Motorola Droid Bionic and Upcoming HTC Phones May Spoil Samsung Galaxy S2's Party

The Samsung Galaxy S2 has already wasted a lot of time, missing its summer window to hit the U.S. smartphone market and it isn’t set to launch until Sept.16, when Sprint will launch Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch.

Galaxy S2 has met with other hurdles as well — reluctance from Verizon to offer the phone in its network; uncertainty over the launch of AT&T and T-Mobile's S2 models; delay in the official New York launch event because of Hurricane Irene; and Apple’s legal moves.

With the Motorola Droid Bionic releasing Thursday, it is receiving all the attention in the smartphone arena.

Motorola Droid Bionic:

Motorola Droid Bionic will come at $299.99 with a two-year contract and Zumocast app which offers remote access to videos, pictures, music and document stored on the PC or Mac.
The Android 2.3 powered phone has qHD (540 x 960 pixels, 256 ppi pixel density) TFT display for its 4.3 inch screen and it can feature a movie-friendly 16:9 aspect ratio.
Motorola Droid Bionic boasts of a dual core 1GHz TI's OMAP 4 chipset processor.
The phone comes with 8-megapixel 3264x2448 pixels camera offering 1080p HD video capture. Motorola Droid Bionic is the first Verizon LTE phone to shoot 1080p HD video.
