The thinnest 4G LTE smartphone currently offered in the mobile marketplace is also very rugged. Motorola has reinforced the Droid Ultra 4G backplate with DuPont Kevlar fiber, and the display is protected by a scratch resistant layer of Corning Gorilla Glass. Measuring just 7.18 mm thick (0.28 inches), the slender but durable Droid Ultra 4G runs on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system in the United States. In holiday news, the handset hit the annual Amazon seasonal sale at the Amazon Wireless store online, and was recently spotted with a price tag starting at around $19 on contract.
Motorola has included a new Droid Zap content sharing feature which uses the power of virtual cloud storage to share photos, video clips and other media. With just one gesture on your Motorola Droid Ultra, you can send any content to the cloud, allowing anyone who is nearby that possesses an Android phone running Jelly Bean 2.2 or higher to access and download that media. If you just want to share with friends or family members, or possibly coworkers who need an update of some important business-related information, you can hand out a specific pin code which will be required before accessing the content in the cloud.
The Motorola Droid Ultra also responds to your voice, in a true hands-free fashion, even if it is in standby mode. The Google Now virtual personal assistant and contextual search engine works in congress with a special language processing core to respond to your voice commands. Simply say, “OK Google Now,” and the slim Droid Ultra 4G will allow you to check messages, set alarms, pull up a weather report, obtain directions or do just about anything else with just the sound of your voice. A few minutes in a quiet room training your Droid Ultra to learn your voice means that even in a crowded room, your handset picks out and responds to your unique verbal commands.
Available since August of this year on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network in the US, the Droid Ultra is home to a very large high-resolution screen, generous RAM memory and a rear camera with a special Quick Capture mode. Just shake the handset twice and your camera is powered up and ready, the phone offers NFC, Bluetooth and wireless Wi-Fi connectivity options, and the rear facing 10.0 megapixel camera provides video capture at the rate of 1,080P Full HD resolution.
With a large 5.0 inch True HD display, 2.0 GB of RAM memory, 16 GB of built-in data storage and a powerful quad core processor, the Motorola Droid Ultra 4G running on Verizon is a versatile device. And even though it is wafer-thin, the Droid Ultra delivers a generous 28.0 hours of all-around usage after a full battery charge. The CPU has been clocked at 1.7 GHz, and is part of a special power-saving X8 Motorola computing package that spreads operational tasks across eight different processing cores. The Droid Ultra 4G also offers a front facing 2.0 megapixel chat cam, which can be used for Skype and video calls as well.
