Verizon Motorola DROID BIONIC Released

After announced back in January, the DROID BIONIC has been back to Motorola’s lab for a redesign and hardware enhancement. Now, the phone is released and is available from Verizon Wireless for $299.99 with a new two-year customer agreement. The Android smartphone supports Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE mobile network.

The DROID BIONIC is powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM and runs Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread OS. It sports a 4.3-inch qHD touchscreen with scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass with dual-layer anti-reflective coating, a 8 Megapixel auto focus camera with flash and 1080p video recording, a front-facing camera for video chat, HDMI output, Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity.

Like the Atrix 4G, the new BIONIC includes the Webtop application, allowing it to beam a full-featured Firefox Web browser 4.0, email or documents to a TV or monitor, like the separately purchased Lapdock with a 11.6″ screen, keyboard and integrated trackpad.

Will the Motorola DROID Bionic have an OMAP processor under the hood rather than Tegra 2?

Recently we told you about about some specs for the Motorola DROID 3 gleaned from the NenaMark benchmark web site. On Saturday, the same site had some specs for the Motorola DROID Bionic. Regardless if this model is the Motorola Targa instead of the Etna, the DROID Bionic will have the PowerVR SGX 540 GPU on board, similar to the DROID 3. And that GPU seems to come only with a Texas Instruments OMAP 4 processor. If you are keeping a scorecard, you can scratch out the Tegra 2 and replace it with a dual-core 1GHz TI OMAP 4.

Also, according to the NenaMark site, the Motorola DROID Bionic will ship with Android 2.3.3 installed, which is an improvement from Froyo, but also means no Google Talk out of the box. While all reports say the device will come with a 4.3 inch screen, according to the benchmark site, the resolution will be qHD.

If there is one troubling aspect to NenaMark's benchmarking of the DROID Bionic, it is that it scored 24 on a benchmark test compared to a 45.70 score for the Motorola DROID 3. But it is still very early days for the former. Motorola has not officially confirmed that the DROID Bionic will be the Targa and there still is a lot of tweaking and fine tuning to do before the phone even gets introduced.
