Motorola Droid 4 Review

Score: 62 / 100

Motorola Droid 4 is a complete device launched many years ago, coming with a high speed Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1.2 gigahertz, a 4" multi-touch screen, and 2 cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front facing camera. That's all? Not at all, it's just the starting point of a much deeper review.

Motorola forgot about weight optimization in this 6.31 oz cellphone, way heavier than other similar devices. Motorola onlymade the Motorola Droid 4 in color black.

The Motorola Droid 4 comes with a TI OMAP4430 chip, which holds a high-tech 1.2 GHz Dual-Core processing unit and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a little bit poor comparing with its awesome processing power. Graphic rendering often uses a lot of processing power, so the Motorola Droid 4 uses an extra 304 MHz PowerVR SGX540 graphics processing unit to improve overall performance. The Motorola Droid 4 comes with an 8 GB quite large internal storage and a slot for an external memory card, allowing you to store a couple hundred games and apps without any problem.

Motorola packed the Motorola Droid 4 with a very good 4 inches screen, and a resolution of 960 x 540 , providing this phone with a good graphical experience. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This cellphone includes wifi connection (which it can provide to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE fast connection type and 3G connectivity, over EV-DO A technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM connection and it can work with both GSM and CDMA networks.

The Motorola Droid 4 has two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 1.3 MP front camera. It can also shoot videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. This camera also features flash.

This phone comes with a 1785 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion replaceable battery that provides this cellphone a quite short battery life comparing with other similar devices. According to Motorola, this cellphone has an estimated stand by time of 204 hours and a talk time of 12.5 hs.

This cellphone also includes a couple of interesting features like Bluetooth (4.0, EDR), GPS and Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Barometer and Compass.

This phone is really expensive considering it costs $ 255, and other similar cellphones can be found for much less money. No matter if you are looking for a social cellphone, love photography, want it for work or will use it as a gaming cellphone, this phone is probably the correct option .
