Product Review: The Motorola Droid Maxx2

As the new owner of my first Motorola smartphone let's take a brief look at some of the features, benefits and potential pitfalls. If you are an Android smartphone user rest assured that much - not all - of the functionality found in Samsung, LG and related devices is the same. Settings: Quite similar, although you may need to 'hunt' for the setting of your choice. Screen: Comparable to the Samsung Galaxy 6 - good size with good resolution. Power On-Off Options: Oddly I cannot find a "Restart" feature only a "Power Off" option ... somewhat disappointing. Speakerphone: Good volume and sound quality. Ringtones: A very good selection to choose from, however, some may suggest that the quality of these tones is rather rudimentary. Battery life and charging: It is too soon for me to make a conclusion on battery 'life', however, I can definitely say that the power charging capability - either from your standard wall jack or from your vehicle power adapter is much faster than my aging Samsung Galaxy phone. Look and Fell: Nothing dramatic here other than to say the external 'texture' of the phone assures a better grip reducing the possibility of dropping and damaging the device. Sof is the Droid Maxx2 a viable competitor to the Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy series? I suggest not. However, if you need a well-built, dependable smartphone at an affordable price the Maxx2 may be the right choice for you.
