We were expecting the first Intel-Motorola device sooner than later, and MWC looked like the ideal platform to do just that. Leaked information and screenshots however, procured by Pocketnow, have already shown off a phone ahead of the Barcelona event, revealing an Android 4.0 ICS device with an Intel chipset.
The two companies announced their partnership at CES 2012 in January, when Intel also showed the world its reference hardware – boasting of an 8MP camera, 15 fps burst capaility, HDMI 1080p video playback of 6 hours, audio playback of up to 45 hours, as well as 3G talk time of 8 hours, and standby time of 14 days. Q2 2012 was the expected launch period for the first devices, with Lenovo also announcing it will be launching Intel mobile devices soon.
Other Intel-bearing mobile devices, such as the Lenovo K800, have already been officially revealed. Initially, a single-core Medfield Intel Atom Z2460 processor is expected to run the first generation.
The new Motorola Android ICS phone with Intel inside will apparently feature a top-of-the-line mobile camera (presumably 8MP), with instant-on, a dedicated camera button, and a 15 fps burst capture rate.
Check out the images of the Motorola mobile below, and stay tuned for more on the device, possibly ahead of MWC.
