Strength. Stamina. Sophistication. Those are just some of the qualities of the new Moto Maxx -- our most powerful and long-lasting smartphone to date.


Our smartphones are our lifeline to the world in many ways, and with Moto Maxx you can go multiple days* without having to recharge. And when you do, our new Turbo charging feature gives you up to eight additional hours in just 15 minutes!**

With a huge battery, the time you save staying unplugged allows you to do more with your device -- from watching videos to playing games to capturing photos and viewing them on the Quad HD display. Combined with the most powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon processor you can get, Moto Maxx gives you the confidence to live life to the max day in and day out.

Here’s what else you can count on with Moto Maxx:

Long lasting, fast charging
With Moto Maxx, you can go up to two days* without limits thanks to the long-lasting, fast-charging 3900 mAh battery — the largest battery of any smartphone. When it’s time to charge, get a quick burst of battery life when you need it most. The Motorola Turbo Charger included in box provides up to eight hours of power in just 15 quick minutes of charging.**

Accelerated performance
Moto Maxx is designed to outperform your expectations with the newest and most powerful features. Use the 21-megapixel camera to capture stunning pictures and movie-quality 4K video, and play it back on the 5.2-inch Quad HD display, the sharpest display of any smartphone with 565 ppi. The newest and most powerful Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ quad core processor gives you all the performance you need — and then some. It also uses the latest 4G LTE technology, so you can experience faster download and upload speeds. Plus, you get a huge 64GB of storage, perfect for your collections of music, movies, books and games.

Enduring protection
On the outside, Moto Maxx is designed with premium ballistic nylon, a first for the industry. It’s a high-quality, durable material with a distinctive texture and rich color - you might recognize it from outdoor gear, like backpacks. Under that, is a layer of DuPont Kevlar® fiber, a material that is five times stronger than steel. Moto Maxx is protected inside and out with water-repellent nano-coating and then topped with Corning Gorilla Glass.

Pure Android experience
You’ll get a pure Android experience, which means fast upgrades. Moto Maxx also incorporates the same Moto software experiences that are available on the new Moto X. So you can interact with your Moto Maxx more naturally, using the same voice commands, and your Moto Maxx will learn your preferences and adapt to you, making it even easier to use.

Pricing and Availability
Moto Maxx will be available on motorola.com starting today in Brazil and coming mid-November in Mexico. Moto Maxx will come to additional Latin American countries soon.

Halloween is all about expressing your personal style - whether it’s witty, wild or wacky, anything goes. When it comes to this time of year, no one does it better than the Queen of Halloween - Heidi Klum. Each year she dazzles fans with costumes that push the envelope on creativity and design. They are part art, part high fashion, and always a full expression of Heidi’s bold, personal style. And this year was no exception. At her annual Halloween extravaganza in New York, Heidi stepped out in a beautiful butterfly costume. To complete her look, Motorola created a special customized Moto X inspired by her costume.



Don’t feel like waiting for October 31st to roll around again to express your style?  Head over to Moto Maker and design your own custom Moto X and show your colors all year long. Need some inspiration? Here are some of the best costumes from the night at Tao Downtown on New York City’s westside.

The Halloween party is tonight, and you've been too busy to come up with a clever costume idea.

Fear not! That’s plenty to work with. A little resourcefulness and your phone can go a long way to making a crazy awesome costume.

Where Is Thy Sting?
With your phone out of sight, turn its volume way up, and play this. Then spend the entire evening swatting at an imaginary bee. Amp it up with a little red makeup to add a few bee stings to your arms, neck, and face. Bee careful not to get stung.

Tweet, Tweet 
Place your smartphone in the inside pocket of a coat and play this with the volume turned up. Pad the pocket with a small towel to give it an ever-so-soft chick-like bulk. Carry on normal conversation with friends, pausing only to pull bread crumbs from another pocket that you’ll use to “feed these cute little things.” You said you wanted something creepy, didn’t you?

Everybody Loves a Photo Booth 
Affix your smartphone to your chest with the screen facing out. Open your camera app and switch to the rear camera. Let people queue up and take selfies. For partygoers who didn’t get in the spirit and dress up, carry a small bag with you that includes accessories like make-up, a feather boa, fun hats, sunglasses, props. Moto Voice users will have the added benefit of doing all of this hands free (just say “take a selfie!”).

Today, Motorola Mobility becomes part of the Lenovo family of companies, and we are thrilled.

Over the past two years we have transformed Motorola by focusing on what matters most -- consumers. We’ve made huge strides in bringing the mobile Internet to millions of people around the world and improving their lives through exceptional technology, experiences and value. While we’re proud of the progress we’ve made, we recognize that there is still much more we can achieve -- in innovation, reach and impact.

In Lenovo we have a partner that shares our mission and that brings global scale, a diverse product portfolio and a track record of seizing strategic opportunities and making the most of them. Together we will go farther, faster. With an impressive portfolio of smartphones, wearables and PCs, our two companies will be uniquely positioned to push the boundaries of choice and value, and bring exciting new experiences to people everywhere.

As excited as we are about what’s changing, we’re also pleased with what we are carrying forward with us. We will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Lenovo and remain headquartered in Chicago’s Merchandise Mart while maintaining offices around the world, including in Silicon Valley. The iconic Motorola brand will continue, as will the Moto and DROID franchises that have propelled our growth over the past year. We will continue to focus on pure Android and fast upgrades, and remain committed to developing technology to solve real consumer problems. And we will continue to develop mobile devices that bring people unprecedented choice, value and quality.

Motorola is a company that has long helped to define the course of the mobile telecommunications and mobile computing industries. With Lenovo backing us, we look forward to being able to reshape the industry for decades to come. We’re ready for the challenge and hope you’ll join us on the journey.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been five years since we launched the original DROID. Since then, DROID smartphones have come to be known for speed, power and endurance, built to outperform your expectations and push the limits of what a smartphone can do.

And today, we’re excited to announce the latest in this line of premium smartphones: DROID Turbo.

Your name says something about who you are and how you see the world. Maybe you’re named for a person or a place or maybe something just downright silly. We don’t get many opportunities to name things. But when we do, we reserve the best names and nicknames—the most creative, the funniest and most personal—for the people and things we love.

The new Moto X responds to your voice and whatever name you give it, but no matter the name, the story behind it is what matters most.

Whatever your choice, choose for you.
