Motorola has launched 2 new devices in the USA. Both are part of the ‘RAZR’ family and run Google’s Android operating system.
The RAZR M has a 4.3” Super AMOLED display which runs edge-to-edge meaning that there is virtually no border/bezel to the side of the device screen. Such technology means a smaller phone that offers up to 40% more screen than the competition.
The larger screen makes media playback more immersive, makes for better on screen typing and a generally enhanced user experience. All the other features such as WiFi come as standard, and there is 4G on board too. We are unlikely to see this in the UK/Europe.
It will be available in Black or White. See it in action in the video below.
The second device to be announced was the RAZR HD that boast a 4.7” display and is designed for watching up to 10 hours of movies.
Both devices feature:
- Chrome for Android, giving you a personalized Web experience anywhere you go
- Google Play, offering access to 600,000+ apps and games, millions of books and songs thousands of movies and TV shows
- Google Maps for Android for voice-guided, turn-by-turn directions
- Voice Actions for Android, letting you control your phone with your voice
- Google+, which can automatically upload your photos to a private album online
- YouTube for watching exclusive videos and live events in HD quality
- Android 4.0.4, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, upgradeable

About Clove
Actually I heard that the RAZR M will be avaible in the UK.. but I’d rather take the RAZR HD MAXX.. hope something similar is comming to the UK.

Comon! Give UK the MAXX HD!!!
we want high end hardware, not just mid range. Sure the razr I is impressive, but intel still have a way to go with future medfield chips.
Just get the MAXX HD over so we have a phone that will last untill then. We need phones that will last 2 years because of the carriers contracts. And the hardware needs to keep up with the software & OS over that period. We deserve the maxx hd!
Google, drop that moto barrier and kick them up the butts. I’m still using Atrix and stuck on gingerbread, dont let me down again!
When Razr m will be available?
As far as we know the Razr M will not be coming to Europe. We have the very similar Razr I available for sale on our website: http://www.clove.co.uk/motorola-razr-i The main difference is the use of a 2GHz Intel processor instead of the Snapdragon S4 in the M
Hi Dave,
As far as we know the MAXX HD is US only. If you are able to source one and it does support the correct frequencies then yes it should work fine.
