Motorola Droid 2 Gets Hands-on 1080p Video Preview

Blog Android and Me is the first to be graced with a preview of Motorola’s Droid 2, which looks like its predecessor (except for the re-worked keypad) but internally is housing a beastly 1GHz TI OMAP3630 processor (Droid has 550MHz TI OMAP343) with integrated PowerVR SGX530 graphics and 512Mb RAM (over 256Mb in the Droid). Benchmarks conducted show that the Droid 2 is substantially faster than the original, which is still one of the more powerful smartphones out there.

Noteworthy is that Taylor thinks that the Droid 2 might not be a worthwhile upgrade for owners who are satisfied with their Droid. Motorola has promulgated that before the end of the 2010, it will release a 2GHz Tegra Android 2.2 FroYo smartphone with iPhone 4 killing specs. Anyone who is using an older smartphone should definitely be salivating over the Droid X (same internal hardware as Droid 2, minus keypad) and the Droid 2.
