Verizon Motorola Droid Hardware Review

It is Incredible to think how Android came in a year. Exactly 12 months ago, we were always thrilled with T-Mobile G1 and Android 1.0 promises it holds.

365 days before and looking at the potential realized Droid is simply a fantastic device and Android 2.0 makes it even more surprising. Droid is our faith in Android, he reiterated.

Of course everyone knows much more than a droid the potential of Android.

How it all together?
What is the quality of the touch screen?
What is the strength of the structure?
What is the quality of a phone?

Read on to find out in our full review of the Motorola Droid! Results go to the full review of Verizon Motorola Droid Android Central read!

* It has decided to split our review into two Droid equipment and an overview of the review of Android 2.0. Overview of existing equipment and testing of the Android 2.0 is the weekend!

* The Design What makes the device a unique droid in the world of gentle curves and curves, it is unfortunate that every Droid and clean cut.

Motorola is not only designed the phone line, but forces him to raise. The construction industry is made entirely of materials (metal, glass) on the total weight of the phone (not light), all together in one of the most impressive feature in the recent past. and we are sure that with such a bold droid can not for everyone.

We recognize that the images seem blocks and shapeless, but when I saw and held for the first time seems to be the quality of construction and the aura of a luxury mobile phone in their hands. We believe that most people tend to love the way, but if not, we will certainly appreciate the art.
 

Starting with the front of the phone screen of the robot. In fact, one could easily believe that this iPhone 3Gs as plaque, if you do not know any better. Touch buttons on the bottom line of the screen (Back, Menu, Home, Search), and even if they are beautiful, we can not help but think of the adhesive solution might be a better choice.

There was no occasion in which he unwittingly a key that was not intended. This is not a big deal, but certainly worthy of note. maintain the highest point for users, design-wise, it may be that the top half of the phone screen is not consistent with the lower half of the keyboard.
Think of it as an anti-ment, in fact. This is an interesting design choice, that does not really affect the use in portrait mode, but something the phone in landscape mode (more on that later) are affected.

We are impartial in this election because we believe that the phone gives you more depth and character. Back of the droid is certainly remarkable. The gold belt that gives the line type of return Droid Speaker, the past, the world of luxury, aluminum, plastic and chrome.

Behind Droid also has a matte surface provides excellent traction for a mobile edges. Droid is larger than its predecessor, Android device and sharp edges, do not change this contradicts the idea (not Beard complex curves or here).

They also give more masculine appearance, we should be brave and courageous. So all in all, is very similar to the proposed droids. We can certainly understand those who hesitate, a phone that looks like a block of glass (in a good way), refers to well-appointed, but we are pleased to Motorola in the design of Road Less Traveled Droid.Screen is a robot, the user simply stunned . We also can not stress enough the beauty of the screen.

This is a 3.7 inch display with a resolution of 480 854, the bright colors and a beautiful rendering of the text link. Everything seems to be very clear.

Compared to iPhone 3G 3.5 inch screen, 320 480, is not really a contest of life as the iPhone outright. When we look at the screen Droid, you will wonder why it is not a new standard and then the phone does not seem to blur the old boundaries. And not only the resolution, so its pretty big screen, because the keypad Android software will be useful.

We will be honest, keyboard, software, Android is not the best soft keyboard for (we prefer HTC), but the screen Droid, we write the flies. What's more, because there is more space on the screen, with the participation of the keyboard still leaves plenty of room for viewing.

It does not feel cramped at all. Droid with a touch screen touch screen is also the most flexible on the Android device.

What could be several causes:
The touch screen is a very capable processor (3G Palm Pre and iPhone have similar processors), and perhaps even the Android 2.0 is optimized for high-octane purposes. Unfortunately, the robots are not multi-touch (at least on Verizon) has started, because, well, I do not know exactly why.

Multitouch is far more intuitive experience, it was virtually impossible to be stupid.

IPhone is a hero in (browser) should have Droid. What is it? We will be honest Keyboard. There will be many people who do not like the hardware keyboard at first sight.

Even if the click has a high elasticity of the good here, that the results are satisfactory, then the layout and appearance seems decent enough, he also had time to get used to.

The problem with the keyboard is that it is not easy to tell when a button starts and ends when the second, so fast typing is a bit 'on the sly, because at the end typinh fasdt. But we were honest and definitely enhance your physical keyboard.

Its strange to think of a hardware keyboard on a learning curve, but the keyboard is definitely Droid. Take g in a row and I'm sure you've done it once e. The strike is heavier than for the extension of the phone.

Make sure you write on the G1, has tried his hand on the chin instead? It is not so bad, but it is a similar feeling. You feel like the right side of overcompensation, and there is a slight discomfort in the project.

Only odd choice of anti-Chinese back to bite us where the beard now. Strange. 5-way D-pad is useless abroad. We believe that Motorola has only to make more gold accents add Droid, because I never found a real need.

