Motorola has announced a new phone destined for the Taiwanese market. Called the Motorola XT615, the handset boasts slim lines, a large screen and an affordable price.
While not quite as skinny as the Motorola RAZR, the phone still wears a notably slim shell . Plus, the light metallic finish of the edges make it look even thinner. Phone dimensions are 117.7 x 60.5 x 9.85 mm, with a weight of 123.6g.
Details of the Motorola XT615 include a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen (480 x 854 resolution), an 8.0 megapixel camera module (with LED flash), a front-facing VGA webcam, aGPS, 3G with HSPA, WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, microSD card expansion (up to 32GB) and a 1,390 mAh battery (rated at up to 5 hours of talk time). Muscle is provided by a modest 800MHz processor, paired with a 1GB of ROM and 512MB of RAM.
It puts Android 2.3 Gingerbread at the helm, with the new Motorola Switch UI on top. No word on additional software included beyond the usual Google Mobile Services, but we're guessing a lot of Chinese-language stuff, since this is for the Taiwan crowd.
The Motorola XT615 will launch to Taiwan Mobile customers in the middle of December, priced at NTD$10,900 (around $360). No word yet on whether this will be rolled out in other markets.
