Motorola Droid 2 Global (A956) Teardown

Phone Teardown

DROID Global supports HSPA and CDMA which is why it is called Global. Like most phones that support any form of CDMA, the core chipset is from Qualcomm. The company did introduce a new chipset partition with this chipset though, and many observers have not identified the components correctly. In addition, when released it was the most powerful phone in the world. Who provided that power?

This report offers details of process technology and die sizes; also PA, power management, Bluetooth, WiLAN, and GPS support, and more. It also includes complete teardowns, including high resolution photos, of each of the chips. Unique board shots, performance measurements, cost information, and board area data are also provided.