Of course it is nice to go from time to time to go through the screens of text, but we feel the touch screen is almost always wins. Not that the d-pad away and helped to remove the keyboard (perhaps too), but his spirit is about.touchscreen four buttons on the front of the phone are cool, but not for practical use in a typical day. If you hold the phone in landscape mode, or use a virtual keyboard of the landscape (which is amazing), or take a picture, we have not been accidentally button.

When these buttons are pressure sensitive touch screen, but there would be no problem. In addition to disappear, the backlight button backlight touch screen sometimes when you use the phone makes it really hard to see if the menu or hit again.

Camera, battery life and Droid specifications are as follows:

3.7-inch WVGA touchscreen (854 480) 4:09 Cortex A8 ARM processor, 550 MHz, 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, DVD-quality video recording and playback, 16 GB (720 480) MicroSD (32 GB Upgrade ) headphone jack 3, 5 mm, the QWERTY keyboard, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS (Google Maps Navigator) 1400 mAh Android 2.0 ARM Cortex A8 processor particularly suited for the application and effectiveness of the droid is extremely fast .

Let's face it, slow it was very necessary in Android, and we are very satisfied, a new processor Droid (iPhone 3G Pre-her). We believe that this is a new standard for smartphones and look forward to more Android devices in the near future pop.

Are you sure that you are, we are to operate in Snapdragon. As we all agree not to return to the dark ages of 1.0 to G1, we are happy. For more information on the Droid is clean which is a micro-USB charger (which certainly helps a rarity) and is used microUSB port located next to the office.

Droid also has a discreet light notification, which combines high forehead on the phone, we were surprised when the lights and he could not even point, when it was turned off.

There are two logos Verizon, the two logos of Motorola and the Google logo on the Droid, fortunately, are all very thin. Droid also has a headphone jack 3.5 mm, lock / unlock the power button, volume rocker and dedicated camera button, they are very well prepared.

Do you want to go into detail very well with the entire image at a later time, but at this point, a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash on the Droid, pedestrians. Technical data of the camera that is oversold, but we expect a significantly better performance.

The best place to get the device is capable of good weather and perfect enlightenment. If you are at home, the colors for the entire picture looks clean and foggy start to look, it seems to light the camera is not loaded properly.

We do not know who to blame for the development, poor packaging or brass Motorola camera software from Google, but still, we were expecting much more. Well show you in detail soon, but trust us this time. Keep your ready to shoot. On the other hand, the battery life is very impressive.

We were a fist on the droids and that was all the stamp. Results may vary, of course, but also in heavy use (GPS, 3G, Wi-Fi, video streaming), you can easily get 1 full day without recharging. You will not find in the Droid Battery anemia. The telephone network. We always have on T and T-Mobile Android users here have been at the center (because I had the best mobile phone), which means we had to do with the ups and downs of the two networks.

Verizon, everything works and makes the phone even Droid. There are no dropped calls, seldom go to a lower speed than 3G, and there is simply no excuse. Verizon has a strong network, they boast about themselves, that there is a map, and should still be able to brag about, really love Verzon networks. Oh great phone in the game change the Verizon network is evident. Of course, foreign plans and very high that something must be taken into account, but at least the Big Red, you will receive a quality service for what you get paid.

Call quality is great, clear sound of the caller. Droid Works great as a phone. There are no scan and we are sure they will enjoy calling the droids. The speaker is good if for calls and music, sound, clean and with little or no static cracks.

Android comes to modernization and we think it's much better. Hardware thoughts What makes this edition is much more than anyone that this is the first Android device without compromise. This is not the ideal device, the device is not afraid, but not to strive for excellence and not lacking in this way.

How many devices did you say? Think about the features they want on the phone.

Devices on the keyboard.
A touch of light.
Powerful operating system.
Large network.
Nice equipment.
Solidly constructed.
Rapid.

Just make a list and check all Droid. We are very honored to create and distribute Motorola and Verizon to this phone amazing. Motorola, back against the wall, had the audacity of a phone, not the building's corners are not cut and released only in the contact section.
 

Verizon does not want that after the introduction of the iPhone and sentenced him to a phone network to use all have a great opportunity on Android and received a beautiful unit, which is enhanced by the best network in America.

Motorola, Verizon, Google, and all deserve credit for moving the unit, officially raised the bar for smartphones, and Android smartphones in general. We are sure that many users on the Droid Android and happiness will be presented, is simply a wonderful device to use. And although there are some peculiarities in the section of the keyboard and the quality of the camera and the Directorate-General for more than compensate for the equipment. 

Droid is a hell of a unit, and we have no problem saying it's the best Android phone on the market (only a month, because I do the same in the Sprint HTC Hero has said). We believe that if the market is a new smartphone, the Droid is the best option. We believe that if you can swallow their monthly Big Red, or an existing customer of Verizon to pay for his decision even easier.

Seriously, if you want the best phone on the best network is a droid. Its just like that. If T-Mobile G1, MyTouch 3G, Sprint, HTC, Motorola or Samsung at Cliq owners, no worries, we must hope for Android 2.0 and that his opinion is worth.
