Review: Motorola Droid 4 for Verizon Wireless

Form Basics Extras Wrap-Up Comments 18

The Motorola Droid 4 is a good effort from our friends at Motorola and performs well at essential tasks. The Droid 4 is a signal hound, makes great voice calls, and is a solid data device on either 3G or 4G.

The Droid 4's QWERTY keyboard is truly fantastic and the best from Motorola yet. The rest of the hardware is decent and offers a mix of materials and features that work as they should.

If you're in the market for a QWERTY Android device with LTE 4G on Verizon's network, the Droid 4 is your best best. Though the third time is often the charm, in this case case, Motorola's fourth effort is by far the most charming Droid.
