Motorola Unveils RAZR V XT889 For China – Shows Off Handsome Good Looks
Motorola just announced a pair of devices now available for China, the higher-end of which was a Razr variant unlike what we have stateside. Say hello to the Motorola Razr V XT889. While there wasn’t too much revealed as far as detailed specs of the device (only 4.3-inch display, 8MP shooter), what I found most interesting was its unique design.
A clear departure from the corner-less design we’re seeing from Motorola here in the US. While not everyone will appreciate this style, I have to say I’m quite fond of this industrial, sharp edged, block-like body. You’ll notice the glass abruptly stops before reaching the top and bottom of the device, exposing a grill for the earpiece. The phone comes out of the box with Android 4.0 and other than that, it looks like it’s pretty much your average spec’d Razr. Just thought I’d share a little phone pr0n with y’all. Full press release below.
