Short Review

  • The Motorola DROID BIONIC XT865 features a compact design with dimensions of 125.9 x 66.9 x 13.3 mm and a weight of 158 grams, making it relatively portable.
  • Its 4.3-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 256 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset, supported by 1 GB of RAM, which handles basic tasks adequately.
  • The 8 MP rear camera captures images with autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization and video recording is limited to 720p.
  • Battery capacity is 1930 mAh, which may require frequent recharging given the device's age and performance demands.
  • The software runs on Android 2.2.1, upgradable to 4.1.2, offering a dated user experience.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone lacks advanced features such as stereo speakers and wireless charging.
  • The absence of a front-facing camera limits selfie capabilities.
  • Overall, the DROID BIONIC is a solid device for basic functionality but shows its age in performance and features.
