Motorola Announces New Webtop Lapdock 100

You are in an Android Post

With phones like the Bionic and Photon 4G, Motorola continues to develop smartphones compatible with Webtop accessories, like the laptop dock made famous by the Atrix earlier this year. With more such phones on the way, Motorola is coming out with an updated model, the Lapdock 100.

For starters, the Lapdock 100 exchanged its black facade for a more charcoal-looking exterior. It has the same sort of large keyboard as before, making typing feel so much more natural than on a tiny touchscreen. The dock's display now measures-in at 10.1 inches, down from the 11.6 original, and although we couldn't find the exact figure, it's likely the same 1366?768 resolution.

The Lapdock 100 will be compatible with future Webtop-enabled models (and existing ones), and weighs just 2.2 pounds. AT&T will be the first to get it, with sales starting online on October 17. Verizon and Sprint will get the dock before the year's end.

Motorola Droid RAZR Hardware Specs Outed?

You are in an Android Post

It's looking very likely now that the Motorola Spyder/Droid HD is going to be released as the Droid RAZR. We've also been hearing plenty of comparisons between the RAZR and Samsung's Nexus Prime, also expected to be coming to Verizon; both handsets are supposed to be quite high-end, and rumors suggest they'll be directly competing against each other for the attention of Verizon's subscribers. Today we begin to get a picture of just how the RAZR will line-up on a hardware level, with the purported leak of some of the phone's specs.

The source behind this information isn't named, but BGR seems quite confident that the figures are correct; keep in mind, though, that none of this is official. Supposedly, the Droid RAZR will have a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and one gigabyte of RAM. We had heard that 1.2GHz figure before, compared against a 1.5GHz version of the RAZR from earlier in its development. The RAZR is supposed to feature a 4.3-inch display, covered by Gorilla Glass.

Sadly, we don't have an exact measurement for what could be the most interesting part of these specs, the news that the RAZR could be thinner than the latest iPhone. Not just thinner, though, but reportedly faster, too. Despite its svelte construction, the RAZR may also feature an LTE radio for Verizon 4G. Hopefully, we'll be getting a complete run-down on the RAZR's capabilities next week at Motorola's Tuesday event.

Motorola Droid Pro Finally Getting Gingerbread Update

You are in an Android Post

Motorola revealed back in May that it would be providing Gingerbread updates for a large portion of its Droid family of smartphones, including the Droid Pro. Just a week or so later, we heard that the Droid Pro's Gingerbread update was already heading out to users. That turned out to be a false start, and marked the beginning of a summer plagued by such troubled software releases for Motorola phones. Now that fall's upon us, Motorola and Verizon are trying their hands at this again, and it looks like Gingerbread for the Droid Pro is finally ready to arrive.

Verizon has updated its support documents for the Droid Pro to reflect this new release, bringing the phone up to system software 4.6.8.XT610. The major component of the update is, of course Gingerbread, and all the improvements we've come to expect from it. You'll find plenty of fixes and system tweaks, as well, hopefully keeping your Droid Pro in tip-top operating condition; battery life should be a bit extended, GPS use won't make the Droid Pro reset, and there have been several fixes to SMS behavior.

We've heard that some users are getting the update already, but don't have word on how long it should be before it reaches everyone.

Motorola, Verizon Holding October 18 Event; New Droid To Debut?

You are in an Android Post

Samsung may have had to postpone it's Unpacked event with Google, and while we'll have to keep waiting if we want to see what we're all expecting to be the Galaxy Prime along with Ice Cream Sandwich, it looks like we'll have product reveals from other manufacturers to deal with in the meantime, with Motorola just sending out invitations for an event it's throwing with Verizon scheduled for next week, October 18.

Motorola invites attendees to check out "the next big innovation" it's been working on. That sounds a lot like a product announcement, so what could it be? We've heard of a Droid 4 that's being developed, but it's much too early to expect that guy to show up. Far more likely would be the chance to see the Droid HD or Droid RAZR. We heard a rumor that the Droid HD (aka Spyder) was in fact the Droid RAZR itself. Previously, we had been thinking they were indeed two distinct models, and now hopefully this event will put that uncertainty to rest. Another hint this is the path Motorola is walking down: a reference to "spyder" in the invitation's filename.

Notice the razor blade in the clip? Hint, hint. And the formula for Kevlar (which is supposed to be used in the construction of the RAZR)?

