Motorola Citrus first hands-on! (update: video!)
Posted in: hands-on, motorola, Today's Chili, video
The Droid Pro’s certainly got the spotlight at Motorola’s CTIA 2010 event, and for good reason — this Motorola Citrus is slow and crippled by comparison. It’s a iffy little entry-level device with a Blur-like UI and a fairly functional Android 2.1, but a lethargic 524MHz MSM7525 processor and 3-inch touchscreen with a resolution so small you can see individual pixels without squinting. UI browsing and surfing was laggy too, though we did like the device’s comfortable-to-hold size and dedicated physical Send / End keys — not to mention the the Backflip-like trackpad on the back. Let’s hope this one arrives at a price low enough to woo the mainstream, because we’re honestly having a hard time calling the Citrus a smartphone.
Update: Now with screenshots and a test image from the Citrus camera!
Update 2: Video of the Citrus and the Motorola Droid Pro after the break.
