Recently i had posted about Droid 2 leaking and Verizon launching the next generation of Droid on June 23rd.The guys at AndroidandMe compared the new Droid i.e Droid 2 to the classic variant i.e Droid X. Funnily enough,they didn’t find too much deviation from Motorola, describing the two handsets as “virtually identical,” with the major physical change being the replacement of the previous keyboard’s navigation pad with arrow buttons. The front end’s soft and volume buttons have also changed to Moto’s Blur options, but otherwise you’re still looking at a 3.7-incher with a 5 mega pixel image sensor.
The big improvement seems to have been under the hood with a new 1GHz TI OMAP3630 processor and 512MB of RAM (PowerVR SGX530 graphics unit remains the same) driving the Droid 2 to some robust benchmark scores. Of course, we don’t see the handset booted up in this hands-on video, so treat these specs and results as provisional until this Wednesday which should also clear up some confusion about the OS that Verizon and Motorola plan to ship with it.
