Droid X gets shown off alongside iPhone, EVO 4G and Droid Eris

There’s no denying that the Droid X floodgates are wide open now. Over at the Android Forums some new photos of the device have emerged by way of user matrix2004. Far more fascinating than the typical leaked images, what makes these ones special is that the show off the X next to EVO 4G, iPhone 3G and Droid Eris giving us a good idea of its size. No surprises here, but it’s absolutely massive. Other things of note in the image are some of the custom widgets that come along with “Shadow BLUR“, the (thankfully) tasteful update to MOTOBLUR. Hit the jump to check out the X next to the Droid Eris.

Thanks, Nick!

EVO, please come to Canada so I can ditch my iPhone

I love that everyone on Verizon is in love with this phone, yet bitched about the size of the EVO.

skyy_flyer

I’m on Verizon, have the Incredible, and I think the EVO is a beautiful phone. HTC is on a roll lately with high end devices on all the carriers. This phone looks huge though, can’t wait to actually see one and see how it feels.

matrix2004

That’s not HTC, its Moto.
skyy_flyer

I know the new Droid is Motorola, but in his comment, he said how Verizon customers bitched about the size of the EVO, which IS a HTC devce, and I just mentioned how wrong he was in his assumption of Verizon customers thinking the EVO is too big and that I think right now HTC is the best in the business.

Damn thats nice! I may have to buy bigger pants tho…

Held both in my hands (droid x and evo) the evo feels bulkier and heavier.

The other Eric

How is that possible when the X is visibly bigger in every dimension?

Joe

The Droid X is only bigger in one dimension (height). The EVO is wider, thicker, and weighs more. So if it is just longer then it should feel better in the pocket. Droid X is mine!
The other Eric

thanks for the clarification. i suppose it’s possible that MOTOrulz could’ve been making an unbiased observance, but something about his name caused me to consider otherwise…
stevej

@motorulz and how did you do that?

palomosan

The X looks bigger than the EVO but the X is mostly metal I suppose.

Anyways is looking better by the minute.
vzw rocks

after reading the dell streak review and hearing that it would fit in a pocket, just maybe a little snug. I have no problem picking this phone up. im tired of surfing the web on a 3.7″ screen. I do more scrolling than reading half the time and its get annoying.

jonathan

If the resolution isn’t any better on this phone, then it wont matter what size the screen is. You’re still going scroll.

Someone can put a 5 inch screen on a phone, but if it has shotty resolution, you might as well just buy an old school Nokia with a .7 inch screen.

Swagger

Does it have a front facing camera?

Diesel

I dont understand why everyone is so concerned about this feature. How often will you use this? Not often unless you like looking at urself.

Electrofreak

Video calling maybe?
Diesel

which vzw doesnt have..

MOTOrulz

I also should add that the droidX is fast as hell.
Eric

I think these phones are getting a bit too large. I like my Incredible. I would still like it if it was a little bigger, but I do not need a huge phone. I think they are starting to get carried away now. These phones might be fine for people who carry a purse, but I carry my phone on my belt.
RF weeny

I had both the Evo & X in my hand on Thursday. They are basically the same form factor. The Evo has touchscreen virtual buttons and the X has actual buttons, outside of that (and the network) they seem to be the same device. I don’t know why the pictures make the X look so much bigger.
Ishy

It lools like thete is one to the left of the speaker.

Hmmmmm….
Vzw:
damn near $100 mo
One year contract option

Sprint:
$80 mo
2 year

Thats what I’m looking at Sprint and VZW share networks in my area and destroy both GSM carriers, TMO is usless on my 2G iPhone.

nismopwr

plus you can upgrade every yr.
Joe

they dont share 3g

Swagger

I’m serious, does it have a front facing camera?

joe

it would appear it does not, but id like to know for sure also
Diesel

NO!

al

I live in piscataway. Where is this guy located? I want to see the phone in person!

EVO4ALL

Motorola’s head quarters is in piscataway..

Swagger

@Ishy

I’m with you about the monthy rates. I left ATT and went over to Sprint. My work gets a discount with Sprint so I am only paying $60 a month. Well, $67 if you include the $7 insurance.

My Sprint service has been just as good if not better than when I had ATT and even that was great.

mostlyDigital

And I left Sprint because I had to run out out of my house to try to answer my phone. All the networks have some dead spots. You just have to find the service that supports the places you live work and go to.

If someone wrote the software and someone else hosted the layer, how long do you think it would take for the cell phone population to accurately map signal strength everywhere?

clamknuckle

@ishy

VZW has a one year contract, or one year upgrades? If it’s just one year upgrades, Sprint has that too, as long as you pay your bill on time and spend at least 69.99 a month.
Cellenator

Damn my ding dong just twitched!
The other Eric

I loved the screen of the evo so much I bought one last Friday. I wound up returning it though because it was simply too big. I now know my ideal phone has a 4inch screen, and hopefully only a slight bezel… (like the Evo). First carrier to announce such a phone on Froyo will get my expiring AT&T contract.

(and if it looks like no carrier has such a phone in the works, I’ll stick with the iPhone)

wojax

That would be the samsung galaxy you are looking for my friend. 4″inch super amoled screen,with front facing camera and an upgrade to froyo soon after.(no flash but who really takes pictures on an phone in the dark?)

Joe

I use flash but samsung was a good call
The other Eric

just googled the galaxy… very interesting. if it’s only on T-mobile, that would be disappointing, to say the least.

Electrofreak

Yep, Samsung Galaxy S. Best-kept-secret superphone.

wojax

@ The other Eric. And MAN HANDS would be a plus…just joking..
Valaar

I love nice displays and would like to see the iPhone go a tad larger but the iPhone was the first phone that I didn’t wear on my belt. The 3G fits nicely in my pocket without odd protrusions and making sitting down difficult. I thought the Evo while being beautiful was to big this to me is just motorola saying well since we can make a sexy phone we’ll just make the biggest display regardless of whether it fits in peoples pockets. Pretty screen yes, too big you bet.

Heres the other thing, it might be bigger then the Evo, but what’s the resolution? The Evo might be bigger then the iPhone 4 but the iPhone has a better display and I’m betting it’s better then the X, any betters?
StevenGlansburg

This is the first phone that beats the iphone for me. I will be first in line when I know the date.

Sonya

Do you think the EVO beats the iPhone?

Joe

I think so, by far. The Droid X looks even better in my eyes.

Ray

Holy cow, its bigger than the EVO….which isn’t actually as big as you might think, although not sure about something even larger in size. – May not fit in your pocket, just how thick is it anyway?

Joe

9mm on thin part and 9.8mm on camera area

Swagger

Why would a phone that size not have a front facing cam for video chat? What a shame.

Mr Magoo

Probably cos unlike apple most phone companies have tried that and it failed! 3G phones could make video calls for years and no-one used it. So why bother adding the cost of the cam and ther extra complexity if no one wants it.

If Apple can jazz it up and create a demand then fair play to em, but It’s not a mass market seller YET!!!

Kirk

My god, the EVO 4G and Droid Eris OS looks awful!
Roman

Phones in pictures always look larger than in person. It will be big, but not as big as pics make it seem. Played with the EVO at Best Buy and it didn’t seem as big as in the commercials. So I find the Droid X to be acceptable in terms of size. Can’t wait for this and a T-mobile iPhone (if ever).

Don’t chose sides, choose enjoyment :)
