  • it is upgradable to 4.4.4 but not lollipop

  • Droid ultra not upgrade kitkat to lollipop why??

  • Droid maxx/mini/ultra do not supports indian 4g service, mean these models do not support TDD 2300,2600,2100 and 1800mhz lte band.

  • My Motorola Droid Maxx Not Working 4G Why?..

  • are you still using droid ultra in 2017? is there any lag issues etc? someone is selling droid ultra for 65$ should i get it?

  • Had phone for over 2 1/2 years. Has decent processor. Not blazing fast, but adequate for my purposes. The charging port was a problem. It came loose internally. I received a replacement through insurance though. I think all in all Motorola makes decent phones. I invested in the Otter Box defender case when I purchased the phone. I highly recommend getting one. They are worth every penny. I have dropped my device more times than I could possibly remember, and it has provided outstanding protection.

  • how to update motorola ultra max xt1080 to latest android version like lolypop 5.0 or mashmallow 6.0 regards

  • I've owned the Droid Ultra for about 3 years now, pretty much as long as its been available. At the time of purchase I also bought the OtterBox case that was offered through Verizon and 1 complaint I have now is its so old the battery doesnt last the day like it used to and it cant be replaced and 2 you can not add additional storage with an SD card so doesnt take much to run out of space

  • How to upgrade kit kat to lollipop?? plzz give me idea

  • when is droid ultra getting lollipop update

  • Its a good phone for most of the time, I had i locking in a two year contract and it served its purpose well, however the last 6 months of my plan the phone glitched 4x more than normal. Honestly, I'm not going to stick with this phone anymore I'm going to upgrade, it was a good phone but only for 75% of the time. The battery life slowly died over time, and it kept heating up. Apps glitch out, and my screen will sometimes go black and be unresponsive. My key board will come up and I have to shut down my phone to get it back to normal. None of that happened in the beginning so, I wouldn't recommend it for more than a years use. If i use my phone all day I get about 1/2 a days worth of battery before having to plug it in. in the beginning I had 2 days worth. I also have an app on my phone to cool it down because it heats like all hell... just my personal experience. My mother has an Android and that too heats like hell, and battery life sucks.

  • why its front cam shows pink faces

  • You need to transfer the MP3 files that you want to use as a ringtone to the Ringtones folder on the phone.

  • hello i am open the camera and the screen was black and show the error "restart camera " so pls let me known this is software problem or hardware problem & my sodtware version 4.4.4 pls help & reply

  • It's simple...erase update

  • Two Droid Maxx, pretty much the same complain. After 4.4.4 update camera was working fine and dandy for few days. After that I started getting error messages, "restart camera app" when ever I would launch the camera app. On launching there would be a BLANK screen with two NON-WORKING buttons on the bottom (one for swaping front-back camera and other for movie). Initially restarting the phone helped but now even that is not helping. After 3 days of camera not working, suddenly the camera worked for 20 minutes and replaced again with the BLANK screen anubody help me please solve the solution

  • For internal memory use Es file explorer

  • You can't.You need to enlist the file manager on your phone. It has in Google Store.

  • I think x8 proseccor is very impressive. Phone is really snappy n fast in all kind of operation. Battery backup is decent. Its around 12 hours till its last breath. Design is really attractive. Its a very glossy plasticy structure. Its by far the thinnest LTE phone I have seen plus it has a large display. Surprisingly it fits your hand magically. "OK Google Now" is a very nice feature. You can command your phone without even touching it. Dialer is boring. Speaker n call quality is good. Touch interface n screen are smooth. Camera is a big disappointment. Memory is less. In totality its a good buy. I have been using it from last 2 days.

  • how can i access to my internal storage in Motorola droid ultra ?

  • Good handset

  • Hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time

  • How can i take a snapshot ?

  • Does it support otg

  • how did you do that ?

  • if battery out of order what to do? replacement possible

  • its Awesome

  • Moto is Love :)

  • You are right its awesome

  • i love moto

  • Droid Maxx.32gb and battery,really impressive,3500mAh...

