  • Good phone

  • I also have moto maxx but i face a heating up problem in my phone. Is Anyone has the same problem in moto maxx or moto tubro

  • I have Moto Maxx xt1250 and data is turned on and it will not connect is there a reset or something ...Took it in and they said they could wipe it but didn't know if that would work

  • when no command then press power button and volume up and release quickly

  • Yes.

  • Is Moto maxx support OTG

  • good day all, pls how can one hard reset moto maxx 4G?. have tried the key combinatios, but after selecting recovery mode, next I see is android logo with exclamation mark saying NO COMMAND. pls what should I do at this point?. thank u.

  • maybe there is an issue with usb port. I had the same issue with turbo charging and I finally replaced that port, and problem solved!

  • Moto turbo 2 is best 1

  • yes of course there are benefits when upgrading to Marshmallow. Better battery life performance improvement and we can select different wifi from notification panel itself and there are many more. PS: new is always better *Barney Stinson :)

  • Is Assassin creed identity available for moto max ?

  • I own this phone unfortunately I broke the screen :( Powerful it is and has Android 5.1 when arrived. Always try to see if 6 was available but I guess only for some markets so got message that device is up to date.

  • i own a moto maxx xt 225 with android 4,4( kit kat) it is working very nice and i love it . would be of any benefit upgrading it? if so how can i upgrade it to 6.01 marsmallow thank you rickrive

  • Hy guys m shani from pakistan. . Plz tell me about which is best moto x 2nd generation nd moto turbo droid max. . . Tynx lv u all . . :)

  • Hi, I received Android Security Update Today, It was May 2016 Security Update which was installed in My Mobile and now the Update which I received is September 2016 Update. After 9 Months Motorola has sent Security Update. Does anyone has received Android Security Update in India. Thanks

  • i tried :/ still the same , please how can i update my device to MARSHMALLOW ?

  • Try updating moto update app in play store first

  • Its really hard to believe that Motorola is not doing justice to it's own high-end devices. Motorola Moto Maxx is launched at 42.5 K In India but totally forgetton by Moto with in a month. It was so forgotten that even devices launched @ 1/3 of its price got the VOLTE support in India but this device is still awaiting for the same from past 6 months..there is no roadmap for the same nor for further upgrades. Still, there is no revert from Moto at all ..no wonder, people in India totally lost faith in Moto and Lenovo and moving towards Mi and oneplus brands as they know both of them will do justice to their devices and release periodical updates...Shame on Motorola...

  • how can i update my device if when i click on check for update Appears " our device's software is up to date "

  • Yes

  • Does anyone have Marshmallow ?

  • Yes, Airtel 4G works perfectly on Moto Turbo 64GB. I am using this mobile since long time and its just perfect. Loved it

  • Hello guys My moto maxx cant charging fast :( Always show charging slow, Adaptor and cable are original and i tested with Aukey turbo charger also, My phone was update to marshmallow Before marshmallow i had this problem, Anyone can help me to fix this?

  • To the guy having second thoughts. I wouldn't get the G4+ over the maxx or turbo. The g line is not marketed or made to quality that the maxx or turbo is. It has more cores but your phone only utilizes so many any way and it's a slow octa core which even cheaper phones heve. Snapdragon 805 is my personal favorite to date and I think it's the best. Less complications and more efficient.

  • Hi Guys, Does anyone has any idea, how to check 4G on Moto Turbo XT1225 if 4g is working or no? I'm using Airtel 4G SIM but I can't see 4G Sign on it. Speed is also same as 3G. Thanks.

  • Extremely sorry for my late response Brother! My model of Motorola Moto Maxx is XT1225.. You have to wait for OTA updaten for Marshmallow until it is available by Motorola for XT1250 version. Thanks..

  • keep moto turbo. it is exceptional mobile one of its kind. moto g4 is nowhere compare to turbo build quality and display. g4 having its advantage also but moto turbo is a steal for 12600

  • Hi guys. I have ordered moto turbo( moto maxx ) from flipkart for rs.12600 (around $190) on sale. I am having second thoughts of buying moto g4 plus. I'm terribly confused now. Please tell whether i should go for moto turbo or cancel the order and buy g4 plus. p.s.- I don't care about getting any further updates and am okay with Android marshmallow.

  • Nougat 7.0 will arrive at October 2017

  • Won't receive Android 7..

  • Is this phone expected to receive the Android Nougat 7.0 update? If yes, then when?

  • It has 3 IR sensors

  • Hi, what is the difference if you use Volte enable Mobile like Samsung Note 4 and Moto Turbo, as you mentioned we need to use Jio App for calls. Flipkart has mentioned it doesn't support Volte. Thanks

  • 4G is working, JIO also working, but for calls have to use JIO4GVOICE app.

  • In my phone also it has 3 only

  • It's a deal at the price of 14k Yes the display is little warm. But it helps your eyes not to get strain early. It will be known when you are looking at white background or else it's just normal only. I received it just now from Flipkart and I'm downloading an update which is 965 mb. Hope it's 6.0 only. Cheers for the ones who got it in deal. But REMEMBER one thing,4g in India will not work on this variant. Indian 4g band is missing.....

