Droid RAZR’s CDMA2000 and TD-SCDMA variants teased in China, the latter with 720p display

Chinese mobile customers face the same dilemma as their American counterparts: they need to choose either China Unicom’s WCDMA network, China Telecom’s CDMA2000 network or China Mobile’s more obscure TD-SCDMA offering. For sure, this is a real headache for phone fanatics stuck on a carrier that does not support their desired devices, unless they do not mind surfing the online on 2G radio (if compatible in any respect). Luckily, nowadays Motorola tends to take excellent care of all potential Chinese customers whenever it rolls out a brand new Android phone, including the Droid RAZR (aka XT910, pictured right) for this reason. Read directly to discover what these two new phones are about.

Ranging from the left we’ve the XT928 with CDMA2000 radio, a 13 megapixel imager and Dolby Digital Plus certification, but details on weight and dimensions are still guarded by the crouching tiger. While China Telecom has confirmed on Sina Weibo that we’re observing a RAZR variant here with an analogous screen and processor, it’s obvious that externally here is more of a follow-as much as the Droid X series. Interestingly, our reader Chris spotted a similar-looking prototype shown off in a Starbucks situated a couple of mile from Motorola’s headquarters in Schaumburg, so there is a small chance that the XT928 can even manifest inside the US market (and we might wager at the “Droid X3″ moniker).

Sandwiched between the 2 phones is the TD-SCDMA-friendly MT917 that 0 first appeared 0 earlier this month. Bearing much resemblance to the primary Droid RAZR, this rounder-looking device gets bumped up with a bigger 4.5-inch 1,280 x 720 LCD (in keeping with its certification document) and a similar 13 megapixel camera because the XT928. Similarly though, this model also gains 1mm in body thickness and 11g in weight.

There isn’t any concrete info on release dates just yet, but we heard throughout the Chinese grapevine that both phones are expected to be out over there by the top of the year. Not that it would be of any use for the remainder of us outside China, anyway, no due to all those different radio standards.
