Today, mobile phone maker Motorola Mobility and wireless carrier Verizon Wireless are expected to unveil to the world a new handset running under Google's Android operating system, namely the Motorola DROID RAZR.

The duo already announced that they will be launching a new smartphone today, one that will prove Faster, Thinner, Smarter, and Stronger, but they did not offer any further details on the device.

However, courtesy of a photo extracted from the teaser video Motorola and Verizon put in place for the new smartphone (via Android Police), we can now have a look at it before the official unveiling is made.

The handset, supposedly set to hit the shelves as the Motorola DROID RAZR, will take is place in Verizon's lineup of LTE capable devices next to the Motorola DROID Bionic.

The image above does not offer too much info on the smartphone, but we do get a chance to have a look at the thin profile that this device will arrive on shelves with.

All in all, the smartphone should prove a great addition to Verizon's offering, at least this is what the marketing materials Motorola published suggest, along with the leaked specifications on the phone's hardware.

The new DROID RAZR is expected to hit the market with a dual-core application processor inside, with each core clocked in at 1.2GHz, as well as with support for Verizon's LTE network.

The smartphone is also said to include a large 4..3-inch touchscreen display on board, as well as with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for HD video recording.

It runs under the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, though we would not be surprised if Motorola announced that it will receive Ice Cream Sandwich soon, especially now that Google is preparing to take over.

As stated above, all these detail on the new Motorola phone are only rumors for the time being, but they should all be put to a rest in several hours, so stay tuned to learn the news.