  • Hi, does anyone knows how many ir sensors are there on the Display? as I can see only 3 red tiny LED's (1 on Top Right and 1 each left and right bottom) but some people says it has 4 sensors on each corner. Thanks,

  • hi guys , could someone tell me when i will get the marshmallow ? i have 5.0.2 and my device is Moto MAXX ( XT1250)

  • Hi Sam, as you are using this device, could you please tell me if capacitive buttons are backlit, I checked some videos and everyone said Display is yellowish (warm) side. Thanks,

  • it is a great deal at that price .

  • I think this is one of the best deal offered during these sales. Pros: Display, Good camera, commendable performance, good battery life and solid built quality. Cons: Single Sim, No Volte as of now (But that is not a big deal currently)

  • Guys is it a good Deal to buy Moto Turbo @ 13999/- INR (194.5 US$ Aprrox.) under Flipkart Big Billion Offer. it does not support Volte. Awaiting for your reply, Thanls

  • download psiphon then try it !

  • hey , what is your mobile model ?

  • got 6.1.1 today vio OTA

  • I live in Saudi Arabia.. Cant get the system update.. Is there any ways to solve it out??

  • I wanted the Moto Maxx receive the update to Android 6.0.1 would be fair !!!!!!

  • I wanted the Moto Maxx receive the update to Android 7.0.1 would be great.

  • D did .. The Same thing :/ any advice ? Note : my moto maxx is usa version ( xt1250 )

  • use wifi if u r on Mobile data

  • hello guys , i have moto maxx xt1250 .. when i will get the 6.0.1 ?? everyone received the update except me ! what i have to do ? when i click on update (OTA) .. i get this message "your devices' software is tp to date" !!

  • Hi Rupak , what is your mobile model ? i have moto maxx xt1250 and i still have lollipop software .. no update available OTA on my device can u help me? how could i update to marshmallow ? thank you

  • I have received Marshmallow update OTA on 13.07.2016 & installed it successfully on my Motorola Moto Maxx. The file size was 9oo+MB; after downloading the file, it took 15 minutes to install successfully. Running very smoothly & battery backup increased significantly. It's better Late than Never. Extremely satisfied with the update. Thanks..

  • I stay in India. I think battery life is slight better in 6.0.1

  • vic, which part of the world are you from and how good is battery after marshmallow

  • Marshmallow has made the phone more smooth. new useful features. Good work moto.

  • Atleast I received marshmallow update 6.0.1 today.

  • Shifted to this phone from moto x2. That phone was already running marshmallow. The phone was really smooth. Expected same from maxx. But dissappointing the phone not getting update. Rest excellent phone.

  • *sigh* we are all waiting for it.... Motorola was supposed to be good with their updates!!

  • Hey guys , i have Moto Maxx xt1250 32gb , when will i get Marshmallow ? Thank you

  • Exelent piece of equipment I had one for a wile without any problems, But I just found out that can not buy a brand new moto maxx direct from Motorola Mexico because production has been discontinued. O well I guess I have to get me a Moto X Force

  • This phone is terrific. I can easily say it is the best from its generation and the next one. Phones with snapdragon 808/810 didnt offer anything new but a higher price. Performance wise you cant tell the difference between a 805 and a 810 (heck, to the final user anything from 800 and above is the same). The battery is terrific, GPS signal also great and Motorola's touch to android actually improves it. Buy this shit if you can. BTW, Marshmallow already out.

  • Specs are incomplete. This phone has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17. Motorola later admitted LTE band 5 when the XT1225 was released in India. Also, there's a U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250, which has the exact same specs, exact same FCC ID as the Droid Turbo XT1254. There are two Quark phones, two FCC IDs with three model names: * XT1225 Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo * XT1254 Droid Turbo/XT1250 Moto Maxx

  • i dont understand either, very worried 6.0 will just be be scrapped. however will hang on a little longer seeing as have already waiting months for it. love this phone. has everything and more. only missing finger print reader and yet there has been no other advances really to the phone world. dont like the new versions to fat and oversized. fingers crossed its updated. keep following the news on this but seems always a load of b s.

  • i dont understand why moto maxx (xt1225) is not getting 6.0 update??

  • I have a few questions: 1. Is it still worth my money? 2. Where do I buy it in Europe (Germany)? 3. Does LTE work on European bands? 4. On which Android version does it run currently? And I guess the KitKat capacitive keys don't look that good on Android L or M...

  • go camera- then you have options for back and front just press it its kinda like icon shows for the fron cam

  • can anyone tel me how is the front camera works?

  • Droid Turbo (XT1224) and Moto Maxx (XT1225) support different Bands. Turbo has CDMA and Verizon Bands, Maxx international/GSM UMTS Bands: Also it seems, that you can't unlock the bootloader or root a Droid Turbo. See ­

  • Both are same, Turbo also have a 32 gb version... with a little less price...

