The Motorola RAZR i
Wednesday, September 19, 2012 at 2:15AM The Motorola RAZR i has been announced and has some potential. Admittedly it isn't the best looking smartphone on the market, but to cram a screen that size in the form is impressive.
The Motorola RAZR i is the new edge-to-edge smartphone from Motorola. This impossibly compact Android smartphone also features an Intel processor, making it further stand out from the crowd.
The RAZR i features the same 4.3-inch screen size as its predecessors, the RAZR and the RAZR MAXX. However, thanks to the new edge-to-edge technology engineered by Motorola, the RAZR i is a much smaller device to hold in your hand and pocket. Less bulk, but just as much screen.
It’s not only the RAZR name that the i makes use of, but also the rock-solid build quality that has becomes affiliated with the range. An aircraft-grade aluminium frame encloses the edge-to-edge display, which itself is made from scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass, while the KEVLAR coated back cover adds even further protection. There’s also a water-repellent nanocoating covering the RAZR i, all the way down to the internal electrical boards.

It's using an Intel chip, so bear in mind that (by Intel's estimate) between 5% and 30% of Play Store apps won't work on it.
It's single core, albeit running at 2GHz. Apparenlty it's very good at one or two things and middling at most others. Power consumption not really known but from previews expected to be good for an Intel chip, probably poor compared to an ARM.
Intel's probably going to need at least one or two more attempts before they can really compete. Haswell's looking impressive, but that's very unlikely to make it into anything smaller than a tablet (they'll make bloody good tablets though).
Looks very good. Memory too limited though.
If not having an ARM chip cuts out 5% to 30% (probably closer to 30% for games) of the play store it is not worth it.. Otherwise it is a decent looking device..
The other problem with this device, ICS.. Not even released yet and out of date, I thought Google buying Motorola would have fixed this problem, I guess not...
But it is about £200 cheaper than most high end Smartphones