  • The same machine like Moto X,but...thinner(7,2 mm,larger(5 inches),black,unique initial screen and droid widget,droid ringtones,crystal sound on both speakers and on mic...i really love in MY droid ultra!

  • motorola droid ultra r droid ultra maxx which is the best smart phone.

  • Nope

  • Finally my!The first phone.....i'm in love in MY DROID ULTRA!

  • It's much more reliable smart phone to use batter then cheap galaxy mobile of SAMSUNG -_-

  • Can it be used with straight talk sims cards

  • Great phone, the slimmest phone with a 5 inch display. Its voice command is the stand apart feature. Internet browser is quite fast. Battery is good. Music player is fantastic. Look wise this is smartest looking. Anybody who want a smart performance can have it but you have to purchase from abroad....

  • I got this phone a few days back. Internet and camera is really good. Slim and looking awesome. I don't know if this is dual SIM or not. So far not used to the Hand free technology... But this really helpful.... So far this is not available in India I think... Good one... Close to Galaxy S4 in my opinion.

  • droid maxx, break the record of droid ultra. reason is droid ultra has 16 gb internal memory and droid maxx have 32 gb internal memory, as both have no card slot + droid maxx battery are more heavy then dorid ultra, and the most important thing that there is only 1000/- to 1500/- pakistani rs. differnece among 16 and 32 gb. which is superb

  • number 1, cell phone according to price in todays cell phone market. only one very minor week point is (no card slot)

  • i really liked the phone. especially the touchless control far better than iPhone's SIRI. Siri is not even 25% closer to the toucless control. i set alarm for 4 am and then later changed time to 4.45 am and slept. then at 4.45 am without any issue the phone woked-up me. really amazing, i am calling and texting from the phone, without touching it. the only problem is fingerprint magnetic body. But i covered all the backside with transparent lamination. so the problem also vanished. superb battery life and camera also good though not best. look is fanstatic. But why the critics gave the phone only 6 to 7 points out of 10, i do not understand.

  • Now have 4.4.4 android, now is update and it is really great but camera have not setting good. i can not change quality of video and MP of picture...

  • dear sir how can i share pc internet with droid ultra

  • Felix28 In most cases, we are jumping directly to 4.4.4, which contains some important security features. A few software loads that had cleared approval on 4.4.3 will go out but I'm not sure if any of those will be available to all regions.

  • Fayazmex I think you will find this document useful, shows where and how to activate the notification light.

  • plz get informed me where is notification light for sms email snd missed call i tired to find it....thanks

  • this device update to 4.4.3 next weeks

  • update to 4.4.3?

  • There is a Saying in Hindi that: Naam bade Darshan Chote... It has Features but it will Hang/Problemo Phone...

  • greatest speeches.

  • you are big lie i have ultra about 6month . my friend have galaxy s4 . my phone open apps and game very fast . and beter than s4 . he's s4 even have lag when he want go into galery ((: pls dont write here lie . you never see ultra expect in these site's .

  • it does not even come close to the s3..i got the ultra and used it for a while and switched back to my s3..i wouldn't use the ultra for a paper weight..its junk

  • some of them are saying that networks are blocking the imei no. as it is not in their data base(in india)

  • Sire Why Wont U Call To Your SIM Operator & Know The Frequency For You SIM AT MEXICO & USA So You Can Have No Issue With The Handset Usagae.

  • I need help. I live in the us and visit mexico often so I have the mexico plan, but my ultra won't let me call US from there. Is there perhaps some setting I need to change?

  • Yes its work with CDMA or GSM

  • Will this phone work in India with gsm carriers and is the phone factory unlocked by default?????

  • This is a brilliant phone, great looks power and all that.... But the reason i am not gunna buy it is because there is no SD card slot... big mistake taking that one out.. :P

  • is assumed that this free to operators outside USA just have to insert the sim card and enter and switch to UMTS networks

  • Can i unlocked this phone? I have a US version of this. I want to use this phone here in the philippines.

  • No SD card capability S-U-C-K-S !!!!!

  • LOVE This phone. Great Battery life-can go all day, facebook, texts, emails, calls and by 8pm still have 30 percent left of life. little big for small hands-but getting very used to phone. wish call sound was little better, overall one of the best phone's i have owned. another con, not too many otterbox designs available for it--unlike the iphone that has hundreds of designs lol.

