Breaking: Droid 2 and Droid X will Both Have 1.0GHz Snapdragon Processors


Well that sucks!! I was seriously thinking about getting the Droid 2 if it had the same chip set as droid 1. Since it will be limited with the snapdragon i will wait and save money until the dual cores are out! Long live android!!:up

At the pace that new droids are coming out, I am waiting until November, when my year is up. By then there will be something better. And hopefully not with motoblur.

Yet another update at Droid-LIFE.

NOT RUNNING snapdragon, running OMAP processors.

Reason #57 why Droid-Life, no matter how useful, needs to confirm its sources before blasting out posts. No quality control over there. But Kellex is new at this I guess.

Not sure why they would announce Snap Dragon. Motorola use TI Omap processors and on top of that the Droid X has long been reported to feature Omap. I have an upgrade July 12th but will wait.

I still really like my Droid even though I never use the keyboard. It's nice to see the big press event to take some of the lime light away from Apple.

I like you will probably wait on Dual Core. These phones are coming out quickly and keep upping the anty.

Edited thread title.

Think it's all @DroidLanding's fault. The is-it-real-or-not twitter account that's claiming to be launching a droid x pre-release scavenger hunt said snapdragon yesterday before quickly changing it.... (much like the droid x product page at verizon had it misrepresented with a 720p display before changing it to captures 720p)

I mean, if they're giving them away, I'll gladly take one...

(said twitter feed was unearthed by uber close examination of the commercial found here: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/06/21/new-droid-x-commercial-launches-looks-familiar/)

Yeah, and the viral spreading of ANY info by Droid-Life, without any fact checking first.

Don't get me wrong, I use that site all the time, but wish they would be a bit more careful before posting stuff.

And yes, if they are giving them away for free, I'll take one too, even if it has motoblur on it.

So is the OMAP processor that much better than the Snapdragon?

HECK YEA!!! better chip set. Has its one GPU!

They are both based on Arm architecture, However the Cortex-A8 has a dedicated GPU.
