Trio of New DROID Smartphones Coming to Verizon

A new family of exclusive DROID smartphones is coming soon to Verizon Wireless: DROID MINI, DROID ULTRA and DROID MAXX by Motorola.

The phones feature the DROID Command Center, a homescreen widget for users to easily access notifications for text messages, missed calls, battery level and weather. It also serves as the gateway to new features including Wireless Display to mirror what's on the screen onto a compatible HDTV to play games, browse the web and share pictures on a big screen.

Taking a picture and sharing it is now as easy as shake, tap and swipe. Quick Capture lets users access the 10-megapixel camera by shaking the phone twice, then tapping anywhere on the screen to snap a pic or a selfie. Sharing with a friend or a group of friends nearby is simple with the DROID Zap feature. Swiping up on a picture instantly shares it with fellow new DROID owners nearby, all they need to do is swipe down on their screen to receive it.



Users can also Wake up the DROID by saying "Ok Google Now" and then tell it what they want to do. And for those users who constantly lose their phone under the couch or around the house, they can simply say "Ok Google Now, call my DROID" and it will start ringing. And Active Notifications lets users preview messages and app alerts without waking their phone.

These Touchless Controls and Active Display let users make calls, send texts, get directions, play music, set a reminder and preview notifications hands-free without having to unlock the phone.

The DROID MINI is a compact phone with an edge-to-edge 4.3-inch HD display and wireless charging capabilities.

The DROID ULTRA is the thinnest 4G LTE smartphone available, measuring 7.18mm, and with a 5-inch full HD display. Spec highlights also include a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 10-megapixel camera and a Kevlar case. The ULTRA will be available in Black and Red models.

The DROID MAXX features wireless charging and a 3500mAh battery that gives users nearly two days of battery life on a single charge, making it the longest lasting 4G LTE smartphone available.

All three new Droid smartphones are based on Motorola?s new eight-core X8 platform that touts 24% faster CPU performance and 100% faster GPU processing. They are also made with DuPont Kevlar fiber unibody design and will be available for pre-order online starting today, July 23.
