Smartphone battery life, as we all know, is royally rubbish. You’re probably sitting there at your desk, pretending to work, while your smartphone of choice is stealing electricity from your employer.
We’ve all done it. Gone are the days of stealing paper-clips, pens and printer paper. Now we all plug our phones in and nick a few volts of electric instead. 🙂
Motorola have announced that the RAZR Maxx is headed to Europe and, better still, it’ll have a lumbering great 3300mAh battery for oodles and oodles of juice. Your employer will be happy and you’ll be happy. Boom, job done.
The RAZR Maxx has the same 4.3″ screen as the US version and runs Android 2.3 but will get Ice Cream Sandwich in Q2.

BASINGSTOKE, UK – Apr. 03, 2012 – All day, every day – that’s how much you use your smartphone. With its impossibly thin and lightweight design, Motorola RAZR ™ MAXX boasts features with the wow factor and a battery that can handle even the most demanding lifestyle. Customers across Europe and the Middle East will be able to start talking, texting, typing, watching and more for even longer from May 2012.

It’s made strong with KEVLAR ® fibre, while Corning ® Gorilla ® Glass defends the hyper-vibrant 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Advanced display from scratches and scrapes. And every part of the Motorola RAZR MAXX is protected by a splashguard coating, which even extends to the electrical boards inside, ensuring a go anywhere, do everything attitude.
Smart Actions, the remarkably intelligent application exclusive to Motorola Mobility, pushes the limits even further by automating everyday tasks based on triggers like time of day, location, battery levels and more. Never forget to put your phone on silent in meetings, turn up the volume when your boss calls and even maximize your last ounce of power by dimming the display and turning off power hungry services.
Motorola RAZR MAXX also comes preloaded with the Motorola MotoCast ™ app², giving you the power to stream or download content from a home or work computer straight to the device so your docs, pics and music are always available – anytime, anywhere.
