Appearance comparison: the thinnest Android phone in the world

Do you remember? What is the first function of iPhone 4 that Jobs introduced to users around the world at WWDC 10? Thin? . Yes, the iPhone 4, which is already on the market, has a body thickness of only 9.3mm, making it the thinnest smartphone in the world.

▲ Thickness comparison of ▲iPhone 4 (left), Motorola Droid X(ME8 1 1) (middle) and Nokia X6 (right).

In the field of Android, Motorola Droid X(ME8 1 1) also holds the record of the thinnest mobile phone, with a body thickness of only 9.9mm, which is the thinnest Android full touch-screen mobile phone at present. However, it should be noted that the lens area of Droid X(ME8 1 1) protrudes outward, and the thickness of this position must exceed 9.9mm:)

In the case of using the side slide cover, although the body thickness of the Motorola Droid has increased to 13.7mm, it is still an ultra-thin work compared with the same type of smart phones, which is obviously inferior to Google G 1 (17. 1 mm) and Nokia N900 (/kloc-0). ......

Many male users around have bought Motorola Droid, and the tough shape design is one of the main reasons for taking a fancy to this machine. In contrast, the Motorola Droid X(ME8 1 1) also continues this kind of? Pure men? Stylistically, based on the color matching of the black body, its three-dimensional size reaches 65.5 x 127.5 x 9.9 mm, which is wider than Droid (60.00 x15.80 x13.70 mm). If you are satisfied with the huge body of the latter? Fear? If this is the case, we will basically bid farewell to Droid X (ME8 1 1) ... Of course, the weight of Droid X(ME8 1 1) has also been reduced from the previous 169g due to the adoption of the straight shape.

Comparison of Operating Systems: MOTOBLUR+ Telecom Customization Service

Although it is known as the world's first Android 2.0 mobile phone, Motorola droid quietly upgraded its system platform to Android 2. 1 when the mainland licensed XT702 was born. At present, three versions of Droid, Milestone and XT702 have successfully transitioned to Android 2. 1 platform. Motorola Droid X(ME8 1 1), as an upgraded version of Droid, has been upgraded to the latest version of Android 2.2 (Froyo), and the running speed of programs under Android 2.2 system is 2-5 times higher than in the past.

Front detail change: second generation Li Yin technology+three microphones for noise reduction.

Motorola Droid has four function keys at the bottom of the screen: Back, Menu, Home and Search, all of which are operated by touch. In contrast, Motorola Droid X(ME8 1 1) also designed the above four buttons, but their mutual positions changed slightly and changed into physical buttons. Although the touch keys of Droid are much easier to use than those of Nexus One (the Nexus One has a wrong operation problem), the physical keys are obviously better in actual operation. Is it reliable? Some.

At the top of the screen, the handset of Motorola Droid is designed in a long strip shape, combined with the second-generation CrystalTalk technology to ensure the quality of mobile phone calls. The handset length of Motorola Droid X(ME8 1 1) is much shorter, and there is something that looks like a button on each side. Although I can't confirm the real identities of these two guys at present, according to informed sources, the machine has three built-in microphones, one more than the iPhone, and its function is to eliminate noise and improve call quality.

I read a report about the comparison of call quality between Motorola Droid X(ME8 1 1) and iPhone 4. Testers said that the call volume of Droid X(ME8 1 1) was loud enough, but the sound quality was not as good as that of iPhone 4, which was a bit harsh. However, the test of sound quality is related to many factors, such as region, network, weather and so on, and it is difficult to generalize only by one experience.

▲ The picture shows the Qwerty keyboard of Motorola Droid.

Because the Motorola Droid X(ME8 1 1) adopts a straight shape, compared with the Droid, the machine lacks a full Qwerty keyboard, which will be somewhat unsuitable for users who like horizontal operation and physical keyboard. However, it should be noted that Droid X(ME8 1 1) is positioned in the full touch-screen smartphone market, and its competitors include HTC EVO 4G, Sony Ericsson X 10, and of course, the cross-platform Apple iPhone 4.

Comparison of fuselage periphery: Droid X (me 811) (me 811) supports HDMI output.

Although the slim body of 9.9mm is enough to cover up most design defects, the Motorola Droid X(me8 1 1) is equipped with a fairly comprehensive key interface around the body. On the left side of the fuselage, the machine is equipped with MicroUSB interface and HDMI interface respectively. The latter is an HDMI D-port similar to Motorola XT800 and HTC EVO 4G, which can output high-definition video to large display devices.

▲ The picture shows the comparison between the Motorola Droid X(me8 1 1) (left) and the left side of the Droid fuselage.

In contrast, Motorola Droid only designed a microUSB interface on the left side of the fuselage, which can be used for data transmission and charging. It should be pointed out that the above interfaces of the two mobile phones have no dust cover design, and it is inevitable that dust will enter after long-term use.