  • no but turbo is rebranding for verizon

  • Can anyone tell me how Moto Maxx differ from Droid Turbo? Because both phones have same specs but Droid turbo have more fans and people tend to buy Turbo. Is Droid Turbo better than Moto Maxx? Please help.

  • i don't know whay motorola does not upgrade moto maxx xt1250 from kitkat.(xt1250 is moto maxx us edition)

  • I came from Lg g3 which I have been using for last one and half years. This is a truly grateful phone. The design is cool that stand apart from Samsung stereotypes. The screen is good. The camera is also good but only problem is compared to other phones its a bit laggy. From the lock screen we can see upto 4 notifications by waving hand our hand over the screen without touching it. That is a very cool feature that I found very practical in every day use. Overall I am impressed

  • I am only getting 4 hours of screen on time and 24-28hr run time. Is this normal?

  • really good phone, got this for 240$ 64GB(new open box). Reviewers say that the camera is weak, but its actually good, I compared it with s6 edge .

  • friends anyone knows if the cell operates in Ecuador? the operator, Claro?

  • got this thing and so far so good, The camera is a bit weak because of the moto IR sensors, it eat's the battery a lot and the 2k panel also eats a lot of battery juice. The only downside is the software, LATE UPDATE, still on 5.0.1 lollipop. Build quality is actually good, the design looks great IMO, but the glass design of samsung phones are really sexy compared to this.

  • 4g in india is very fragmented, bands and technologies differ from place to place. 4g works in gurgaon (airtel) however not 100% of all other places

  • overall hardware is excellent... camera is good / great. battery life is phenomenal. Sadly the only drawback is the lack of updates. motorola has given greater priority to some other phones from 2015 however the updates (android L) are still 'under development'

  • What's the difference between the XT1250 and the XT1225? Just carrier? US vs Int'l bands? Thanks in advance, anyone.

  • How is the panorama camera mode? Is it good as iphone 6 or lg g3 or g4? I need this for my work. It is very important. Currently using Lg G4. Everything is good except the battery life, and it is too big for me.

  • Hows the camera of this phone?is it good or not in low light?

  • No Idea Bro!! even I'm waiting for the 2014 moto turbo india Marshmallow update

  • anybody has idea when the marshmallow update coming out?

  • When be avalaible and supported in Europe? It's i think one of the best of motorola's phones, beacouse of: -4 microphones with noise cancellation with using Moto Voice (touhless control), Crystal Talk changes your phone into communicative ROBOT. -customisable google now launch phrase (instead of saying stupid "ok google now") -turbo and quick wireless charging, car wireless charging - forget usb port breaks -many brands of LTE -great battery, monster CPU with langauge processor, -clean Android without lags -the best display on the market -solid body as an alternative for Galaxy's shit and only one disadvantage: no SD card slot.

  • Probably because youre running on a network which the phone isn't compatible with. The moto maxx only has certain lte bands unlocked. Unlike your s4 which is more of a global phone with fully unlocked lte bands.

  • plz i need ur advice plz the motorola max have 35GB what i know is the 64GB that comes with 3GB ram plz any help i want to buy this phone

  • what about the update...? is there any update coming for moto turbo india...??

  • plz i want u guys to help me with this i want to buy the moto max does its have 35g becos i know about the 64g plz help me

  • Does this support 4G in india

  • No issues so far regarding heating since 3 months ago

  • could someone tell me if it has heating problem as the Moto X 2?

  • I have one, I totaly agree with you.

  • How good is it, especially battery?

  • True. It is a monster. I was reading reviews of bad camera, but its awesome. Camera quality is good.

  • This mobile work it in Saudi Arabia with 4G? Please, any one is have it this amazing device geve as feedback Thanks

  • Isn't this the same as the Droid Turbo?

  • Please, read model! XT1225 is not Motorola's RAZR MAXX (XT925). This phone has more ppi than LG G4, SGS5, iPhone 6, and most other flagship phones. 21MP camera! I recently got a nee one for my self, and my brother got an LG G4 at the same time. Since we are techs, we made some benchmarks and Moto XT1225 got 5,000 points more than LG G4. Had Motorola since Milestone. I dont change since I see them inside and almost never I get motorolas at the 20+ stores I give service with my tech company. Judge by urself!

  • old but nice phone

  • in east Africa there are Motorola phone nowadays like in the last decade.I want the turbo

  • The link for Motorola Droid Turbo review could be here too, couldn't it?

  • I live in Saudi Arabia, I bought it through Amazon

  • how much is it in us? im planning to buy it in new york next month

  • Its already there bro ! 90Hrs :P the phone's insane though have been using it for 3 months and never regretted gettin this

  • 21 MP. more like it

  • To Gsmarena...can we see a battery endurance test of this beast?

  • if camera Secondary was 5 MP, 1080p.and to have memory card,it was best

  • very good

  • i wonder if i could buy this phone in Saudi Arabia... I really love motorola.

  • ir blaster is used for a lot of things like tv remote,send and receive files etc. years ago when was no bluetooth wi-fi the infrared blaster was the only way to send and receive files great top phone makers like siemens erickson build their handsets whith this ir blaster and copy paste option

  • Front camera should be 5 mp.. and also an option should be on phone that. when we copy the phone numbers from phone tou sim... curssor again go to 1. select option need for copy.like as 251 to 500..

