Leaked commercial story board for Verizon’s Droid MAXX is big on battery life
Update: We’ve had to pull the leaked image. A handy Google search may help if you missed it.
We got this leaked storyboard for an upcoming Droid MAXX commercial in our inbox this evening, and one thing really stood out to us. No, it wasn’t the scantily clad beautiful people in the pictures, or the idea of a tropical paradise, or even an exotic speedboat. All those things are nice, and will make for yet another great commercial from Verizon, but what really hooked us was this line:
48 hours of worry-free battery life, the new DROID MAXX.
It makes us think of Google CEO Larry Page, who told us that battery life was one of the important things Google wanted to showcase in Motorola’s upcoming phones last April. And one of the most common complaints from any smartphone user is about their battery life. It’s important, dammit and the folks making our phones have got to start working on it in a meaningful way.
While we’re a little skeptical about claims of 48 hours battery life on any smartphone (see those outlandish talk-time estimates) just making a statement like that has us believing that someone at Motorola has gotten serious about how long our batteries last between a charge.
We’re pretty sure the next Droid is going to have some pretty nice internals, but it looks like someone finally cares about one of the most important specs of all. We’ve dropped this one in the forums for discussion, so be sure to join in the fun while we wait for more information.
