Motorola’s Razr range of smartphones gets an Intel makeover with the launch of the Motorola RAZR i XT890 Smartphone. Besides the embedded Intel chipset, this stylish handset boasts many other commendable features that are bound to catch your "eye." A closer look will reveal much more:

External Aspects of Motorola RAZR i XT890 Smartphone:

The first glance itself manifests that the Motorola RAZR i XT890 is neatly constructed and looks sleek. The chassis is composed of a relatively slim 122.5 by 60.9 by 8.3-millimeter (length, width, depth) frame weighing 126 grams. These dimensions are enviable considering that the phone embeds a sizeable screen. Solidity is furnished thanks to the largely aluminum components that make the phone sturdy and free of discernible squeaks. Further, the back panel is covered by Motorola’s innovative Kevlar scratch-resistant layer imparting increased ruggedness. 

The 4.3-inch display is the dominant design aspect. The screen comprises a capacitive multi-touch LCD touchscreen harnessing the Super AMOLED technology and a top resolution of 960 by 540 pixels. Furthermore, the display has a density of 256 pixels per inch and supports 16 million colors. All these features assure vibrant colors, bright visuals, and sharp detailing albeit with some disappointing white contrasts. The sheathing of Corning Gorilla Glass 2, the presence of a very thin bezel, and good overall viewing angles also strengthen the screen and viewing experience. The screen encompasses a VGA camera over it and 3 touch-receptive navigational buttons below. 

The Motorola RAZR i XT890 will be available in white and black shades. 

Operating Highlights of Motorola RAZR i XT890 Smartphone:

• The Motorola RAZR i XT890 provides an 8-GB internal storage that is expandable to 32 GB by means of the included memory card slot.   
• The high-powered 2000 mAh Li-Ion battery furnishes close to 20 hours of talk time on a single charge. Sadly, though, the battery cannot be replaced by the user.
