I had a Bionic -> Razr -> Razr Maxx
The Maxx is definitely the better of the three.
The Bionic is a good phone, but is now read ended and people are even seeing warranty replacements being offered to them as Razr or Razr Maxx.
Forget the Bionic..

I went with the MAXX and so far so good.
I have owned both phones. I would still have my bionic but I jumped into a pool with it.
I actually got paid $40 to get that phone it's a funny story actually.
But I now own the Razr Maxx and it owns hands down. Battery life is x5 of what my bionic was.
I had to turn off data when not in use (I good practice but I don't have to on the Razr) and I never ran it on 4g because it would just instantly drain the battery. I had eclipse rom on it and it still drained like crazy.
Razr Maxx > Bionic
Razr is superior in every way.
Shouldn't be to hard of a choice.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. However while the razr is no longer in the top tier of phones, it's still a very solid device. Build quality is excellent, great hardware, and will be getting more software updates(jellybean). Yes the up dates may take a while but at least we know they are coming. Besides only about 20% of all android OS's are using ICS. Compare that to the 1.2% running jellybean. Unless you are one of those people that have to spend top dollar on the latest and greatest only to have it be obsolete in a month, the razr series phones are fantastic devices.

Thats weird, I was expecting 5-6 times more Razr than Maxx owners

Just root and install a custom rom to get as much or better battery life than a stock Maxx.

Same here I own a Razr. Maybe once we get more people voting the Razr will beat the Maxx by a larger %.
I have a Razr and am quite happy with it... But will convert it to Maxx as soon as the parts are available.
This is more like what I would expect given how much longer the Razr has been out over the Maxx. Oh I should have added one of the new color Razr's as a choice... oh well too late.
Maxx for the win The battery life soars light years ahead of my third battery in my Incredible.
btw-They are backordered right now at Corporate stores, I got the last one from a local retail store. Apparently Motorola hasn't peaked production yet...hmmm, didn't they make a high demand for the X when it came out also?

It's actually both the RAZR and the RAZR MAXX. They run identical software. The only real difference is the bigger battery, slight change in the color of the housing and the Motorola plate on the front top is changed. The XT912 is the "Droid" version for VZW and the XT910 is the GSM version used world wide. Although there is no MAXX for the XT910.

Razr Maxx here. Tons of battery life with 4G on all day!
I am probably going to get the RAZR, because the Maxx is $100 more just for battery. I'll just go pick up a USB battery pack for $40 and then I get a thinner phone, too. Also, the white looks pretty sharp. Haha, get it (Its not very funny)?
Any RAZR owners know of the best ICS rom?
Razr owner. I really don't have issues with the battery. I am usually busy at work so my battery lasts about 18 a day. Them on the weekends, I am usually close to a power outlet.

Best to get the MAXX. The extra battery life is worth it. I had the RAZR and carried around an extra potable battery charger. Once the MAXX was announced I returned the RAZR. Bought the MAXX on launch day, best decision I made. I get about 18+ hours on a single charge. Best RAZR did was 8-9 hours.

I am not going to talk crap about that phone but if crack flashing isn't what you care after but a better overall phone is I would pay the stocking fee and move into the maxx if you can. If not the RAZR is still a good phone. I am using the ics 84 leak and can tell you that it is 100% great owning my maxx. Only option I wish I had was a 0 shutter camera but the maxx camera is very fast and once focused almost 0 shutter. It will do
The plain Razr is fine if you're OK with charging it a lot... personally, I wouldn't change unless it was to the Razr Maxx.
I've owned both RAZR and Maxx and the RAZR still has very good battery life In general. You just gotta hope for a RAZR with no mechanical factory defects...( I've had 2 different phones returned). Also when I said a RAZR with no defects that also went for the Maxx as well. I've had one RAZR and one Maxx with defects

I went from a rez to my maxx. The rez was very nice and very nice camera and screen...but w the extended battery it got heavy feeling. Uncomfortably heavy. Hard to see in the sun. Not hating on the rezound as it is a great device...but my maxx w ics 4.0.4 is exactly what I wanted. 6+ hours screen on time. No hesitation or stuttering. Runs perfect. Autosync always on. Always run data. Auto brightness on. No tricks. Just use it
Was lucky enough to find someone wanting to straight trade my GNex for this DRM... had it for a week and haven't looked back!
Right now, my batt is at 50... been discharging for 18 hours... 4 hours with the screen on at 50% brightness and 1 hour of calls.
Was so happy with mine that I went out and got my wife a white DR (she isn't the power user I am).
Anyways, just saying howdy.

I've been hanging on to my upgrade for a while and I think its time to use it. The two phones I'm trying to decide between is the razr maxx and the new razr m.

