原文: Motorola's revealed the first smartphone to be borne from its
team-up with Intel. Here in London, UK, it's a familiar-looking
Android smartphone with an important internal difference. The RAZR i
will be running on one of Intel's latest mobile chips (2GHz processor),
differentiating it from what we saw from the Google-owned phone-maker a
few weeks earlier. Motorola's calling the phone its biggest launch in
the UK since the original RAZR.
Motorola's touting the (almost "edge-to-edge") 4.3-inch AMOLED display,
2,000mAh of battery and the same Kevlar coating -- it's water repellent
this time. But this event is also about Intel's 2GHz processor inside.
The chipmaker says it's optimized the architecture for web browsing,
especially for Java-based activities. It's also pushing for power
consumption even on processor-intensive activities like gaming -- but
we'll have to wait for our own tests to check it out. The RAZR i
also packs a similar 8-megapixel camera and interface to those other new
Motorola phones, with under a second start-up to get the camera app
running -- we bet that dedicated camera button helps there. Intel made
similar promises with the Orange San Diego, but were already intrigued
by that Vanilla-looking interface. NFC is already baked in, with
Android Beam taking control of what you need, while its bootloader
arrives unlocked. The RAZR i appears to be packing some iteration of
Android 4 -- but we're still checking on whether it'll be coming with
ICS or the newer Jelly Bean. The phone will arrive in the likes of UK,
France, Germany and Brazil -- but no news on whether it'll appear inside
North America's borders.
