Verizon Wireless today announced the Droid Ultra, Droid Mini, and Droid Maxx, all made by Motorola. The Ultra (shown) is thinner than last year's RAZR HD, at almost 7 mm thin, which Verizon calls the world's thinnest LTE smartphone. The Maxx is thinner than last year's RAZR Maxx HD, yet has more battery life (48 versus 32 hours.) The Mini replaces the RAZR M, and is the smallest and cheapest of the three. The Ultra and Maxx have 5-inch 720p displays, while the Mini has a 4.3-inch 720p display. All have a unique processor configuration that allows sensors and voice activation to operate while the phone is idle. The main processor in all three is a 1.7 GHz, dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro. The Ultra and Maxx have AMOLED displays that can activate just a small section to show time and notifications while using minimal battery life. The Mini has a TFT LCD display. All three have 10-megapixel main cameras, plus front cameras. The Mini will sell for $99 on contract, the Ultra for $199, and the Maxx for $299. They are available for pre-order now, and will ship August 20th.

OMG this is so Awesome!

Wow Verizon is offering more boring ass droids! WOW I could not be more happy about this, maybe I could buy one at full retail for 700 dollars and keep my unlimited data! It just keeps getting better and better at Verizon, have you seen their coverage maps it's covered with a BIG RED marker and they have coverage everywhere, NOT!

Compared to Moto-X

Does this give us insight into the Moto-X specifications? They look similar to what is rumored. I guess we only have to wait 1 week to find out. 🤨
