Google-owned Motorola Mobility has officially unveiled a new Intel-based Android 4.0.4 ICS smartphone, called the Motorola Razr i. Despite its top-end status, the device is also rugged, featuring Kevlar-coating, and a Gorilla Glass display. The Motorola Razr i will be launched in Europe and some parts of the Americas starting October. For now, no pricing details have been revealed.
The Motorola Razr i is powered by a 2GHz Intel ‘Medfield’ Atom Z2460 single-core 32nm processor with Hyper-Threading (implying two threads) coupled with 1GB of RAM. The Medfield Atom Z2460 processor is the same as the 1.6GHz offering on the Lava Xolo X900, but overclocked to 2GHz. This makes us wonder as to battery life and heating issues on the Razr i with its higher-clock, for it was something the Lava Xolo X900 itself faced.
The Razr i features a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Advanced display with a 540×960 pixel (qHD) resolution. It also bears an 8MP autofocus camera with LED flash and 10fps burst mode, capable of 1080p HD video recording, and HDR. It also features a 0.3MP front-facing camera.
Other specifications of the Motorola Razr i include 8GB of built-in storage (5GB user-available), active noise cancellation with dedicated mic, and a 2,000 mAh battery. In terms of connectivity options, the Razr i features 3G, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n with DLNA and hotspot functionality, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP and EDR, NFC, and microUSB v2.0.
The Motorola Razr i is styled much like the Atrix family, with a similar form factor and design. It is just 8.3mm thick, and weighs in at 126 grams – admirable, with the Kevlar-coating. It runs on a 2,000 mAh battery, which according to Motorola, will provide at least one full day of continuous use.
