Motorola Atrix Review

In a nutshell: The Motorola Atrix is a dual-core Android phone. Surely one of the best smartphones on the market, highlights of the Atrix include an extra-long life battery, aGPS with Google Maps, an excellent 5 megapixel camera with HD video recording, every kind of connectivity including Wi-Fi and DLNA, 16GB of onboard memory and even a fingerprint scanner. An optional docking station turns the phone into a powerful laptop.
Best buy: *Free* from Dialaphone.
The Motorola Atrix is the first Motorola phone we've reviewed in over two years. After the success of the iconic RAZR phone back in 2004, the company went into a nose-dive, appearing to die completely for a year or so. But, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Motorola has rediscovered a niche for itself, developing high-end Android smartphones. So, welcome back Motorola and let's take a look at your latest offering - the Atrix.
The Atrix is advertised as the "world's most powerful smartphone." Can it really live up to that? Well, it has a price tag that seems to support the claim. At £35 a month on contract, it's more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy s II, and just as costly as the iPhone 4. You'll certainly want an awful lot for such a high cost. And the Atrix gives a lot, but not quite enough to be considered the world's best.
For starters, it's running Android 2.2 (Froyo) - but 2.3 has been around for 6 months! Duh. Admittedly, there's not a big difference between 2.2 and 2.3 (Gingerbread), so let's ignore that omission and move on. Because Android 2.2 is still a great OS. And Motorola's own tweaks seem to work well. Moto Blur helps to keep you up-to-date with Facebook and Twitter, with the latest feeds appearing live on your home page if you want them. There are other subtle modifications to the user interface too, although nothing as extensive as HTC Sense for instance. And as with any Android phone you can customise most things in any case. Motorola have promised an update to Gingerbread later in 2011 - probably just as other phones upgrade from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich.
Physically, the Atrix matches up to our expectations of what a high-end smartphone should look like. It's more plastic than metal, but feels perfectly solid, and weighs in at 135g, giving it a certain gravitas. Smaller than the Galaxy S2, but hardly petite, the Atrix is a very good size. The display isn't as big as the 4.3 inches on offer from Samsung and HTC, but at 4.0 inches it's not small by any means. The resolution is very high too with 540 x 960 pixels, but it can't quite match the Galaxy S2 or Apple's Retina display.
The Atrix is an extremely fast machine, powered by a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 processor, making everything run speedily and without a hitch. And with 1GB of RAM up its sleeve, the Atrix really does pack PC-like computing power.
There are other features that make this a brilliant phone. The 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash takes great shots and can record video in HD 720p format. The dual-core processor shows its power here, with near-instantaneous image capture and judder-free video capture. The media player and web browsers are excellent too. GPS works very well indeed, with full support for all the Google mapping tools including Street View. An optional docking station turns your phone into a kind of super-laptop with PC apps plus communication and cloud-based computing. It's an expensive optional accessory though and we haven't tested it.
Connectivity is outstanding, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, USB, a 3.5mm audio jack and even a DLNA connection. The amount of memory available can't be faulted either. There's a massive 16GB of onboard memory, plus the capacity to accept microSD cards up to 32GB. And to cap it all, the Atrix has the grandmother of all batteries - a 1930 mAh Li-Ion cell. It's extremely rare to find anything more than 1500 mAh in a phone, and this must surely be the biggest battery ever seen in a mobile. This is a very welcome feature on an Android phone, as many seem to struggle to get through a day's moderate use. The Atrix can easily survive a day or a weekend. Perhaps longer once you're a few months into your contract and don't feel the need to play with it all the time.
There's one other feature which is either a gimmick or a stroke of genius and the shape of things to come. We can't decide which, but boy is it cool. To unlock the phone you actually use a fingerprint scanner located at the top rear of the phone. We have no idea how secure this is, but Motorola claim it's more secure than a password.
So, we find ourselves liking the Atrix very much. If only Motorola hadn't claimed it was the best in the world, we might have approached it more open-mindedly from the start and enjoyed all the great features it has, instead of ticking off specs against our checklist, looking for ways that it fails to match the competition. Because when you look objectively you find that in some ways it's second-best. And when it's so expensive, second-best isn't really good enough. If it was our money, we'd choose the Samsung Galaxy S2 over the Atrix without a thought, and save ourselves a few quid too.
