Although they sport very different looks, the Motorola Droid Bionic and Motorola Photon 4G share more in common than it seems, including their status as cutting-edge phones on two of the major carriers. We compare both 4G flagships to help you decide which one best suits your needs.
Complicating the decision for would-be buyers, both devices have extremely similar specs. For starters, both are based around a 4.3 inch, 960 x 540 (qHD) screen, have no physical keyboard, and boast a large battery along with a dual-core processor. For the Photon, this processor is the NVIDIA Tegra 2; on the Bionic, it's a Texas Instruments chip. Run through Quadrant Standard benchmarks, both come out relatively even. The Bionic averages around 2400, the Photon 4G at 2550, but this isn't a difference likely to be noticable to the user. Likewise, both devices sport 16 GB of internal memory. But the Droid Bionic one-ups the competition, by also coming pre-loaded with a 16 GB microSD card, giving it some 32 GB of memory out of the box. The Photon doesn't come with a preinstalled memory card, but you can add any size microSD card you like.
On a technical level, the Motorola Droid Bionic has a few notable advantages over the Photon 4G. But the Photon's ability to take advantage of Sprint's unlimited internet plans make it by far the most attractive choice for a heavy user, particularly if you intend to take full advantage of the phone's capabilities. And the Photon boasts a much more reasonable price tag.
