Motorola RAZR XX Preview

Expected H2 2006
28th July 2006

The Motorola RAZR XX is Motorola's second HSPDA(3.5G) RAZR handset announced this week, alongside the Motorola RAZR MAXX. Quite why Motorola needed to develop two such similar handsets is a mystery, but here it is anyway.

In fairly typical Motorola fashion, there's not much information about the physical characteristics of the RAZR XX at launch. We can't tell you how big it is, how heavy it is or how long the battery will last for. Motorola say that the RAZR XX has a 2.2 inch screen, which indicates that it's probably a 240x320 pixel panel.

It looks very much like the RAZR V3i from the outside, but there are subtle differences in the styling that indicates that this isn't just a V3i with HSDPA crammed into it. To quote Motorola, the RAZR XX has an "updated & streamlined Motorola RAZR V3 design".

Also featured in the Motorola RAZR XX is stereo Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel camera plus VGA secondary camera, microSD expandable memory, an MP3 player and EDGE support in addition to HSDPA and UMTS. Availability should be sometime in the second half of 2006, although no more precise details are known at this point.
