Official Droid 4 Specifications

Haven't seen anyone mentioning it yet, so I've decided to post it here.

The DROID 4 is upon us whether we are ready for it or not. The first pictures of it popped up a few weeks ago followed by signs pointing to it arriving on December 8. We also got confirmation that training has started for some Verizon shops, along with this set of official specs. Who knew we would see it so soon?
The D4 will have a 4″ screen (LCD or AMOLED?), 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, DROID RAZR styling, 5-row slideout keyboard, 4G LTE, front camera for video chatting and an 8MP rear camera. This could be the DROID that many of you have been waiting for. The Stratosphere had LTE and a keyboard, but this phone has top of the line specs to go with them.
On a related note, thoughts on the tool needed to remove the back cover? It doesn’t have a removable battery, but the cover can be removed using that circular tool pictured above, so that you can insert a SIM and SD card.

This is what the droid 3 should have been in the first place...Instead of opting for one standout phone though, Motorola decided to make 2 behind the curve phones in the time span of two months. They should give Droid 3 owners some kind of upgrade deal or something, that's just crazy.
edit: Did they get rid of the lip? If so, now I'm really upset, I always hated that lip at the bottom.

I strongly agree with you. The Droid 4 seems like the phone I've been waiting for the whole time. I'm quite sure Moto released the D3 with less superior hardware solely as a marketing strategy.
Too bad the battery's no longer swappable (with the exception of removing some additional covers)

I just got the droid 3 after tons of problems with the D2G. I must say, for not having paid for the phone, I'd be willing to pay for this D4. BUT, not being able to install an extended battery is a major dis. Sure the 1785mAh that this has is bigger then the 1500 the we have...but its still smaller than the 1950 the extended has. Who care how fast your phone is if its dead...

Does anyone know what version of Android this thing runs?

2.3.5 according to earlier reports (same as razr)

It most likely will also get ICS

just feel disappointed about it

Don't buy it. Realy the droid 4 six months after the droid 3. Then there will be thr droid 5 six month after that. That's why as soon as I can I'm never going to own a carrier phone again. Its all nexus for me. Motorola has disapointed me very much . People sign the patition pn the thread abouve this one.

Screen TFT? That would mean its not AMOLED like the RAZR. If so, I hope it is not pentile! Lets hope the screen is IPS/SLCD with classic RGB stripe matrix.

I have two Nexus 7's, Both have different screens.

I have two nexus 7's, one is a replacement which i got last week and the other is from the day of release.
While both screens have the same colours and resolution you can clearly see the difference in the photo below
Tablet on the left is the new one, the one on the right is the launch day model

I had 4 replacements and two had different screens than the other two. Even different from each other.

Different factories?

I will compare my n7 to my brothers tonight
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium App

New screens are worse...the vibrance on mine is terrible; colours have no depth.

I think is the quality of the IPS display. Because some ips displays are factory calibrated differently.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Most probably a different vendor for the screen. Asus does not make everything and some of the parts are sourced from different vendors (they should all have the same specs within tolerance). We used to face this when I worked with Laptops @ Dell.
The only difference I have seen (with laptop screens) is that sometimes a part form one vendor may be more prone to faults than the other. No way of telling which though till more defects are found.
You should be fine. But interesting observation though..

i went through 3 rmas with asus and i can tell you the difference is not screen dependent, but calbration dependent...they changed my screen 3 times, only the third time color changed, and thats because they changed the board(which downgraded me to an 8gb variant-.-)

Same here. I have a C60 8gb from August and a C90 16gb bought in late October, and the screens are different. Very very clearly different.

I have to say there is absolutely no visible difference between my two
Only the way light reflects off of it, I was hoping for better colours.

I think I see what the plan here is.
Make Nexus7 owners believe someone else has a better screen than them, and raise the RMA level....
Sneaky Apple, very sneaky...

