Droid 4 and Droid Xyboard Unboxing and Review

2012-02-13
hey guys we'll hear from the authority and today we're going to be doing a two-in-one review and unboxing we're going to be reviewing the droids are droid 4 and giving a little unboxing and see what's inside of these two magnificent boxes so it's a let's get started now i'm going to start the mission off of the droid xyboard this is basically Motorola's new way to compete with the new tablets out right now even though this is competing against such tablets as the transform Prime and the new lenovo tablets it's it's pretty much it's a it's a competitor I'm not going to say it's one of the best right now but it's definitely it's a cool tablet let's get right into it it's um has this over casing slides out of the box presenter with this inside it's really nothing new you got your manuals which is basically it's in Spanish too okay just start manuals and you're also introduced with a charter here it's actually an AC wall charger they're really getting to the way of a seawall turns with tablets now I like it because it's more of efficient way to charge your tablet they also give you a USB to microUSB cable so that you're allowed to you know done for computer use if you don't want to use model casting and stuff like that and then they include this stylus pen and this is only a you can I don't really want to take out the packaging because I do have to send this back but it does come with a triple a battery see if we can focus in triple a battery and it's a stylus pen and this is only available in box for the droid xyboard 10.1 not the 8.2 now to motorola's new tablet their king of all tablets right now so some main features on this it features a texas instruments omap 4430 processors if this is the the same processor that you will see in a droid razr and the droid for which you will later see in this video it also comes with one gigabyte of ddr2 ram memory and some major features are it has a 5-megapixel front rear facing camera and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera to Honeycomb uh it's definitely gonna County comb but always morale has to have their little stupid flair to it and I have my motorola look on the bottom I really don't why is that needed why and they just screw it up all of this really looks like ice cream tangled a little bit when you kind of yeah it's iffy now I'm going to show you some of the apps that are that are on the device got a lot of bloatware amazon kindle which is pretty useful to verizon apps really isn't needed but you know it's verizon like to add their own thing men NFL which is removable I believe let's golf to is removable as well and you've got some social networking things the one major thing is moto cast of course music from your computer stream and Netflix i'll show you netflix a lot of people love netflix on their mobile device we're waiting forever for this on an android tablets and phones but we finally got it malaysian toy story yes Toy Story is a great kids movie it's also cool this is the part when he's trying if you haven't seen it I'm sorry this is the part when he's trying to save his friends and be in the garbage truck all right yeah but anyway you can see it's really clear it's it's pretty cool the one thing on the netflix app that was really laggy so let me show you it's sometimes am i moving now you know like it is that's not just a video that's the I'm slag and I'll show you web browsing whoa we'll go to android authority calm there is the best new site in the world right there for Android it slowed in the mobile site will make it load the full site know people love to see this is right on Wi-Fi by the way this is not so but this is not 4g LTE and you can see it loads it up not fully loaded yet as quite a few topics and it runs pretty smoothly i think the rendering though is really laggy like if we were to only god what's going on whoa Oh see how slow that rendering is yeah that's what I'm talking about right there word of course the lag is a big thing and yeah the software runs pretty smoothly on this I really just think the amount of bloatware is pretty unbelievable so we're going to round things up here on the droid xyboard 10.1 it is different from the 8.2 in the eight-point tune is known as a media model which I guess it's probably called that because of its portability I really don't see the differences the only major differences are of course the screen size and the battery this features a 7,000 milliamp hour battery which is massive and of course the tablet so it can it can fit that the 8.2 has like a almost 4,000 milliamp hour i think this tablet can get up to or 10 hours of web browsing so of course android authority for 10 hours straight it's a lot of articles so it would take around 10 articles to read all the words and watch the videos i think it could fulfill your needs there is three models for this right now there is a 16 gigabyte there's a 32 gigabyte and is a 64 view bite the 16 gigabyte in turn this is we're talking internal storage right now this has no SD card expansion the 16 gigabyte runs for 529 99 ok the 32 gigabyte runs for sixty to ninety six hundred twenty nine dollars and ninety-nine cents and then the 64 gigabyte runs for seven hundred and twenty nine dollars and ninety-nine cents getting really hefty I mean this is a tablet and you're almost paying full costs for a phone at that point when you think about it but yeah the one thing the things I love about this device is definitely