Not all smartphones are created equal. That goes without saying, but since we took time to say it, let’s look at one way the HTC Droid DNA 4G smartphone stands head and shoulders above the competition. The 3 biggest changes in smartphones the last couple of years have been display resolution, processor power and screen size. We have gone from single core to double core to quad core on our processors, and we have display resolutions on our smartphones equivalent to what is offered by our high-end television sets.
The HTC Droid DNA is available for a reduced price tag now starting at $49.99.
And large displays are certainly popular right now. The HTC Droid DNA 4G compares favorably to any other smartphone in all 3 of those categories, and it is actually the first handset to deliver a 5.0 inch, Full HD 1,080P display to a US smartphone. Pixel density is a designation which tells you how many color pixels are located over every inch of display space. This number is described as pixels per inch, or ppi, and the HTC Droid DNA 4G leads the entire smartphone marketplace in this category at 441 ppi.
How impressive is that comparatively? Any screen offering over 300 ppi is considered an excellent display, and the Samsung Galaxy S III runs 306 ppi, while the Apple iPhone 5 delivers 326 ppi. With a huge 5.0 inch display slightly larger than the 4.8 inch screen on the GS III and a full 25% bigger than the display found on the iPhone 5, to also deliver the best ppi by far is an accomplishment which deserves praise and recognition for the HTC Droid DNA 4G.
The Droid DNA handset also delivers the upgraded Jelly Bean 4.1 operating system, a powerful quad core processor, double the average amount of RAM memory for a smartphone and exclusive full range Beats Audio sound system. With red side grills and a seamless laminated display the handset is memorable visually, and is currently offered at around $149 on contract running on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system in the United States.
Slim at 0.38 inches (9.73 mm), the handset is also rather light for a smartphone with a 5.0 inch display and all the amount of hardware packed on board. The Droid DNA 4G weighs 4.87 ounces (130 g), and the 5.0 inch display is an ImageChip ISP S-LCD 3 model. Resolution runs 1,080 x 1,920 pixels, with a layer of Gorilla Glass offering scratch resistance. Above average talk time runs 12.6 hours from a single battery charge, and the quad core CPU has been clocked at 1.5 Ghz.16 GB of storage is built-in, and a full 2.0 GB of RAM system memory is present. Video resolution runs high when recording video, at 1,080P HD resolution video capture offered by the rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder.
You can purchase the Droid DNA at a discounted price tag now starting at $49.99.
