Like the recently launched EVO 4G, Droid X features a 4.3" display that is considerably larger than iPhone 4's 3.5" display. However, despite its larger size, the Droid X display features 854 x 480 pixels resolution, as compared to iPhone 4's 960 x 640 pixels. In other words, Droid X's pixel density falls well short of Apple's Retina Display.

Droid X features an 8 megapixel camera with twin LED flash. You can capture 720p HD video and share it with friends using an optional HDMI cable or Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) connectivity.

DROID X utilizes high performance diversity antennas along with innovative software to improve signal strength and reduce dropped calls.

It can function as a 3G mobile hotspot allowing you to share your 3G data connection with upto five other Wi-Fi enabled devices. However, the add on option comes at a cost - $20 per month.

A new version of Motorola Blur serves as the interface, and is reported to be a distinct improvement over the earlier version.

Data entry defaults to Swype, which allows you to type without lifting your finger, but there is a multi-touch keyboard like in the iPAD.

DROID X users will receive Android 2.2 and Adobe Flash Player via an over-the-air upgrade late summer.
