Droid Bionic Launch Date Leaked, Just Over 2 Weeks Away?
So…This is huge. Looks like we’ve finally got what appears to be a concrete release date for the Droid Bionic by Motorola. Even crazier than having it though, is the date itself – August 4th. While everyone was basically expecting this phone some time this summer, late August was the general consensus.
Furthermore, the Bionic was delayed, delayed, and delayed some more, leaving us all half-expecting it to not be out until fall. With a normal phone delayed this much, we’d be a little wary of the specs, as all too often a phone’s release will be pushed back due to contract negotiations or some other business function, and the phone won’t be updated in the meantime. Then, when the phone releases, its specs are already out of date. The Bionic though, appears to be a different story. Supposedly, the Bionic was delayed when the iPhone 4 came out, in order to be able to better compete with what Motorola felt will be the Bionic’s competition, which we hope Moto knows is the iPhone 5.

When the Bionic was originally announced, it had decent specs. A dual-core, 1GHz processor was running the show, with Android 2.2 on board. Now though, specs have been slightly revamped, and are rumored to be as follows:
- 4G LTE running on Verizon Wireless
- 1GHz-1.2GHz dual-core processor, either Nvidia’s Tegra 2 or the new OMAP by Texas Instruments
- 512MB of Ram
- Nvidia GeForce Ultra low power GPU
- 4.5″ qHD screen
- 8MP rear facing camera with Dual LED flash
- VGA Front facing camera for video chat