Sprint Showdown: Samsung Epic Touch 4G vs. Motorola Photon 4G

You are in an Android Post

Sprint currently has two powerful, high-end Android phones available for sale at the $199 price point: the Epic Touch 4G (essentially a Galaxy S II but with a larger display) and the Motorola Photon 4G. Both devices offer dual-core CPUs with a gigabyte of RAM, plus WiMax 4G connectivity on Sprint. The display on the Photon 4G is higher resolution with 960x540 pixels, but the Super AMOLED Plus display of the Epic 4G Touch is a sight to behold, thanks to fantastic contrast.
In this video, we compare the hardware and software of the Epic Touch 4G and the Photon 4G, plus compare web browsing speed, gaming performance, boot up times, and much more. Stick around towards the end of the video where we compare HD video recording performance.
Beyond the displays, the rest of the specs are quite similar. As with most Motorola high-end smartphones, the Photon 4G does HDMI out without a special adapter.

The Motorola Droid Bionic is the latest in high-end smartphones from Motorola running Android for the Verizon network. Like its predecessors, the Droid Bionic doesn't fail to deliver a high-end feature set. The Bionic has sleek lines and a very generously-sized screen that is sure to impress. Combined with Verizon's 4G LTE network, this phone is fast in every sense of the word.

BOX CONTENTS

The Droid Bionic comes with a nice box that contains the smartphone, large-capacity 1735mAh Li-Ion battery, wall charger, microUSB sync/charging cable, some guides, and a 16GB microSD card pre-installed. The battery, LTE SIM, and battery cover must be installed prior to first use, but doing so is quick and easy. For such a high-end smartphone, I was surprised that no earbuds were included.

HARDWARE

The Motorola Droid Bionic features a dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor aided by a ULP GeForce GPU and Tegra 2 AP20H chipset with 1GB RAM and 2GB ROM. The 4.3-inch screen features a beautiful TFT capacitive screen. At 540 x 960 and a pixel density of approximately 256 ppi, images are crisp, text is clear, and there's plenty of room for people with larger hands and bigger fingers.

The Bionic includes the usual round-up of sensors: accelerometer, proximity sensor, light sensor, digital compass, and aGPS.
As far as wireless goes, the Bionic has you covered with CDMA 800/1900, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO 3G Rev. A (up to 3.1Mbps), 4G LTE WLAN, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot (which requires an additional subscription), and Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP and EDR. If you're into wires, in addition to the standard microUSB v2.0 port, the Bionic also features an HDMI port for video-out.
The Bionic's rear-facing camera is 8MP (3264x2448 pixels) but can be set for 6MP-widescreen and features auto-focus, dual-LED flash, geo-tagging, face detection, and image stabilization. It can also shoot 1080p HD video. The front-facing camera is VGA and works wonderfully well with Google Talk's video chat feature.
The build quality of the Droid Bionic is excellent; Motorola used quality materials which makes the phone feel high-end. The battery cover does make a slight squeaking sound right at the USB and HDMI ports, but tolerances are tight and everything fits snugly in place.

CAMERA

As you can see from the samples of still images and HD video, the 8MP camera on the Droid Bionic is nothing short of beautiful. The shutter speed is fast, the video is smooth and fluid, and audio is clean and clear.

SOFTWARE

The user-interface on the Motorola Droid Bionic isn't the "pure" UI that stock versions of the Gingerbread version of Android come with -- but what Motorola has done is very subtle and the changes aren't obtrusive -- in fact the UI changes have what I feel are hints of Honeycomb. Basically, Motorola has built on the stock UI and very subtly improved upon it. Coming from me, that's saying a lot.

As far as pre-installed software ("bloatware") goes, the included apps are mostly unobtrusive. Some of the more notable apps that Motorola included are:
- City ID (for extra caller id information)
- Citrix Receiver (for virtualization and remoting)
- DLNA (for sharing and receiving files from other DLNA devices)
- Files (a file browser)
- GoToMeeting (for participating in online meetings)
- IM (a unified instant messaging client)
- Lets Golf 2 (an amazing looking, but level-limited golfing game)
- Hot Spot (Verizon's proprietary Wi-Fi hotspot app which requires an additional subscription to use)
- MotoPrint (remote printing on supported printers)
- NFL Mobile
- News (for RSS aggregation)
- Slacker FM (for listening to streaming music)
- Verizon Navigator (a pay-per-use or subscription GPS navigation app)
- and a few others

PERFORMANCE

The Droid Bionic is fast -- very fast. Overall performance is great, but may be ahead of what benchmarking utilities can accurately gauge.

