Rated 60% by by The Verge (Apr, 2012)It may be priced below Verizon’s flagship handsets, but its specs are still solid: it connects to Verizon’s awesome LTE network, and features a 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, a 4-inch display, and an eye-catching design.

1.2 GHz
Android 2.3 Gingerbread 4G
Rated 60% by by The Verge (Apr, 2012)Verizon’s LTE network is excellent, and thus so is the Lucid’s data connectivity — though it’s not as fast as some other Verizon devices.
screen size
4.3"
4"
Droid RAZR MAXX by Logan-H (Jun, 2012)IMPORTANT: I have 6'3 large handed the phone is great for me however if you are smaller please handle the phone first it is large the display is large you may struggle to text especially if you use the landscape mode.
Lucid by The Verge (Apr, 2012)I still think four inches is close to the perfect display size, though — it’s large enough to see a lot at once, but small enough that my medium-sized hands can wrap around the phone and my fingers can reach any spot on the screen.
screen resolution
Droid RAZR MAXX by c|net (Oct, 2012)For all the Droid Razr Maxx's speed, picture quality was solid, with clear images and detail.
Lucid by Rose-Dillinger (Aug, 2012)The screen resolution isn't the greatest as you can tell when looking at texts in the browser, but it's good enough to make it look pretty good as well as responsive.
memory
| 0 GB | 1 GB | 1 GB |
processor
Droid RAZR MAXX by Evan (May, 2012)The dual core processor definitely shines also, with web browsing feeling the smoothest I've ever seen on a phone before.
Lucid by Pen-Name (Feb, 2013)the dual-core processor and one gig of ram is nice but it is almost as fast as my droid incredible from 2010.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 8 MP | 8 MP |
Droid RAZR MAXX by J.-Green (May, 2012)My primary complaint with the camera is there is no way (that I've discovered) to change image resolution.
Lucid by The Verge (Apr, 2012)If you’re counting, that’s a lot less than one megapixel, and even the tiny photos you get will be noisy and soft.

Lucid by J.-Onorato--blzbub (Apr, 2012)Lucid's processor is fast, maybe not as fast as the top tier phones, but still plenty fast.