  • It's exactly what it tells if you see all the reviews out there, flawlessly, i got it cause i am sick of expensive useless gimmicks, i wanted a phone that just works and last me for the day and this phone does it perfectly.

  • Another variant is available with similar specs for verizon...and the name is DROID TURBO.

  • I have Motorola Droid ultra mini.before this I used xt912 wwich called Droid razar. I have same problem that signals.

  • Card slot? 64gb is more than enough. This is android lollipop phone which have google drive cloud storage. You can get at least 50gb free storage from google drive.

  • 64gb isn't enough for you!!!

  • I'm replying to you from the Moto Maxx Itself, and I have had it for 4 months, it doesn't heat unless you play intense games while charging, I recommend this phone unless you love gimmicks like TV remote and fingerprint scanners because you won't find that here, this is very close to a nexus device, but packing monster specs.

  • card slot plzzz!!

  • I wonder when it come to Msia or Singapore. i can't wait for this monster :D

  • Just amazing!!! The best smartphone ever. Thanks Motorola!!!

  • exellent

  • How many languages this phone has ?

  • motorola has crystal talk technology that other brands dont have. now research whats crystal talk tech by motorola

  • i'm using moto maxx about 3 months and its really good in all aspects but the signal, after i had samsung galaxy s4 and where i got 4g signal i can't with moto maxx...

  • I am planning to buy this mobile and would like to know about the call quality and the voice quality ?

  • Dont forget Samsung prices...

  • Ebay, but be careful customs may charge you. Greetings from France

  • How to buy it in Italy, please?

  • sooo coool i now no

  • Does this phone have video calling option on the dialer and where can one buy this phone? Pls reply.

  • If you've planned for this mobile , you should surely go for it. everything is works smoothly , no heating case at all, don't believe on false rumours. and will be a gud deal and value for money

  • guys i have planned to buy this mobile but i got a news that this mobile heats up in normal condition and to larger extent in charging please give ur opinion ( those who have used it)

  • No Actually that is referred to the infrared sensors that is used to respond for your hand gestures. When you wave your hand over the phone it will glow up the screen to show you the missed notifications

  • my moto turbo (moto maxx renamed in india) hits up while charging and also the display while use of more than twenty minutes is it common or only in my divice pls give ur opinions and suggestions.

  • guys i have a question here, for the infrared sensors what happens when my phone is in pocket?? will the screen keeps onn always?? that will obviousy reduce the battery backup, and cannot even use a flipcover, cause that will also make sceen always onn. This didnt got the logic here.

  • Does this phone have an IR blaster..? I can see the spec listing as "infrared port -Yes" . Does this refer to IR blaster ..?

  • I think my dream phone is a: 5.5" nexus 6 with Moto apps compatibility & 3900 mAh battery, that I love both Nexus 6 & Motorola Droid Turbo (Moto Maxx) ^_^

  • Please I request release a 2nd gen of this phone with 4gb ram Nvidia x1 processor clocked at 2.7Ghz.....with nvidia titan x GPU for mob ..with an improved moto display and camera sensor with manual focus and an cover which will protect the lenses (just like the lumia 1020)increase the battery to 4000mah and at last set stereo speakers not in mono keep it dual just like Moto X,Nexus 6,with boomsound..,.I say this will then become unstoppable to beat this phone in any of the fields .accept it..

  • yes

  • Does Moto Maxx have active notifications like Moto X ?

  • Is there an option to get on- screen keys in this phone? Stock android feels kind of incomplete without it :/

  • xt1225 moto maxx

  • "1440 x 2560 pixels on the 5.2 inches display :-))) For what? No memory card slot? No radio? Non-removable battery? Why? And what is Splash resistant? What the hell is this IP protection class? Not Motorola, I do not!" ur saying qhd screen for wat? haha....qhd screen for 565 ppi dear...and why do u even care about radio...who listens to it anyways....even if anyone wants to listen, then can use 3g or 4g for any online radio...who would insert the headphone each tym one wants to listen to radio (if at all anyone wants to listen radio), why do u want memory card slot? 64 gb is enough...non-removable battery-i think ur out of ur minds for it...this is THE BEST phone in the market right now...i will surely buy it.

  • Does this phone go by other names/model number?

  • 1440 x 2560 pixels on the 5.2 inches display :-))) For what? No memory card slot? No radio? Non-removable battery? Why? And what is Splash resistant? What the hell is this IP protection class? Not Motorola, I do not!

  • This is great phone without a doubt. Motorola is always underrated, imagine if this was Samsung's.. Anyway I use droid Maxx now and it is heavy.. I can imagine holding this one, 9 more grams lol.

  • Nexus 6 - Moto Maxx 5.98 inch 5.2 inch 13MP front camera 21 MP front camera 3220 mah 3900 mah Since Moto Maxx is smaller and has bigger battery, it lasts much more than nexus 6

  • The best smartphone in terms of quality-price. It just worth every penny, its resistant, durable, powerful and has native Android, i just love this phone and all this high end piece of art for 592 USD, as i say it worth hundred times more than a shitty iPhone or a bothering interface Android onee.

