Photos online are a great way to find out about upcoming phones. For instance, We found out that the Motorola Dinara (xt928) was capable of taking 13MP photos. Another one has popped up which just might be the US version of the Motorola MT917, which features a 4.5-inch 720p (1280 x 720) Super AMOLED display. In the above image you will notice the EXIF data for a photo, which has DROID RAZRMAX as the model. This will obviously be the follow up to the DROID RAZR. One has to assume that the display will be a big difference, but the other speculation is that it will actually be a little thicker which is a result of a bigger battery for better battery life. We all know that the one negative for 4G LTE phones is the battery life, and Motorola has made strides with the DROID RAZR, but is looking for further improvement.
Another piece of evidence, if you will, is the person who posted the above image recalls that a Verizon employee told him that a thicker version of the DROID RAZR would be coming out in the future. If a Verizon employee told me that, I wouldn't have thought much of it, but now seeing this EXIF data only verifies that the DROID RAZRMAX is indeed in existence.
It all makes sense now because Motorola did market the RAZRMAXX (without DROID) as a flip phone on Verizon in 2006, about 2 years after the original RAZR was introduced. Of course it had the extra “X” in it, so we will have to wait and see how this ends up when its actually released.
I fully expect this one to be shown at CES next month, but it hopefully won't be a long drawn out ordeal like the DROID Bionic. It looks like all manufacturers will have phones with 720p displays by late this year or early next year. This is exciting times. I am wondering if this time next year, we will be looking at 1080p displays?
