Motorola Droid X Vs Apple iPhone 4

Posted on USA News Week Blog by Andrew on July 15th, 2010

Verizon Motorola Droid X is here. It is understandable that Droid X is finding it ifficult to beat Apple iPhone 4 as far as first three day sales are concerned, but the smartphone has the potential to compete with Apple iPhone 4, no doubt.


Droid X is powered by Google’s hugely popular- the Android and just like iPhone 4, it has multiple features. The iPhone 4, the fourth generation iPhone, was launched by Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs on June 7 and it went on sale on June 24. Lets do a Droid X vs iPhone 4 analysis.



Apple iPhone 4

The iPhone 4 defied all expectations in terms of sales as 1.7 million units were sold in just three days. The smartphone has a 3.5 inch screen but the display quality is very good. It has higher resolution (960 by 640) and better contrast ratio (800:1). The phone comes loaded with A4 chip, that makes the multimedia experience on this device simply amazing.

The A4 chip makes usage of innovative apps such as the iMovie video editing software, iBooks, iAds, gyroscope, FaceTime, advanced Mail app, folders, wallpapers, gaming and multitasking, quite easy. The ihone 4 runs on Apple’s own OS- the iOS 4. It has two cameras, one in front and one in rear. The front camera is for video calling.

The smartphone is bigger in size than iPhone 4 and it is so because the device boasts of a big 4.3’ widescreen display with a 854 by 480 screen. The Android-powered device has relatively larger batter back up than iPhone 4. It comes loaded with an 8MP primary camera with autofocus and a dual LED flash. The Droid X offers 8GB internal memory and a 16GB microSD card preinstall. The Droid X also comes equipped with Motoblur, Motorola’s in-house application for social networking activities.


To conclude, we can say that both devices have strengths and some weaknesses. Many iPhone 4 users are facing serious reception issues and it is likely that the Droid X users might find it tough to carry the bulky smartphone. Only time will tell, which among the two will race ahead but at this point of time, Apple’s device is clearly ahead of the Droid X.
