As expected, Motorola today unveiled its first Intel-powered smartphone, the Motorola RAZR i, at an event in London. It is very similar to the recently announced RAZR M, with the processor being the key difference.
“Together with Intel, we’re redefining what people can expect from a mobile device. A camera that launches in an instant, Web pages that load blazingly fast and a device that’s the perfect balance of screen size and fit in hand,” said Jim Wicks, senior vice president, Consumer Experience Design, Motorola Mobility. “RAZR i delivers just that when you put an Intel-fast processor in a beautifully designed phone and add in extra long battery life.”
