The '''Droid Razr HD''' and '''Droid Razr Maxx HD''' are Android-based, 4G LTE-capable smartphones designed by Motorola as the successor to the Droid Razr series released nearly a year prior. Notable changes from their predecessors include 720p resolution displays and increased display size while maintaining similar overall dimensions. Additionally, the battery capacity on the standard Razr HD is 42% larger than its predecessor. Both go by the model number XT926. These phones were released on October 18, 2012 exclusively on Verizon Wireless in the United States. The '''Motorola Razr HD''' (non-Droid branded variants, model number XT925) were available as international or global phones in Europe, Latin America, Australia and Canada as early as October 2, 2012.<ref>{{cite web |title = Motorola OnDisplay: Razr HD, Razr M Australian Launch |url = http://ausdroid.net/2012/10/02/motorola-ondisplay-razr-hd-razr-m-australian-launch/ |publisher = ausdroid |date = 2 October 2012 |access-date = 20 December 2012 |archive-date = 21 January 2013 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130121195710/http://ausdroid.net/2012/10/02/motorola-ondisplay-razr-hd-razr-m-australian-launch/ |url-status = dead }}</ref> In the summer of 2013, storyboards surfaced of television commercials that have not yet aired.

== Features == Motorola Mobility has chosen to differentiate the Droid series from other Android devices primarily by focusing on a superior battery capacity both for the standard and Maxx variants. An often compared competitor, the Samsung Galaxy SIII, has a 2100 mAh battery compared to the standard 2530 mAh Razr HD and the 3300 mAh Razr Maxx HD.<ref>{{cite web | title = DROID RAZR HD and RAZR MAXX HD Review | date = 22 October 2012 | url = http://www.droid-life.com/2012/10/22/droid-razr-hd-and-razr-maxx-hd-review/ | publisher = Droid Life | access-date = 20 December 2012 }}</ref> Motorola claims that this equates to 20% on the Razr HD and 50% longer battery life on the Razr HD Maxx. Other critical reviews have noted the durability and rugged feel when describing the DuPont Kevlar backing.<ref>{{cite web |title = Motorola Droid Razr HD review: How phones should be built |date = 27 October 2012 |url = http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9232719/Motorola_Droid_Razr_HD_review_How_phones_should_be_built |publisher = Computerworld |access-date = 20 December 2012 |archive-date = 2 January 2013 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130102221018/http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9232719/Motorola_Droid_Razr_HD_review_How_phones_should_be_built |url-status = dead }}</ref> Additional durability is touted with a Corning Gorilla Glass display claiming to minimize scratches and an internal water-repellent nano-coating to resist liquids from affecting components.
Additionally, the Razr HD has a 4.7 inch 1,280×720 resolution Super AMOLED display with a 312 pixels per inch pixel density.<ref name="Mashable first">{{cite news | author = Peter Pachal | title = Motorola Unveils Razr HD | url = http://mashable.com/2012/09/05/motorola-razr-hd/ | publisher = Mashable | date = 5 September 2012 | access-date = 6 September 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title = Motorola Droid RAZR HD full specs | url = https://www.theverge.com/products/droid-razr-hd/6084 | publisher = The Verge | access-date = 30 September 2012 }}</ref> The phone has an 8-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera and a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 ("Krait") processor with LTE and NFC.

==Droid Razr Maxx HD== At the same time of launch, Motorola released a Maxx variant of the standard Droid Razr HD featuring a higher battery capacity and larger internal storage capacity. The Razr Maxx HD is equipped with a 3300 mAh Li-ion battery, a 30% increase in capacity over the 2530 mAh battery in the standard Razr HD. Due to the battery's larger physical size, the Razr Maxx HD's overall thickness increases by 0.9 mm over the standard variant at a total thickness of 9.3 mm. Additionally, the Droid Razr Maxx HD is only available with 32 GB internal storage, double the internal storage of the standard Razr HD's 16 GB.
The Droid Razr Maxx HD is only available with a black colored bezel for the display assembly.
To promote the Droid Razr Maxx HD, a Limited Edition was made available to Verizon employees only. The Limited Edition has a few cosmetic differences; these consist of a red colored power button, red and black colored weave for the backing with the words "LIMITED EDITION" printed on it, and an individually numbered rear camera window.<ref name="Droid Life News">{{cite web | author = Kellen | date = 19 November 2012 | title = Here is the Special Edition Red DROID RAZR MAXX HD for Verizon Employees | url = https://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/19/here-is-the-special-edition-red-droid-razr-maxx-hd-for-verizon-employees/ | website = droid-life.com | publisher = Droid Life | access-date = 9 July 2019 | quote =...Verizon would be carrying a set of special edition employee-only versions... }}</ref> In comparison, the consumer version has a gray colored power button that matches volume rocker color, gray and black colored weave for the backing, and no serial number on the rear camera window.
