Short Review

  • The Motorola DROID X features a solid build with dimensions of 127.5 x 65.5 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 155g, making it comfortable to hold.
  • Its 4.3-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 228 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
  • Powered by a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A8 CPU and TI OMAP3630 chipset, the performance is adequate for its time, complemented by 6.5GB of RAM.
  • The 8 MP rear camera captures decent images, although it lacks optical image stabilization and can record video at 720p.
  • The 1540 mAh battery provides limited endurance, with no fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 2.1, upgradeable to 2.3, the software experience is basic and lacks modern features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device includes a standard headphone jack, accommodating traditional audio accessories.
  • Overall, the DROID X offers a functional experience with essential features for its era.
  • However, it lacks advancements seen in later models, reflecting its 2010 release.
