what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here with an unboxing of one of the most anticipated phones of 2011 this is the droid bionic for Verizon Wireless it is a carriers first 4g dual-core phone of course being powered by Android we first saw it debuted at CES 2011 in January since then it's been delayed and reimagined so let's go ahead and see if the droid bionic it's been worth the wait alright so the packaging looks very similar to the other droid lines of phone with the gray sleeve on top and that creepy i sort of peering through go ahead and pull off the sleeve here run through all the specs and all that goodness in just a minute there is the aforementioned creepy I droid x onic grey box gray box gray box alright let's go ahead and pull the top off and unboxing striptease style see just a little bit put it back if you want to see the whole thing is gonna be an extra twenty dollars you have to go in a different room just can alright so here is upside down the droid bionic let's go ahead and post guy to the box see what else we're going to get here and run through all the specs and that goodness 4g sim card this is LTE LTE the GSM based technologies so it's going to need a sim card to go ahead and see if they put it in here usually yep it is already in the phone um addition to see successor you can get a ton of other stuff can get laptop Doc's not kinds of other goodness we've got the port the plugs into the wall with the USB port on the side there is the cord is going to plug into it charge it via micro USB and a manual just about it so pretty standard not any headphones in there go ahead and push this stuff off to the side go ahead and peel off the plastic whoosh I left a piece behind get it off there we go all right I'm gonna go and power this sucker up and or up the specs because there's a lot of specs here to go through so hopefully it's got enough charge turned on maybe maybe it does looks like it might be dead that's too bad power on not very well for the better his life already just kidding alright so let me run through the sex with this guy and I'll power it on and come back and show you what it can do alright so we are looking at android 2.3 point for Gingerbread and so one of the latest build of Android with motorola's don't call me motoblur on here as well as I mentioned the first dual core phone that has sported LTE network on verizon wireless and that is one gigahertz on each core it's a TI omap processor and also has one gig of ram here so this guy's pretty much what a computer was a few years ago screen wise it's a 4.3 inch screen resolution of 540 x 960 that qualifies as qhd or quarter HD with corning gorilla glass so i put this in your pocket with your keys they're not going to scratch it up on the back 8 megapixel camera with autofocus LED flash of course that can shoot full 1080p HD video so I don't need to bring your camp coy with you when you go out and about front-facing camera on the front obviously for video chat taking your sexy facebook photos you hold it up to the front boom and snap your picture 32 gigs of memory 16 internal there should be a 16 gigabyte card lurking in here of course you can up that to 32 gigs I feel like the micro machine guy at the way I'm talking court support adobe flash on the rest of that goodness i'm going to set you back about three hundred dollars on a two-year contract so what do we have on the phone we've got four capacitive buttons menu home back and search they'll sort of droid chin that we've come to know or love or low depending on which camp you're in on the left hand side hdmi out and the charging port for micro USB on the right hand side very well pronounced a volume up and down rocker in the bottom there lives a microphone nothing else on the top on the left hand side as a power in lock button i prefer when it's on the right but that's just me 3.5 millimeter headset jack you can see there's a little bit of a chin here the chin is on the front sort of reminiscent I guess of the droid x on the back soft touch so it feels pretty nice in the hand there's a camera we talked about speaker grill and all of your branding got verizon LTE with Google the phone's not very thick to me feels solid in your hand I like that soft touch feel I prefer when the back is sort of a metal type accent but this really does feel quite nice let me go ahead and pop this sucker off take a look what else are going to have and maybe there's a tab I gotta pull to get the battery to work I'll try this live on camera so here is the battery and it's a gargantuan battery I can pull it out of there try it come here battery battery there we go um let's check the size of this battery 3.8 bolts where is the na there it is 1735 milliamp hours it's big but it's also very thin already see the comments about that one down below there's where your sim cards going to live and there's where your micro SD cards gonna be so let's go ahead and put some charges to this guy no offense to the droid charge and look around alright so we are plugged in and quasi juiced up here this is what your droid bionic is going to look like brick you got some 3d animations and of course then the full review I'll walk you through everything this is just really the first time I've turned the phone on here and thing is snappy fast I you'd expect that I guess from dual core processor and gig of ram man this thing is blistering alright let's take a look at some of the stuff you're going to get on your phone so here are the apps that you're gonna get they are side-scrolling apps so you've got a lot of custom Motorola ones and of course the standard stuff that you get with Android and some verizon business here because because because you guys didn't uh some more vcat stuff 3d animations there what is that logo camera it looks like it is a camera so that's how you snap pictures yay alright let's go ahead and exit out of here take a look at the browser for me the browser is what matters most uploading time and all that stuff I can handle as long as the browser is going to be decent speeds so let's go ahead and take a look at the browser and here we've got hey check a look at that check a look that take a look at that take note buffalos new mobile version on the thing is just about as fast it expect I mean this just goes I didn't see a checkerboard pattern at all this thing is a speedy speedy speedy looking phone so of course is very unscientific test just first impressions again during the full review and hands on I'll walk through everything I'll run benchmarks and I'll run different tests so I'll show flash and the rest of that business here this is kind of a neat little add-on I saw it's for your contacts so at favorite contacts if you pull down it's going to pull it out a whole bunch of contacts you can go pick who you want and I'll so instead of taking up a whole home screen with row after row it sort of pulls all that down for you to do it I really need addition that Motorola added on here let's take a look at some of the droid backgrounds always kind of fun to see when Motorola puts on that droid phones take a look at live wallpaper sees anything new I don't know why I care about this but I always do so the standard ones and then there's the droid bionic one which I think was the one we had loaded there let's go ahead and set that and see if the eye is gonna creep us out or creep me out uh yeah I feel like it's judging me uh so you can change that if you want this has been a very first look and quick look at the droid bionic verizon's first dual core LTE phone it's available now for 300 smackeroos on a two-year contract i'm jon rettinger boo TechnoBuffalo be sure to check out the website for all
