PC World‘s review Edit

Motorola Droid X shines at multimedia playback, network performance, and features; but the interface can occasionally be sluggish.

In summary, the Droid X is not perfect, but it’s pretty darn good. While navigating the OS works well about 95% of the time, I ran into issues using the browser that would force me to close out of it. Then there’s the Android Market.

HotHardware‘s review Edit

There have been a lot of really great Android phones that have entered the market over the last year. Some of these phones are average, and others set the bar for greatness. Previously, HTC and Verizon Wireless upped the ante with the Droid Incredible. Now, Motorola is taking over the top spot by raising the bar even higher by adding a larger touchscreen, plenty of storage, and 3G Hotspot capabilities to its top-end smartphone. Because of these features, the Droid X once again raises the bar for what a high-end smartphone should offer.

ubergizmo‘s review Edit

The Motorola Droid X offers some really good features, notably the huge screen, mobile HotSpots and the Swype virtual keyboard. However, it has weaknesses too. The slightly slower user interface performance makes the phone a little less enjoyable to use (slow UI, jerky scrolling), but I think/hope that it will be improved down the road by a software update (maybe...).

Phone Arena‘s review Edit

As we look back, both devices have their strengths and weaknesses, but we feel that the Motorola DROID X is the more compelling smartphone since it has additional curb appeal over its refreshed brother. In reality, it radiates that same aura that surrounded the original Motorola DROID – especially when it packs a substantial wow factor from a first glance. However, you still can't count out the DROID 2 since it's a pretty solution for heavy text messengers and users who demand a relatively compact handset.

www.pcper.com‘s review Edit

All in all, the Droid X is a great Android phone, and a great Smartphone in general. While the excitement of a device like this may be lessened because of all of the recent phone launches, it is still a solid example of a good phone. While everyone may not enjoy the large form factor, it is still good that consumers have the choice of buying a phone like this. This shows the strong foundation that an open source operating system can lay down and allow manufactures like Motorola or HTC to create great handsets. This good handset will only get more interesting in the future with software updates to Froyo, and beyond. Stay tuned to PC Perspective for more updates on Android phones in the future.

phonedog‘s review Edit

DROID X is an awesome superphone, and is a much needed form factor in the Verizon lineup. The 1 GHz processor, combined with the 4.3-inch display and8.0-megapixel camera, make this an incredibly feature-rich device that blew through everything I was able to throw at it.

mobiledia‘s review Edit

The Droid X won't be pigeon-holed as a one-dimensional phone. Its designers did their best to make it a well-rounded smartphone. The phone moves quickly through screens and menu items and the internet moves fast too. The phone has a familiar browser and users can not only connect via 3G or Wi-Fi, they can also help other devices got onto the Web.

AnandTech‘s review Edit

It’s hard to argue that the new Motorola Droid X hasn’t captured the Android performance and flagship crown once again. Eight months after the original Motorola Droid, Motorola has launched a worthy successor. Further into the summer, we'll see a true followuup to the original Droid - the Droid 2. It will pack an improved hardware keyboard, the same size and form factor as the first Droid, and probably the same SoC as the X.

brighthand‘s review Edit

The screen is large, bright, and beautiful to look at. The speaker is of exceptional quality, and the phone is responsive to my every command. Entertainment is the real focus here, and the Droid X offers plenty of entertainment value with games, excellent music and video playback, and a great camera.

Phone Scoop‘s review Edit

The Droid X is an all-around great phone. There's very little to complain about. Perhaps the biggest reason to test it out before committing to a two-year contract is the big-ness, er, size of the Droid X. It is as big as cell phones get, and some may find the size unappealing.

Engadget‘s review Edit

The Droid X becomes a much less magical phone than the Droid was. It's good, and it's a pretty enjoyable execution of Android 2.1, but it's not a must-have phone - especially in light of the Droid Incredible and the upcoming Droid 2. From a hardware perspective, this phone is pretty much a bang-on execution of what a high-end mobile powerhouse should be, but Motorola clearly still has work to do in order to play in the same software league as HTC does with Sense.

hardwaresecrets‘s review Edit

Verizon’s Droid phones just keep getting better and better. The Droid was good. The Droid Incredible was better. The Droid X is now the best. Its larger screen, better camera, Bluetooth voice dialing, and Wi-Fi hotspot feature will make it the current Android phone of choice for many. If you want a smaller phone, the Incredible or the new line of Samsung Galaxy Android phones may be a good choice for you, but if you can manage the larger size, the Droid X is an excellent phone.

Gizmodo‘s review Edit

All things considered, it's a showstopping phone whose potential is mutilated by ill-considered, ugly software that's poorly done. The screen is sharp, colorful, resoundingly impressive. The guts are quick. The build is sculpted and robust. Unfortunately, you can't really get around bad software—it's is how a user touches hardware. It's less elegant and focused than the other monster phone of the moment, HTC's Evo on Sprint (and the Droid X doesn't even have four gees).

Phone Arena‘s review Edit

Ultimately, timing played a key role in how things turned out as the HTC EVO 4G was the first out of the gate and set the precedence for other handsets released after. The commercials and advertising campaigns for the HTC EVO 4G perfectly sum up its talent – being a first in almost every category. It's the first Android powered handset to include a 4.3” display and 4G connectivity in the US market – plus it greatly brought the notion that these monstrous devices tacking on impressive hardware can still look good on the outside.

PC Advisor‘s review Edit

The Motorola Droid X is one of the top smartphones coming out this summer. In features, design, and usability, it is right up there with the iPhone 4. If only it were a little faster and the camera ergonomics were a bit more user-friendly.

Phone Arena‘s review Edit

Just like the original Motorola DROID, the DROID X is presented as one of the smartphones to challenge the might of Apple's iPhone by attacking some key areas where the iPhone has been unable to capture. From a design standpoint, we have to give credit to Motorola for being able to craft a sleek ...

SlashGear‘s review Edit

It feels like every week we’re talking about whether one device or another is the best Android smartphone on the market, and declaring a new – if transient – winner of the title. Motorola is certainly back on form with the DROID X, making a capable play for the top spot and giving Verizon-devotees an excellent option among big touchscreen handsets. It lacks the superlative display of the Galaxy S, though comfortably out-performs it in day to day use, and the WiMAX connectivity of the EVO 4G, but bests it in camera output.

Phone Arena‘s review Edit

The clear winner here for most people is the Motorola DROID X, as it offers a larger, 4.3” display, excellent call quality, better looking camera images and video with HDMI out, and has overall faster performance with better battery life. Though the HTC Droid Incredible is better suited for those individuals looking for a more compact smartphone with a smaller screen and are fond of HTC Sense UI. If it were up to us, we’d like to see a Motorola DROID X running Sense UI, as that would be the best of both worlds (hardware and software), but since that isn’t going to happen, we’ll have to make do with the DROID X as-is and await the Android 2.2 update.

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit

As an added bonus for Mother Earth, Droid X is environmentally friendly, including a PVC-free handset, bromine-free printed circuit boards, mercury-free LCD display, arsenic-free glass and packaging made of 65 per cent recycled materials.

LAPTOP Magazine‘s review Edit

With its huge and responsive screen, sharp 8-MP camera, and mobile hotspot feature, the $199 Droid X can rightfully take its place as Verizon’s top Android device. Some may prefer the more compact Droid Incredible, but it doesn’t offer HDMI output or 720p video recording.

The Motorola Droid X takes the crown for the most powerful Android smartphone away from the HTC Droid Incredible.
