The Droid Bionic is finally here. After months of speculation and leaked ads, Verizon’s first dual-core 4G LTE phone is now available for order. The Bionic was first announced in January, but was delayed over and over again due to issues with design, Verizon’s 4G network, and performance. Many of the first 4G devices had poor battery life and other issues stemming from the new high-speed network.

Despite being nine months old, the Droid Bionic still packs a punch. The device has a 4.3-inch 960×540 pixel screen, 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP camera capable of 1080p video recording, 16GB of internal storage, 16GB SD card, and, of course, 4G LTE connectivity. And if you like accessories, Motorola has ’em. You can buy a Droid Bionic Battery Dock for $50, a Vehicle Navigation Dock for $40, a multimedia clock dock for $100, and a laptop dock for $300. The phone isn’t cheap either. Motorola and Verizon have priced the phone at $300 with a two-year contract.

To buy the Droid Bionic, head on over to Verizon’s website. Our review and impressions are coming.

5G’s promises are real, but like 4G LTE the full rollout will take time

4G LTE

With all the talk about 5G, it’s easy to forget we barely have true 4G yet. What we have now -- 4G LTE -- is a whole lot better than 3G, but does not reach the speed specifications set by the regulatory body, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The technical standard for 4G is peak speeds of at least 100Mbps for high mobility (when you’re moving quickly) or 1Gbps for more stationary applications.

Since that was fairly unreachable for carriers and manufacturers until recently, the regulatory body allowed those entities to call their offering 4G LTE as long as it substantially improved on 3G. Only now, with the introduction of LTE-Advanced are we beginning to see those promises become a reality, but even still, in real-world conditions, you’re more likely to see speeds in the double digits than the triple digits.

5G Android vs. 4G LTE iPhone: Which is the better choice in 2019?

android vs ios v apps

In a case of history repeating itself, 5G is set to arrive on Android devices before iPhones. Apple is well-known for waiting until innovations hit a certain level of maturity before including them in their products — it’s one of the ways it ensures consistent quality across its products. Those who remember the messy 2011 4G LTE rollout will recall that Apple waited until 2012 to launch its first 4G device. This time around, Apple is reportedly waiting until 2020, while companies like OnePlus, Samsung, and Huawei plan to release 5G offerings this year.

But even if Apple wanted to jump on the 5G bandwagon as quickly as possible, it probably wasn’t an option. The company generally sources its smartphone modems from two different chipmakers: Intel and Qualcomm. However, as Apple and Qualcomm’s relationship has soured over the past few years due to patent and royalty disputes, the iPhone-maker has moved toward sourcing only from Intel.
