Today Motorola and Verizon Wireless introduced the Tegra-powered Droid X2 super phone, the next generation of the popular Droid X Android phones.

We’re excited about this newest super phone for several reasons, not least of which is that Verizon customers  can get  the best web experience, extreme multitasking and console-quality gaming in a super phone.

Another reason is that the Droid X2 runs on Verizon’s large 3G network – giving Verizon customers the chance to check out the brand-new experiences that Tegra brings to mobile devices, such as Tegra Zone.

The very popular original Droid X now gets more punch and power with Tegra 2. Tegra’s dual-core CPU, hardware-accelerated Flash Player capabilities and GeForce GPU combine to turbocharge the Droid X2, with 2X faster system performance over single-core smartphones, up to 2X faster web browsing, and access to Tegra-optimized games via the Tegra Zone app on Android Market.

Droid X2:

  • Powered by NVIDIA Tegra 2
  • Runs Android 2.2, to be updated to Android 2.3
  • Large 4.3” scratch-resistant and anti-reflective qHD screen
  • Mirror Mode via HDMI to view and share photos, videos and downloaded movies on your HDTV
  • 8MP camera with continuous auto-focus and HD video capture
  • Access to thousands of Android Market apps

The DROID X2 will be available online at www.verizonwireless.com on May 19 and in Verizon Wireless Communication Stores on May 26.

    That’s awesome! Am I to understand it has a GeForce chipset GPU?!
    So it supports CUDA-accelerated apps then! :D

    no CUDA yet, maybe for Tegra 3… or 4 xD

     If you want Tegra 2 Dual-Core, and 4G, wait for the Motorola DROID Bionic (“Summer” release).

    The specs of this phone are very intriguing. But honestly, I’m kind of a hold out for the DROID Bionic whenever it gets released this “Summer”. Same screen, same Tegra 2 Dual-Core, but 4G capable and dual cameras (8MP + front webcam). Plus, if Motorola sticks close to their original prototype, I like the underscreen buttons as opposed to the push buttons on this one.

    @Chris, @Marvin – The
    great thing about android is there’s a phone with specs available to match
    everyone’s needs. The best part imo is that it’s Tegra 2, the large 4.3”
    screen, and the Verizon network
