The brand new Droid Maxx colorways.
In comparison to high-end smartphones currently on the market, the Droid Maxx seems slightly outdated. It doesn’t have the latest hardware, nor software, but it appears that Motorola isn’t ready to let the handset die out just yet. Earlier today, the manufacturer teamed up with Verizon to release two new color options of the Maxx.
America’s fourth largest carrier has just announced a super cheap Simple Starter plan for consumers not looking to spend a lot in monthly rentals. Starting at $40, users get unlimited voice minutes, texts and 500MB of 4G LTE data.
As promised, Verizon has begun pushing out the much-anticipated Android 4.4.2 over-the-air (OTA) updated to all carrier-branded models of the HTC One Max currently located in the United States. In terms of added functionality, the upgrade brings the latest build of KitKat and Sense 5.5, in addition to the usual bug fixes, speed optimizations and stability improvements that we’ve grown to expect from any major software update.
With the release of the HTC One (M7) and other One branded handsets, HTC focused on quickly getting out software updates to them. The company was among the first in the United States to update their flagship handset to KitKat on all the major carriers.
Continuing that trend, HTC’s executive director of product management today announced that the Android 4.4.2 update for the One Max on Verizon has received technical approval and will start rolling out from Monday.
Verizon Wireless has finally confirmed its pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S5 and begun taking pre-orders, just one week ahead of the handset’s launch. In line with other U.S. carriers, Big Red is charging $199.99 for the new flagship — after a $50 mail-in rebate — when you take out a two-year contract.
