Motorola Droid Bionic Hardware Tour

2011-09-12
hey guys it's joe with pocketnow.com and today we're going to take a look at the hardware walk around of the motorola droid bionic let's go take a look okay in our last video we unbox the motorola droid bionic for verizon and really it's a standard box with what you'd come to expect inside of it we didn't look at the hardware of the phone just so we could keep this video series separate and clean so without further ado let's go ahead and take a look so here's the device just as it came out of the box now when I say as it came out of the box there is no battery in place there's no sim in place and the back cover is separate still in a zip ered bag so you can see what that looks like right there let's take a look at the front first of all you've got this ginormous screen with a really really nice front facing camera front speaker and front buttons I'm not really impressed with the way that Motorola does their button layout I'm used to having home over here on the side so I think that may come into might be a little bit problematic for me but the buttons are there and that's what's important they are capacitive they're not actually physical buttons on the you know that you have tactile feedback when you push them down which I like gives you a nice clean feel to it we've got the menu button the home button back and search very modest branding for verizon and motorola and then of course we've got a microphone input right there let's go ahead and look at the cover that was on that put that back here just for a minute and it doesn't have to be perfect so we've got this we've got the the power and lock screen up here on the top which is right there we've got also the ambient light sensor over here we've got a headphone jack right there we've got volume up and down on the opposite side from what i'm a custom so we'll see how that works out it should still be pretty good because it's right there underneath the index finger rather than under Neath the thumb so it should work out pretty well over on this side we've got a micro USB and an hdmi out so you can port the the screens and whatnot from your your phone here your smartphone to your big-screen TV if you want so really kind of cool moving around over here we've got a microphone hole and the reason I put this back down is because it has these little notes says for best audio quality do not cover make sense but apparently they've been having some problems with cases and whatnot covering the holes so looking at the bottom it's nice and clean and empty looking over here on the side and then into the back compartment in the back we've got our bar code information we've got our battery contacts we've got our 8 megapixel autofocus camera that also does 1080p video you heard that right 1080p we'll get some samples of that in our next video so you can see what that 1080p looks like and compared to some of the others that we've shot we also have a 16 gig class for micro SD card and then while I'm here let's go ahead and install our sim now this is a cdma device but because it is LTE it has a sim now you can also see my ulterior reason for putting that screen protector back in place now this is one of the most Awkward sim setups I've ever seen but once you get everything lined up it slides right in just like that getting that out is not that easy but hey you know what's once it's in there it's in there you're probably never going to be swapping it so make sure that that SD card is in really tight take your battery again if you didn't watch the first video which if you haven't subscribed to our channel so you don't miss this kind of stuff this is a 1735 milliamp hour battery so very large capacity in a very small form factor go ahead and put that in it's very snug if you need to remove the battery there's a little notch right over here it does say battery removal here just stick your finger nail in there and lift up and with a little bit of prying it comes out let's go ahead and take the back panel out here move that aside now this has a bump out on the top just like a lot of the droids do and that's to accommodate the the camera up there on the top we also have a little Mike hole on the bottom and there's your external speaker overall very nice it feels kind of rubbery so it should be really easy to grip and then there we go so let's go ahead and close this guy up bottom first making sure we get all the sides pushed down nice and snug now also on the back you'll notice there's another hole warning indicator for best quality don't cover that and then of course a little protector for the motorola logo there's a 4G LTE logo verizon logo and a google logo and other than that it's a very clean back side to this the heft this thing is not how to get this out of the way because it's crinkling too much this is not light but it's not as heavy as I thought it would be for such a large screen device and something that holds such a powerhouse now this is a dual-core processor so you'll want to stay tuned to our later videos so you can get the the results of those in our benchmarking tests but overall this thing is fabulous and phenomenal go ahead and do a okay was mentioning before will do the 1080p video sample in an upcoming video and we're also going to do the the software video including the apps that come with it and the benchmarks on it as well overall I'm really impressed with this device it's very large compared to some of the others especially compared to that HTC Wildfire s that we just reviewed but this is the feature phone this is fabulous it's great it is the top of the line that you can get from Motorola verizon today and we're eager to show you more about it so make sure you subscribe and tune back in do you like the video give it a thumbs up if you want to see more give it a thumbs up and if you want to see the full review as soon as we have that ready for you head over to pocketnow.com so you can see it showing off