Quadrant: 2500, with some graphic anomalies in the video portion of the test
Smartbench 2011: did not complete (likely due to screen resolution)
Linpack: 3.9seconds, 42.885 MFLOPS (multi-threaded)

Although benchmarks are good for comparisons, as many Pocketnow readers have pointed out, they should not be relied on as the only source of comparison. That said, the Droid Bionic is the fastest, most fluid, and the "smoothest" phone I have ever used. It's fast where it needs to be, never lagged or hung-up a single time, and gave the impression of a well-oiled machine.

DATA SPEEDS

When running Speedtest.net on the Droid Bionic, the first thing I noticed was how quick the entire app was -- very fast, very smooth.

Wi-Fi: 18ms ping, 15.72Mbps down, 4.09Mbps up
3G: 181ms ping, 0.39Mbps down, 0.84Mbps up
LTE: 79ms ping, 4.2Mbps down, 1.29Mbps up

I'm not in an area with significantly fast LTE speeds, but some readers have commented that they're seeing LTE speeds in the 20Mbps down range, so the phone is clearly capable of super-fast speeds as long -- as you're under the right data umbrella.

CALL QUALITY

Call quality is good, but not great. I had more dropped and "phantom" calls using Verizon than with the AT&T and T-Mobile phones that I've reviewed recently. It's not a show-stopper, but something that I wouldn't have expected in such a high-end phone and such a good carrier.

BATTERY LIFE

With moderate to heavy use, the huge battery that comes in the Droid Bionic will last about half a day. You'll want to start the day with a full-charge; if using GPS you'll want to charge the device while driving to and from work, and while you're at work, and anywhere in between -- otherwise you won't make it through an entire day. Additionally, if you use your own USB charger you may notice that charging is either very slow, or that the phone doesn't charge at all. If you use the included wall charger you won't have those problems. Even when using the included charger, it takes a long, long time to fully charge the battery.

I recommend that you get the wireless battery charger accessory and a few charging pads so you don't have to worry about plugging in everywhere -- you'll simply set your phone down on the charging pad and won't have to worry about an empty battery.

PURCHASING AND AVAILABILITY

The Motorola Droid Bionic is available from retailers like Negri Electronics for around $690, off-contract.

On-contract you can pick up your very own Motorola Droid Bionic for $150 through Amazon.com.

PROS

+ Great build quality
+ Awesome performance
+ Plenty of internal storage
+ Beautiful screen
+ 1080p video recording

CONS

- No earbuds included
- Poor battery life
- Strange audio "popping" and "whine" when using 3rd party earbuds

CONCLUSION

The Droid Bionic is a solid performer, and the smoothest Android-powered smartphone I've used to-date. With the phone's appetite for power, it would have been nice for Verizon to include the accessory back-plate for wireless charging as a standard feature, just to help make it through the day -- but once you're aware of the limitation and look for opportunities in your daily routine to top-off the battery, you'll be fine.

The audio anomalies that many have experienced seem to be random and intermittent, and might be mitigated by using high-end earphones. Since the phone doesn't come with any earbuds, we're left wondering if it's the quality of 3rd party earbuds, or the phone itself that's responsible for the noise.

Overall, the phone is simply amazing, even with its very few shortcomings. We rate the Motorola Droid Bionic a 4.5/5.

Motorola Admiral For Sprint Shown Off On Video

You are in an Android Post

We've seen Motorola's Admiral show up in still images before, but now we have the opportunity to see the phone in action, thanks to an introductory video Sprint has uploaded to YouTube.

There aren't any features mentioned here that we weren't already expecting for the Admiral, but the video does offer a nice once-over of the phone's layout, showing off button arrangement, that may help you get a better sense of its design that you were previously able to. Those hardware buttons lining the Admiral's flanks include one for Sprint's new Direct Connect system, delivering an IDEN-like push-to-talk environment over CDMA

The five-device hotspot support may not be the feature it used to be, but it will still get your gadgets online in a pinch. The Admiral has a 3.1-inch VGA display, 4GB of internal flash storage, and a five-megapixel camera capable of recording 720p video. The 1.2GHz single-core phone will arrive running Android 2.3 and will be ruggedized against dust, shock, and general user clumsiness. There's no word yet on an ETA.

Motorola Edison Drops PenTile Pixels and LTE, Gets Shutter Button

You are in an Android Post

There's been a lot of buzz lately around the Motorola Edison -- often referred to as the Atrix 2 -- for AT&T. It was initially tipped by webtop code and then passed FCC without LTE mention just to smile for the camera more recently bragging its specs.