  • So how does it differ than nexus 6? I do not see much difference, except for size it is nexus 6 packed with a smaller case.

  • What are you talking about? Stock android does support micro SD support just that if you use 64 GB (or higher) microSD cards � Android does not support the exFAT file system. Because the standard FAT32 file system does NOT support partitions greater than 32 GB by default, 64 GB cards come pre-formatted as exFAT

  • Pretty sure Moto E and G have (almost) stock Android, like Moto X and Maxx, and yet, support MicroSD.

  • I understand that this phone is not planned to be released in europe yet, but if I buy one from the US and bring it back will it work in the EU?

  • The battery life is fantastic. 3900 is pretty big so it should be no surprise

  • Because stock android does not support MicroSD card, and motorola would not alter stock android to make it MicroSD card supported.

  • eagerly waiting.....

  • prices will be way higher then you think bro.

  • Nice

  • There is no FM Radio...

  • It's coming to india very soon on flipkart

  • NO. It does not support CDMA.

  • nice

  • I just wanted to know if this phone can be connected to verizon thank u

  • Is this for Brazil only?

  • more is more weight megapixel megabytes.¿ internal memory is only 64 gb.?

  • ؟؟؟ If anyone know this phone when it was released in Asia Please answer and Thank you so much. ؟؟؟ Between this model and the Nexus 6 confusing

  • perfect

  • If you dont need, speak for yourself.

  • Maybe you can import it from Brazil.

  • I don't think smartphones are overpriced in Brazil anymore. Droid Turbo 64GB costs US$ 649 at amazon. Moto Maxx in Brazil is today R$ 1.799. If you consider credit card taxes (IOF = 6,38%) and credit card conversion rate (today mine is showing R$ 2,82 = US$ 1), Droid Turbo is costing aproximately R$ 2.000. The only smartphone which still has abusive prices in Brazil is the iPhone sold in the Apple Store.

  • never, sorry.

  • When we can get it in India

  • This phone was created before Google sell motorola to Lenovo so its NOT LENOVO this is the last motorola child ( unfortunatly) that`s why is almost the same like Nexus 5/6 on software.If you wanna buy Moto Maxx in USA you`ll find DROID TURBO (the USA version of Moto Maxx made only for Verizon-or its oposite)

  • Will The Moto Maxx work on Verizon in the USA?

  • Can any one tell, why motorola is always with NO Card slot?

  • Lenovo.

  • Who owns Motorola now?Lenovo or Google? They could have come out of these crap deals and started anew from scratch.

  • Yes you could buy it. There are a few units sold on eBay. With Moto Maxx there'll be no verizon bloatwares as in the Droid Turbo. But be prepared to pay a bit more for the sirim sticker once it gets stuck at the customs office.

  • He said "in Mexico". Philippines is not the only country with a currency called peso.

  • There's best phone. Powerful 2.7ghz CPU and snapdragon 805 inside. it's enough for daily activities. I think the back design is had bit different tone from frontside design its just awesome

  • How come u said 8k pesos or 550 usd? When u convert 550usd to pesos it aroung 24k are u certain did research really about this, are u from philippines?

  • no you can't buy it

  • I am from malaysia. can I buy it?? It says verizon wireless exclusive do in the us can buy and on it? Does the Motorola Droid Turbo similar to Motorola Moto Maxx??

  • Yes, it have to. Just buy a nano sim and you are done ;) Any questions, @Zlexor on twitter. Cheers.

  • 4 - 5 hours at max brightness, gps max accurate, 4G, multi task (at least 6 apps running), music player, Bluetooth, hotspot, plus primal app for the test: INGRESS (consumes a lot of resources) A Galaxy S4 only 1.3 hours. A moto G 1st and 2nd Gen me 2 hours. XperiaZ the same, 1.3 hours. Galaxy Note 2, 3, 2.5 hours (plus the size). Z1 2.5 hours (same, almost imposible to handle with just one single hand) For gaming, Office, and everything else, believe me, it's a beast. Video player (2k, FHD), 8 hours. I bought 2 units of this phone, just 'cause I'd like having the same phone as my backup phone. Any questions: @Zlexor on twitter bro. Cheers ;)

  • I have a Moto Maxx (bought in Brasil). It doesn't have infrared for universal remote control.

  • very good

  • No one needs dual sim get a 2nd phone

  • Is it possible to buy this phone somewhere internationally?

  • very impressive specs indeed. how does it fare in battery life? does anyone have firsthand experience with it?

  • I want this one by far, compared with iPhone6 or Samsung Note4. One fault only: why not DUAL SIM?

  • Good Guy Motorola: Doesn´t overprice their high end stuff for 2nd & 3rd world countries. *sigh* Samdump

  • This thing is being sold in Mexico, for the specs, the price is pretty decent (8,000 pesos or 550 USD) costs almost the same as getting an US Droid Turbo and WAY cheaper than getting a Note 4 or G3 here (Those things are over 12,000 pesos, madly overpriced) maybe getting this in the near future!

