14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone maker Motorola is expected to bring to the market in the United States a new high-end smartphone in the not too far future, namely the Motorola Droid X 2, which would be launched later this year as the successor of the popular DROID X, currently available on the airwaves of Verizon Wireless.
The same as its predecessor, the handset would be launched at Big Red with Google's Android 2.2 Froyo operating system on board, with the company's MOTOBLUR user interface on top.
The specifications list of this device, which made it to the web on The Mobi Zone (via Android Police), suggests that it would hit the shelves as yet another dual-core smartphone from Motorola, following the unveiling of DROID Bionic or ATRIX 4G with similar capabilities in early 2011.
The new Verizon-bound DROID should pack a 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core CPU, backed by 1GB RAM, which should make it as powerful as the aforementioned devices.
Moreover, the DROID X sequel is rumored to include a 4.3-inch qHD (960 x 540 pixel) display, as well as an 8-mergapixel photo snapper on the back (the same camera as on the original DROID X).
According to a recent article on Engadget, the new device, supposedly set to arrive on the market as the Droid X 2 (aka Droid X 'squared') is indeed headed to Big Red's network in the second quarter of the year.
The smartphone would sport the same features as the DROID Bionic, except for the LTE radios, the news site reports.
However, they note that the refreshed DROID X would include hardware specs like 4.3-inch WVGA (854 x 480) display, a 1.2GHz single-core CPU, and 768MB of RAM, less appealing than the aforementioned rumored features.
Provided that Verizon would indeed plan on launching a successor for DROID X in the coming months, additional info on it would emerge at that time, so keep an eye on this space to learn whether these rumors would pan out or not.
