Just because Motorola Solutions is separate from the Motorola we all know all love doesn't mean they cannot make phones. In fact, Motorola Solutions makes more than one phone. You likely have not seen any of them because they are not for the consumer electronics crowd. These phones are for public safety employees like police officers, firefighters and EMTs. So it is not surprising that the design is… tough. These phones are no Moto X or DROID Turbo in terms of looks. Durability is what is at stake.

The phone up top is the LEX 700. It is big and it is durable. And it runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with Motorola Solutions' PremierOne software. A dual-core processor clocked at 1.6GHz runs this beast. Remember, public safety employees are using this. At most, they will be using it to communicate and locate quickly. The LEX 700 and devices like it do not require Snapdragon processors and 3GB of RAM to get things done.

Now aren't you thankful for the specifications we have today? Or do you still demand more? Let us know in the comments.
