Motorola Droid X Features, Specs, and Release Date
So Engadget got to play with a Droid X for a bit and found out a few new things about it. Here’s a quick summary of all the new features, specs, and release information there is out right now.
| Headed to Verizon (exclusively most likely) |
| It is slightly longer and wider than the HTC Evo from Sprint |
| It has a 4.3″ capacitive screen with 854×480 with a mirror trim around it |
| Phone is running Android (I’d say 2.2 based on the Android Helper Widget seen on the homescreen). It also apparently has a new version of Motorola’s Blur UI (the UI seems much less intrusive and more refined than we see in say the Backflip or CLIQ). |
| There is a Blockbuster App, DLNA app, and HDMI Out; expect Multimedia to be a main focus. |
| 8MP Camera with Flash. Records 720P resolution video. |
| New Multitouch keyboard (capable simultaneously hold down two keys and it will register both, makes for faster typing) and the Swype keyboard preinstalled |
| 1Ghz ARM processor most likely |
| 8GBs of Internal Storage built in |
| Being officially announced by Verizon on June 23rd (Yes, that is one day before another certain smartphone is to be released. Coincidence? Doubtful.) |
And that’s it for now, gents! So big question; Droid Incredible or Droid X?
Any news if it will be launched in the UK???
Riz,
At the moment, doesn’t look like it. 🙁
Motorola is notorious for making phones for one specific company and not releasing unlocked or overseas equivalents… but you never know maybe a phone company in the UK will pick it up.
does anyone know the price yet
im guessing to keep the droid x at the same level of competition (evo4g), the price would be at $200 with 2 year. which seems to be the new standard.
@TheUnlockr, just wondering once the Droid X is rooted , and with a custom ROM, will I be able to use the HOT SPOT with out paying Verizon there $20 charge ?
DirtySouth,
That depends on the ROM. If it is Froyo from the original Droid then it won’t have WiFi tethering built in. The other option is a 3rd party app like Wifi Tether, but they would need to create a brand new app for the Droid X (which they might not even do)….
I’m in UK – no Droid X, no Evo – Orange haven’t even got stock of the Desire….(or even WinMo HD2)!!??
Anyone got any recommendations for similar type phone/spec??
Overdue for upgrade!