  • that card slot is for the 4g not a sim car

  • Yeah it does you take out the volume tray and thats where the card goes!

  • i get this phone and now use in india . you just need to buy unlock phone and use it in all world with gsm carrier / ultra is awsome phone ((:

  • awsome phone.

  • Well Motorola now being a Google company, their phones will not have SD card now as they promote Cloud services such as Drop box.

  • it seems like a good phone but it's only dual core, no SD card slot and the 4G network it connects to doesn't seem to be widely vailable. this phone would have been better if they added a card slot since 16Gb of internal memory is really small and the 4G should have included 1800 and 23oo MHz ..

  • really don't have card slot? wtf!

  • why your not selling motorola droid ultra,mini&maxx in India? we dream&hope sooo this device to take but only in USA your selling

  • I Want to know the performance indicators of this set. If any body can enlighten me on tnis mobile phone. because I intend to purchase it. Moreover can this set be used in Pakistan?

  • is this phone can be used in the philippines?

  • Nice phone configuration but one huge problem micro sd card slot.

  • Nice phone configuration but one huge problem micro sd card slot.

  • I agree with you, man. For me, I have 5+ GB of music and 45+ GB of videos and series. But it's not like I'm gonna need all those files with me everytime and wherever I go! During trips, I transfer some unwatched movies or series episodes on my device from my major storage (company laptop) because that'll be the time I know I'm gonnan have time to watch. Aside from that, microSD cards are also prone to damage. My friend's microSD card just recently got problems and his tablet was unable to read it. Sorry for saying this but I really can't understand storage junkies. I think they're not maximizing their resources. I'm not even using cloud services.

  • just want to say about this phone... UGLY

  • This is the that you have to try.People you might have rejected it because of its micro SD slot but you cant forget its power

  • This is week number 3 with the ULTRA so far so good. The phone is very snappy on bootup and web browsing,the X8 mobile computing platform is amazing.I'm not having the battery issues people are describing here. I have my screen to auto brightness and use the task manager to close everything out when I finish using the phone.I have used the phone since 6:00am this morning it is 7:39pm US Central ,and I have 26% battery life left. The build quality of this phone is second to none, almost a seamless design. The storage issue for me is solved by Google Drive cloud service, I am automatically billed $5.00 a month for 100GB,so if you keep the internal memory cleaned up 16GB should be plenty,I haven't hit the email overload yet. I highly recommend this phone to anybody esp someone that really appreciates quality build materials and precision design inside and out.

  • Not sure how WiFi is the answer to be able to use everything in the 'Cloud'. Not everyone carries Wireless Routers around with them when they're travelling.

  • Would you care to discuss access and transfer rates differentials between a class 10 micro sd card and VZW's 4g ( when you can get it) or a wifi connection provided one is near an access point. There are more items to store on the sd card than music. All movies, pictures, apps (along with state data (game progress) should be stored on an SD card. This data is now portable. Please do not underestimate the degree of privacy that you lose when storing ANY data at someone else's site (eg: "cloud" or what ever marketing buzz word is in vogue today), especially the likes of either Google or Amazon. I recently completed installing a Map Reduce environment,Hadoop, at our laboratory. Hadoop provides the ability to chew through, sort and collate PB of diverse data in short order. If anyone routinely stores data on a public google site, google will know more about you than you do.

  • Very disappointed that Google has removed the micro SD slot. I hope others will express their disappointment as well.

  • RE: only 10 megapixels: HTC's latest offering only has 4 megapixels, but they get an image that's competitive with Nokia's 43 megapixel camera by using a larger image sensor. There's so much more to an images uality than the number of pixels. RE: no SD card slot: The most popular reason for extra storage is for music and movies, but Google's running free cloud services that this phone accesses like a dream. Why store it on your portable media if you can store it in their cloud and download it as needed? My music collection is over 96GB and I'd need 64GB internal storage plus a 64GB SD card to carry it all. But as it's ~20,150 songs, with duplicates, I can keep the entire thing on my Google Play account without any problems and without using a single byte of storage (except for caching). Welcome to the future, try using the new technology we have, it's wonderful. (I know some people are against the cloud because of privacy issues. I don't see how music violates this. Also, i get your data plan may not support downloading all the time. That's what wifi is for.)

