Intel invades the Motorola RAZR i...

Today, Motorola has announced the U.K. version of the RAZR M dubbed the RAZR i, however all is not normal. The handset features Intel's Atom processor clocked at a mighty 2GHz which correct me if I'm wrong, has never been seen in a un-rooted smartphone before.

All of the specs includes the original Razr M's 4.3-inch SuperAMOLED Advanced display with qHD (540x960) resolution, powered by Intel's Atom single-core processor clocked at 2GHz with 1GB of RAM which runs Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich". Camera's include a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera that starts up in less than 1 second and a VGA resolution front-facing camera for video calls. Internal storage is at 8GB but can be expanded by MicroSD card (up to 32GB).

The handset is available at Expansys for pre-order for a price of £344.99. Price isn't to bad for the specs and the chance to (correct me if I'm wrong) own the first phone with a 2GHz clock speed. 

Motorola announce RAZR HD, RAZR HD MAXX and RAZR M...

Motorola has just announced three new droids, the RAZR HD, RAZR HD MAXX and RAZR M. All devices run Android 4.0 which is a disappointment but will be updated to Jelly Bean by the end of the year. However, the specs of all devices seem pretty impressive. Worth noting that the UK version of the RAZR M will feature Intel's Atom processor.

RAZR HD includes a 4.5-inch SuperAMOLED display with 720p resolution (720x1280), powered by Qualcomm's dual-core S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 1GB of RAM. Camera's include a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls. Internal storage is at 12GB but can be expanded by MicroSD card (up to 32GB).

RAZR MAXX HD includes all of the original RAZR HD's specs except for a larger 3300mAh battery, which is unchanged from the previous MAXX but rest assure that battery life will still be excellent due to Qualcomm's S4 processor.

The RAZR M is a budget device in comparison to the RAZR HD & RAZR MAXX. It packs a 4.3-inch SuperAMOLED display with qHD resolution (540x960), powered by Qualcomm's dual-core S4 processor clocked at 1GB of RAM. Camera's on the device are 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a VGA front-facing camera for video calls. Internal storage is at 8GB but can be expanded by MicroSD card (up to 32GB).

Motorola introduces entry-level MotoSmart...

Today, Motorola has introduced a entry-level Android smartphone, the Motosmart. This phone doesn't have much to shout about given it's specs however it's going to retail in the U.K. for £99.99 on PAYG or £7 on a pay monthly contract which justifies the low level specs featured.

The phone packs a 3.5-inch QVGA (320x480) display powered by a single-core Qualcomm (MSM7227 to be exact) processor clocked at 600MHz with 512MB of RAM. The phone has a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera that lacks a flash. There is 165MB of internal storage with a MicroSD slot to expand it by up to 32GB. The phone runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread and won't be updated due to hardware incompatibility. The 1400mAh battery should see this phone lasting approximately 2/3 days depending on usage.

This is a great phone at a fantastic price but Huawei's G300 from Vodafone which is available at the same price on PAYG (and even cheaper now) gives you more value for money. However Motorola's MotoSwitch  software makes this an ideal choice for first time smartphone buyers.

Motorola announces Defy Pro...

Yesterday, Samsung announced the Galaxy Chat, a BlackBerry style Android phone. Today, Motorola is announcing a BlackBerry style Android phone by the name of Defy Pro. The design of this handset is ridiculously similar to that of the BlackBerry Curve 8900.

The Defy Pro packs a 2.7-inch QVGA (240x320) display, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with another front-facing camera for video calling. It has 2GB of internal storage that can be expanded by MicroSD card (up to 32GB). The device has a physical keyboard is built into the device, much in the same way as the Galaxy Chat by Samsung and seems to be running Android 2.3 without any mention of an update to Android 4.0, we can probably presume that it would be running Android 4.0 if it were compatible by now.