Both phones are equipped with a volume adjustment button and a photo shutter button on the right side of the fuselage. However, due to the thin body of the Droid X(me8 1 1), the buttons on it are all designed with thin strips, which makes the operation feel slightly inferior. By the way, the camera keys of Droid X(me8 1 1) and Droid are red and gold respectively, which reflects the fashion and personalization.

▲ The picture shows the comparison between the Motorola Droid X(me8 1 1) (left) and the top of the Droid fuselage.

As for the top of the fuselage, both the Motorola Droid X(me8 1 1) and the Droid are equipped with a power button/screen lock and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The difference is that we found a second microphone hole next to the headphone hole of the Droid X(me8 1 1). At the bottom of the fuselage, there is also a telephone lanyard hole in the lower left corner of Droid X(me8 1 1), and a third microphone hole appears near the bottom of the back shell, which realizes the three-microphone noise reduction technology.

Screen contrast: The 4.3-inch WVGA screen reaches the top level.

At the beginning, the 3.7-inch WVGA resolution (480x854 pixels) high-definition LCD screen assembled by Motorola Droid was luxurious, and its excellent display effect could kill the iPhone 3GS(3.5-inch 320x480 pixels). Today, Droid X(ME8 1 1) not only continues the display level of WVGA (480 x 854 pixels), but also increases the screen size to 4.3 inches (the maximum size of traditional mobile phones at present), reaching the top level of Android mobile phones at present.

Moreover, Motorola's Droid X(ME8 1 1) also supports capacitive touch operation, and the most proud multi-touch technology in iPhone continues to be used in the Droid series. Whether browsing the web or viewing pictures, you can easily zoom with two fingers. Objectively speaking, the screen specification of Droid X(ME8 1 1) is hard to match in Android phones, but if it faces the early iPhone 4(960x640 pixels, 326ppi), Motorola can only give up.

Camera contrast: 8 megapixels +720P video recording upgrade

At present, the highest specification of Android mobile phone camera is 8 million pixels. Motorola Droid X(ME8 1 1) has reached the highest level, although it has not broken through. From the photos of the real machine, we can clearly see that the machine has a built-in 8 megapixel camera, supports autofocus, and is equipped with dual LED flash, digital zoom and photo geo-marking. As the biggest selling point of the camera in the video link, Droid X(ME8 1 1) also provides (720P)30fps HD video recording function, which is at the same level as iPhone 4.

▲ The picture shows the comparison between the Motorola Droid X(ME8 1 1) (left) and the Droid camera.

Incidentally, the battery back covers of Motorola Droid X(ME8 1 1) and Droid are made of metal, and the surfaces are covered with plastic anti-slip coating, which makes them very comfortable to hold. In addition, the independent speaker (ME8 1 1) of the Droid X is much smaller than that of the Droid X. Whether the external volume has been weakened remains to be further confirmed.

Core hardware comparison: 1.2GHz CPU+8GB memory.

Due to the early launch time, Motorola only equipped the Droid with a processor with a clock frequency of 550MHz, and also equipped it with a memory combination of 5 12MB ROM and 256MB RAM. Although the running speed of the system is not slow, it is still a little slow compared with several mobile phones with main frequency 1GHz, such as X 10 and Nexus One.

As people hoped, Motorola Droid X (ME 811) finally raised the CPU frequency to 1.2GHz, and it is reported that the machine has built-in1.2 GHz ArmV7 (Tiomap).

Motorola droid x (me 811) (me 811) comes standard with 16GB MicroSD memory card, but it does not support hot plugging.

On the network side, Motorola Droid X (ME 8 1 1) is customized for China Telecom, so it only provides support for CDMA EVDO network and WLAN wireless LAN functions, while technologies such as USB2.0 and stereo Bluetooth are also available.

endurance

The power consumption of the 4.3-inch LCD screen can be imagined, so Motorola equipped the Droid X with a lithium battery (ME8 1 1) with a capacity of 1540mAh, with a standby time of 220 hours and a continuous talk time of 480 minutes. In contrast, although the standard battery capacity of Droid is only 1400mAh, the standby time can reach 270 hours. It seems that Droid X(ME8 1 1) still consumes a lot of power ~

Full text summary: fearless, enjoy the ultra-thin beast.

Motorola Droid X(ME8 1 1) is a very big Android phone. Even the ultra-thin body of 9.9mm can't hide its huge figure, so if you are a user who has a high demand for mobile phone portability, then this mobile phone is likely to miss you. Of course, as the saying goes, there are gains and losses. Droid X(ME8 1 1) is equipped with powerful functions, especially the 4.3-inch LCD screen, HDMI interface and 1GHz processor, which makes it a smart banner that challenges everything.