  • hi Amanda, i ll come to canada in march of 2015 and i hope the moto maxx will be brought till that time :)

  • would it work on any gsm carrier in US?

  • I know it's never coming to Canada, but I'm excited for this phone to become more widely available so I can at least buy it. It's almost identical to the Droid Turbo EXCEPT that this phone is made to run on gsm networks. I've had the Droid mini for a few months, and its a great little phone, but the difference between unlocked to gsm and being a gsm phone can be huge, depending on your network.

  • seem it so suitable to be my gadget,but is it available in indonesia?..

  • Is it available in Hong Kong?

  • In Mexico in the black Friday Mexican, about 550 US Dollars in normal price 620.00 USD

  • Obviously, in this days almost every thing in electronic is made in China

  • I don't know if the USB its 2.0 but transfer data from my moto maxx to external hard drive its quiker than my exnote 2 or my exgalaxy s4

  • I have the moto maxx and the screen is AMOLED and its very good, the batery in heavy use last me for all day long and thats all what i was looking for my next phone, QHD screen, batery for at least one complete day and hi end materials after galaxy s2, galaxy s3, galaxy s4, galaxy note 2 just plastic and tired of touchwis. The back of the phone is ballistic nylon looks and tocuh awesome.from México

  • The Droid Turbo and the Moto Maxx are different phones, check them out...

  • There is no memory card slot on recent models of motorola. Why? Is they think 64GB enough.

  • After being so expensive, Y not have OIS i.e. Optical Image Stabilizations

  • It has a 3900mah battery. What did you expect it to weigh?

  • i think it is called a Nexus 6!

  • Had this been 6 - 6.5" with a card slot, would have been quite a brilliant gadget, 5.2" is way too small.

  • USB 2.0, really?

  • is it made in china?

  • Will it be available in Singapore?

  • anyone know if you have av output via mhl?

  • My 2013 Moto X is OTG compatible so Moto Maxx will have it. Slimport is still to new a technology.

  • Does moto maxx have OTG and SLIMPORT features?

  • I am a great fan of Motorola. I am very curios to get a moto maxx for me. Please say me when i can get in Saudi Arabia

  • I am a great FAN of Motorola. I am very curios to get a moto maxx for me. PLZ PLZ say me when i can get in INDIA.

  • Actually the price in Brazil varies from 777 to 816 U$. 1 dollar is about 2.57 reais. And remember that prices in Brazilian cellphones are always overpriced when compared to other countries (even Paraguay and Argentina has better prices).

  • Its funcional im Portugal

  • You may have to wait for long long time. Till Motorola come up with new version for Asia. Price in Brazil US 890 can Moto sell in Asia ?;with no after sell service ?

  • Good looking phone but way too heavy for my taste - 176 grams versus the LG G3 at only 149 grams.

  • Hello there! I just want to know if this phone is available in Asia in the middle east in Lebanon if someone could help me?

  • Moto maxx

  • thats a great phone, solid, reliable fast great camera...amazing phone i must say better than galaxy S5

  • The Moto MAXX is the same Droid Turbo (in Brazil)

  • I f any one really want the phone read the link below.

  • End of Nov or early Dec this phone will release in Mexic. Hope Amazon will sell this phone after That.

  • I think it is better to go with nexus 6 instead of moto maxx

  • You can buy this phone only in Brazil i guess...

  • This phone is available in Brazil.

  • From where you purchased this phone ?????

  • No this phone is not available in India

  • This device not available in india.so how did u buy this device,i'm already want to buy this device gave my answer,i'm waitting

  • I'm fairly certain it won't be coming to MY... :\

  • I am from argentina i have this phone and is great the best smarptphone in the world !

  • I really love this phone!! SAR value please...

  • Totally agree with you. I hate it when they launch it in some countries but not others

  • What is the SAR value of this phone?

  • Great ! I was longing for the tremendous battery capacity the former Maxx had .

  • Sod it then if not coming to UK..Sick of all these different version of the same bloody phone, just release one phone and change the aerials to suite country.

  • It will cost nothing. Moto maxx will not sell in Asia.

  • True

  • hello i wanna know how much does it cost.it support cambodia sim or not

  • Just can't wait for it- going to grab it first thing it launches in MY

  • The only thing supporting that the Moto Maxx won't come to Europe is the Tweet that MR-France posted, since it has been removed without explanation I can't yet see that an europe launch is out of the picture, if you guys have another than the tweet. Please go ahead and link it here :)

  • Sadly this is true.

  • If you look now the Motorola_France tweet on the 7 Nov saying no Maxx in Europe has been removed...

  • I know they're not selling it in europe but will it still work? this version is being sold in Brazil and operates 4g frequencies such as 18.ghz which is what some carrier provide in the UK. Can I use all the functions of this phone in europe or will there be something that wont work?

  • Motorola does not. Want to make money. They just makes the phone . That is why they were sold out twice

  • Motorola does not. Want to make money. They just makes the phone . That is why there sold out twice

  • Motorola have made a statment today that the moto maxx will not be available in the uk and europe. Only for the south american market. It's quite sad...

