On the same month in which Apple launch the much awaited iPhone 4, Motorola held a press conference to officially announce the launching of their newest product Droid X. This is Motorola’s latest product that is expected to be the toughest competitor of Apple’s iPhone 4. Will Droid X outshine the newly released iPhone 4? This question is still to be answered. This will surely be an exciting battle between the two flagship models of their respective companies.

If you have plans of buying one and still undecided unto which model between Droid X and iPhone 4 to purchase in the future, the following comparison between Droid X and iPhone 4 might help.


First in line is its processor, both Droid X and iPhone 4 runs on a 1GHz processor.

Second, when it comes to storage, Droid X has the edge over iPhone 4 because of its 8GB onboard memory plus a 16GB microSD card. It can support microSD card up to 32GB and even extendable up to 40GB. The iPhone’s storage capacity is limited only to 16 GB.

Third, when it comes to portability, Apple iPhone 4 has the advantage over Droid X with its 2.3 inches wide and 0.37 inches thick at a weight of only 4.8 oz.

Fourth, talking about connectivity, Droid X’s ability to act as hotspot for up to 5 WIFI devices and having a HDMI output port makes it a winner as compared with the iPhone 4 which doesn’t have this feature.

Next is battery life, Droid X has a slight edge because of its battery being removable ,also talk time is 8 hrs for Droid X while iPhone has 7 hrs talk time. However, when it comes to standby time, iPhone has 300 hrs while Droid X is just 220 hrs.

When it comes to camera, Droid X is said to be the winner because of its 8MP resolution as compared to Apple’s 5 MP. It has also a dual LED flash and a real shutter button. But when it comes to videoconferencing iPhone 4 wins because of its front-facing camera that is very good for video calls. With this we can say that it’s a tie between the two because both have a distinctive feature.

And last but not the least is with regards to display and resolution capacity. Motorola has a 4.3 inch screen which is definitely larger than iPhone 4’s 3.5 inch screen. But because of iPhone 4 having more pixels per inch in its Retina display, we can say that iPhone 4 wins in this category.

Whether iPhone 4 or Droid X wins this battle doesn’t really matter. What matters most is that the consumers who intend to buy these products will be satisfied and happy with their choice. Because of this competition between Apple and Motorola consumers have the assurance that they will always come up with a great product.

So, these aren't exactly the most similar phones ever. The Droid X has Android, a high res 4.3-inch screen, Verizon, and a hump in back. The iPhone 4 has iOS, a higher res 3.5-inch screen, and some of the slimmest smartphone dimensions ever. Sure, they're both flagship handsets for their respective teams, but we'd really rather live in a world where Droid X and iPhone 4 hang out after work for drinks than one where they stab each other in their silicon hearts. Sure, there'd be a bit of banter, but isn't there always between friends? Technology Blogs
