Chrome for Android update brings Google browser to Intel-powered smartphones

Chrome for Android update brings Google browser to Intelpowered smartphones

While the Motorola RAZR i hasn’t yet hit stores, when it does, it’ll now be able to tap into the Chrome Mobile app, following its latest update. We’re putting the Intel-powered Android 4.0 phone through the review wringer right now, but have already noticed the lack of Chrome browser support.

Due to the way Intel x86-based devices run apps, the browser required some adjustments, which are now complete. At the moment, the only existing phone that officially runs Android 4.0 on a Medfield processor is the incoming RAZR i, but now any future Intel smartphones will also get the full Chrome experience — and Motorola gets to keep its promise of preinstalling the browser on its new devices.
