2 GHz on Mobile Phone! Motorola and Intel - Razr I Review

Intel - the leading manufacturer of Chips for Computers and laptops has been missing out in the smart phone Market which has been dominated by ARM based devices. Launched at a London press conference that repeatedly compared the Razr I to the iPhone 4S and new iPhone 5, executives claimed the new phone offers a 50 per cent larger screen in a package the same size as that offered by Apple’s latest model. Can it Beat the Iphone or Galaxy or Even Motorola's Snapdragon Powered Razr HD Maxx. Well, its too early to say that but we present you with the Specs of Motorala Razr I - a Phone with an Intel-fast processor in a beautifully designed phone and add in extra long battery life.

Screen and Design of Motorola Razr I

Motorola Razr I-  Super AMOLED Advanced 960x540 (qHD) display

It includes a gorgeous 4.3-inch side-to-side Super AMOLED Advanced display, which Motorola says gives you more screen and less phone. It’s also very bright and boasts expansive viewing angles. The Best part of the phone is the lack of bezel, as Motorola has offered up an edge-to-edge screen, with only minimal padding above and below. Build quality is excellent thanks to the use of aircraft-grade aluminium and Kevlar on the back. The aluminium in particular gives the handset a premium-feel that just wasn’t present on Motorola’s original Razr and Razr Maxx devices.

Processor of Motorola Razr I

It's the first Motorola handset to sport Intel inside, with the Razr i packing a 2GHz single-core processor – the first time a phone has packed such a powerful single-core chip. Motorola says the biggest benefit of using Intel’s Medfield setup is raw speed. Intel’s partnership with Motorola dates all the way back to Medfield’s January unveil, when they announced that there was a multi-year deal to bring Intel chips to a range of Motorola phones and tablets. As far as we can tell, the Razr I has the same SoC as the Xolo X900 — the first Medfield-powered smartphone — but this time around the chip is clocked at 2GHz, rather than 1.5GHz

The Real Speed of 2GHz comes into play while loading of web pages. It's Pretty fast-  faster than most handsets out there.

'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

Camera of Motorola Razr I

Another impressive feature is the 8MP rear camera, and thanks to the Intel chip the app opens up in under a second. Seriously, press the icon or click the physical shutter button on the right of the Razr i and pow, you're into the camera and ready to shoot.
Auto and tap-to-focus are both present, and the Razr i takes just a second or two to snap an image and return you to shooting mode, ready for the next. And if that is not great, it fetures a Burst mode to let you shoot upro 10 photos in less than a second. There’s also the option to switch to High Dynamic Range (HDR) when shooting in low-light conditions. Initial impressions of the Razr I’s imaging capabilities are really good! The rear camera is capable of capturing 1080p, full HD video, while a front facing, 0.3MP VGA camera can record at 720p.

Final Word on Motorola Razr I

The Motorola Razr i is looking like a quality mid-range phone with impressive performance, intuitive user interface, a handful nice additional features and a hardy design - this is a phone we can get excited about.
If Intel's claim that its processor can provide decent battery life as well as top-notch performance rings true, and networks agree a suitably competitive price with Motorola, the Razr i could well be on to a winner.
Intel, finally has a Phone worth mentioning in its kitty.S. A good Phone overall which looks promising. My advice: Don't buy your favorite smart phone just yet, there are many more innovative handsets coming. 

Food for Thought

 An interesting thing to note is that Razr I won’t be made available in the US and Canada; it’ll only ever see the light of day in Europe and some parts of Latin America (Mexico, Brazil). Intel wants to test the waters in Europe first before venturing to North America! When Intel finally comes to the US, probably with a Motorola phone powered by the 22nm successor to Medfield, it will come prepared.We would love to have the Smart phone wars shift from handset manufacturers
