Motorola and Intel announce the Intel powered RAZR i, powered by 2GHz Intel CPU

Motorola and Intel have today announced their newest phone, the Motorola RAZR i. While it certainly feels odd to be writing about an Android phone with a lower-case i in the name, it certainly doesn’t feel awkward to talk about this phone.

Motorola and Intel have announced the Motorola RAZR i, which is basically the same device as the Motorola RAZR M (in all of its bezel-less glory). However, there are a couple major differences. The RAZR i is powered by a 2GHz Intel which is supposedly 40% more efficient than the competition.

This chip allows it to automatically launch into the camera (through a dedicated hardware button on the side) and take up to 10 snaps within a second. Pretty amazing if you ask me.

In the video below you’ll hear that Motorola has apparently said that the combination of the Intel chip and the 2,000mAh battery inside will get you 20 hours of battery life.

Jim Wicks, senior vice president, Consumer Experience Design, Motorola Mobility said:

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 … RAZR i delivers just that when you put an Intel-fast processor in a beautifully designed phone and add in extra long battery life.

Erik Reid, general manager, Intel’s Mobile and Communications Group said:

Motorola RAZR i with Intel Inside naturally blends together the value propositions of high performance Intel Architecture and great battery life, Motorola Mobility device innovation and the Android™ platform … Intel’s goal is to provide compelling technology options that translate into great user benefits and experiences. RAZR i is a great proofpoint in the collaboration and we’re thrilled to be working with Motorola to bring this edge-to-edge experience enhanced with Intel Inside to people around the world.

The RAZR i will be available in the U.K., France, Germany, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico with more to be announced soon.

    I seriously do hope we get this phone here, because its on either my Christmas or Birthday wish list!!!

      We’re definitely getting the RAZR M, which is very very similar. :)

        Well either the Razr M or Razr i will hopefully either be good for the Christmas/Birthday list.

        But thinking about it a little bit more, do you think the Motorola might come out with the next Nexus phone or tablet perhaps??

          Probably not actually. Google want to make it clear that Moto and Google are separate companies, so will probably go above and beyond to ensure they keep this image.

    I usually don’t like Motorola’s UI, but this transparency is to die for.

    wow 2ghz i remember a time when that wasn’t even conceivable in high end PCs lol hell many PCs still have less then 2ghz all be it with multiple cores but still amazing, plus its in that downright sexy bezel-less shell.

    i just hope they back it up with the RAM, GPU and HDD to match will be utterly pointless if they only give it 1gb of ram, a nothing gpu and only 16gb of hdd, which all sound fantastic in devices atm (gnex anyone) but if your moving on to cpu power like that everything else needs to take the leap too or it will go to waste…oh and that better be jelly bean lol

    also is that gorgeous clock/weather widget motoblur thing?