the durability of it it feels a strong tablet it doesn't feel like it can bend in one hand motion it look at this that's rubber on the baths is more of a metal type feel this is more of a rubber at the top but anyway the durability is great and I think that this tablet is great for the average user and how does this compare up to the the Asus Transformer Prime you know that's that's your take on it I do think this tablet is cool because the accessories that you can get on it there's the HD dock the cases the wireless keyboard stuff like that alright the protective portfolio is one big accessory as well this is will from android authority xyboard 10.1 only here and next is the droid for review and unboxing stay tuned alright so we are now looking at the droid for part of this review it's an unboxing review of the motorola droid 4 we're at the bat you can see that is the same styling box of the droid to android 3 a little flack right here that comes right up um so this is what we've got we've got a micro USB to USB adapter for your computer we have the the AC adapter so that plugs into the USB side which is different from the xyboard remember we showed you the AC adapter which is much different this is cool you might be able to see it right there see that it's a little key that actually goes right in that top hole right there two unreleased this casing that accesses the SD card now even though the battery is not removable it's still like it shows it but it's just not you know you don't think it's just not removable but that's where you access the SD card and then finally on every single device is manuals master your device you'll be probably mastering your vice in this review will boot up the device for you here has the same processor as it would on the design board their razor it is a texas instruments omap 4430 processor one point two gigahertz dual-core it also has one gig of ram it has an eight megapixel camera with a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera when you scroll in the device there is definitely a significant lag you can see it there and you can see really closely let's try to get it even closer you can see you like a black shade you see that always wore as the voicemail so I'll go back look at that voicemail see that black shade that goes across that's a big issue they should address that that's this motorola plane around the software's yeah that's the one big thing that I found terrible on this phone right when I open it up I kind of find it disappointing um honestly this will probably be able to upgrade Ice Cream Sandwich we're not exactly sure yet but it's most likely to upgrade and we're going to go to the applications and see what this thing has it's got you know the Amazon Kindle just everything the device set up a guided tour is some social networking apps it's about the Moto active all the bloatware on here I think that they could have cut down the verizon apps and that would relieve some of its you know the duties of the phone but it's pretty responsive except for that that little lag and shaded black when you scroll I'm going to demonstrate some netflix for you guys we're going to watch some top gear just for a few seconds it's a it's pretty it's it's no right quality i think the cyborg definitely is a better quality when it comes to the picture it's more HD this is it's alright i guess i'll show you pretty clear hi guys this is like a TV show too I was oh great so that demonstrate some netflix for you now when i go to the web browser note that i am using Wi-Fi and not the verizon's 4g signal so we're going to go to android authority com see how fast this loads up alright now we're going to load it it's just about there of course it's still loading because there's a few articles in the page but it loads it up pretty quick the scrolling is pretty decent on it there's a bit of a lag and the rendering the rendering actually isn't that bad it's not as bad as it wasn't as I bored xyboard is actually pretty lucky but yeah the when you zoom in the pictures are are pretty crisp the text you it's definitely it's clear it's readable and it's a nice device when it comes to web browsing now i really never gotten to the keyboard of the phone it's a 500 keyboard and each key is independent on its own little platform i should say on most keyboards they're they're usually there's separate buttons but their own like a layer that connects all of them so let me turn the sensor off this is lay that connects all of them so like each key feels like it's on a keyboard beats a lot of the keyboard phones are right now talk time is up to 12.5 hours and the battery is a 700 1785 milliamp hour battery that's not bad for this phone I think they could have done a little better and seeing that we just got introduced to the razr maxx which is insanely good on battery life offers a qHD display which is pretty easy to read text always remember that this is offering an SD card compatibility which these I board doesn't have which we reviewed earlier so this is basically the droid 4 it's the motorolas new keyboard phone backlit keyboard nice display very tet responsive just update this thing ice cream sandwich without any lag of the transitions and we will be all good this is he droid 4 and we just did a droid xyboard review earlier my name is will from the android a third this is a two in one review of some of the hottest Motorola devices on the market thanks guys stay tuned for mobile world congress at the end of februari thanks