Thanks to an early hands-on we now know that the Edison dropped the PenTile display on its qHD screen to display text that is more crisp but unfortunately there comes confirmation of dropped LTE support too. The Edison will max out at HSPA+ on the network but those who take a lot of pictures will be glad to find out there's a camera button dedicated on the phone. The 1GHz Texas Instruments OMAP processor is fast but not among the top CPUs; it scored 2,201 in Quadrant which is pretty much the lower end of the top list. Check out more details by following the source link.

Motorola Droid Bionic Won't Stop Whining

You are in an Android Post

Owners of the Droid Bionic are reporting widespread problems with the phone's audio output, resulting in a high-pitched squeal that is annoying many to no end.

The problem is most noticeable when listening to audio with headphones. You won't hear anything when nothing's playing, but if you wait for a quiet portion (though with the phone still outputting audio), you may hear the distinctive whine for a few seconds.

There as many theories for its presence as there are work-arounds to avoid it. One likely theory, though unfortunately one that doesn't sound fixable via software update, is that a flaw in the phone's power supply or ground wiring introduces this feedback in the audio amplification stage. You might have luck being able to suppress the sound by turning your phone's volume all the way up, and then using an in-cord volume control to adjust your headphones; even if that's sufficient, you shouldn't have to buy additional hardware for your brand-new phone to work right.

Motorola is reportedly looking into the issue, but we don't have any estimate on when a fix might be ready.

The "weapon of choice", as Sprint would have us believe, is the newest to their mobile lineup - the Motorola Photon 4G. With a body whose beveled corners encase its powerful Tegra 2 1Ghz dual-core processor, this phone certainly feels good in the hand. Motorola's first 4G device (and a world phone as well) on Sprint looks to be a solid contender, but will it be able to win the battle of the consumers? Read on for the full review!

BOX CONTENTS

Not much in the way of included accessories in the box with the Photon 4G. A wall charger and appropriate USB cable is all you'll find outside of the manuals. No additional microSD is included, although the device can support up to 32GB cards.

HARDWARE

A dual-core 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor is at the core of this Android phone. In addition, 1024Mb of RAM, 16GB of built-in storage, and a 1700mAh battery fill out the rest of the basic specs.

The standard complement of accelerometer, GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, are here, but again missing is a gyroscope.

Even without a hardware keyboard, the Photon 4G is quite large, although it feels quite comfortable in hand. Weighing in at 5.57 ounces it feels hefty, but not abnormally so.

Due to PenTile technology, the screen looks great in almost any lighting situation, as long as you don't look too closely or start analyzing the color accuracy. Sporting a four-inch 540x960 (qHD) Gorilla Glass screen, the Photon 4G does suffer from the same issues all PenTile displays seem to have: noticeable pixels, and ghosting during fast panning.

The front of the device has four capacitive touch buttons along with an LED notification, front facing camera and standard sensor set. The screen edges have a slightly rounded lip, giving an even more unique look to the phone. The beveled edges and corners allow for a great feel. The finish was easily marred however (on one corner and the edge of the screen) as I carried the device in my pocket, revealing flat black plastic beneath.

At the top edge of the Photon is the small chrome power button and headphone jack.

The battery cover has a soft touch plastic feel, which when removed reveals a 1700mAh battery, the microSD slot and SIM card (GSM supported, but not in the US).
Also on the back of the device is the silver kickstand. Magnetically held to the device, when extended it allows you to put the Photon 4G into a mini-clock with widget functionality - as long as you use the default launcher. Switching over to a third-party launcher seems to cause the kickstand functionality to be limited to just rotating the device to landscape.
On the right-hand side of the Photon is a textured volume rocker and dedicated camera button. While the ribbed chrome buttons are nice, it would have been more beneficial if the camera button was two stage vs one. But more on that in the camera section.

Volume from the Photon 4G is very loud, whether from the headset or main speaker.

The HDMI and USB charging/sync ports are found on the left side of the phone. As you can see from our Software Video tour below, this spacing allows easy connection to any of the various Motorola accessories on the market today, such as the car or media dock. If you already have one of these docks, you may just need the proper plastic shim so the Photon fits appropriately.

Unfortunately, the Webtop Connector functionality is less than stellar. Video at full screen is choppy and the browser (Firefox) is two versions behind.

SOFTWARE

Sprint has thankfully kept the bloat to a minimum and given the user the ability to remove some of these apps. Sprint ID is on the Photon, but not forced upon the user.

Alas, the "this-is-not-Blur" Motorola UI was plagued with spurts of lag and stutters. Switching over to a third-party launcher cleared up these inadequacies, but then limited the kickstand in its functionality.

