Topclass touchdisplay
Smooth interface offering social networking features
Decent email and web
HDMI out.
Powerful and responsive
Sleek
Innovative laptop dock adds a screen and keyboard
High-resolution screen
Good Motoblur widgets
1080p playback
Webtop mode for computing
Multimedia mode gives great HD playback
Flash browsing is tip top
DLNA streaming
Internet TV on the TV
Even if it isn’t HD. Note you’ll need this to display an Android app in full screen on your TV – plug the phone in directly by HDMI cable and the barebones entertainment centre software launches
Which only plays video files Android natively supports.Charging dockFairly pointless unless someone just stole your alarm clock. Don’t bother.VerdictWith the Motorola Atrix

Speed

Docking potential
Good battery life

Dual core
Battery life
Innovative docking options provide plenty of potential for work or entertainment
Good specification
Larger battery is a welcome feature
As with range-topping handsets from Samsung
Sony Ericsson and others
The Motorola Atrix features a large 4-inch screen. The display on the Atrix is better than most
However
Thanks to a class-leading 540 x 960-pixel resolution. It really is a gorgeous panel
And only the smaller iPhone 4 trumps it for sharpness. It's equally good when it comes to colour reproduction
With movies and photograph
Innovative concept transforms a smartphone into a laptop
Great use of the powerful Tegra 2 chip
Excellent battery life and great camera
Powerful Motoblur interface is especially good at handling contacts
Good quality audio and fast web browsing
Classic design
Two year battery life
Accurate step tracking
Sharp 4in screen
Biometric fingerprint lock
HDMI port
Oodles of accessories
Dualcore processor
Large
Highresolution screen
Interesting array of hardware accessories
The editors didn't like
Lots of software glitches
Mediocre design
Accessory set that is its USP is pricey and yet build quality is cheap.
Confusing concept
With up to three interfaces depending on how you use the phone
Laptop dock is expensive
Multimedia dock caused problems with our sample handset
1080p does not work for HDMI out
Some Flash-based sites did not work
Webtop only works with dock
No movie or TV show service
No full-screen HDMI mirroring
Motobloodyblur
HDMI doesn't screen mirror
Single power/lock/fingerprint button could fail over time
Slippery as a fish
Finger scanner is fiddly but unique
Motoblur isn't fantastic
Lacks wide media support
Runs Android 2.2 rather than 2.3
Extras are expensive.
Motorola has implemented its own skin over the top of Android – as with most of its rivals. It's quite a heavy UI
And neatly covers the operating system
However
So is unlikely to appeal to fans of Android in its purest form. The Motorola Atrix is also bland when it comes to styling
With absolutely no features to help it to stand out. When competing against the Apple iPhone 4
The Samsung Gala
Classic design
Lapdock is expensive
No protection for the connectors
Basic app
Expensive
Sleep and calorie inaccuracies
Not the latest Android OS
Accessories a bit pricey
Large for the pocket
Runs Android 2.2
Accessories (especially the Lapdock) are expensive
Screen resolution, dual core, battery life, innovative docking options provide plenty of potential for work or entertainment
Slippery as a fish, finger scanner is fiddly but unique, Motoblur isn't fantastic, lacks wide media support
We love the fact that Motorola have really thrown themselves into the Atrix. We’re not quite sold on the complete experience, but it’s certainly innovative and offers a great Android experience...

With the Motorola Atrix, Moto has once again turned in a stupendous piece of hardware. Unfortunately, for all its efforts, it’s still not delivering a sensible UI, and more crucially, a fun software experience. HTC has nailed it. On its Galaxy S phones...
Speed, fingerprint scanner, docking potential, good battery life
Single power/lock/fingerprint button could fail over time
A solid phone on its own, but one that offers a lot of upgrade potential via the optional laptop docking station. The dual-core processor and generous RAM allowance make this handset pleasant to use and there is terrific email support....
The Motorola Atrix doesn't stray too far from the norm once you look past its dual-core processor and fingerprint reader, but it is a slick, super-fast Android phone with good battery life. Anyone after a new Google Android phone with a big screen sho...

The Frederique Constant Horological Smartwatch is the most expensive and most sophisticated fitness tracker we've ever reviewed. It looks great, and does a perfectly good job at step counting.Of course, it's not as smart as more advanced fitness trackers...
The Atrix is a top-notch phone with a speedy processor. It handled everything we threw at it, including games, without any hesitations. With the Gingerbread operating system, the Atrix may well be the jack-of-all-trades that does many things and actual...
Bright, vivid display. Outstanding battery life. Powerful dual-core CPU. Good camera. Truly innovative. Phone and laptop on a single data plan.
User interface can stutter. Uses FroYo not Gingerbread. Lapdock not all that fast.
A fantastic technological achievement that's truly unique. For journalists, live-bloggers and people who need super-long battery life and a constant, reliable mobile connection, it's unbeatable.Key features:Dual-core Tegra2 processor. Unique laptop do...
