Motorola Droid MAXX 2 Full Specs, Pricing & Release Date Details

[dgstorm]

With all of the hullabaloo surrounding the hot new Droid Turbo 2, we can't forget that Verizon also announced the Droid MAXX 2, too.

It's not as powerfully built as the hot new Droid Turbo 2, and in fact, it surprisingly has a smaller battery than the Droid Turbo 2, but it seems like it is meant to fill the mid-range market segment. Just as predicted, this device is basically a rebranded version of the Moto X Play.

Here's a breakdown of specs:

• 5.5-inch 1080p display
• Snapdragon 615 processor
• 2GB of RAM
• 21MP camera
• 3630 mAh battery - 48 hour battery life - 8 hours of charge in 15 minutes.
• A microSD card slot
• Android Lollipop 5.1 (with Marshmallow eventually to follow - probably)

This device will NOT be available on Moto Maker, but you can do some minor customization with removable back covers. Verizon is pricing this device at $16/month, and it will also be available Thursday (Oct. 29th).

The same smartphone trade-in info applies to the Droid MAXX 2 as it does for the Droid Turbo 2.

Ahh, so the Droid 2 is also launching with Lollipop. Why Motorola?

Because Verizon

 

[Jonny Kansas]

Because Verizon

You really think so...?

 

[Mustang02]

You really think so...?

Of course. They need their "team" to test it and make sure marshmallow will work. Why else would a brand new "flagship" not have the latest?

How long until they get mm, a month, 6 months, a year?

Moto said in a round about way that vzw was the hold up for the turbo getting lollipop.. And definitely for it not having working voLTE at release...

Moto needs vzw , to stay afloat..sadly..so moto let's vzw do whatever.. If I were moto..I'd develop some really catchy devices and bypass vzw..they need to do something to get a bigger market share....