CAMERA

One would think with an 8MP camera, the images would be quite crisp and colorful. Unfortunately, as seems the norm with Motorola cameras recently, if you don't have a lot of light, the results look good on your phone, but are blurry when you look at them full resolution (see the samples above).

The Photon 4G didn't suffer from the same focus issues as the Motorola Droid 3, however. It would easily lock on to a subject, but would still take so long to take the shot that any sort of hand shake would be visible later.

Colors were slightly muted, but didn't suffer any of the blue tinting the Droid 3 has.

The 720P video capture again was okay, but no where near what I would consider appropriate for anything semi-professional. This is a device for recording snippets of your cats doing something interesting. It's perfectly fine in this respect, but expecting anything more from the video portion of the Photon 4G will leave you disappointed.

PERFORMANCE
Outside of the hiccups due to the default Motorola UI, the device was very snappy. Replacing the default launcher made the device even more responsive.

Quadrant: 2350
Smartbench 2011: Productivity 2811, 2585 Games
LinPack Single thread: 38.245 MFLOP, 2.19 Seconds
LinPack Multi-thread: 66.719 MFLOP, 2.53 Seconds

CALL QUALITY/NETWORK SPEED
There were no complaints regarding the call quality on the Photon 4G. No calls were dropped and if I had any signal at all, the calls would go through. Seeing as the GSM portion of the device isn't compatible with US networks, we were unable to fully test this functionality.

3G speeds averaged 500Kbps up and 650Kbps down (peaking at 1200Kbps) which is on par with Sprint. 4G speeds reached as high as 12000Kbps down and 1600Kbps up, when we could get access to the spotty 4G WiMax service. For the most part, I left 4G service disabled, primarily because the hand-off from 4G to 3G on Sprint devices is horrible.

BATTERY LIFE
Battery life on the Photon 4G is fantastic. Like the Droid 3, without my heavy usage pattern, I would consistently see two-plus days of power before the device popped up a low battery warning. While other devices typically feature the screen very high on the battery usage scale, the display in this case is often listed very low on that scale - the power of PenTile, it seems. Most users would easily give up the color accuracy and deal with pixels if it means their device could last even one whole day, let alone two. Even as I write this review, the Photon 4G has been up for 1 day, 2 hours and 27 minutes - with 70% battery remaining.

PURCHASING AND AVAILABILITY
The Motorola Photon 4G can be purchased, with a two-year contract, for $199 from Sprint.

PROS

+ PenTile display in bright sunlight
+ Battery life is outstanding
+ World phone

CONS

- PenTile display ghosting and color accuracy
- Camera focus and capture issues in low light
- Sluggish default UI

CONCLUSION
The battle is hard fought, and it is far from over. But in the case of the Motorola Photon 4G, it certainly is quite the performer, especially when you start tweaking the system to be more efficient. Considering the camera is average, and the Pentile qHD display does have it's own issues, the Photon 4G is weighed down (literally) by some inadequacies. But, if you need a solid world phone for your day-to-day work, then the Photon 4G may be just what you are looking for.

We rate the Motorola Photon 4G a 3.5/5.

Motorola Edison MB865 At FCC En-Route To AT&T Sans LTE

You are in an Android Post

We wondered whether the Motorola MB865 could be AT&T's first LTE-enabled phone back at the beginning of August and then, more recently and seemingly completely unrelated, the Motorola Edison was tipped by code from the Webtop.

From an FCC filing we learn that the MB865 and the Edison are one and the same device. The Edison is reportedly the Atrix refresh, with probably a larger resolution screen. What's more interesting though is that the FCC filing doesn't mention LTE compatibility at all. While there's still time to submit a related sample with an updated LTE radio, chances are that the Edison, as seen in the filing, will not be LTE compatible.

Verizon Motorola Droid X Getting 4.5.605 Keyboard Fix Update

You are in an Android Post

The last time the Verizon Motorola Droid X got an update it was version 4.5.602 back in August and it brought a cornucopia of fixes and improvements to the table. One issue still remained though: the keyboard bug.

According to rumors, Verizon is preparing to roll-out an update on September 19. It will be version 4.5.605 and its sole purpose will be to "resolve keyboard stability and usability issues in order to optimize performance during text entry". The update, even though it's only fixing a single issue, weighs 113MB and, according to those who had the pleasure of testing it, will fix the bug alright but will unfortunately introduce new ones. Let's wait it out and see if it's just an isolated issue or a general one (in which case we hope Verizon and Motorola sort it out before the roll-out process, even if it's delayed a bit).
