The Motorola and Intel collaboration that is the Razr i is now available for purchase in Brazil. Priced at $1,299 reals (roughly $640), the Intel-based device runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and features a 4.3-inch 540x960-pixel qHD Super AMOLED display, 1GB RAM, and an 8-megapixel camera.

Nearly identical to Verizon's Droid Razr M, the Razr i boasts a large, edge-to-edge screen, yet in a form factor typically reserved for smaller handsets. Additional details for the smartphone include 8GB internal storage, microSD expansion, and a very respectable 2,000mAh battery.

Motorola says that although the Razr i comes with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich experience, a 4.1 Jelly Bean update is promised.
