Motorola begins RAZR and RAZR MAXX Jelly Bean rollout, starts killing off Motoblur

Motorola RAZR MAXX Jelly Bean update

Motorola announced at the end of last week that the Jelly Bean update for the Motorola RAZR and Motorola RAZR MAXX had begun rolling out. As expected, this includes enhancements such as Google Now, expandable notifications and voice search.

Interestingly, Motorola has also removed elements of Motoblur. Users that have received the US Verizon version of the update (version.98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US) have reported that some of Motorola’s own apps and widgets have been removed, or replaced with stock Google apps.

Those apps that have been removed include Social Location, MOTOACTV, MOTOPRINT and Verizon on demand video.

Removed widgets include My Gallery, My MOTOCAST, My Music, Picture>Slideshow, Social Location, Sticky Note, Weather and World Clock.

MOTOCAST has been redesigned and is now faster and is now a standalone app- it is no longer linked to MyMusic, Files and Gallery.

Alarm/Timer, My Gallery and My Music have been replaced with their stock Android equivalents.

At the moment we do not know if the same goes for updates outside of the US, so let us know if the comments if you do receive the update.

RAZR, RAZR i and RAZR MAXX to get Jelly Bean next year

Jelly Bean confirmed for RAZR handsets

Motorola has confirmed that handsets from its RAZR line-up will be receiving an update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in 2013.

At the moment the RAZR i is the only handset that has a timeframe specified for the update, which is currently scheduled for ‘Q1 2013’, but the Jelly Bean update has also been confirmed for the RAZR and RAZR MAXX, but without estimated arrival dates. 

There is also a caveat on the Motorola update page to say that dates are subject to change. However hopefully it will not be too much longer until we see the update for Motorola’s flagship and its siblings.

We take a look at how the mega battery of the Motorola RAZR MAXX fairs up

The Motorola RAZR MAXX has one feature that stands out above all others, and it is a feature that not many potential users will consider as particularly important. The 3,300mAh battery is purported to offer 17.6 hours of talk time and 380 hours of standby which in comparison to other high end Android phones is very impressive.
