The Droid 4 includes a full QWERTY keyboard and is the second of its kind to have access to Verizon's 4G LTE network joining the Samsung Stratosphere.
PCMag had a hands-on experience with the handset at CES and stated that the Droid 4's frame is surprisingly thin even though it includes a keyboard. It measures at 5.0 by 2.7 by 0.5 inches and weighs 6.3 ounces. The site describes it to feel even lighter than that.
Its 4-inch qHD (540-by-960 pixel) display "looked great," according to the site and the smartphone was really comfortable to hold with the keyboard open or closed. Other specs on the Droid 4 include a rear 8-megapixel camera a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, and 16GB of internal storage with a microSD slot to expand the memory up to 32GB. It is also one of Verizon's top-of-the-line 4G LTE smartphones.
PCMag was most impressed with the keyboard on the 4. They describe the keys as "chiclet-style" that mimic those on a laptop. It is also a business ready device coming with a government grade encryption for email, calendars, and contact.
The Droid 4 comes with Android 2.3.5, Gingerbread pre-loaded and there should be an Ice Cream Sandwich update available for it in the near future.
