Two Motorola phones making the global jump to Android's latest operating system.
The DROID RAZR and the DROID RAZR MAXX by Motorola will be the first 4G LTE smartphones on the Verizon Wireless network to be Global Ready.
The
upgrade, which will begin on June 22, will also upgrade all smartphones
in the DROID RAZR family to the popular Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
operating system.
Ice Cream Sandwich features upgraded
functionality and new features, such as Face Unlock. By looking directly
at the screen, the smartphone recognizes its owner and automatically
unlocks the device. It also includes Direct Access Lock Screen, which
allows you to easily open camera, text messages, and dialer from the
lock screen.
Customers can use the front camera to video chat with friends and family to share summer stories or even just to wave hello. The new Video Calling icon makes it easy to access video chatting apps like ooVoo and Tango.
The
upgrade also enhances the voice input technology, typing your words as
you speak emails or texts. Speak continuously for paragraphs at a time,
add punctuation and even edit mistakes with voice input.
As a
Global Ready device, customers with the DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX
will be able to have voice and data service in more than 220 countries,
when subscribed to an international plan.
Additional information on the ICS upgrade can be found on the DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX by Motorola support page.
