Motorola Droid Ultra: Unboxing and Review

The Droid Ultra is the latest to come from Motorola on Verizon. The phone is the first phone since Google bought Motorola and for the most part it shows. The Droid Ultra is essentially the Moto X, but without customization options. The Droid Ultra is made entirely of Kevlar with the exception of the 5-inch, 720 AMOLED display. Inside you'll find the newly developed Motorola X8 Dual-Core 1.8Ghz CPU, along with the Quad-Core 400Mhz GPU and 2GB of RAM. The phone also comes equipped with 16GB of internal storage, a 10MP rear camera, 2MP forward-facing camera and Android 4.2.2.

In this video I unbox the phone and then give a comprehensive review of the Droid Ultra after using it as my exclusive phone for a few days. I have to say I came away mostly impressed with the Ultra and definitely could recommend it to anyone looking for a decent Android phone. Be sure to watch the review for all the details and comment below on your thoughts about the Droid Ultra from Motorola.

You're right. All Verizon phones are unlocked, so this time I decided to use it as my only phone, instead of using two phones. Either way, the signal strength issue I mentioned doesn't change from Verizon to AT&T, etc.

Nice review, but I'm not feeling the design of the phone. I prefer the Moto X, even though it has a smaller screen, but the UI is a lot better on the X. I just wish the price wasn't so high for these devices.

-So motorola got rid of LED notification light?
-If another person has a samsung(S4/3), do they have to get the droid zap app to function unlike SBeam?

This is not a bad phone, but it is a little price for what it is offering to the market. I think the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the HTC One are more powerful phones to chose.

If you are going to comment on someone's performance, you should make sure your own comment is without errors.

I'm not impressed with your review on the phones performance. If your going to label a device "fine" and not powerful give some examples of app performance or lag and some bench marks. Please feel free to give a more in depth review and a few camera examples would be nice as well.
