Droid Bionic specs briefly confirmed on Moto dev site

On their developer site, developer.motorola.com, Motorola briefly posted what seem to be the specifications of the upcoming Droid Bionic. Supposing these are accurate they would be confirmation–straight from Motorola–of what the upcoming 4G dual-core handset will be running. Along with an official release date this is exactly what potential buyers have been wanting, though we already have compiled a pretty good idea of what to expect from the Bionic. Since the listing was discovered it has since been removed from the site, but screenshots were captured.
Readers who have examined the image above, and who have been closely following that saga that has become the Droid Bionic release, will have noticed that the old model number was used. (The original Bionic design was XT865, while the new one is XT875.) This might cause some to doubt the accuracy of the specs, but the processor is listed as the 1GHz OMAP4430, which means this is the new model (the old one ran the Tegra 2).
The other specifications include:
  • Android 2.3.4
  • 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen at qHD (960×540, 240 dpi)
  • Webtop compatibility
  • 1GB RAM
  • 8MP camera with 1080p video, VGA front camera
  • HDMI 1.4
  • Verizon 4G LTE
As you can see above the Droid Bionic listing did not use a real shot of the handset, where the Droid 3 and Photo 4G did. Both of those phones and their specifications are still viewable on the developer site.
These findings pretty much confirm everything we had previously heard about the Droid Bionic (XT875 that is) and reiterate that this is looking like a standout device for Verizon. It is still slated to be the first dual-core 4G handset, though a release date has yet to be confirmed. Last we heard the Bionic was said to be landing some time in September, according to Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha.
