So far this is the only information that is known about the new Droid X. The newest member of the Droid family is expected to run on Android version 2.2, because most Android smartphone will be receiving this update soon anyway. It's speculated that it will include the new 1GHz snapdragon processor, again as most other top of the line smartphones are now featuring. Internal memory, most likely 8 or 16GB is also a possibility. As for the camera, an upgrade from 5MP to 8MP wouldn't be a surprise being that the phone will be capable of capturing high definition videos at 720p.
