Motorola Droid X2 photos and competing specs surface

droid x2Motorola will finally premiere the successor to the Droid X sometime in the near future. Until then, you can enjoy sifting through full specs and photos of the Droid X2 that a commenter on forum The MobiZone got his hands on. The page originally posted is no longer available, but it’s cached here (although photos will not load).

Check out the specs:

  • NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core 1GHz processor
  • 1GB RAM
  • 4.3-inch QHD LCD display; 540 x 960 resolution
  • 3G (no LTE/4G option)
  • 8-megapixel rear-facing camera (no front-facing camera)
  • Froyo (Android 2.2); it’s possible the phone will upgrade to Gingerbread before launch
  • MOTOBLUR

The Droid X2 is set to launch during the second quarter, and the report definitely lines up with what we heard earlier this year. The CPU and RAM upgrades are probably the most notable features, but can be found in the upcoming Droid Bionic – which is also LTE capable. Engadget, however, is insisting that the specs don’t seem quite right. According to its sources, Motorola will indeed launch a new Droid X (apparently called “Droid X2”) but it’s pared down a bit:

  • 4.3-inch LCD; 480 x 854 resolution
  • 1.2 GHz single-core CPU
  • 768MB of RAM

So now we’re not sure what to believe. Either way, the Droid X has been a popular device for Motorola and a follow up is sure to get some attention.

iPhone 17 Slim set to be thin, but not Apple’s slimmest
A mockup of the Apple iPhone 17 Air next to the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

There's been a lot of chatter surrounding a slimmer model of the iPhone 17 of late. The device has been the subject of the rumour mill for months, going by both the iPhone 17 Slim and the iPhone 17 Air in reports, with neither name confirmed of course. 

The latest report does further support how thin the iPhone 17 Slim or iPhone 17 Air could be if it is released, however. It was previously suggested by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that the iPhone 17 Slim would measure 5.5mm. Sounds thin, right? Well, it would be, even if not the slimmest Apple product, which is currently the iPad Pro (M4, 2024) at 5.3mm. 
Could the iPhone 17 Slim be the world's thinnest phone?
If the 5.5mm measurement is accurate though, which leaker Ice Universe has supported in a recent post on Chinese social media site Weibo, it would make the iPhone slimmer than both the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, said to be 5.8mm thick, as well as the Techno Spark Slim concept that was presented at MWC 2025 with a thickness of 5.75mm.

Google Gemini can now tap into your search history
Google Gemini app on Android.

Google has announced a wide range of upgrades for its Gemini assistant today. To start, the new Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental model now allows file upload as an input, alongside getting a speed boost.
The more notable update, however, is a new opt-in feature called Personalization. In a nutshell, when you put a query before Gemini, it takes a peek at your Google Search history and offers a tailored response.
Down the road, Personalization will expand beyond Search. Google says Gemini will also tap into other ecosystem apps such as Photos and YouTube to offer more personalized responses. It’s somewhat like Apple’s delayed AI features for Siri, which even prompted the company to pull its ads.

Meta’s new Community Notes: all you need to know
Meta community note system on mobile

Meta announced in a blog post that it will begin testing Community Notes soon, allowing people who signed up to add more context to posts across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. The Community Notes feature is like the one present on X, formerly Twitter, but it'll operate a little differently.

The social media company announced Community Notes back in January as a replacement for the third-party fact-checking program that has been in place since 2016, saying it would rely on users across all three platforms to flag misinformation on posts. However, the Community Notes feature will be tested in the United States and expand elsewhere overtime.
