Motorola Droid Overview
After the success of the Droid Razr model, they have chose to bring in a new model called Droid 4. This model looks promising and it may become one of the best cell phone deals.
The display of the device is big and it offers a resolution of 540x960 pixels. Along with the QWERTY keyboard this machine becomes a genuine laptop. The downside of the display is that it is not makes use of the latest Amoled technology. You will need to use an old LCD screen. The visibility of the display is not very decent and many potential customers might turn away due to this issue.
The good: Motorola's Droid 4 shows that a dual-core, 4G LTE Android slider phone with a QWERTY keyboard is possible. With fast data speeds and a great typing experience, the phone also serves up pleasing call quality over Verizon's network.
Hardware
The display here is a massive 540 x 960 pixels on 4-inches of space, putting this device at 275 pixels per inch. That's quite impressive when it comes down to it, it being not quite as rich with pixels as the Galaxy Nexus (at 316 ppi) but certainly ready to contend with the DROID RAZR whose same resolution sits on a slightly larger display, putting it at just 256 ppi. At this close range you wont notice the difference unless you're holding these devices up next to one another, but the difference is there.
Other than that you've got what's actually a slightly larger device than the DROID 3, this bulk coming from the additional plastic around the edges, seeming to have been added here for stylistic purposes instead of necessity. The device is almost exactly the same height as the previous DROID QWERTY and the keyboard is similar, but quite a bit nicer when you've used it for a bit. While the older DROID keyboards did seem excellent when they were first brought forth on the first couple of units, the age started to show harshly on the DROID 3. Here there's a new amount of space and a sensor-activated light surrounding the keys.
Phone and Battery
The battery on this beast is a full 1785 mAh placing it right beside the original DROID RAZR in battery rating and capturing just about as much time in the wild as well. When you're using this device for streaming video you'll get a few hours out of it – enough time for about a full movie and a half. If you're using it heavily throughout the day, you'll get something like 6-8 hours. If you're using it lightly, for email and web browsing exclusively that is, you'll be getting 10 hours or more no problem. One charge a night should be good for most users.
Camera
Motorola is back to having a decent beast of a camera here with 8 megapixels on the back along with 1080p video capabilities. Though it's not the most perfect setup we've seen with such specifications, it certainly out-does its predecessor. Have a peek at some demonstrations of the DROID 4's back-facing camera here and behold the loveliness.
