Motorola has recently announced the availability of the Android-based smartphone Motorola XT800 in India. The handset is quad-band (GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900) network compatible, but it also works with CDMA/EVDO networks. Motorola XT800 is the first Android GSM/CDMA compatible device available in India.
Also known as Motorola GLAM, the XT800 was initially launched in China, in January 2010 and recently got upgraded with a faster processor and launched again last month in the same country, as Motorola XT800+.
It is unclear if the new device launched in India is the upgraded version or the original
XT800. Still, both smartphones offer GSM/CDMA capabilities, as well as the Android operating system.
Motorola XT800 is powered by a TI OMAP3430 550MHz processor and runs on the Android 2.2 (Froyo) platform out-of-the box.
The device comes with a large 3.7-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with 16 million colors, 480 x 854 pixels resolution, Gorilla Glass display, multi-touch support, accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate, as well as proximity sensor for auto turn-off.
“The new smartphone offers a mobile Internet experience with WiFi/WAPI, a capability for smart professionals who need to connect with business, family and friends anywhere, at any time. It also features high-definition multimedia features that enable you to capture every momentous occasion,” said Motorola Mobility India Head Faisal Siddiqui.
It boasts a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, dual-LED flash, geo-tagging, image stabilization and video recording capabilities (D1 720x480@24fps).
Other key features of the original
XT800 include: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g connectivity, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP support, GPRS/EDGE class 12, CDMA Rev. A, up to 3.1 Mbps, microUSB v2.0, 512 MB RAM, 1GB of internal memory, microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB), Stereo FM radio with RDS, GPS with A-GPS support and Digital compass.
