Motorola's RAZR i MT788 announced with 2GHz Intel chip, heading to China Mobile next month

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/19/motorola-razr-i-mt788-intel/)

Motorola created quite some buzz with its first ["Intel inside" Android](http://www.engadget.com/tag/medfield) phone, the [RAZR i](http://www.engadget.com/tag/razri), back in September, so it's only natural to see the company tapping into the Chinese market with a localized variant. Dubbed the RAZR i MT788, this [China Mobile](http://www.engadget.com/tag/chinamobile) device bears much similarity to its Western sibling on paper: 2GHz Intel Atom Z2480, 4.3-inch 960 x 540 AMOLED display (with Gorilla Glass), eight-megapixel camera, microSD expansion (up to 32GB) and Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

The difference? Well, the chassis is the most obvious one: instead of using the same design as the original RAZR i, the new MT788 looks identical to the MSM8625-powered dual-SIM [XT788](http://cn.engadget.com/2012/11/06/motorola-china-xt788-1-999/) on China Telecom. On top of that, the battery is rated at just 1,735mAh instead of the RAZR i's 2,000mAh, and there's just 4GB of built-in memory instead 16GB; but the front-facing camera's bumped up from 0.3 megapixels to 1.3. There's no price just yet, but interested buyers can pick one up in China starting in mid-December. Will the world's largest carrier help Intel take a significant bite out of the mobile phone market? Only time will tell.
