Motorola Droid X2 has Tegra 2

Another design win
Samsung's own dual-core has already reached 1.2GHz but Nvidia still thinks that its 1GHz is enough. It certainly managed to convince Motorola to chose Tegra 2 for its Droid X2 phone.

The US will get this phone on the May 26th and it’s a Verizon device.  We can confirm that it packs a 4.3-inch display in 960x540 resolution. It also comes with HD video recording and 8 Mpixel auto focus camera. The phone should launch with Android 2.2, but there is a big promise that Gingerbread will come to it soon enough. The phone has HDMI and USB and it will most likely use a dock, similar to the one that you seen with AT&T’s Motorola Atrix.

Nvidia took its time to contact us and confirm that the dual-core is Tegra 2, but traditionally Motorola doesn’t want to highlight any components in its phones, they only like to promote the Motorola brand.

The phone will also support mobile hot spot, with up to five devices and the new interesting thing for Droid X2 is the SWYPE keyboard that we’ve seen on some Samsung phones. If you like Verizon and $199 is not too much for you, you should be able to grab one next week. There is still no announcement on a possible European launch of this phone, or a European version of it.
