Droid Razr Maxx HD waiting lounge.

I am not sure if its disappointing or not but it appears that its battery will have 2530 mAh battery instead of the rumored 3300 mAh!

what do you guys think, isn't it kindda disappointing?

If the phone does not have the maxx battery it will be a disappointment. But this is what happens when people wait for a phone and think that the rumors are fact. I still think that this phone will be the Atrix HD with a bigger battery. Which sucks because I was planning on this to be my 2nd devise that I carry around but I guess I will stick with the razor maxx for now

Well if this is true... looks like I'll be waiting for Christmas and seeing what's being released... :banghead:

DROID RAZR MAXXIMIZED!!!! are we vanquished yet?????

Are they having problems making the 3300 mah battery. It does not make since to use a smaller battery. Especially when they are going to be selling it through a carrier that has a phone with the larger battery.

Is the smaller battery confirmed or just a rumor similar to all the other rumors?

Who is still buying the the HD and who is going to wait to see if Motorola comes out with one with a bigger battery

I'm against the ropes... I'm thinking that the HD might be more efficient with the s4 chip...i might take it for a test drive and see... we'll see

That is a little disappointing but if you have a Razr Maxx don't think this is a step back. Keep in mind two huge advantages the Razr HD will have. One, the Snapdragon S4 processor is made with a 28nm die process compared to 45nm for the OMAP on the Maxx. That means the CPU will use less power. Also, the S4 uses an ARM Cortex A-15 like design, called Krait, that is faster and, because of that, more efficient, than the ARM Cortex A-9 design of the OMAP in the Maxx. Two, the Snapdragon S4 has an integrated LTE radio chipset that saves a lot of power over all earlier LTE chipsets, like the one in the Maxx. For those reasons, I would be willing to bet that in most circumstances the Razr HD with the 2530mAH battery will have at least as good and possibly better battery life than the Razr Maxx.

A huge wild card as far as the battery life goes when compared to the Razr Maxx is the display. I think the three things that take the most power in a smartphone are the CPU, the 3G and 4G radio's, and the display. The HD wins easily with the Radio's (at least 4G) and the CPU. I'm just not sure how the display (sounds like a very nice LCD but I don't know) will compare to the SAMOLED Advanced in the Razr Maxx. It's always seemed to me that OLED based display's use more power the LCD but it depends on how much black you display and using PenTile helps battery life too. We'll have to see!

While I don't know how much of a difference each improvement makes it sounds like the HTC One X with a relatively small 1800mAH battery can usually make it through the day for most people and those with a Samsung Galaxy SIII and a 2100mAH are more than happy with their battery life. Both have the same Snapdragon S4 processor and LTE chipset as the Razr HD will. I'm just glad the Razr HD will still have a large battery.

Now, does anyone know if it will have 2GB of RAM?!?!??!

So far, I think the Razr HD is still for me. I like the battery (though better is always better), the MicroHDMI, moto radio's, and the build materials.
