Mobile phone maker Motorola Mobility has been long rumored to plan the release of a successor for the newly released Motorola DROID 3, and that device has just made an appearance into the wild.

Supposedly called the Motorola DROID 4, the upcoming device should pack a similar design with the current DROID series, including the large touchscreen display and the side-sliding QWERTY keyboard.

The mobile phone was rumored before, and some of its specs have been brought to light at that time, but the new leak unveils even more of it.

In addition to the said photos that emerged over at Droid-life, you can also have a look at the full specifications list of the new device, which look quite appealing, that's for sure.

The new mobile phone is expected to arrive on shelves with a large 4-inch screen on the front, along with a full 5-row “illuminated” keyboard that would slide from beneath it.

The handset would also sport a high-quality photo snapper on the back, with full HD 1080p video recording capabilities.

Moreover, the hardware specifications for this device show that it will feature a non-removable battery, along with HDMI out and MotoACTV syncing.

The upcoming mobile phone would run under Google's Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread operating system (though a newer OS flavor might actually be loaded on it) and should offer support for Verizon Wireless' LTE network.

One other important piece of information on this handset is the fact that it sports a similar design with the newly launched DROID RAZR, even if it keeps the sliding design of the series.

For the time being, no specific info on the application processor that will be packed inside this smartphone is known, though it is expected to be a dual-core chip, clocked in at least at 1.2GHz.

The DROID 4 that can be seen in the photos attached to this article seems a finished device, but no specific info on the release time frame has emerged until now.
