxx"s (and all the new Droids for that matter) support for wireless charging via the Qi standard.

When you lay it all out on paper, the Motorola Droid Maxx should crush many smartphone challengers into dust. It flaunts the biggest, baddest battery available on a cellular handset, which results in fabulously long run time. The Maxx"s screen, while not as pixel-dense as its rivals, is big and vibrant. The phone"s speaker gets mighty loud, too, and the device even makes crystal-clear calls.

After spending quality time with the Droid Maxx, especially a Maxx running solid retail software, I can say that the phone lives up to its sizable ambition. I can"t argue that the Maxx"s $299.99 price is anything but luxurious. That said, for all the Droid Maxx can do and for how good it looks getting it done, it earns my seal of approval and our CNET Editors" Choice Award. Of course if the Maxx is too rich for your blood, there"s always the more affordable $199.99

The original Droid Maxx was one of the longest-lasting phones when it came out in 2013. The new Droid Maxx 2 ($384 off contract) outlasts its older brother. With an enlarged battery, a sharp 21-megapixel camera and a water-repellent design, the Maxx 2 is designed to please demanding users at an affordable price. However, its lackluster performance prevents it from being a slam dunk.

Unfortunately, unlike other Moto phones, such as the Turbo 2 and the Moto X Pure, you can"t customize the Maxx 2 via the Moto Maker website for a truly personalized device. That stops you from personalizing the color or pattern of your Maxx 2"s back and body. Just two options — blue and white — are available via the Verizon website, but you can also buy a Motorola Shell (interchangeable back) in one of seven colors.

The Droid Maxx 2 is covered with a water-repellent coating, so you don"t have to worry about getting it a little wet from the rain or the sink, but it isn"t waterproof, so you can"t submerge it in water. It"s not as durable as the Turbo 2, though, which has a shatterproof screen, a clear protective layer and a hard coat on top of that.

Our Maxx 2 had a dark-blue back with a quilted pattern on it. A long round-rectangular strip in the middle of the rear reminded me of LG"s and Asus" volume rocker placement (under the back camera), causing me to get confused when searching for the Maxx"s volume controls.

The Maxx 2"s power and volume buttons are on the right side (when the device is facing you), while a 3.5mm audio jack and microSD card slot sit up top. At the bottom, you"ll find the device"s micro-USB port.

Measuring 5.8 x 2.9 x 0.35-0.43 inches and weighing about 6 ounces, the Droid Maxx 2 is smaller but thicker than the OnePlus 2 (6.2 ounces, 5.9 x 2.9 x 0.39 inches). Both the Nexus 5X (4.8 ounces, 5.8 x 2.9 x 0.31 inches) and the Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 (4.85 ounces 6.01 x 2.95 x 0.29 inches) are considerably lighter.

Reproducing 98.1 percent of the sRGB color spectrum, the Maxx 2"s panel is less colorful than the average smartphone (115 percent), the OnePlus 2 (104.4 percent), the Nexus 5X (106.3 percent) and the Moto X Pure (106.4 percent). It did better than the Idol 3 (94 percent).

The Maxx 2 falls short on accuracy, too, registering a Delta-E error rating of 2.87. While that"s truer than the average smartphone (3.26), the Maxx 2 loses to the OnePlus 2 (2.0), the Idol 3 (2.6) and the Nexus 5X (0.51). It"s about the same as the Moto X Pure (2.8). Numbers closer to 0 are better.The Maxx 2 has one of the brightest screens in its class, notching 608 nits on our light meter.

Loud enough to draw in a colleague from outside a medium-size office, the Maxx 2"s front-mounted speaker pumped out booming but tinny sound. The brassy chorus of Mark Ronson"s "Uptown Funk" clanged unpleasantly, and the vocal "Dohs" in the background could barely be heard above the noise.

Like other Motorola phones, the Maxx 2 comes with Motorola Assist, which detects where you are or what you"re doing, and activates relevant modes to make it a bit easier to use the phone in different situations. For instance, when you"re driving, Assist will read your messages aloud. When you"re sleeping, it will keep the screen off and silence your ringer.

Because it"s a Verizon phone, the Droid Maxx 2 also comes with the carrier"s own Caller ID, Cloud, Mobile Hotspot, My Verizon Mobile and Message+ apps. While the latter lets you use your phone number across your laptop, tablet and computer — which is a welcome feature — the other apps are mostly redundant. Most people could also do without preinstalled games such as Sugar Smash, Panda Pop and Cookie Jam.This phone took a slow 13 minutes and 22 seconds to convert a 1080p video to 480p on our video editing test.

Of the 16GB total storage on the Maxx 2, the Android OS takes up 5GB, while apps hold 3GB straight out of the box. That leaves you with approximately 8GB for photos, videos, music, downloads and additional apps you might want to install.

The Maxx 2"s graphics performance result of 7,902 on 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited also pales in comparison to the competition. The average smartphone (14,886), the OnePlus 2 (21,507), the Nexus 5X (14,599) and the Moto X Pure (19,842) all did better. Only the Idol 3 (6,384) fared poorer than the Maxx 2.

Taking 13 minutes and 22 seconds to convert a 204MB video from 1080p to 480p on our real-world video editing test, the Maxx 2 is much slower than the competition, with the average smartphone taking 7:17. The OnePlus 2 (5:38), Moto X Pure (3:51) and Idol 3 (8:22) all finished faster than the Maxx 2, and within 10 minutes.

Up front, the Maxx 2"s 5-MP camera took selfies sharp enough to depict the subtle weave pattern on my colleague"s shirt. The green wire dangling off his headphones was accurately colored.

Thanks to its massive 3,630-mAh battery, the Droid Maxx 2 is one of the longest-lasting phones you can buy. It clocked in at 10 hours and 16 minutes on our battery test, which involves continuous Web surfing over 4G LTE. That"s longer than the average smartphone (8:12), the OnePlus 2 (8:07), the Moto X Pure (6:27) and the Idol 3 (9:16). Only the Nexus 5X held out for longer (11:30).

When your Maxx 2 does eventually run out of juice, charging it back up will take a matter of minutes, thanks to the phone"s support of quick charging and its included TurboPower 15 charger. The TurboPower charger got the Maxx 2 from just 6 percent to 19 percent in about 10 minutes, then to 57 percent in about a total of 45 minutes.

Long-lasting, splash-proof and modestly priced, the Droid Maxx 2 has nearly all the ingredients of a winning smartphone. Its capable cameras and helpful software also impress, but slow performance and a lot of bloatware hold this handset back.

For around the same price, you could get the Nexus 5X, which provides not only faster performance but even more endurance and the latest Android Marshmallow OS. The Nexus 5X also has a convenient fingerprint sensor and solid cameras. However, Verizon customers who want a phone that can get a little wet and go the distance should consider the Droid Maxx 2.Today"s best Motorola Droid Maxx 2 deals
