With that, sometimes it is not easy to answer one of the most commonly asked questions I get, “What phone should I get?” Do I tell you about the latest amazing rumor about the next big thing, or do I point you to the device that came out last week, which I put aside when it was announced a few months ago. It’s complicated, to say the least, and it can be either better or worse depending on carrier.
Verizon seems to be on the verge of what can only be described as a colossal drop of four really incredible phones between now and Christmas, and they are each capable of being Verizon’s next big thing. This is something of a first for Verizon, as each of the phones are shrouded in a fair bit of mystery and hype, driving more rumors and fanboy fighting than I think I’ve ever seen before. What are these phones? The Motorola Droid Bionic, the Samsung Galaxy S2, the Apple iPhone 5, and the Google Nexus Prime. Each of these phones could potentially bring new customers from all of the other carriers, as wel as bring many existing customers over to Verizon’s new plans and away from their existing unlimited plans.
Verizon’s initial offering of devices running on their shiny new, lightning fast LTE network. The three devices that have been released so far all bring something unique to the table, but none of them are truly competitive with the next generation of Android phones. An 8-megapixel camera, a dual core processor, and the next generation in screen technology are just samples of what the remodeled Droid bionic will bring to Big Red’s LTE offerings.
With a Tegra 2 processor and a qHD screen with 1GB of RAM, the Bionic will be packing much the same hardware that we’re seeing in current Android tablets. The buzz and hype surrounding the Bionic since January has reached a fever pitch recently when Verizon made it clear they were gearing up for its release. While widely speculated, no official release date has been offered by Verizon.
