The comparisons began before the phone even arrived. With Motorola setting a press conference date the day before the long-awaited iPhone 4 launch date, the stage was set for a battle royale, and Motorola delivered with a surprisingly fit challenger that came out swinging. Now that both contenders have weighed in, it’s only natural to run the stats side-by-side to see which phone prevails. After getting in a few hard-hitting jabs at Apple’s soft spots with the original Droid, does Motorola have what it takes to return to the ring and knock out the spunky new kid? Before you call your bookie, check out the numbers.

Display. 
Winner: Apple iPhone 4. 
As we noted on our comparison of the HTC EVO 4G and Apple iPhone 4, it’s really a matter of taste here, but we’re not above calling it. While Apple’s 3.5-inch display is smaller than the Droid X’s 4.3-incher, it’s also significantly higher in resolution. With 960 by 640 pixels on the iPhone 4 and only 854 by 480 on the Droid X, you’re looking at total pixel counts of 614,400 to 409,920 pixels. Why prioritize pixels? While a larger screen might strain the eyes less, higher resolution means sharper graphics, crisper text, and ultimately more screen real estate, which means less annoying scrolling on Web pages and long documents.

Processor. 
Winner: Draw. 
Despite predictions that the Droid X would use the same 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor found in most other top-tier Android Phones these days, Motorola pulled an unexpected X-factor out of its hat on Wednesday by revealing that it would stick with the same Texas Instruments OMAP processors found in many other phones, including the old Droid, but ramp clock speed all the way up to 1GHz. Even attempting to get a rough feel for which might best which is difficult: No other phone has used a TI OMAP chip clocked at 1GHz so far, and although we know the iPhone 4 will use the same A4-family processor found in the iPad, we don’t know how fast it will be running, making a comparison, even on paper, worthless.
