Hasta La Gadget!

It’s been nearly a year since Motorola unveiled a trio of Droid Razr handsets, but all signs point to a new lineup at Verizon’s NYC event today. Will we get a look at the much-rumored Droid Ultra, not to mention an updated version of the long-lasting Droid Razr Maxx? Whatever today’s press conference has in store, one thing seems pretty clear: Motorola’s gearing up for a change in its handset nomenclature, and you’ll want to tune in to see what’s in store. We’ll be liveblogging the carrier’s announcements starting at noon ET — hit up this link to follow along!

Over the past couple of weeks we’ve seen leaked photos of the Motorola Droid Ultra leaked, and press renderings as well, and now thanks to a newly leaked photo (via Houdabao), it seems that Verizon owners can look forward to […]

If you think a red version of the rumored Droid Ultra just wouldn’t be special enough, you’re in luck. Frequent Motorola device leaker Houdabao claims to have photos of a Limited Edition model that would include a wrap-around racing stripe, much like a decked out muscle car. Unfortunately, there isn’t much more to share. While Houdabao echoes talk of the Droid Ultra sporting a 5-inch LCD and a 6mm thick body, he doesn’t outline the Limited Edition’s full feature set. There’s also no mention of its intended audience — it may be only for Verizon staff, like the red Droid RAZR. Should the special-run Droid Ultra reach the public, though, there’s a chance we’ll learn more about it tomorrow. Check out a second photo of the Limited Edition after the break.

If you were worried about the legitimacy of the leaked image shown last week depicting the DROID ULTRA complete with bright red stripe down its back, you weren’t alone. What’s appeared today, however, is a lovely bit of leak showing the same unit, this time with a much more photographically sound angle on it – that’s a Limited Edition of the unit if ever we’ve seen one. Here the DROID ULTRA comes out to play for Verizon employees – or the very lucky.

This machine is aimed at being the upgrade of the DROID RAZR HD, the smaller of the two RAZR devices in the carrier’s current Motorola-made smartphone lineup. There’s also the DROID RAZR M, of course, but this is in terms of battery capacity. Here the DROID ULTRA carries what’s almost certainly an upgraded higher-definition display and an expanded bit of ruggedness as well.

This variant of the DROID ULTRA suggests that though both Motorola and Verizon will be going all-in when it comes to the Moto X, they’re still not forgetting their virtual handshake in the DROID brand lineup. This version of the machine could also very easily be the DROID MAXX, the larger of the two full-sized smartphones as far as battery capacity, this based on past iterations of this special edition red stripe – MAXX it’s always been.

This machine – minus the stripe – will quite likely be revealed at the Verizon event coming tomorrow – that’s July 23rd of this month, mind you. Have a peek at the DROID timeline below to catch up on what this reboot of the DROID series means for you and your decisions in Verizon-bound smartphone upgrades soon. Choices await!
