A new Android-based mobile phone has found its way into Verizon's family of DROID handsets, namely the Motorola DROID Bionic, which packs a dual-core application processor and support for the wireless carrier's new 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) network.

The new mobile phone includes a CPU with each core clocked in at 1GHz, along with 512 MB of RAM, and support for data transfer speeds than are up to 10 times faster than 3G.

The new Motorola DROID Bionic also comes with support for enhanced web browsing features, offering users all the benefits of Adobe Flash Player and HTML5, while also being able to deliver improved graphic rendering when compared to the previous single-core solutions.

“Motorola’s DROID BIONIC gives new meaning to the word “socialize” by delivering multiple ways for customers to stay connected,” the wireless carrier announced.

The mobile phone comes with a front-facing VGA camera so that users can take advantage of video calls on Wi-Fi or 4G. Moreover, it packs an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with video recording capabilities.

The Android device sports a 4.3-inch qHD quality screen, HDMI connectivity for pairing it with HD televisions to enjoy favorite games, or HD content, in full 1080p, not to mention that the handset also includes support for simultaneous streaming of video to the TV and on the device.

“DROID BIONIC brings to life the speed and power of Verizon’s 4G LTE network, giving consumers an unrivaled mobile experience,” said Marni Walden, vice president and chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless.

“Whether downloading movies in minutes, connecting with friends or co-workers through video conferencing, or blazing through the Internet, Motorola’s DROID BIONIC is what the 4G LTE experience is all about.”

The new mobile phone also comes with corporate email, remote wipe and data security and encryption capabilities that any business user would enjoy, not to mention Quickoffice for document review and editing, conference calling, access to calendar, and a wide range of Google services and applications.

“DROID BIONIC is the epitome of speed, providing consumers with instantaneous access to their personal and work content, anytime and anyplace,” said Alain Mutricy, senior vice president of portfolio and device product management, Motorola Mobility.

“By combining such a powerful mobile device with the performance and capabilities of Verizon’s 4G LTE network, we’re empowering consumers to define how they want to live their mobile lifestyles.”
