Dual-SIM Motorola MOTOSMART Android Phone Goes on Sale in Brazil

Motorola continues to bring its Android smartphones to South America with a new affordable device – the dual-SIM MOTOSMART. The handset has just been introduced in Brazil and is now available for purchase via authorized resellers across the country for 325 USD (260 EUR) off-contract.

Those unfamiliar with Motorola’s latest Android phones should know that the MOTOSMART Dual-SIM is in fact the South American variant of the Motorola XT390, which has been confirmed for China Unicom. Aside from its dual-SIM capabilities, the smartphone offers users the advantages of Google’s Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system. In addition, the MOTOSMART Dual-SIM comes with Motorola’s MotoSwitch user interface that learns whom the user talks to the most and which apps they use. All information is then saved and put right on the home screen just a click away.

The handset is powered by a low-performance 800 MHz processor, complemented by 512MB of RAM. Furthermore, the internal memory can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD card slot. There’s also a 3-megapixel camera on the back, coming with a special feature and special effects to make pictures more fun. In the connectivity front, the MOTOSMART Dual-SIM offers a slew of options, including microUSB, Wi-Fi, DLNA, and Bluetooth. It is also worth mentioning that Motorola MOTOSMART Dual-SIM sports a decent 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports 240 x 320 pixels resolution and 262k colors.

Obviously, users will be provided with access to hundreds of thousands of apps and games on Google Play Store, as well as Google’s full suite of services, including Google Search, Maps, Gmail, Gtalk and YouTube.  “The dual-SIM option on the Motorola MOTOSMART Dual-SIM enables consumers to choose the carriers and service plans that best fit their needs. We aim to provide handsets with features that meet the needs of all types of users at competitive prices,” says Edson Bortolli, product director, Motorola Mobility Brazil.