  • Motorola have made the decision to not release the moto maxx for europe. The official news from motorola posted on the net 2 hours ago. Such a shame... Moto maxx only for the south american market. I was looking forward to see the device in the uk. I believe lenovo are responsible for making the wrong decision not to see the device in europe and asia.

  • yes is one of the best smartphones but is not the first , the best is samsung galaxy note 4 thanks have a nice day

  • it's available here in Brazil for about US $860.

  • How are we going to have "Menu" key because it has capacitive touch key? For Moto X, you can install "Menu" key via Xposed\Gravity Box.

  • It was released in Brazil on Nov 5. Will release in Mexico by end of Nov. No one knows where is next country wil receive this phone. Just wait till year end. May be more news from Moto

  • I bought Moto X Dev Edition from US and need to buy again from U.S if it does not come to SG. :(

  • where exactly is this phone, any idea when it will be released? the spec section for this phone on gsmarena shows that the phone is already released. On their website I can't find anything. Any updates on this matter?

  • Motrol moto maxx phone is a best

  • Usually fm radio does not come with motorola phones. Try downloading radio apps from play store instead of.

  • Will this phone be available in Asia particularly in the Philippines? Hope this comes to my country, I'll surely grab it!

  • Ugly design, bulky to look.

  • Sad but moto maxx will not come to europe

  • Does anyone know if this phone is available in the UK ???

  • By reading some comments Here the name moto maxx goes fr da battery 3900mah n not da display!!! Lol

  • The Droid Turbo

  • is universal remote control through ir blaster and usb otg support available ???

  • Any cdma version of this mobile??

  • where is the FM radio, we get tornados/hurricanes in india w/o warnings/

  • Any dual SIM version? ??

  • Why Motorola left out navigation bar for cap. Keys?

  • People asking why 2k display? How else did u want to play the 2k videos it can record? And the others u can download. It's not a waste, it's a very good move

  • Maxx isn't related to screen size but to is large battery and endurance like is elder bros Razr Maxx and Razr HD Maxx

  • I dont undersatand why the capacitive buttons? That should be a problem with Lollipop, right? Tendency is to have no buttons...

  • mini computer :)

  • No it is not band 8. It is band 3. It sounds available.

  • Hello guys, I have a very important question if you can answer: I have decided to buy this phone once it is available, but do you happen to know if LTE Band 1800 is available? I can see it on the specs list here, however on motorola.com.br it is not specified (Band 8, meaning)

  • Gsm arena please post review of the phone

  • About qHD screen on 5.2" ...!!! Its TechWar thing... That's all!!! A friend said: root and force it on 1080p to have more battry life...!!!

  • MAXXimum battery !!

  • Agreed bro

  • Anyone know if this will be available in the UK ???

  • That is made by Motorola. This is why it is so good and simple the best.

  • Will this work on T-mobile and AT&T in the US? Seems to have the bands...can someone confirm or state what bands are missing.

  • Nope, you shouldn't be comparing it to a phone, its too huge

  • Maxx goes for the battery.

  • A bit laughable to call this phone Maxx when it is only 5.2 inches. Sounds more like wannabe Maxx. I was hoping it would be similar in size to the Nexus 6.

  • All I was saying is that the ppi is too much, don't need a QHD resolution on a 5.2" device and to be honest QHD would have been better with next year's s810 chip to avoid any lag. Yes I admit the specs are good but they are wasted on such a small screen, should have been around 5.5" to 6" screen, would have been a better all round device.

  • It's actually a phablet not a tablet, but at the end of the day it takes calls, it's actually has excellent call quality, and also the ability to send text messages so it is like any other mobile device. There is nothing wrong with comparing two devices of different sizes, it's not a tablet, it's style and design is based on a phone not a tablet so you should be able to compare a 5.2" device with a 6.4" device.

  • Oh my god that's a master piece for sure but the price is so high for now 870$ ?!! everything is amazing 64gb memory, 3gb ddr3 ram, latest SoC chipset and other great specs but it's expensive for now

  • Agreed. It would be perfect had it had an SD slot and 1080p display. Bigger battery isn't an upgrade it is to keep battery life the same despite the QHD screen. If I bought this phone I would root it and force the ppi to 1080p.

  • wow, can't wait to have this as my next phone...

  • The best phone ever

  • Hi guyz I donno why u compare sony z ultra to moto maxx...☺ I think you should compare it to its relatives.. Like: LG G3 / Galaxy S5 / Nexus 6 / Sony Z3 and... So lets see the moto maxx hilights: 1_ qHD screen with 565ppi (if not better than others...not lower) 2_ Complete network supports from 2G,3G,4G band 17 ( usefull in every countries) 3_ 3GB Ram / how many app normally guyz run in background? Its enough for long time use!! 4_ Bluetooth 4 / 5 dual band wifi support/ fair enough and up to date 5_ Camera : most update features (4K capturing) 6_ Latest Android version (and google own moto and benefits of fastest updates) 7_ CPU: the most update one: Krait 450 on 2.7ghz Quad core/ what you wanna Proccess ?? 8_ GPU: Adreno series4 : 420! Nothing to say! 9_ Battery ? Oh my shit... 3900 mAh .. lithium polymer with damn fast charging tech ..60% in 30 min ... Tanky one ... Hwo u going to Drain it ?? 10_ Simple and smooth eye design like always motorola designs... So What u need more than this ?? Have fun with it!!!

