Motorola XT928 and MT917
Two handsets heading to China, the Motorola MT917 (heading to China Mobile) and the XT928 (heading to China Telecom) are the two most powerful smartphones ever made by Motorola.
Both handsets feature a 4.5" 720 x 1280 pixel touchscreen on the front, a 13 megapixel camera on the back and a 1.2GHz dual core CPU with 1GB of RAM. The MT917 is styled after the Motorola RAZR (complete with Kevlar back), where the XT928 is a slightly more traditional design.
Other features on these two phones include a 1.3 megapixel video calling camera, 1080p video capture with the main camera, a Gorilla Glass coated display and all the usual features that you would expect from an Android 2.3 smartphone.
The MT917 is a TD-SCDMA device, the XT928 is a CDMA handset, but otherwise both seem to be very similar, and they are certainly more powerful than anything we have seen from Motorola in Europe or the US.
Motorola have been heavily involved in the Chinese market for some time, with several quite desirable handsets being made available only in China over the years. We don't know if these handsets will make it out of China in a modified form though, Motorola have been quite picky about markets lately and not all recent handsets have been available worldwide.
The Motorola XT928 and MT917 should be available on their respective carriers from December onwards.
