US-based handset manufacturer has just announced the immediate availability of Motorola RAZR i in Peru.

The smartphone can now be purchased via leading carriers across the country. Potential customers should check with their operators for additional details on the phone's pricing options.

One of the few smartphones equipped with an Intel processor, Motorola RAZR i ships with Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system out of the box.

However, Motorola confirmed that a Jelly Bean upgrade would be available for download for RAZR i in the coming weeks.

As we mentioned earlier, the smartphone is powered by a 2 GHz single-core Intel Atom processor, which is complemented by a PowerVR SGX540 GPU and 1GB of RAM.

“The innovation in this Intel Atom processor ensures all the features that people want in a smartphone: is fast, has low battery consumption and high performance in the execution of applications. It can also power a fast camera that does not miss any important moments in your life,” added Guillermo Deffit, Intel’s telco manager, Latin America North.

Although the device packs 8GB of internal memory, only 5GB of storage is available for users. Still, those who decided to grab the RAZR i will be able to further expand storage up to 32GB via microSD memory card.

Motorola RAZR i sports a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports 540 x 960 pixels resolution and features Corning Gorilla Glass coating for extra protection.

On the back, the smartphone boasts an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, while in the front there's a secondary VGA camera for video calls.

“An instant launch camera that takes 10 pictures in less than a second and Web pages that load blazingly fast on a device that’s the perfect balance of screen size that fits in the palm of your hand. RAZR i delivers all that, and it’s the first Intel-fast smartphone in Latin America,” said Marcelo Airoldi, commercial director of Motorola Mobility Peru.
