Chrome for Android update brings Google browser to Intel-powered smartphones


While the [Motorola RAZR i](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/18/motorolas-razr-i-benchmarks-intel-2ghz-medfield/) hasn't yet hit stores, when it does, it'll now be able to tap into the Chrome Mobile app, following its latest update. We're putting the Intel-powered Android 4.0 phone through the review wringer right now, but have already noticed the lack of Chrome browser support.

Due to the way Intel x86-based devices run apps, the browser required some adjustments, which are now complete. At the moment, the only existing phone that _officially_ runs Android 4.0 on a [Medfield](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Medfield/) processor is the incoming RAZR i, but now any [future](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/24/intel-medfield-lte-quad-core-news/) Intel smartphones will also get the full Chrome experience -- and Motorola gets to keep its [promise](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/05/motorola-shipping-chrome-phones/) of preinstalling the browser on its new devices.
