Verizon’s New York press event wrapped up with three new Motorola smartphones headed to the carrier. As expected, the trio includes the Motorola Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx, and Droid Mini. Each caters to a different demographic and features little touches that set them apart.
The three smartphones arrived on August 20 at the following prices:
- Droid Mini – $99 with two-year service agreement
- Droid Ultra – $199 with two-year service agreement
- Droid Maxx – $299 with two-year service agreement
The Droid Maxx is essentially a successor to the Droid Razr line and offers 48 hours of battery life per charge. With a slim profile of 8.5mm, it strikes that balance of thin and long-lasting.
As for the Droid Ultra, it provides a 10-megapixel rear camera, Kevlar coating, and a very thin profile. At only 7.18mm, it is the thinnest Droid to date.
All three new Motorola handsets are powered by the X8 Mobile Computing System, featuring 8 cores: two app processors, four graphics processors, one contextual computing processor, and a natural language processor.
Additional details for the new Droid line include a custom Motorola-flavored Android build, Quick Camera, and the ability to share photos or videos with anyone within 300 feet with a swipe.
