Motorola Droid 3 confirmed to have a 4-inch screen, dual-core processor and 8-megapixel camera

We know the Motorola Droid 3 will be launched at some point this year. And while we don’t have all the details, we do have some preliminary information which sounds promising to say the least. Thanks to the TechnoBuffalo guys, some of the earlier information we got are now almost confirmed — that’s “almost” until we get the official press release.

Here’s what we know thus far about the Droid 3 – it will rock:

  • 8-megapixel camera on the back
  • 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera (for video calls)
  • Dual-core processor – NVIDIA Tegra 2 or TI’s OMAP4430
  • 4-inch qHD (540×960 pixels) touchscreen
  • 5-row keyboard with dedicated row for numbers
  • No LTE

Aside from the lack of LTE connectivity support, the Droid 3 may easily emerge as the best Android device with QWERTY keyboard. Needless to say – I want one! :)

     Blur or stock? If it’s not 4G I won’t tolerate blur.

    I live in Seattle and also maintain a home in Las Vegas. Both locations have Verizon 4G. Droid 3 sounds perfect for me EXCEPT no 4G, so no deal. Also, I hear AT & T’s upcoming LTE will have some horsepower, perhaps close to or greater than Verizon. I’m going to wait for awhile before jumping on a new phone. My D1 is just fine for now.

    So it has the worst elements of the Droid 1/2 (keyboard) and Droid X (8mp camera that takes shitty pictures)?  Oh joy.

    I own a Droid X and love it, however my OLD Blackberry Tour’s 3mp camera took better pictures than my Droid X.

    Locked/encrypted bootloader. MotoBlur (or whatever they call it these days). No LTE.

    PASS.
