Motorola has never been about compromises, take the Motorola L7 for instance, a major hit because it offered an amazing experience at a very reasonable price tag. They always deliver the best they can. It was just lack of marketing and availability which led to the downfall of Motorola which then went in the hands on Google. Here is one of the last gadget goodness made by Motorola before it went in the hands of Google; the Motorola Atrix HD. The device is a promise of an experience worth remembering. The beautiful body work combined with snappy hardware never lets the user down.
As always, Motorola has been very keen about the designs of their smartphones. This device is no exemption. It features a beautiful design which is not just slim and sexy, the material used on the device is amazingly tough. The back is made up of Kevlar, material that is used in bullet proof jackets, and the front is covered by Corning Gorilla Glass. Not even an inch of the device is compromised and shows pure craftsmanship. The device has pointed corners and is very slim hence one hand usage may be an issue, but the material used in the construction ensure that the phone never slips out of the hand which is a very common case with other slim smartphones.
Considering the age of the device, Atrix HD has a decent hardware that can fulfill almost all major requirements of a user. It comes with a Snapdragon Dual core processor with two krait cores clocked at 1.5 GHz. The gaming needs will be handled by Adreno 225 which means that ample power is available to run all the major games available right now. To make a perfect family, we have 1 GB RAM on board. The entire package ensures that daily life operations, be it light applications or CPU intensive Gaming, will be handled like a charm.
The display unit of Atrix HD is a 4.5 inches TFT capacitive touchscreen, a HD resolution that is 720*1280 pixels and a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch. The display is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass display so that a few falls to the ground is not an issue. The 720p display is an eye candy and the colorboost technology helps produce sharp and detailed images and videos.
The device features almost all the connectivity options available at the moment be it 2g, 3g, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.0 or Wi-Fi. The only feature missing is near field communication or NFC.
Always capture the best moments in life by a beautiful 8 MP, Auto focus camera. Not to forget the LED flash light it couples with so that even the most romantic candle light moments are also recorded. The camera is capable of recording 1080p videos at 30 frames per second. Last but not the least, the front camera is a 1.3 MP shooter so that video calling with your loved ones is never compromised.
