Motorola have today confirmed that the Motorola Razer HD will be making its way to the UK, following its launch in the US last year. The phone includes a 4.7 inch display, 4G connectivity and runs the latest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS.

However the main feature of the phone is in fact its battery, with 20 hours of juice from a single charge.

The back of the phone has also been made with a smooth material called Kevlar, alongside protection, of course. Alongside the Kevlar the phone is also extremely thin, at 9mm.

Andrew Morley, the vice-president and general manager for UK & Ireland division of Motorola Mobility said the following about the phone:

“As our lives get busier, we need a handset that can keep up with the pace and with that in mind, the Motorola Razr HD was born, a smartphone that’s always ready to go, whenever you need it” said Andrew Morley, vice-president and general manager UK & Ireland, Motorola Mobility.

“This doesn’t mean we should compromise on quality, as alongside this high-performance battery comes a 4.7-inch RAZR sharp HD screen, impossibly thin design and faster surfing of the net through 4G capabilities – all the features we know are critical for consumers.”

Motorola Razr HD is available to buy from Amazon.co.uk, Expansys.com, Clove.co.uk, Unlocked-Mobiles.com, Very.co.uk, handtec.co.uk and Fonehouse.co.uk SIM-free, there’s no news on carriers yet however.

Wondering what Android phone to buy this Christmas? Well the Motorola RAZR i might just be a valid option for you, as it will be hitting the UK on December 22nd.

The news comes from the UK phone store, Phones4U how released a press release detailing the launch, the phone will be available in white and packs a 4.3 inch edge-to-edge super AMOLED display, which has been protected with Gorilla Glass.

And it’s going to be pretty cheap too, available for free from £20.50 on a pay monthly contract.

Motorola’s first phone with Intel Inside was the RAZR i, which was announced back in December running the Android OS.

And it seems that phone was a success as the company have now announced a Chinese variant named the RAZR i MT788, which will feature a 2GHz Intel Atom Proceessor, 4.5 inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 960 x 540, Gorilla Glass, 8 MP rear camera and MicroSD expansion up to 32GBs, all running on Android 4.0 ICS.

Which as you may notice is similar to the original phone, but once you start to actually look at the phone you see the differences, with new external design and for some reason a smaller 1,735mAh battery instead of the previous 2,000mAh oe, there’s also only 4GBs of in-built memory compared to the previous 16GB model.

It’s not all bad however as the front facing camera is now 1.3 MP instead of 0.3.

The Phones 4u have starting selling Motorola’s RAZRi both in store and online, what’s more they are also giving the first 500 online orders a free Motorokr S305 Wireless Stereo Headphones.

The Motorola RAZRi comes packed with a ton of specs, including a 4.3″ Super AMOLED edge-to-edge screen with crystal clear graphics, alongside which there’s a 2GHz dual core processor, the free headphones also feature high quality 30mm speakers, with exceptional sound experience and a boosted bass.

The phone is available from today in black, with Android’s 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 8 megapixel camera with flash and a multi-shot mode that allows you to take 10 pictures in less than a second.

The screen has also been made from Gorilla Glass, and also include NFC technology, compatible with the Android Beam service and 8GBs of in-built memory, which is expandable with a MicroSD slot.

The Motorola RAZRi is available in store and online from today, from free for £21.50 a month.

The UK online retailer, clove has revealed earlier today that Motorola’s RAZR i which was only announced this morning will be available in the UK from October 1st for £342 SIM-free and can be pre-ordered from today.

The device includes a 2GHz Intel Atom processor, a 4.3 inch edge-to-edge Super AMOLED display, which is apparently 15& larger than the iPhone 5 and includes an 8 megapixel camera on the back with 5GBs of internal storage and a 2,000 mAh battery.

The RAZR i will also include the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system pre-installed, with a Jelly Bean upgrade on the way alongside NFC and Android Beam.

If you’re not a fan of SIM-free the phone will also be available in early October from Orange, T-Mobile, Phones4U, Virgin media and Tesco.

If you do pre-order you will also recieve a copy of Norton’s Mobile Security for free, which helps protect the device from any malware that may be picked up from malicious applications.

We get it, not everyone can get the opportunity to attend the big press events and see the new devices as they are launched, that’s why it’s great when a company like Motorola uploads a video to YouTube of the event for all to see.

And just moments after releasing three new smartphones, Motorola have done just that, check out the full video from their main event below.

Motorola have just announced the new Droid Razr HD and the Droid Razr Maxx HD, which packs a 4.7 inch display, Android’s Jelly Bean 4.1 OS, 32GBs of onboard storage and a battery life that can last as long as 27 hours.

One of the biggest features that Motorola highlighted during the announcement event was the fact that it will come with the Chrome browser installed, which is certainly to be expected.

The device will be shipped with Ice Cream Sandwich, but as mentioned before it will be compatible with Android’s new 4.1 Jelly Bean OS, which will hit the phone later this year.

The main difference between the Maxx and the normally Razr is its battery life, which can last up to 27 hours playing music over LTE, 10 hours of playing video and 21 hours talktime.

Both of which will be shipped before Christmas.

According to a source speaking to Hot Hardware, Motorola are planning to release the Droid Razr HD and Razr Maxx HD in time for October.

The source stated that Motorola are planning for an October release so they can sell enough of the Droid Razr and Razr Maxx smartphones before its release, which obviously means Motorola may push the release date back if the devices haven’t sold well enough.

Nothing has been confirmed yet, but there are rumors that both phones will feature a 720p screen but the Maxx HD will pack a larger battery, the Droid Razr HD is also rumored to come with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor as well as LTE connectivity.

There’s also rumors that the Razr HD will have world-roaming capabilities, so might end up in the UK which links with the recent leak of the phone being tested on the Vodaphone network.

The wait has most defiantly been a long one, but there is some good news as Android Central have reported that Motorola’s Razr and Razr Maxx will be getting the Ice Cream Sandwich update from yesterday.

There is a catch as Android Central added that this will only be coming to “select” devices which means that they will be running a soak test, updating a select number of users early in order to collect feedback to see if the update caused any problems.

US customers will received this update in June of this year which means Europe has had a long wait for ICS, Motorola have said this was due to some issues that needed to be ironed out before its release.

If you’re one of the lucky ones you should receive the update over the coming weeks according to Motorola.

The Ferrari 458 has to be one of the nicest looking cars on the market to-date, and now so is Motorola’s new i867 which is today making it’s way to Brazil.

The i847 has been designed to more or less mimic the design of the 458, with the iconic Ferrari red, mixed with smooth cross-cut corners, there are some things that let the phone down however, the first is it’s 3.1 inch touchscreen, the second is the 3MP camera with 4X zoom and the third is the 200MB of storage (in-built) with up to 32GB capacity.

And finally the fourth and final one is the price which will set you back R$ 1,499 (£471) without a contract or R$ 799 (£251) with one, which is pretty bad for the specs, but I think I would still buy one for its amazing looks.

Check out the press release below for more information.

Motorola have just released a press release stating their plans to release the newest Droid RAZR Maxx here in the UK sometime around mid-May, with pre-orders starting today.

When the RAZR Maxx does hit the UK the device will be available from both Clove and Expansys for around £430, alongside Amazon who are also planning to sell the device.
