One of the best things Verizon wireless ever did was acquiring the rights to use the word “Droid” to differentiate its phones powered by the Android operating system from those available from other carriers. Not every Android-powered phone offered by Verizon has carried the Droid moniker. Some of us think this is because the Droid name implies higher-end devices. In the case of the Droid Maxx 2, that’s absolutely the case, and from what we’ve seen, it’s worthy of the name.When asked about the naming of the Droid Maxx 2, Rick Osterloh, Motorola’s CEO ...

It used to be that Verizon’s “Maxx” variant has always been the top of the line Droid, with the added bonus of a battery that could barely fit in the chassis, and we’ve praised Motorola and Verizon for achieving this over the last few years. In today’s Verizon event, Motorola announced the new Droid Maxx 2, but the approach to this device is actually a different one.
