While Verizon subscribers with smartphones are relieved that they can keep their unlimited smartphone data, and our readers use creative techniques to get unlimited data in place before the usage-based switch by Verizon Wireless tomorrow, July 7, a newly leaked ad for the Droid Bionic shows some new features, making it worth waiting for the July 28 or August 4 release date.
We already suspected that HDMI mirroring and a dual-core processor is on the Droid X2. The ad also says, "pull files from your computer wirelessly and video chat with dual cameras" that are "coming soon."
The ad does not state if the screen size of the Droid Bionic has been enlarged to 4.5 inches, but it does look huge. We proved yesterday, in a bogus-pocus focus, that there is no proof that it will have Netflix HD.
FCC documents showed that the Droid Bionic is not going to be a world global smartphone.
Here's what we do know about the Droid Bionic:
- Viral social media buzz is greater for the Samsung Galaxy S II.
- Previous leaked photos showed the Droid Bionic to have an enhanced large 4.5" touchscreen,
Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, MotoBlur-style 3D home screen
carousel, connections to a laptop dock, possible GSM radio (for world
access), a 4.5" touchscreen and a 1750mAh battery. The entire translation
from Chinese is available on our Facebook page. - It may have an unlocked bootloader.
- Previously announced specs include HDMI-out 1080p connection, a front-facing VGA webcam
8MP camera, 512MB RAM, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth and GPS. - It was announced at CES in January, then in April, that it was delayed for remodeling.
