Motorola bets users $100 it can upgrade their 2011 Android device to Jelly Bean

Motorola Jelly Bean $100 Rebate

During its press event in New York City earlier today, Motorola promised to upgrade “most” of its 2011 device portfolio to Android 4.1. But Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside also said that the company will offer a $100 credit to any users whose devices don’t get upgraded that they can use to buy a new DROID RAZR HD, DROID RAZR MAXX HD or DROID RAZR M smartphone. Woodside said that some of Motorola’s older devices actually ran slower on Jelly Bean, and that it didn’t want to degrade user experience for the sake of installing Jelly Bean. Motorola on Wednesday also announced the availability of developer devices for those who wish to root and modify their Android smartphone. The DROID RAZR M Developer Edition can be preordered now for $549.99.

Motorola rumored to launch RAZR HD and HD MAXX in October

DROID RAZR HD Maxx Release Date

Not only is Motorola preparing to launch a high-definition version of its RAZR smartphone, but according to a recent rumor the company is also believed to be readying a MAXX version of the upcoming device. According to a “very reliable source,” Hot Hardware reports that Motorola will launch both the rumored RAZR HD and a RAZR HD MAXX in October, very soon after Apple (AAPL) releases its next-generation iPhone. The website notes that Motorola will only announce the two device after it has sold through its current-generation RAZR and RAZR Maxx handsets, however. The RAZR HD, previously known as the DROID Fighter, is expected to be equipped with a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz, 4G LTE, and the same 1280 x 720-pixel display that is found on the ATRIX HD.

Motorola’s ‘big reveal’ coming this Friday, could be DROID RAZR HD [updated]

Motorola Droid RAZR HD Release Date

Motorola is teasing fans with its Facebook page all week by offering them daily clues on what smartphone the company plans to unveil on Friday, August 10th. The first clue was ridiculously vague, as Motorola said that the smartphone will “have the power of 4G LTE,” which is pretty standard for all non-iPhone devices at this point. 9to5Google speculates that the new device will be the long-rumored DROID RAZR HD that will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and include a massive 2,530 mAh battery.

UPDATE: CNET Editor Chloe Albanesius spoke with a Motorola spokesperson, who confirmed that the company has no plans to announce a new phone this week. The company is just “engaging with Facebook fans about its current lineup,” Albanesius said. More →

High-definition version of Motorola’s RAZR in the works

By on April 16, 2012 at 7:00 PM.

High-definition version of Motorola’s RAZR in the works

The name DROID RAZR HD has appeared in the EXIF data from a series of images uploaded to Picasa by a Motorola employee. The EXIF data shows that the handset is running Android 4.0.3 and its camera is equipped with a f/2.4 aperture camera. The photos in question were uploaded by Vic Yu, who is a software engineer and program manager at Motorola Mobility according to his Google+ and LinkedIn profiles. Last month, the first image of what was believed to be the unannounced DROID Fighter surfaced on a Chinese forum. The handset is said to be equipped with the same massive 3,300 mAh battery that is found in the RAZR MAXX and a 4.6-inch high-definition display. The phone also lacked the Android navigation buttons found on earlier RAZR models, suggesting that it makes use of the on-screen buttons found in Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The DROID RAZR HD could possibly arrive on Verizon Wireless as the DROID Fighter, although nothing is confirmed for the time being. It should be noted that EXIF data can easily be manipulated, but an image of the data can be found after the break. More →
