SpecEagle Editorial·Jul 2010·$600·Score 44/100

Droid X scaled the Droid line up to a then-huge 4.3" screen with 720p video and HDMI-out — a media-focused Verizon flagship. Famous for Motorola's locked bootloader controversy that ignited enthusiast pushback, it remains a notable early-Android device.
