Overall comparison: 

  • Droid Razr / Razr Maxx is more thinnest. 
  • Nexus has a sexy look design, but razer is classic.
  • Galaxy nexus has 720p HD screen with ~316 ppi.
  • Razr / Razr Maxx has 4.3 inches Display & it is protected with Gorilla glass ( Tough and More damage resistance ).
  • Nexus is upgradable to android 4.1 (jellybean), Razr /Maxx works on ICS ( Jellybean update will available soon ) check here.
  • Motorola droid razr / maxx had external memory card slot, expandable upto 32 gb, Nexus no memory card slot.
  • Motorola droid razr / razr maxx has 8 MP 1080p FULL HD Camera, but nexus had 5 MP 1080p HD Camera.
  • Battery Life (most important thing for a smartphone) Motorola Droid Razr Maxx is fitted with 3300mAh industrial non-removable battery. This boost the performance upto 21 hours of continuous talk time and 2-3 day afterall full usage, upto 607 hours stand by time. 
  • Motorola Droid Razr Maxx hold a title of with the largest battery ever used in mobiles.
  • Both the Razr and Razr Maxx audio was loud and clear when compared to nexus.

These mobile are almost having same features, they have some difference but they are negligible. still confused which mobile to buy..?



My suggestion:

  • If you are a geek (a computer expert or enthusiast) then i recommend Droid Razr Maxx.  Because with a big battery nothing can stop you from exploring, (gives max talktime & more browsing ). or you can buy Droid Razr If you are upon your money budget.
  • If you are buying for passion then you can go for nexus it got the sexy design.  
  • Finally the choice is your's. So check all the features and get the right mobile for you.
