Droid X commercial reveals a few specs -- if you look very, very closely

Verizon's got a teaser ad running for the upcoming Droid X now, but if you see it on TV and you don't have a DVR that can slow down the action, you're going to miss all the good stuff -- in fact, all you really see at full speed is a scary eye that slowly transforms into the lifeless, blood-red vision sensor of a killer robot. If you pull some freeze frames, you can make out a few specs in the reflection of the eye -- HDMI output, 8 megapixel camera, and a 4.3-inch WVGA display, stuff we already knew -- plus a reference to DROIDLanding, which turns out to be some sort of viral Twitter account. Obviously, analyzing an eyeball this closely can really have a lasting traumatic effect on an individual -- but if you insist on having a look for yourself, the full video's after the break.

Turn up the bass and blast this ad!

@trong

Cant wait to see other Ads

@trong Man, its the WFVGA screen after all. I was hoping for 1280x720 or at least WSVGA so it could match the iPhone 4's res. Nonetheless, this is an excellent phone and will be a best seller.

That's such a weird commercial

@josemedina1983
those clever bastards...

[cr3amy Posted Jun 21st 2010 3:11PM]

I thought we already knew these specs...?

[Chris Ziegler Posted Jun 21st 2010 4:08PM]

@cr3amy We did, by and large. Just cute how they revealed them here.

[cr3amy Posted Jun 21st 2010 4:15PM]

@Chris Ziegler
Oh cool, yeah I agree it's kinda cool

[FORDY Posted Jun 21st 2010 5:05PM]

@Chris Ziegler

Yeah, this is surely a deliberate technique to get media interest?

If not, scary attention to detail putting real reflection ion like that, and probably over-budgeted!

[cr3amy Posted Jun 21st 2010 5:12PM]

@FORDY
Oh it is most certainly for media or they wouldn't have had the twitter feed's name in there. Very cool though.

Badass

Resistance is futile

[bernardino Posted Jun 21st 2010 3:21PM]

Cue "Requiem for a Dream" soundtrack?

[PresidentObama Posted Jun 21st 2010 3:24PM]

I thought the display was 4.4 inches.

[kpenning Posted Jun 21st 2010 8:55PM]

@PresidentObama It was then confirmed 4.3

[centeredtype Posted Jun 21st 2010 3:25PM]

is the new motoblur a pain on this phone? I am really tempted to get this one. I was going for the INCREDIBLE but I'm falling for the hype on this one. Gonna go try at the store the first chance its on display at the Verizon store.

[forzanerazzurri2 Posted Jun 21st 2010 3:26PM]

Does it have an Apple logo on it? If not, why is it on this site?

[JerzyIroc Posted Jun 21st 2010 3:30PM]

Awesome

[howay13 Posted Jun 21st 2010 4:07PM]

Can't wait to see it in person!

[ckeegan Posted Jun 21st 2010 5:44PM]

and then there's HTC, looking like a bunch of douchebags with the backordered Incredible, the Ozone, and the Imagio in Verizon's lineup. maybe they just don't like money, because they're about to lose a TON of marketshare to Motorola and Samsung if they don't start leaking some info on a future device.

[ElCid Posted Jun 21st 2010 6:00PM]

For the life of me I don't understand why they create the device slim with a fat bulge on top, instead of a flat back covering a battery that will last through two days rather than one. After all, what use is a big screen and a good mp3/video player app if it drains your batt so much you have to recharge within the day? Already sucks on my HD2, and the Droidx look just as thin...

[kpenning Posted Jun 21st 2010 8:55PM]

Okay. Look at the VERY end. Where it says 07.2010. It flickers and turns into 07.2.2010. July 2nd release date?

[ckeegan Posted Jun 21st 2010 9:28PM]

@kpenning I thought I saw that, and for the life of me couldn't freeze it at the point where I could see it again.

[AshleyTayles Posted Jun 22nd 2010 3:01AM]

@kpenning Nice catch. I'm really loving this commercial. One of the better phone commercials this year.

[NKTizzle Posted Jun 22nd 2010 11:00AM]

@kpenning

That's just the 2 from the 2010. This phone will be out July 19th.
