Comparisons Featuring Motorola DROID X2

Short Review

  • The Motorola DROID X2 features a compact design with dimensions of 127.5 x 65.5 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 155 grams, making it easy to handle.
  • Its 4.3-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 256 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
  • Powered by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset, the performance is adequate for basic tasks, supported by 8GB of storage and 512MB of RAM.
  • The rear camera has an 8 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • The battery capacity is 1540 mAh, providing limited longevity without fast charging or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software is outdated and not upgradeable to newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone includes a standard headphone jack, which is a plus for audio connectivity.
  • Overall, the DROID X2 is a basic smartphone with essential features but limited in performance and software capabilities.
  • Its design and build quality are solid for its time, but it may not meet the demands of modern users.