  • Moto has always had SD-slots and used Transflash (Micro SD) long before anyone else. However, now that Google is in charge there's no moe SD slot. That wouldn't be so bad if it had larger internal memory. At least 32GB for this version, and 64GB for the MAXX version.

  • This phone naturally scores a 20000 on Antutu Pro and shows that capability in real life function. I don't even feel the need to root it to speed it up. THE ONLY complaint I have is the battery's longevity. It's way better than than the S3 I had and beats the iPhone 5 into the ground... and the 4G is WICKED FAST. GAMES PLAY WITHOUT A HITCH.

  • Just want u to alight me on how to operate my motorola android ultra¤

  • Just want u to alight me on how to operate my motorola android ultra¤

  • looks like a crossbreed of lg p880 and htc onex :p

  • totally agree with you.

  • good phone

  • What a stupid decision to release such a beautifully designed phone without a card slot good luck to your failure. Motorola never learn market expectation. Advise you to get out of hp business

  • i want buy this phone

  • it's the same one.

  • It's a new S4 Pro with krait 300 cores (it's like a Qualcomm S600 on the GS4 or One but with dual-core. At the same time it has two other cores for sensors, google now, stand-by mode and camera.

  • hmm, strange, s4 pro and dual core?

  • any news if the camera is similar to the one in moto X? thanks

  • I need extra sd card-slot. Even 32G is not enough.

  • Another one who knows nothing about camera quality? I suppose you would rather have a higher MP count, but crap image quality? Get some knowledge and stop spamming.

  • why did there operation moved out of india, anu how good handset

  • Too late ....

  • Good to me. I hope this phone will come to my country

  • Good to me. I hope this phone will come to my country

  • yucks!!! 10MP in the year 2013?

  • Go snuggle with your HW benchmarking phone and stop spamming here. I'm sure you take good comfort in high benchmarks despite low real life perfomance and lag with your phone.

  • Saw it on phonedog channel .one word Awesome. Better than i phone.natural voice function fast camera ultra fast graphics made me crazy.if u guys like or not but i love this phone range.its rockz.

  • It is not a dual core. Even if you don't count the GPU which is quad core, you still have the two other cores for sensors, microphones and google now, camera, notifications. AND if you count the GPU, which should actually count since they integrated it in a very innovative way to work as "cores", you get why this phone is not a dual core only.

  • hahhaha what a spec .. rip motorola .. to little to late

  • It's a dual core processor, even if it says X8.

  • nice phan

  • Actually this phone will use the new x8 processor from motorola which is not a dual-core processor per-say. It works like an octa-core. I am really curious how this phone will work in real life.

  • The phone is not dual core. GsmArena doesn't want to say it uses Motorola's new X8 CPU.

  • How cn u say dual core is slow?How many apps need quad core?Using a pc with a dual core processor is more than enough.Some people are just blind

  • No it's not slow , actually it's performing faster than any phone on the market when it comes to feel and graphics. It shows 155 fps in GPU 3D Egypt benchmark - record high. It has dual CPU + quad GPU + 1 for processing voice + 1 for sensors. Check out more on their new "computing" technology.

  • very correct dude!

  • i suggest youll read this...

  • Nice looking phone well done. But dual core so slow. need quad core. at least a snap dragon 600. well behind the times with this. other than that. nice phone,

  • Its reaily nice, I hope to have one.

