The
Moto Atrix 4G wowed us with CES Next year, without only a dual-core model, but also help with regard to AT&T's 4G/HSPA+ network, the front-facing camera, and a great recommended laptop computer dock accessory that allowed you to possess a transportable PC knowledge using Motorola's Webtop software. It was the innovative item in many ways, and it's really no wonder we given it the Better of CES Award inside the cell phone as well as mobile phones group with the period.However, it absolutely was not a best phone. We later found that the Atrix was affected by bad publish rates (though an revise would fix in which eventually), as well as the overall feel of the phone had not been really because premium because othethird Motorola smartphones. In addition , it did not have 1080p Hi-def documenting abilities with the time of the release. In the end believed the notebook boat dock accent had been great, it had been only appropriate for the Atrix and no othethird phone, which made it's large value rathethird tough to take.Moto will need to have recognized these missteps, since the lately released Atrix 2 offers fixed lots of thesony ericsson concerns and more. It provides a greater as well as better-looking show, a good improved digital camera, plus it cruises with Android Two.Three Gingerbread. Even the new laptop dock accessory is improved upon; it's more sleek, lighter in weight, and also Motorola has guaranteed it's match ups along with ather Motorola mobile phone models. Still, theze changes are somewhat small, as the model velocity has not altered also it still only facilitates HSPA+ and not AT&T's nascent LTE network.Yet possibly the most fascinating thing regarding the Atrix A couple of is that it is amazingly affordable at only $99.99 after having a two-year agreement; what a $100 drop from the unique Atrix. Even though the improvements are incremental, the cost decrease makes the Atrix A couple of a very desirable alternative with regard to AT&T customers.Style
When we first set eyes about the Motorola Atrix 2, we could hardly very tell the difference between this and it is precursor. The general designs of the phones resemble, together with the usual piece style as well as rounded 4 corners. However, there also tend to be refined differences that help raise the Atrix 2. It provides a gleaming gunmetal grey frame around the entrance plus a rubberized distinctive back that provides the cell phone an even more luxurious really feel in the palm in spite of its plastic material construction. It is also taller as well as bigger at Four.95 in . extended simply by A couple of.59 inches extensive simply by 3.41 " heavy. The reason for the size increase is because of a slightly larger display. While the Atrix 4G had a 4-inch qHD display, the Atrix 2 has a 4.3-inch qHD display. Moreover, the Atrix 2 does not have the Pentile display that resulted in poorer pixel density in the original Atrix. Graphics look crisp and vibrant, and text is smooth and legible as well.
The Atrix 2 has a dual-core 1GHz TI OMAP4 processor instead of the Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset on the Atrix, but that didn't appear to diminish its performance. The capacitive touch screen felt very responsive to our taps and swipes, and navigation felt snappy. There did appear to be a slight flicker when transitioning between menus, but it wasn't too distracting.
Beneath the display are the standard Android shortcut touch keys for the menu, home, back, and search functions. On the left spine are the Micro-HDMI and Micro-USB ports; the right is home to the volume rocker and a dedicated camera button, which was not on the original Atrix. On the top are the 3.5mm headset jack and the power/screen lock key. Sitting above the display is a front-facing VGA camera for video chats, and the 8-megapixel camera is on the back together with an LED flash. Unfortunately, Motorola decided to do away with the fingerprint scanner with the Atrix 2.
AT&T packages the Motorola Atrix 2 with an AC adapter, a USB cable, and reference material. There's also a plethora of optional accessories for the Atrix 2 that include the new laptop dock called the Motorola Lapdock 100, an extra capacity battery, a vehicle navigation dock, an HD station, a portable universal charger, a wireless keyboard, and more.
User interface
The Motorola Atrix 2 runs Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread with a refined MotoBlur interface. It's remarkably different from the one we saw on the original Atrix, and more closely resembles recent Motorola handsets like the Droid Bionic and the Photon 4G. It's certainly not as intrusive as previous versions of MotoBlur, where you had to sign up for an account just to use the device.
You get five customizable home screens that you can personalize with various widgets and shortcuts. You can also press the Home button to see a zoomed-out view of all the home screens. This way you can select a specific home screen directly. On the bottom row of each home screen are four shortcut icons that correspond to the phone dialer, e-mail, the browser, and the main menu. As for the main menu, you swipe from side to side to navigate instead of the vertical scrolling on the default Android interface. For text input, you have the choice of either the multitouch Android keyboard or Swype.
Features
The Atrix 2 offers many of the same features as the Atrix and comparable Android handsets. Android 2.3 Gingerbread gives it a much improved interface along with a more intuitive virtual keyboard. You can also now use the front-facing camera for taking self-portraits if you'd like. It handles Adobe Flash content in the Webkit browser quite well; we loaded CNET TV on it and managed to play video with a delay of only a few seconds. Aside from the dual-core processor mentioned earlier, the phone's 1GB of RAM helped boost performance, too.