Yea differnent release models.. Different hardware. The new screen should have some advantage over the old one, maybe longer lasting, maybe its brighter, or maybe its just cheaper to manufacturer lol

what does Apple have to do with this??
Anyway... is there a difference in touch response? i have the C70 model and it isnt as good as my Galaxy Nexus in touch responses.

When I was purchasing a replacement screen for my laptop on ebay I could choose from different companies that all made screens for that specific laptop. ie Samsung or LG.

Looks to be stock Android and the specs don't look to shabby on a few of those.
HTC ONE! Everything your phone isn't!

That is really cool.. I needed that.

I KNEW IT! I knew Apple was in the Android game. Look at them, doing what they do best. Taking everything in the world, and changing 2-3 letters, and making it their 'own'. Oh Apple, you so sneakz.
Inb4 Apple sues THL for making phones that look like other phones and do things other phones already do and then adds those things so their phone can do it too.
They patented copyright and patent-infingement, only Apple can duz that.

Technology Happy Life.
That's priceless. HTC should change their name to that.

I wonder if HTC or Samsung would go after them for these.

Lol, nice find.
The 'thL' logo even resembles that HTC logo from the bootloader.

No LTE

It's even funnier that you can buy them in bulk for a discounted price. LOL

274 for a 5 inch 1080p dual sim unlocked semi stock 4.2 android quad core clocked at 1.2ghz and micro sd? uhm honestly thats a great deal lol and it looks pretty good for the price imo

I wonder how reliable these are they would make a killing of i imported some and sold them on cl for 75 to 100 more than what i pay for

They're not once you realize that:
A. The CPU is actually terrible
B. The screen is awful despite being 1080p.
C. The software is buggy (even their screenshots have errors in the notification tray!)
D. You get essentially ZERO support from them, and in broken English!

Are all the reviews there shills?
If they aren't then these may not be half bad if you're ok with probably noisy pictures, 3G, a 2000 mAH battery (that's terrible for a 5") and pretty much (at least, I would expect) no support.
As for shipping, I found this
how much total cost i spend to receive this phone to my country and do you receive payment with paypal from indonesia?
Dear verdy,
Hello.
1.It will cost $11.6 by Register Air Mail .And the total is $261.59
2.You can pay with Paypal, Western Union/Credit card.
Thanks for your requirement.
Any other question, contact us any time.
Best regards!

This is for the W8+. Scroll down all the way on the devices main page for Q&A (some are quite amusing).

hey, for unlocked (decent) smartphone this is a freakin great deal. for someone who wasnt as big a phone geek as myself it would be an incredible device. i dont care how "bad" the proccessor is, dollars to value wise this is amazing. nice find.

Motorola X Phone or Nexus 4, which one would you prefer?

People say that Moto X Phone will drop in Aug., equipped a Dual-Core CPU, Clear-Pixle camera, and a Big battery which can let you using it for over 2 days. As the Nexus 4 has overheat problem, and a poor battery, easy smash glass back... which one would you prefer.
Actually my Nexus 4 can handle two days' usage, but it is really hot at sometimes. I would prefer Moto X phone, if it will be available soon..

I'll take the nexus 4 because I'm going to buy it when I get home from my holiday
sent from my blazing fast...... GT-19000..

Two things:
Nexus > Motorolas custom Android skin (and yes the X wont have stock Android)
High end > Mid range

I'd need to see the reviews once it's released to make any judgements on it over the N4.

Who said the moto x won't have stock android on it?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I'd say the decision comes down to what the real specs and details are when it's all officially announced. If it's vanilla Android with Moto widgets as a bonus- it will be interesting.
With Google/Motorola looking at spending a TON on marketing for this phone; it's hard to imagine Google allowing Moto to release something that won't grab a lot of people's attention.
Also, where it's being sold can be a factor for Nexus 4 owners. If it's carrier only I won't buy it. If it's through Play Store then we're getting closer to raising my interest.

