PROS

  • The DROID Maxx 2 is equipped with a battery to outlast them all.
  • The water-resistant housing feels good in your hand.
  • The camera may not be the best on the market, but it gets the job done.

CONS

  • Performance can feel sluggish at times, with apps taking too long to load.
  • Its budget-friendly price tag may be appealing, but its availability is limited to Verizon Wireless customers.
  • Bloatware--excessive apps you can't uninstall--is rampant on the Maxx 2.
The DROID Maxx 2 boasts 48 hours of usage thanks in part to its 3,630 milliamp-hour battery. Powered by a Snapdragon 615 processor, it's not going to be the fastest device available, but it is fast enough to get the job done. The phone comes with 2GB of memory and 16GB of storage, which is expandable with a microSD. The Maxx 2 is the latest in a long line of Verizon Wireless exclusives from Motorola.
