Motorola Quench XT5, MB520 Kobe / Diablo specs and pictures leak

Motorola Quench XT5 specs and pictures leak



This is not the Motorola Cliq XT (also known as the Motorola Quench MB501 in some markets), or the Motorola Quench XT3.

What we have here is a new model in what is now the Quench range of Android-powered smartphones from Motorola, the XT5. Little was previously known about this handset, but thankfully its specs and a couple of pictures have leaked.

So without further ado, here’s what this model is packing:
OS: Android 2.1
Band/Modes: WCDMA 900/1900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps (Category 7/8), EDGE Class 12
Display: 3.2″ 480×320 HVGA 262k
FM radio, DivX video playback
Battery: 1270 mAh
Dimensions: 56 x 114 x 13 mm
Weight: 114 g

This is shaping up to be a decent midrange smartphone, perhaps hampered a bit by the battery capacity compared to rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy 3. Of course, if the Quench XT5 were to get a price that is more attractive than its competitors’, things could be looking very good for this effort from Motorola, who seem to be banking everything on Android these days.

The supported bands clearly indicate a European/international release and no love for any of the US operators, but there’s always the possibility that one or more different versions of the phone tailored to AT&T’s or T-Mobile’s 3G bands would come in the future.

Needless to say, there’s no word yet on availability or even a date for the official announcement regarding this smartphone.

Motorola MB520 Kobe / Diablo for AT&T in the wild



Remember that midrange, Android-equipped MB520 Kobe from Moto we told you about a few days back? Well, it's stepping out for the first time this evening with a little help of our dear brother from another mother, Mr. Blurrycam. As we'd heard before it's definitely destined for AT&T bearing Android 2.1 with Blur (complete with Blur logo on back), though our tipster tells us we can expect an update to 2.2 over the air. Along with "Kobe," the codename "Diablo" is apparently being tossed around internally, though decisions have been made on what to call it when it hits shelves. A Droid X competitor it's not -- but coming off the Backflip debacle, it's baby steps for Moto's Android relationship with AT&T, right?.
