Performance
Under the hood, the Motorola DROID 3 runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and is powered by a TI OMAP 4430 chipset with a dual-core 1GHz Cortex-A9 CPU. This setup ensures a smooth performance for basic tasks and multitasking, although users might find limitations when running more demanding applications or games. The PowerVR SGX540 GPU, combined with 512MB of RAM, provides adequate support for media playback and most pre-2011 games. However, users will note the lack of upgradeability to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), limiting access to newer apps and features.
