The DROIDZ smartphones run a customized version of Android that uses Torque’s DROIDZ Flex Technology which enhances the graphics processing powers of the handsets. 

What I like about these new smartphones is that they have dual-core processors, dual-Sim and have at-least 5MP camera with flash. They also have Android Ice Cream Sandwich or Jellybean OS. If i would choose, I prefer the Droidz Blast because it is not to big and already has 8MP camera just like the other 2. What i don't like about them is the 512MB of RAM, it would be much better if it has 1GB or more. There is no specific price yet for each smartphone but all of them will be price below P10,000. They are scheduled to be launch in January of 2013.
