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

Docking potential

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
136 grams. It's a good weight, 4″ screen. It's big, it's beautiful. It's an odd resolution, though – 540 x 960 pixels, It's tough as nails – Gorilla Glass screen, It has naff features – like a fingerprint reader, You don't need a micro-SD card – it has 16
The fingerprint reader is cool, but having to use it every time to unlock the screen gets old, AT&T's built in crap-ware is annoying, though it can be removed. The Motoblur stuff can't be, Hardware
I really like it.The Atrix is unlike a lot of Android phones I’ve reviewed lately. It’s not got curious proportions. It’s not heavy, and it doesn’t feel cheap and nasty. The case is plastic – yes – but it doesn’t feel plastic and nasty, unlike some oth...
The Motorola Atrix 4G features a dual-core processor and a sharp qHD (quarter HD) display. The Android 2.2 smartphone has a sleek design and a 5-megapixel camera, a front-facing camera for video calls, and an HDMI port
No 1080p HD video recording or playback at launch. You can't install non-Market third-party apps. We didn't experience great HSPA+ 4G data speeds
The laptop dock is a decidedly cool (and pricey) feature, but the dual-core Motorola Atrix 4G has plenty to offer on its own. The smartphone packs speed and high-end features into a sleek package and earns its place at the top of AT&T's Android lineup....
The Motorola Atrix is a smartphone of a familiar shape and size, but once it's placed into one of two docking accessories, the Atrix offers an experience more like a computer than a phone.
Abstract: The year 2011 has been flooded with loads of Android smartphones, plus the touch-screen technology, this year, has surpassed its previous features with even smoother and more precise touch sensing interfaces. Touchscreen phones have now largely swapped th...
Snappy performance; able to turn into a desktop/notebook device; qHD screen; fingerprint scanner.
Motoblur; Lapdock isn't as usable as a normal notebook; photograph colors under-saturated on the phone's screen.
The Atrix is a worthy smartphone with plenty of cool features, but the Lapdock doesn't seem to be well-designed for a notebook. Still, if you're looking for a smartphone that doubles as a light computing device, this is it. ...
Abstract: Motorola thinks its latest phone is so smart it can power a computer. So, is it time to ditch the netbook? The Atrix says yes – it's one of the most powerful phones we've ever tested, with a dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM, there's ample grunt to maint...
It seems Motorola is coming back strong into the mobile game. Once the leader in phone manufacturing, it has the pedigree and experience. But that was a long time ago, long before Android was even on the drawing board and things have changed since then.An...
The Motorola Atrix is certainly a speed demon of a smartphone with a lot of things going for it – including the fact that it's offered us the fastest web surfing experience we've experienced on any smartphone to date. We also love its form-factor, multime...
Is the Atrix for You?The Atrix is picking up the pace for Motorola after a rather lacklustre Android-backed Milestone 2 - and honestly, does a pretty good job at it. The former seem to embody all that of which that constitutes a high-end smartphone - a du...
