Less than six months after launching the Droid 3, Motorola is apparently ready to give us its successor.
The Droid 4 will launch December 8, according to purported promotional materials obtained by Droid Life. The site reports it has confirmed that employee training is already in progress at some Verizon Wireless stores.
The Droid 4 will reportedly have Droid Razr styling and run on Verizon's
4G LTE network, but like the previous Droids, it will feature a
five-row, slide-out keyboard. It will also sport a four-inch touch
screen, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, a front-facing camera
for video chatting, and an 8MP back-facing camera.
There's no indication in the materials which Android
version it will run, but if Droid Life's report is accurate, the new
smartphone will launch the same day as Samsung's Galaxy Nexus, the new
flagship phone for Google's Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich.
A Motorola representative declined to comment, and Verizon representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
