| Motorola Atrix HD |
THE MOTOROLA ATRIX HD ($100 with a
two-year AT&T contract) is the first Android phone Motorola has released as
a Google subsidiary.
It measures 5.26 inches tall by 2.75
inches wide; at only 0.43 inch thick, it fits easiLy into a pocket or handbag.
It comes in either black or white. Instead of physical buttons, you get three
“virtual” buttons, for Back, Home, and Recent Apps.
The phone’s name comes from its
screen, a 4.5-inch, 720-by-1280-pixel “HD” display. In sharpness and clarity
of detail, the Atrix HD held its own against the GaLaxy S III and the iPhone
4S. Text was easy to read.
This Motorola phone runs on Android
4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), with a Motorola- made overlay.
It’s the first Motorola phone on
AT&T to ship with SmartActions, an app that can help you conserve battery
life through reminders you set. Battery life wasn't the best: I had to recharge
it after about 5 hours of moderate to heavy use.
A 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm
Snapdragon processor powers the Atrix HD; other phones with this processor
have achieved high scores in our benchmarks.
Call quality in San Francisco over
AT&T's network was very good, as were the 4G LTE data speeds. Camera
quality was disappointing.
The Atrix HD is mostly an excellent deal.
It shows that these days, “budget’’
doesn’t have to be synonymous with “inferior.”
