The Motorola ATRIX is an unassuming looking Android phone that raises the bar substantially when it comes to specifications.One of several new Motorola handsets featuring dual-core processors, the ATRIX and its siblings will compete directly against the forthcoming LG Optimus 2X, the first dual-core smartphone to be announced. As with LG's offering, the ATRIX comes with a 4" screen but Motorola have included what they call a "qHD" display with 960 x 540 pixel resolution, very close to the pixel count of the iPhone 4. The display is covered with Gorilla Glass to make it scratch and damage resistant too.
Inside is a substantial 1GB of RAM to run applications in, plus 16GB of on-board flash memory and a microSD slot that can bring the total amount of storage up to 48GB, which should be enough for most users.
There are two main versions of the ATRIX - a "4G" version for AT&T in the US running HSPA+, and a "3.5G" version for Bell in Canada and Orange in the UK. As far as we can tell, the differences between the handsets other than the 4G/3.5G support are not that great. Availability in other markets is not known.
