Review: Motorola Atrix HD Smartphone For AT&T

A small reduction than two years ago, Apple's iPhone 4 done its entrance with a manifestation of unequaled clarity. The Retina display's pixel firmness of 326 pixels per in. gave it a ill temper that no Android phone could match.

Just this past May, the HTC One X done its U.S. debut, total with a pleasing manifestation make-up 316 pixels per inch. Finally, Retina-like high quality could be had on an Android phone. But, similar to the iPhone 4S (which has the same shade as the right away $100 iPhone 4), the One X is a reward product that wears a reward $200 cost tag.

It was usually a matter of time before such high-quality displays proposed trickling down to $100 Android handsets, but we wouldn't have guessed it would come about this soon. With the attainment of the Morotola Atrix HD , that is existing for $100 on-contract from ATT, Android fans right away have a modestly labelled handset with a sharp, iPhone-like display.

The 4.5-inch shade unequivocally is a stunner. At a fortitude of 1280 x 720 pixels and with a firmness of 331 pixels per inch, content looks frail and images are abounding with detail. Colors, whilst a bit splendid and over-saturated compared to the One X and iPhone, are beautiful. Pixel artifacts similar to stair-stepping are indiscernible. Motorola calls the Gorilla-Glass-topped LCD row on the Atrix HD a "ColorBoost" display. If this is the future of Motorola's manifestation technology, it's going to a flattering one.

If you tumble $100 on the Atrix HD, you can feel assured that you won't tire of this display. But there's more to the phone than the shade - the rest of the device delivers lots high-end features at a mid-range price.

The Atrix HD is basically an expansion of Motorola's Verizon-exclusive Droid Razr and Droid Razr Maxx handsets. At 0.33-inches, the Atrix HD is thicker than the Razr, but thinner than the Razr Maxx. Like the Razr line, the Atrix HD has a Kevlar back row and contains a framework done of a blend of steel and cosmetic that feels difficult and looks good.

Inside you obtain a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor - a strike up from the Razr and Razr Maxx's 1.2GHz dual-core Texas Instruments CPUs– and 1GB of RAM. This multiple doesn't disappoint. The Atrix HD is swift and responsive, simply handling games, apps, video playback and all else we threw at it.

One astonishment here is Motorola's doing of Ice Cream Sandwich. HTC's own chronicle of Android 4.0, called Sense, was my preferred movement of Google's mobile OS in reserve from batch Android as seen on Samsung's Milky Way Nexus .

At least, that was the box before we got the Atrix HD in my hands. Motorola is currently gift the closest experience to batch Android that you can find in a manufacturer's skin. This is a leading win for Google, for Motorola and for consumers. It's doubtful that Google's new merger of Motorola Mobility had any change on this decision, as Google has mentioned many times that it intends to let Motorola map out its own course. But still, kudos.

The lockscreen is unique, with the aptitude to open the handset directly in to the camera, the phone, the content messaging app, or to your first homescreen. Motorola moreover adds a couple of widgets to the Atrix's homescreen. These may be simply removed, but they're obviously helpful. For example, a cluster of 3 circles presents the time and date in a orb, local continue in another, and information use in a third. Swipe your finger opposite any of the circles and the presented information changes: the digital timepiece becomes an analog clock, the continue toggles between not similar cities, and you can switch between saying outstanding battery life or outstanding storage. Customizable and applicable information, presented evidently with a elementary UI - this is how widgets should behave.