  • It's a pity that idiots who don't understand phones will always crib and criticize the Droid Ultra's existence. * One of the best looking phones on the market * Does not need 1080p since the pixel density is high enough to not be made out by the human eye * Should look really brilliant since it is a OLED non pentile display * Because it is 720p, it will perform far better * The X8 processor is the most efficient out there allocating different tasks to different cores (I mean there is one core simply dedicated to noise detection, noise cancelation, voice detection and learning your voice) * Because of its unique processor, it does not need to be a quad core several hands on experiences posted on the internet claim that this is one of the smoothest phones out there meaning the end user experience is just the same as a quad core phone and it also had better graphics * Camera and the cam app seem brilliant * Clear pixel means better low light image capturing. its even got quick shutter response * hardly any changes to stock android This has got to be one of the best phones out this year along with the htc one, the moto x, lg g2 and honami

  • like! we have taste...haha

  • This is my next phone. 720p AMOLED with no pentile is going to be great. The X8 system sounds great and I just love how thin it is! For those complaining: FM radio - really? Is this the 90s? 1080p - even screen makers say you can't notice the difference between 720p and 1080p in such a small screen. battery - 28 hours of mixed use. That's four, yes FOUR more hours of use than the Razr HD even if it has 400mAH less than the previous phone. My only complaints are no hdmi and no sd card, but I guess those are becoming useless features. :(

  • Making phones with seemingly impressive specs is easy. In the Zopo C2 Flagship edition you get 1080p IPS screen with Gorilla glass 2, main 13MP and forntfacing 5MP camera, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage + SD slot and a 1.5 GHz quadcore. All for $322. Good luck using it next to this one though. Even if it's "just" a dualcore with "only" 720p screen and 10MP camera - the Ultra will outperform it on all areas.

  • Lets' get a few things right from wrong shall we? :) Smaller battery, but more power efficient. If you want larger capacity, there's the MAXX version. Both phones are 720p, but this is not a pentile like last years model was. This is much clearer, and it is retina. Upping to 1080p would not make visible difference, it wuld only drain the battery faster and reduce performance. The no SD part I agree with. This is definetly Google's fault, as with their Nexus devices. Why they hate SD cards so much - I don't know. Then you got caught up in cores. Top tip for you: Don't! Getting caught up in this is a terrible idea. You will only get fooled very easily. This does technically have 4 CPU cores - that all run simultaneously. Two powerful ones to run your applications, and two less powerful ones to focus on different parts of the sensors and stock background apps. "Monsters" like S4 and Xperia Z are not really monsters. The S4 needs to use a lot of HW to draw a 1080p resolution, and even so it's still a pentile which means it's isn't really 1080p anyways, and it's size is too small for 1080p so all the power is simply wasted. CPU, GPU and battery power. The Xperia Z has also a wasteful screen resolution, it has real 1080p, but it's also a very bad screen. Finally, the camera. This does not at all have the smallest sensor. And it features Clear pixel technology originally invented by Kodak. This is a unique way of capturing more light over the same area of a image sensor, giving huge improvements in low-light situations. In addition, each pixel is larger than it's competitors, which also makes for better ISO performance. It's likely the same size as the Sony Honami is rumored to be, the largest of the Androids. Don't be blinded by the MP count, as higher count does not improve image quality. On small sensors like this, it actually degrades image quality. It's all to do with the size of the image sensor and lens. Sony Honami will likely be it's only android competitor, but due to not so much larger image sensor than the others and a very MP count, Honami will probably not be as good as the camera in this phone. Not too mention it will not feature Clear pixel. Google/Moto owns this patent now. Honami's only hope is that their G-lens (which isn't great in their cybershot cameras) will significantly outperform the lens of the Ultra. Which I doubt.

  • FAIL!!!!! I currently own the Razr HD (xt925, International GSM version)and I was so, sooo anxious to upgrade to this! Oh, what a huge dissapointment. My phone (last year´s flagship, LAST YEAR) has a 2500mah battery, this one is smaller by far at 2100. Both phones are 720p, yet the higher ppi of my phone makes me quite sure my screen will look better than this one even if mine is 4.65 and this one 5 inches. This one has 16gb of internal memory just like my phone, yet it lacks an SD slot like mine???? What were this people thinking, was this all just so that google could quietly kill motorola and just come up with their own hardware once they make moto dissapear? and then there´s the topper, the dual core final touch. To compete with monsters like the Galaxy S4 and Xperia Z and LG G2, yeah.... NOT. This so called flagship with its lack of good battery, of adequate internal memory, its lack of 2013 levels of processing power, and finally to top it off the smallest camera sensor of ALL of this year´s crop of flagship models, it´s SURE to flop. I hate how the Galaxy S4 looks, but it doesn´t look like I´ll get much choice, no matter how much I´d wissh it. ;(

  • Far to expensive for a dual core device.

