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
Fingerprint scanner
Docking potential
Good battery life
Screen resolution
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

Classic design, Lapdock is expensive, No protection for the connectors
A couple of niggling worries—mostly a question of taste—and some expensive accessories can't take away from the excellent experience offered by the Atrix. It gets the very best out of Nvidia's Tegra 2 processor and has a battery to match. It's a must-h...
Topclass touchdisplay, smooth interface offering social networking features, decent email and web, HDMI out.
Lots of software glitches, mediocre design, accessory set that is its USP is pricey and yet build quality is cheap.
The laptop ‘conversion' is an excellent idea but it is disappointing in its execution

Abstract: An interesting do-it-all concept, but no matter how good the phone, it’s overshadowed by unconvincing and overpriced accessories Motorola has come out fighting recently. Its Xoom was the first tablet to market with Android 3, and now the Atrix wants to...

The Motorola Atrix is a decent smartphone, but with the exception of the fingerprint reader there's little to recommend it over our favourite dual-core Android phone, Samsung's Galaxy S2. We liked the idea of the Lapdock, if only because it could reduc...
The Motorola Atrix is a solid Android smartphone that’s easy to get to grips with and provides a great web browsing experience. The camera isn’t as amazing as those found on rival smartphones, but it does the job.A lot of what makes the Motorola Atrix ...

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
The Motorola Atrix is a powerful, compact Android smart phone that offers to take on your laptop with its innovative docks. It's an ambitious concept that will take some imagination to get your head around, and the accessories aren't cheap either....
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...
