Motorola Atrix HD review: The Atrix reloaded

The LTE-packing Motorola Atrix HD for AT&T faces a couple of hard challenges. First and foremost, it has to build on the user experience of original Atrix 4G, giving its owners who are up for an upgrade these days, a reason to stick with the brand.

Quad-band GSM and 3G support ; Class 17 LTE network support ; 21 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA ; 4.5" 16M-color LCD capacitive touchscreen with HD resolution (720 x 1280 pixels); Gorilla Glass; ColorBoost technology ; Superb build quality; Kevlar...

No dedicated camera button ; 1780mAh battery and comparably short battery life ; No FM radio ; Dubious design - the AT&T logo at the bottom looks like a button, but it isn't ; Non-user-replaceable battery

Powerful internals, gorgeous screen, solidly built body, and a stock Android experience with just the right amount of modification -that's the Motorola Atrix HD in a nutshell. Motorola has addressed the issues of the smartphone's predecessors, thus...

Motorola Atrix HD

More Info Motorola Atrix HD coming to AT&T July 15, priced at $99 Motorola Atrix 2 review Motorola ICS UI review When it comes to storied products, the Motorola Atrix has already mushroomed into one prolific line of devices, even in its short, 18-month...

Krait processor brings solid performance ; Great specs for the money ; Nice build quality

Dismal battery life ; Slightly oversaturated display ; Camera falls short of the competition

The Atrix HD is the best AT&T Android device you can get for under $100, though it doesn't match the One X and Galaxy S III despite having similar specs.

Review: Motorola Atrix HD

Motorola's Atrix HD smartphone has a nice price at $100 on contract, but its killer feature is the 4.5-inch touchscreen, which offers an iPhone-rivaling level...

One of the best smartphone displays right now, blows away the screens of other 0 phones. 1.5GHz Snapdragon CPU and 1GB of RAM offer tons of speed. So long Webtop, so long heavy, bloated MotoBlur. Minimalist Android skin is the best implementation...

Battery life is disappointing — keep a charger on you at all times. AT&T exclusivity is a bummer for non-AT&T customers

Motorola Atrix HD Review: Dazzling Display, Low Price

Although the Motorola Atrix HD ($100 with a two-year AT&T contract; price as of July 20, 2012) is the first Android phone that Motorola has released as a Google subsidiary, it isn't remarkably different from Motorola phones released preacquisition....

Gorgeous, high-resolution display ; Fast Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor ; Affordable, but not cheaply made

Battery drains quickly ; Camera is below average

Considering this phone's big, bright display and fast processor, it is hard to believe that the Motorola Atrix HD is only $100.

Motorola Atrix HD (AT&T)

Motorola's nicely updated Atrix HD Android smartphone offers a lot of bang for not much buck, although it's no longer the stellar value it once was.

Solid value. Comes with Android 4.0 preloaded. Fast 4G LTE speeds. Sharp 720p display. Good battery life.

Not the thinnest or lightest phone. UI customizations and bloatware are a drag. Disappointing camera and camcorder.

Calls sounded fine through a Jawbone Era Bluetooth headset ($129, 4 stars), and the Atrix HD's voice dialing worked perfectly over Bluetooth. You can send text messages or email messages, check voicemail, or even check things like signal strength and...

Motorola Atrix HD (AT&T) review

Smartphone sequels seem to run out of some steam after each refresh. The new $99.99 Motorola Atrix HD doesn't quite follow the same script. It would be more apt to say this latest Atrix is less ambitious than its two previous incarnations, the Atrix 4G...

For a reasonable $99.99, the Motorola Atrix HD boasts a big, bright screen, a fast processor, Android 4.0 ICS, and 4G LTE.

Like the Droid Razr's, the Atrix HD's battery doesn't last long. Annoying bloatware detracts from the Android experience. The camera captures unimpressive images and video.

For $99.99, the Motorola Atrix HD is a great deal if you can live with its mediocre camera and short battery life.

Motorola Atrix HD Preview: $99 Monster?

I was reminded yesterday of the Droid RAZR launch event. One of the RAZR product managers excitedly leapt at the opportunity to run me through some benchmarks on the demo device, a rare opportunity at these sorts of events. The results were, for the...

Motorola Atrix HD Review

With the introduction of the Atrix HD, Motorola has just released its first 4G LTE smartphone for the AT&T network. The phone benefits on Motorola's experience acquired with the design of the Motorola Droid RAZR and the Droid RAZR Maxx. [...]

I consider the Motorola Atrix HD to be a “very good” phone: It has a large and crisp display, a fast hardware platform, a recent Android version and unique features like Smart Actions that few competitors have.

Motorola ATRIX HD Review

It's not that AT&T doesn't get its fair share of equally compelling devices, as the carrier nabbed the ATRIX 4G and ATRIX 2 last year, but AT&T customers are starving for something that's similar to what Verizon is blessed with. Thankfully, they're...

Affordable $99.99 on-contract price ; Sharp looking HD ColorBoost display ; Nice, mostly stock ICS experience

Weak battery life ; Shoots terrible photos

Oh Motorola! We were expecting so much more out of this one, especially when AT&T customers have been waiting an extensive amount of time for something other than the ATRIX 2 from last year. Aside from the larger and higher resolution display, there...

Motorola Atrix HD Written Review by Taylor

We go through a lot of phones here at PhoneDog, and the Motorola Atrix HD for AT&T is definitely one the more interesting handsets. On the inside, it hosts some of the more common high-end specifications, yet it doesn't bear a huge price tag. For...

Affordable at $99.99 with an agreement; crystal clear and vibrant display; built well; snappy S4 chipset; near stock Android interface; great LTE speeds

Poor camera; mediocre design and materials; poor battery life; laggy under extensive use

The Motorola Atrix HD is a modest entry from Motorola and AT&T, at best. It is neither the best or worst phone on the market, and it's priced appropriately. However, I feel there are better devices with more value in all the surrounding price ranges –...