  • it´s a Beast,I can not believe such a powerful phone

  • 6.4 inchs is not even a phone. Your not even comparing a phone to a phone, it's actually phone to a tablet. I feel bad for you that you thought it was a phone. If i were you, i wouldnt be interested in the z ultra anymore because you were interested in it as a phone, but now that you know that it is a tablet, you gotta think differently about it and compare it to a tablet not phone. Im sorry to tell you, but your z ultra isnt meant to be compared with a phone because its not one. Go compare it to a 7 inch 8 inch or 10 inch tablet because thats where it belongs

  • Stop being such a annoying fanboy. Who is smarter? The one launching in time for Christmas season, or the one after (too late) or long before (dated)? I have the Z Ultra and it's successor has still not showed and will probably not make it until Christmas. For Christmas shopper the Moto MAXX is new, and better in just about every way than the current Sony flagship Z3. However both, but mostly Moto, lacks proper marketing and Moto's main goal should now be to use Lenovo's channels for a global launch.

  • Incredible !!!

  • Mis you moto, come to Singapore again, most likely moto launch low end and outdated phones in Singapore.

  • no

  • that phone is shit z ultra

  • Please enlighten me, sir. Moto Maxx is superior to Z Ultra in nearly every way. You're just another Motorola hater. Peace out!

  • I don't think anyone's getting jealous especially considering I have one of the most gorgeous phones around, that's of course the 6.4" beauty called Sony Z Ultra, this moto maxx doesn't have a prayer against my beast of a phone, jealous ?!?!?!?! I doubt it very much.

  • This is my next phone....great specs & that massive 3900 mA battery...hope Lenova will make motorola available for rest of the world.I bet this phone will be a huge success if they launch it all over the world.Motorola comming in the bussiness again...be very scared samsung,lg,sony,htc....

  • haters getting jealous of motorola becz they r launching superb handsets from the start of 2014!!!!

  • Sony are sennsible waiting till next year when the s810 chip gets released and they'll pobably release a 5.5" device in the shape of the Z4 but Motorola are being so stupid with this 5.2" device. It will surely fail.

  • What a useless device, what's the point of having a 5.2" screen with QHD resolution, there's no point.

  • Dont bay this phone because no sd card slot and fm radio in 21century! Motorola alvays something forget

  • Why MOTOROLA is purposely avoiding INDIAN market. Moto is having such a wolf pack of handsets that they can surely grab INDIAN market with ease. Hope after LENOVO acquisition of moto we can some moto handset launching in INDIA than rest of world

  • really just battery and camera .! i mean those are two most important key features of many .! i wish they made this model or some equivalent model with expansion slot .!

  • Also in a much more palatable size.

  • Does anyone know what LTE bands this will be operating on?

  • Official site

  • this phone is way better then a Nexus 6, by its size and camera and battery and screen too, SAmoled over Amoled, also this phone will be thiner then Nexus 6 (way to sick, 10mm -_-)

  • ekhm, only i see that its the same specification as DROID Turbo???

  • HDMI output? Slimport?

  • Keep in mind that electronics in Brazil are more expensive than anywhere around the world.

  • Was launched today in Brazil, slightly cheaper than the Xperia Z3 R$1997, wich is approximatelly U$800.

  • very best .great specs with durable materials. i will trust motorolas battery display durability materials .i have moto x for at&t still rockin ....drop it 4 times .no issues. thats the phone.

  • I want this phone in the Europa.

  • just battery and câmera better than the Nexus 6. Does it pay off? Or is more of the same?

  • Please Motorola bring this beauty to Europe. !

  • Quad HD for a 5 inch phone ? Overkill and ridiculous. I would rather prefer a Full HD with a superior battery life. Common guys enough fooling around with specs.

  • just a bit... not even considerable difference. but yeah in thickness department there is diff of almost 3mm. But in specifications it beats s5 very easily. Stock android Vs laggy touch wiz of samsung updates which are readily available for motorola. 565 ppi Vs 434 ppi of s5. s5 has been beaten in almost every aspect.

  • Bring it to Europe!

  • There's no 32gb variant for Moto Maxx. Is only 64gb. Fix this.

  • Waiting for launch� motorola doing great job

  • Nice device! Is it bigger than samsung galaxy s5??

  • Quad HD for 5-6 inch screen is an overkill and ridiculous. I would rather want FHD with superior battery life. Everything else seems good with Maxx.

  • First comment on such a perfect device... This phone has potential of setting new parameters for all flagship devices out there in market... Very nice work done by the company. And now most of the people out there are waiting to see the price tag for this device. It will give a real tough competition to most costly devices. This phone is going to spread smiles.
