Knowing Motorola Droid Bionic

But it was the Web browser where the 4G LTE speed boost was evident. Motorola packed the browser with HTML5 support and full Adobe Flash support. With most handsets, this can result in slow page loading on Flash-heavy Web sites, but not so with the Droid Bionic. We loaded up our full CNET.com page in an average of 13 seconds, with all the Flash and Java ads as well. We were actually able to play Flash videos directly in the browser, with absolutely zero buffering time. We also managed to scroll through Web pages and switch between different tabs without any lag or hesitation. In short, the marriage between the dual-core processor and 4G LTE is a very good one indeed.

Other connectivity options include Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth. You can also use the Droid Bionic as a mobile hot spot for up to five devices with the activation of a Mobile Broadband plan. Other features include a speakerphone, speed dial, voice commands, conference calling, Skype Mobile, and text and multimedia messaging.
We have to admit that the Bionic's final design was a huge surprise to us. The Droid Bionic we saw at CES 2011 was wide, bulky, and thick. Indeed, the original January prototype was probably more similar to the Photon 4G. Measuring 5 inches long by 2.63 inches wide by 0.43 inch thick, the actual Droid Bionic isn't exactly a tiny handset, either, but it's certainly much slimmer. As we mentioned earlier, Verizon claims that it is the thinnest LTE handset in its lineup.
Not only is it thinner, the final iteration of the Droid Bionic is also much more attractive. The glass on the display goes from edge to edge with a slight curve at the sides that results in a smooth and sleek appearance. The metallic housing and understated chin add to the phone's polished look. The back is clad in a soft-touch finish with beveled edges. Fans of the Droid series of handsets will recognize the Droid's familiar bump at the top, which adds a touch more bulk, but not much. Indeed, we actually like it, as it provides a little more grip when holding the phone. The Droid Bionic weighs in at 5.6 ounces, which we think is decent considering its size.
The Motorola Droid Bionic has a nice slim and sleek design, with a 4.3-inch qHD display and the double whammy of a dual-core processor and Verizon 4G LTE support. Multimedia features are plentiful, and business users will be pleased with its enterprise abilities like the Webtop application and solid security. We were also pleased with its long battery life.
