Today we have some interesting news coming out of Beijing from Motorola, as they recently announced the release of the MOTO XT882 for mainland China, which bears a striking resemblance to the Motorola Atrix 4G.

Moto China said that this is the world’s first dual-core, dual-mode and dual-SIMsmartphone in China. Each core in the NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor is running at 1GHz, while it also supports both CDMA/GSM , meaning it will work on networks such as China Telecom and China Mobile, plus as with most phones in China, it can hold two SIM cards.

Launching with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and MOTOBLUR UI, other features include 8GB of internal storage, an 8MP camera with dual-LED flash, a front-facing camera, 4-inch qHD display, HDMI port, 1880 mAh battery and some unique Chinese features, such as smart dialer, a business card scanner and contact manager.

If you were hoping to bring one of these back for use in the US during your next trip to China, it will set you back about 5,380 RMB or about $830, making it one of the most expensive smartphones.

The MOTO XT882 will be available from authorized Motorola resellers and China Telecom’s stores across China sometime this month.
