Motorola Droid X vs. Apple iPhone 4: Comparison
Motorola Droid X is the most highly rated Android devices in the market. When it comes to competition it certainly outshines HTC EVO 4G and Samsung Galaxy S and poses a strong threat to the powerful iPhone 4.
This article draws an analogy between Motorola Droid X and iPhone 4 to help you rationally decided which one to choose.
Design and Display
The design of both Droid X and iPhone 4 has an appeal of their own. Droid X has a trendy and decent appearance like most of the Motorola handsets. On the other hand, iPhone 4 has a unique Apple-esque design look and feel. Both handsets go hand in hand in terms of design.
However, in the case of display the situation is a little tricky. Droid X has a 4.3 inch display screen which is larger than that of iPhone 4 that is 3.5 inches but the latter hold superiority with respect to screen resolution. So, it’s a trade off the user makes either go for a larger screen of Droid X with a nice screen resolution or opt for iPhone 4 that may stand inferior in screen size but has a better resolution than Droid X.
Hardware

Operating System
Android 2.1 and iOS4 are strong functioning operating systems that support the Droid X and iPhone 4 respectively. The major difference which sets the two operating systems apart and gives a competitive edge to iPhone 4 is the range of applications offered. iOS4 hosts about 200,000 applications and in contrast the Android Market has swollen up to a total of 65,000 apps.

Both of these phones have impressive high quality cameras. Droid X comes with a 8MP, 3264 X 2448 pixel camera with an outclass dual LED flash where as iPhone 4 has a 5MP, 2592 X 1944 pixel camera that has a remarkable and better image sensor . The results of the later are a little superior than Droid X owing to its image sensor.
Even though the Droid X and iPhone have the identical video recording statistics of 72p at a frame rate of 30 FPS but iPhone 4 offers a front facing camera for video calls which Droid X does not offer.
Connectivity
both of these competing phones feature GPRS, EDGE, 3G HSDPA, Wi-Fi and GPS but the network provider of Droid i.e., Verizon is far much efficient and better than that of iPhone 4, AT&T.
Conclusion
