hey everybody I'm Chris look over here checking out the droid ultra in New York while the smaller motorola droid mini is safely tucked into its own niche the droid ultra and the droid maxx are fighting it out to see who's going to be top dog and the way it looks right now they both got some fairly convincing arguments like the max the droid ultra has a 5-inch 720p screen and most of the hardware is the same but there are a few big differences actually make that small while the ultra and the max look very similar and share the same Kevlar build the ultra is both thinner and lighter at just 7.2 millimeters thick compared to the max at eight and a half millimeters thick as I said the rest of the hardware is nearly identical each phone in this new droid lineup has two gigs of ram 16 gigs of internal storage a 10 megapixel rear facing camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera the camera uses clear pixel technology allowing more unfiltered light to assist low-light photography the real day-to-day work in this phone is handled by the motorola x8 mobile computing system which uses two cores to handle general application tasks for cores for graphics one core for sensors or contextual computing and one for natural language processing while it is the thinnest and lightest this comes at a trade-off for battery life with the ultra only having a 2130 milliamp hour battery compared to the Max's 3,500 milliamp hour battery the ultra will run you 199 with the contract and like the other new droids is available for pre-order right now with the phone starting to ship on august twenty stay tuned to android authority for more news reviews and more
