Motorola Droid X2 photos and competing specs surface

By Molly McHugh Updated February 16, 2011

Motorola will finally premiere the successor to the Droid X sometime in the near future. Until then, you can enjoy sifting through full specs and photos of the Droid X2 that a commenter on forum The MobiZone got his hands on. The page originally posted is no longer available, but it’s cached here (although photos will not load).

Check out the specs:

NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core 1GHz processor
1GB RAM
4.3-inch QHD LCD display; 540 x 960 resolution
3G (no LTE/4G option)
8-megapixel rear-facing camera (no front-facing camera)
Froyo (Android 2.2); it’s possible the phone will upgrade to Gingerbread before launch

The Droid X2 is set to launch during the second quarter, and the report definitely lines up with what we heard earlier this year. The CPU and RAM upgrades are probably the most notable features, but can be found in the upcoming Droid Bionic – which is also LTE capable. Engadget, however, is insisting that the specs don’t seem quite right. According to its sources, Motorola will indeed launch a new Droid X (apparently called “Droid X²”) but it’s pared down a bit:

4.3-inch LCD; 480 x 854 resolution
1.2 GHz single-core CPU
768MB of RAM

So now we’re not sure what to believe. Either way, the Droid X has been a popular device for Motorola and a follow up is sure to get some attention.

I record interviews for work. These are my favorite free recorder apps

Before you head to the app store on your phone to buy a voice-recording app, take a moment to consider the apps that may already be installed on your phone. Why? In my experience, they're likely all you really need. I’ve recorded interviews and voice-overs for work for years, and I’ve found the two best examples come preinstalled on your phone already, so they’re entirely free to use.

The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases: 10 best ones so far

Two Galaxy Z Fold 5 phones next to each other -- one is open and one is closed.

Samsung’s next-generation foldable is here with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. This iteration has some notable improvements, including a new hinge design that eliminates the gap from previous generations when the device was folded. You also get a 6.2-inch HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the outside while having a 6.7-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the inside, with both screens having a 120Hz refresh rate. In other words, they're about as nice as you could ask for.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is made with premium materials, and the triple-lens camera system packs in a 50MP main shooter, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. There’s a 10MP selfie camera on the front cover, and a 4MP camera on the inner display. You also get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip inside for the best performance and power efficiency.

Google Pixel Tablet just got its first big discount and it’s worth a look

Google Pixel Tablet on its charging dock.

Tablets are a dime-a-dozen these days, with offerings from all the great brands including Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and more. So, if you really want to stand out in a sea of similar tech, you need to do things a little differently. That's what Google's Pixel Tablet offers. How? It comes with a unique speaker dock that can be used to both charge the device and offer room-filling sound -- almost like a smart speaker add-on. Better yet, when your Pixel Tablet is docked it benefits from the Hub Mode, turning the device into a smart display, with digital photo frame support, smart home controls, and hands-free Google functionality. Of course, it could set you back at full price, normally $499 unless you find it included in a roundup of the best Google Pixel deals. Well, guess what? Thanks to a Best Buy Google Pixel Tablet deal, you can get it today for $439 and save $60. Hurry, though, it's part of Best Buy's recent 48-hour sale so it won't stick around for long.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet
Okay, okay, so in our Google Pixel Tablet review, Joe Maring did give it less than stellar remarks, but he called out its reliable fingerprint sensor, comfortability during use and excellent speaker dock. Honestly, how many tablets come with a matching speaker dock that transforms the entire experience? This tablet also marks a "lot of firsts" for Google, as it's the first tablet from the company in nearly five years, the first Android tablet in eight years, and can be converted into a smart home display with the speaker dock. All of which are notable milestones.