Just remember if you currently have unlimited data and you upgrade, you will lose unlimited. That being said I went from the Inc 2 to the Bionic to the Razr Maxx. I would recommend the Maxx.
If you're thinking about getting the RAZR Maxx, just wait and get the Maxx HD....it's better!! Bigger screen, HD display and Super Amoled HD, plus better processor 1.5 ghz dual core snapdragon S4. My Maxx lags!! ICS is great on it but it's NOT smooth. I wish it had that 1.5 S4 processor.
Even the RAZR HD is a good choice, probably will be cheaper like the skinny RAZR is to the Maxx. The RAZR HD has a decent battery. Why debate between the RAZR M vs. Maxx?
If I were you I would decide between the RAZR HD or Maxx HD. You will save money on the RAZR M and I understand we all like saving money lol. But I feel with the battery in my Maxx it was worth the extra 100 bucks over the skinny RAZR.

Size is one of the main reasons. Don't want a large bulky feeling phone. The razr m has a 1.5 snapdragon too and I don't wanna wait til November. So its either the razr m or the maxx...

My RAZR Maxx has a 1.2 dual core TI O-Map processor not a 1.5 Snapdragon S4. So they're different. If you're talking about the RAZR HD or Maxx HD then those run the same processor the RAZR M does.
They said the Maxx HD is the same size as the original Maxx, the screen is bigger, not the phone.

The M looks like a great buy as well. If it had the maxx battery I would like one. My maxx is just on the edge of being cumbersome.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
just ordered the M right now on my biz acct only came to $129.99 for a 1year contract so leaves me open in a year if i need something more. consumer accounts are getting dicked these days...have to do 2 year plus looked at the GFs and they only offered it for $99 plus $30 activation fee... and shes been on a htc dinc1 for almost 3 years.
coming from the htc dinc2 as well, this phone is slightly smaller in overall dimension. the one thing i will miss is swapping batteries; had 2 extra plus el cheapo batt charger from onld htc dinc1.
im looking for smaller size primarily. been thinking about an s3 for a while, but wanted to wait out for the next nexus successor and get closer to pure android but after mucking up my dinc2 in water last week and using an old droidx all week i need to go back to ICS (had dinc2 on CM10 actually). dont need a gigantic phone so opted for the less expensive route. plus the s3 and M have same CPU and almost same batt size.
hoping moto goes the path of pure android soon...
Wonder if Verizon is going to get the HTC one x +... if so it changes everything lol

I'd go for the RAZR M. Much more compact, same screen and much more power than current MAXX. Nice when gaming. Most likely it will also receive new versions offcially for a longer period. Compared the standard RAZR it's got a 12 % bigger battery as well as more power efficient CPU, so should do fine though the day, even though it's no maxx
If gaming isn't your thing, go for MAXX. I certainly wouldn't call it bulky
If you can wait for a few more months and pay som more $, then the RAZR HD (MAXX) will definetly be the king. Even the non-MAXX version of RAZR HD should have a fairly impressive battery life.
Got the raze m Yesterday and I must say that for so $99 with contract you just can't beat it. Little disappointed I bought razr Maxx then moto releases 3-4 killer phones soon after. ...it is what it is. Anyway razr m is a little on the small side which i like and its solid. The phone is a great size, it fits so naturally in your hand. The benchmark results from quadrant was nothing shy of 4467! I think that's impressive compared To my Maxx Which is upper 2700s. Does that extra .3ghz make that huge of a difference? This dual core rocking the snap dragon 1.5ghz is right up there with the HTC one x
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
I think it's more of the Snapdragon S4 processor being better than TI-OMap. I don't care for benchmarks, it's about real world usage.
RAZR M is cool. I would upgraded to the Maxx HD though. You not getting much change from a Maxx to RAZR M in my opinion. Better processor and more recent software stuff but what else? Not trying to hate, just saying the HD RAZR's would of been a better upgrade for me.

What phones are you referring to? Because the only new Motorola phone released after the RAZR MAXX was the Droid 4. There might have been a new color released for the Droid RAZR, but no new phones.

The RAZR MAXX came out towards the end of Jan. The Droid 4 was in Feb. The RAZR M just came out in the 2nd week of Sept. That's a lot of time between phones for Motorola. I count 3 new phones coming out, the RAZR M and the RAZR HD and MAXX HD. The RAZR/MAXX HD phones most likely aren't coming until sometime around Thanksgiving. That would be a year after the 1st Droid RAZR was released.

The OP has a Razr Maxx, not the skinny Razr, so it's not even a year yet. A year is 12 months in the U.S.
Shows how much quality they put into each of their phones. It's clear they care more about putting out the most phones they can rather than focusing on quality such as their average 8MP camera work just to name something. For me it's about quality, not quantity. The Razr M is cool for a lower end release (save some people money). The Razr Maxx HD would of been enough of a successor from the Razr/Razr Maxx. What is the point for them to release the Razr HD? And I don't even care for the Razr i.
Well for me I would get the regular Razr Hd, I like my phone to be thin and its the same specs as the Maxx so why not? When i bought my razr the maxx was already out and i chose the regular razr because it was so damn thin i love it.
The only thing that really pisses me off about the new phones is that they are all thicker than the originals. I agree the maxx has an awesome battery but too me its not worth the thickness, even if it is slight.
