Pros

• Offers a dual-core 1 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 CPU, so performance is excellent
• Ships with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and the latest build of Motorola's Applications Platform
• 4.3-inch qHD PenTile display offers excellent viewing angles and is very bright
• The wireless radio in the PHOTON 4G is the best we've tested on Sprint to date

Cons

• The PenTile display is noticeably pixelated in comparison to competing high-resolution displays like Retina and Super AMOLED Plus
• It's a bit plasticky and feels cheaper than the HTC EVO 3D

Summary

Motorola knocked it out of the park with the PHOTON 4G, the manufacturer's first WiMAX smartphone.  With a 1 GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 CPU, 4.3-inch qHD display, 8-megapixel camera with 720p HD video capabilities, and Android 2.3, it comes out of the box ready to fight for the top smartphone spot.  Battery life is decent with moderate use, and signal strength is impeccable in both 3G and 4G, making it a great Sprint phone if voice quality is priority.