I think I would stick with the Nexus. I don't like the button placement on that phone, I like the flat slab feel of the Nexus, curved phones tend to feel funny to me, glass > plastic, Nexus has a quad core where the X is said to have a dual core, etc.

LTE, better camera, better battery, and a better looking phone.... It is hard to stick with the N4 after the Moto X is released. It's rumored to have the same price as the N4 and considering it is being sold on the Play Store, it is clearly going to have a stock experience.

Easily the Moto X. Smart Actions are awesome imo. I always like Moto's build quality too. Their cameras are average. I should've bought a Moto Atrix HD over the Nexus 4 myself. The LTE will be active on the Moto X. I am preparing to sell my Nexus 4 for the Moto X or S4 in the next few weeks. The Nexus 4 is flawed because the digitzer is visible on each device, the camera is not great at all, the phone overheats too much, the battery is not as good as other devices like the S3. Outside of those issues, the phone is a good overall product. You cannot have everything for $330 (after tax and shipping.) The Moto X will have a slightly faster processor (might be dual core, but still faster, 1.7 dual > 1.5 quad even though dual will be overworked a bit more), the camera will be a lot better at 10 MP, the build quality will be better, the OLED display will help, the battery should be a RAZR Maxx HD style battery at like 3100 mAh, LTE like said before, customization on the build quality and design of your choice, and you can always put a rom like CM10 on it.

Nexus 6 discussion thread

I mean what was Google thinking...
6 inches for f***s sake. 5" was good enough, you could've taken it to 5.5" but 6 is just straight pain. Everything is so awesome and then you have many reasons not to upgrade to nexus 6 like 10.1 mm thickness the motorola logo on the back so big killing the grace of Nexus logo and of course the 6" giant display. We needed a phone and not a phablet.

agreed but looking at our Nexus 5. Form + function Like a boss

Without the funtionality of the Note series 6" is overkill for most but damn does is look sexy.. I hop Lollipop includes funtionalitt with stylus build in. One of the ads ha a nice ass looking stylus lying next to it.

Do we really need a separate thread for Nexus 6 that too in a Nexus 5 Forum?

don't like it? don't buy it. seems pretty simple to me

I know and the purpose of this thread is Nexus 5 users' opinion on the phone.

The size is not the problem, the size of the price tag is. Damn, I can't even tell you how disappointed I am... Moto X 2014 GPE for me.

too big, too ugly, too much

Current Nexus 4 owner here who will not be buying the Nexus 6. I agree too big and too pricey. I only hope they continue to sell the Nexus 5 (32GB Black currently out of stock). That's the only phone I want to purchase now. Would have been nice if Google did a slight refresh of the Nexus 5 to sell to users who don't want a mammoth phone. If they had taken the Moto X and added Qi charging and called it the Nexus 5 (2014) I'd be ecstatic.

Beastly phone. It's such a shame it's so big, in my opinion.
Phablet users get to rejoice. Everyone else, not so much. Such a shame there's no updated Nexus 5.

Looks like I'm going to save some money. Too big, way more expensive and doesn't come in black. Not tempted at all in buying this and ditching my N5.

It comes in pints? I'm getting one!

OK so quick question. Preorders start for this at the end of the month. Does anybody know if I will be charged as soon as I pre-order or if I won't be charged until it ships?

until it's official, it's just a guess, but as with the the other Nexus devices in the play store, you never got charged before it actually shipped.

Yeah that is what I was basing it on. How that's how it goes with nexus 6

Too many other options in that price range with the play editions out there. I would have bought it around $100-$150 more, but IMO its not worth $250 more. I'm staying with the 5 and probably buying a few more of those if they go on sale for my wife and kids.
Google missed the mark on this one, I guess they want us to help out for paying too much for Motorola...

I will wait for the device on display and compare before I buy it (maybe not), the size does concern me, the thickness (1cm) and weighs 50 grams more
