Short Review

  • The Motorola DROID 4 XT894 features a compact design with dimensions of 127 x 67.3 x 12.7 mm and a weight of 178.9g, making it portable yet sturdy.
  • Its 4.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 275 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking in vibrancy compared to modern standards.
  • Powered by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and TI OMAP 4430 chipset, it delivers adequate performance for everyday applications, though it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
  • The 8 MP rear camera captures decent images and can record video at 1080p@30fps, while the 1.3 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
  • The 1785 mAh battery provides limited longevity, and it lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
  • Running on Android 2.3 with an upgrade option to 4.0, the software experience is outdated, lacking many features found in newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device does not feature stereo speakers, but it includes a headphone jack for audio output.
  • Overall, the DROID 4 is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs but falls short in performance and modern features.
