Motorola Droid X smartphone a win for Android
Category World | Monday, June 28th, 2010
Motorola Droid X is one nice phone. It comes with a 1GHz processor and 512MB of memory. It’s (comparatively) big: 5 in. long, 2.6 in. wide and 0.4 in. thick, roughly a quarter inch wider and half an inch longer than an iPhone. If you’re used to iPhones, you will notice the larger size — especially the width.Of the phone’s 5-in. length, 4.25 in. is glass, and the glass covers the entire width, most of which is display, except for about a quarter inch of casing on either side. The display is a WVGA 480 x 854-pixel screen — I found it to be very clear and sharp.To accommodate the dual LED flash and camera — 8 megapixels with 720p video capture — there’s a sculpted quarter-inch bulge behind the earpiece. That sounds worse than it is, and it actually makes the phone easier to find in a crowded pocket or purse.