  • Seriously Google/Moto? This is sub-optimal in terms of specs for a top end phone unless it is meant to be a mid ranger! 294 ppi?

  • No memory card slote only 16 GB built in memory.....

  • Plese sale in india

  • this means...? ...POWERFUL!

  • Number of cores does not decide neither price nor power of a CPU. Get that in your head please. Single cores can easily outperform dual and quad cores. This has a 5" display, meaning it has 0.4" to go on until it would ever be necessary to up the resolution to full HD. This is retina and it will perform much better and look just as great. Anyhow, if this was Samsung's design, they would call a a quad-core, just like they call their big.little octa cores. In fact, it would be more correct to call this a quadcore, than calling the big.little octa core, because this has 4 CPU cores (2 mains, 1 contextual and 1 natural language processing core) running at the same time. More importantly the GPU is based on Adreno, so 320 has been mentioned. This should work really well.

  • Veery good moto i wait

  • A little expensive considering you don't a Quad core CPU or 1080P screen for $299 on Verizon but it'll have great battery life.

  • Don't need others advices.hope it ll be great hero

  • Nooo radiiooo! why why why??? T-T

  • no worldwide version?! so sad... hope this reach asia-philippines.

  • Details on Motorola�s X8 Mobile Computing System Taylor Wimberly posted the specs for Motorola�s X8 system on a chip. The Mobile Computing System will power Verizon Wireless� new Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx and Droid Mini handsets. According to Verizon, it promises to deliver a �24 percent faster CPU, 100 percent faster GPU [and] twice the RAM.� You can browse the details below and hang on tight for those first benchmarks to trickle out. �A mobile computing system powers the new Motorola devices, as opposed to a standard application processor chip found in every smartphone. This involves eight tightly integrated processors, special algorithms, and sensors. No one except Motorola could create this system. The result is a consumer experience like no other. Below is what it entails and see the next section for what it enables: � Four powerful graphics processors each running at 400 MHz delivering 3.2 million pixel fill rate,16 shader units, 512kb dedicated cached memory and running the Egypt performance benchmark at a blazing 155 frames per second (FPS). Fully compliant with Android Project Butter. � Two ultra fast application processors each running at 1.7 GHz, 28nm low-­power technology, high?speed dual-­channel DDR RAM running at 533 MHz. � One local natural language processor (L?NLP). Motorola proprietary low?power specialized processor with audio sensors, noise estimators, noise cancellation, and speech recognition technology to enable always-on voice based user interaction without sacrificing battery life. � One contextual computing processor (CCP). Motorola proprietary low-power specialized processor that computes contextual data from sensors enabling intelligent mobile computing and always-on display mode. Our main chipset has two CPUs and quad GPUs. We have added two additional low­?power processors (Contextual Processor, Natural Language Processor) in our system design. So we are not saying we have an octa-­core chip, but we have an octa-­core Mobile Computing System. Silicon vendors only like to talk about dual versus quad core main CPUs because that is how they are priced. We have to brand and market our system as opposed to a chip. Our approach is completely different. We have built a custom system around the application processor. For example, the new Motorola devices do not use the battery hungry application processor to do always on audio or display. We have custom designed our system to deliver great experiences without killing the battery. We have built the first tr

  • Really interesting phone from google.:-)

  • Youd'd better firs get to know Krait, then we talk

  • plz i need a Quad core mobile in motorola plz let me know when will it be coming...

  • Display is OLED not Amoled!!

  • There is some thing calld modification. The phones scores higher than current snapdragon 600. and the battery is awesome.

  • Tough phone but requires more than 3000 mAh juice

  • What a waste of phone Battery is that small snapdragon from last year only ducal core ??? they had to make the battery good atleast if they are not that good they should make the battery like 4000mAH waste of phone and money i never had one motorola and i will never buy one

  • big fan of moto
