Droid Bionic images appear, possibly with a 4.5-inch display

It seems that a whole mess of Motolora Droid Bionic images just turned up on the internet. Android blog Droid-Life has posted a number of shots of what looks to be the upcoming Verizon 4G superphone, including one very interesting one. That shot, pictured above, puts the Bionic next to the Samsung Droid Charge, a handset we know to have a 4.3-inch display. The Bionic’s screen is clearly larger, so unless there was some digital imaging trickery then the old information we have heard–which said the Bionic would also have a 4.3-inch screen–is incorrect.
The images are available here and here. We can see some nice shots of the front and back of the Droid Bionic hardware, but no major reveals aside from display size. It’s worth noting that this guy says he got a picture from someone who had their hands on the device and noted that it has a 4.3-inch display. (Of course his own hands weren’t on it, so he might have just been making an assumption.)
With its square body the Bionic looks a whole lot like the Droid 3 and much less like the Bionic of January 2011. People will be buying the phone for what’s inside it–namely that OMAP chip and 4G radio–but a more distinguished design would have been nice. If it does in fact have the larger display that will be an added selling point, putting it in the same league as the monstrous Samsung Infuse… and making the Bionic larger than the Samsung Galaxy S II.
So another day, another Droid Bionic rumor. Based on the comments floating around the web a number of diehard Android fans who have been eagerly looking forward to the Bionic seem to be getting tired of the wait and are ready to move on to another device, generally the Galaxy S II. The waiting game is getting to be a bit much–the phone was first announced back in January for an April release, but has since been completely redesigned. We’ve been told it will come out some time in September (but I’ll believe it when I see it).
