There is also another option, in name of Motorola Droid 4. It’s the fourth generation of Droid, a more stylish and elegant version, looking very much like the DROID Razr, only that it comes with a sliding QWERTY keyboard.

Even if the date isn’t sure yet, the handset just hit the FCC, meaning it will be be out anytime soon.

In terms of camera, as many other smartphones, they will have a rear 8 megapixel camera on the back capable of capturing videos at 1080p.
