The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is rumored to launch on the 8th of December, and now it would appear that Verizon may be launching another Android device on the same day, the new Motorola Droid 4.
We have already seen a leaked photo and some specifications on the yet to be announced Motorola Droid 4, and the device has previously turned up in Verizon’s inventory, and it looks like it may hit Verizon on the 8th of December.
The news comes from the guys over at Droid Life, who previously brought us the photo and the specifications on the Droid 4, which include a 4 inch Super AMOLED Advanced touchscreen display and a full 5 row illuminated slide out QWERTY keyboard.
Motorola Droid 4 Specifications
Other rumored specifications include Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, 4G LTE, a front facing camera for video chat and a rear facing 8 megapixel camera which will be able to record full high definition video in 1080p. The device is also expected to feature a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via a microSD card slot. Additionally, the Droid 4 is anticipated to have a robust battery life, thanks to its 1785 mAh battery, which should provide ample usage time for both casual and power users.
Comparison with Samsung Galaxy Nexus
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which is also rumored to launch on the same day, is expected to be a significant competitor to the Droid 4. The Galaxy Nexus will be one of the first devices to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, offering a more modern and refined user experience compared to the Droid 4’s Gingerbread. It will feature a 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 5-megapixel rear camera capable of recording 1080p video. The Galaxy Nexus will also support 4G LTE, making it a direct rival to the Droid 4 in terms of network capabilities.
As soon as we get some confirmation that the Motorola Droid 4 will be launching on the 8th of December we will let you guys know, although we do wonder if Verizon will launch the Droid 4 on the same day that they are rumored to be launching the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus. This potential dual launch could be a strategic move by Verizon to capture a larger market share by offering two distinct devices catering to different user preferences—one with a physical keyboard and another with a cutting-edge touchscreen experience.
The rumored launch of both the Motorola Droid 4 and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on the 8th of December is generating significant excitement among Android enthusiasts. Each device brings its own unique set of features and specifications, catering to different segments of the market. Whether you prefer the tactile feedback of a physical keyboard or the sleek design of a touchscreen-only device, it looks like Verizon will have something to offer for everyone.
