A new Motorola Razr which we revealed last week is believed to be the first smartphone to feature an edge-to-edge screen. The device will also come with a brand new Intel processor.The Android 4G device which has already been shown to carriers in Australia will be released on the 18th of September. Observers claim the elimination of the bezel surrounding the screen would allow for a much larger display without a corresponding increase in the size of the device.
The new handset will mark the highest-profile reveal for Motorola Mobility since Google acquired the Company earlier this year.
The device will be one of the first Smartphones powered by an Intel processor and the first for an Android device.
Intel CEO Paul Otellini said in May the smartphone’s his company powers will receive mobile versions of Intel’s Atom processor.
The partnership between Intel and Motorola was announced at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show and will see the new phone powered by Intel’s x86 chip. Although it is said to deliver faster speeds than other phones on the market, there are concerns about the energy use of the new processors which could result in shorter battery life.
Intel designers are trying to balance their mobile processors between performance and efficiency to best compete against Cortex-A15-powered devices, expected to arrive in late 2012 or early in 2013.
