The Display
The Droid 2 uses the same 3.7” 240 PPI IPS screen as the original Droid. In fact, the front of the device seems almost unchanged. The panel is the same, as is Corning gorilla glass. I measured the original Droid and found the display very contrasty and very high PPI due to the smaller size. Again, Motorola uses a relatively unique 854x480 resolution where the norm appears to be 800x480 for most other Android 2.x devices.
The Droid 2 edges out the original in black point and contrast. Keep in mind this measure is at maximum brightness with the backlight all the way on.
Since the Droid 2 isn’t AMOLED, it’s quite readable outside. I haven’t yet passed judgement on how it stacks up against Super AMOLED, but Anand is pretty certain readability is close.
Finally viewing angles and hues are up. The Droid 2 seems to have a slightly warmer hue than I’m used to, it’s a bit obvious when displaying white and comparing to other Android devices or the iPhone 4. I’m not certain which is more true to color, but just be aware. As for viewing angles, the Droid 2 surprised me by not being one of the best.
Turns out the EVO is actually strikingly viewable at extreme angles. There's not much more to say about the Droid 2 display that we haven't already said about the original Motorola Droid—it's the same display and the same glass on top. See the gallery for more shots.
