Meet the new Motorola Droids: Razr HD and Razr Maxx HD

Motorola launched into what company CEO Dennis Woodside called "the new Motorola" Wednesday with the introduction of its new flagship phone: the Droid Razr HD.

The company also threw an HD handset - the Droid Razr Maxx HD - with an amped up battery life in the mix as well.

Calling the Razr HD "the most compact, big screen smartphone," Motorola Senior Vice President of product management Rick Osterloch ran through the 4.7-inch displayed device, saying the screen "stretches to the corners."

The display has 78 percent more pixels than the original Razr and 85 percent more color saturation than the iPhone 4S, Osterloh said.

Demonstrating HD quality video, Osterloh made the point the Razr HD is meant for high-quality photos and videos.

Running a dual-core processor and compatible with Verizon's LTE network, the Razr HD is "built for speed."

As with all Motorola phones from now on, the HD comes pre-installed with Google Chrome, which Osterloh said is 40 percent faster than iPhone 4S with Safari.

A 2500mAh battery and a talk time of up to 16 hours makes this Razr's battery capacity "almost double that of the competition."

It's thin too, measuring 8.4mm thick.

For those who crave even more battery power, Motorola also introduced the Razr Maxx HD.

Fueling 32GB of storage, the phone can stream up to 27 hours of music, 10 hours of video over 4G LTE and has a talk time of up to 21 hours.

"It has a ridiculously longer battery life," Osterloh said.

Both phones run Android 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich, though they'll be upgradable to Jelly Bean later this year.

Both will be on sale "by the holidays."
