The Bionic Droid ($ 299) is the most powerful Android phone you can buy today, and it is our editors choice "for touch screen phones with Verizon Wireless. If you are looking for Internet access High speed, high-end applications, and unique features, which is the phone. Yes, of course, something better always comes around the corner. But for now, nothing is dual core, LTE's power and transforms Droid Bionic on a laptop or desktop PC.Physical and voice calls
Beautiful and well built, the Motorola Droid Bionic is great to 2.6 by 5 by 0.4 inches (DRC) and 5.6 oz. It is solid and not too thick, with a glass front and back gorilla bright soft touch. Like other phones with 4.3-inch screen is a pocket-buster, but no more than its competitors Verizon HTC Ray ($ 249, 4 stars).
The 960-by-540 4.3-inch LCD screen PenTile is a bit depressing. The arrangement of the pixels is subtly colored lines look blurred. Samsung Droid Charge is ($ 299, 4 stars) 800-by-480 Super AMOLED screen looks sharper and brighter with more saturated colors and blacker blacks. This should not be a deal-breaker, but when you use the Droid Bionic, blur does bother me when I consciously thought about.
The Bionic Droid is a CDMA phone with EVDO LTE. This is not a phone, but works in a dozen countries including some in South Korea, China and India, where CDMA networks. Bionics is a telephone voice better putting, because dramatically underreporting of receipt. Signal level when the load Droid showed three bars, two or Bionic sample. When the load was a bar, showed no Bionic. By the same token, the mind is only the bar display is calibrated differently.
Voice quality is good in my tests. Earpiece volume is average and shows some distortion of loud sounds, a nice amount of side-tone. Noise reduction of outgoing calls is excellent, with almost no background noise that comes through at the other end. The speaker is extremely strong, if slender, transmissions on the other side is also high, but muddy. The handset had no trouble connecting several different Bluetooth headsets, and I could easily trigger voice dialing for Bluetooth. The phone was more likely to recognize the names of numbers when dialing, however.
Bionic Droid is a better life than the previous battery LTE phones like the HTC Thunderbolt, just because it has a large 1735mAh battery. I had three hours of continuous streaming Bionic LTE, compared to 2.5 hours of Thunderbolt of 1400 mAh. I had to wait about 12-14 hours of heavy use, again by about 15 percent better than the Thunderbolt. These phones are not power-sippers. Battery life can be much better if you release the 3G to use the Free Application for LTE off, though. I was able to squeeze an impressive 10 hours, 35 minutes of talk time on 3G, one of the best results we've never seen a CDMA phone.
Internet
LTE enables fast download of Web pages and other Internet-based applications much faster than 3G. Verizon already covers 160 million Americans with LTE, and announces new cities every month. In my test, it loads pages more than twice as fast with the LTE. Video streaming Netflix movies buffered much faster, and play YouTube videos in high quality mode much easier.
Bionics can use as an access point Wi-Fi for up to five devices, and was able to achieve excellent speeds from 3Mbps up to 15Mbps 7-and 2-up. You can multitask phone calls over 3G and 4G data access, but I was very disappointed that, unlike the HTC Ray, can not run simultaneous voice and data over 3G networks. This makes the Droid Bionic less convincing as a beam for 3G users only.
The return of the glorious light LTE is that it becomes too easy to bust through Verizon capped data plans. In just three days of testing with 30 minutes of Netflix, three hours of streaming audio, e-mail account a few app downloads, and some web browsing I ripped to 600 MB. Unless you are willing to act LTE for Wi-Fi in most cases, you should look into Verizon's 5GB, $ 50 data plan instead of its level of $ 30, bucket 2 GB
