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

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
Very fast and powerful. Gorgeous screen. Optional docks turn the phone into a desktop or laptop PC.
Buggy. Laptop dock is fatally overpriced.
Motorola's Atrix 4G, the unique bleeding-edge superphone that can transform itself into a PC, shows how we'll likely be using our mobile devices in the year 2020. But to get a taste of the future, you'll have to pay, and deal with some bugs along the ...

Abstract: In terms of external design it looks like most smartphones – a 4in display in a frame measuring 117.75 × 63.50 × 10.95 mm with a very decent weight of only 135g. This means the phone does feel a little less solid than some on the market and we also found ...
Dual-core processor. Loads of connectivity. Good 5-megapixel camera. Awesome music player
Some software instability. Poor battery life. Battery heats up during use. Screen resolution isn't compatible with some apps
With its vast range of connectivity and some punchy performance, the Atrix is a good smartphone, but software instability stops us from calling it a great smartphone....
Slick and fast user experience, HDMI-out, Good build quality and battery life
Screen is hard to see in sunlight, Touch-sensitive buttons, No word on Gingerbread update
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 Android phone with a big screen should definit...
The review wouldn't be complete without tipping my hat to Alistair and the team at MobiCity. The Atrix is a phone that's unlikely to make it to Australia soon, and these guys have brought it here with overnight shipping at a reasonable cost, considering t...
