Motorola ATRIX 4G: An Innovation from Motorola

ATRIX 4G

Every now and then we see something newer in technologies. From cell phones to smart phones, from simple calls to Touchpad, Technology has no end. What’s new we wanted. Motorola has come with a virgin feature which I will call one of the greatest development in Technologies.

You would have used computers, laptops, televisions, tablets all of this contains processors, display units and storage systems. In any ways, all are performing nearly identical functions.

Few years back, one of my friends told me that the day is not far away when each mobile would be nothing but a pocket computer. The development of technologies is also proving the veracity of the above statement.

Here comes the Motorola’s most fantabulous, exciting and innovative idea of converting mobile into the hearts and brain of the laptop.

Motorola ATRIX 4G is a well designed, fast Android phone. It also has the fellow laptop docks which super thin, sleek, light and black aluminum without processor and storage of its own.

The advantage is –

you don’t have to sync anything.

Heart still is you mobile.

Primary is mobile and secondary is laptop.

So  here we saw that it is phone which invigorate life in the laptop.

You also have to change your idea about battery. Suppose you are on travel and the journey is of nearly 10 hrs. You just keep the cell in the laptop dock and watch movies for about 8-10 hours with the laptop batteries and when you are done with your travel, take the cell out of the dock and you will have you cell batteries full charged.

Features

è     It runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo).

è     It is powered by dual core 1Ghz Nvidia Tegra 2 SoC processor

è     It has dual cameras i.e. front and back cameras. Primary camera i.e. back one is 5 Megapixel camera with AF and LED flash and Secondary (Front) is a VGA Camera at resolution of 640×480 pixels

è     It uses Motorola’s Blur Software –unifies address books and messages from various online accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and email.

è     It has the fingerprint sensor built into the power button on top back of the cell. This feature will help us in locking the phone with a single finger. But before this feature comes into execution it needs several swipes of our finger.

è     The display screen is huge of 4 inch — 960 x 540 pixels better for viewing maps and docs.

è    The Atrix has DLNA. Don't have to buy the dock if you don't want to. Atrix dock is more useful if you want to use web-top, the streaming is an added bonus.

è     With many HDMI capable Android phones coming out you will either get Movie and Image output via HDMI OR mirrored mode

è     Taking connectivity into figures, it supports GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth, USB, 3G and (HSPA+) i.e. 4G network.

è     It has 16GB of on phone memory which can be extended to 32 GB with memory card.

è     1GB RAM

è     Geo tagging feature is available.

è     Compass, Accelerometer, Proximity, Light Sensor features are also there.

è     Multi touch Input Method.

è     The best part is about the laptop is that we don’t have to stress so much for shut down. Just take the cell out. This will be enough.

è     As soon as you keep the phone in the dock, the mobile screen contents will be there on laptop screens. The icons and buttons are clickable bytrackpad clicker.

è     And yes you will not miss your phone call in this setup. The laptop will act as a speakerphone.

è     All the Android apps can be run on the Laptop Screen but all the apps didn’t exploit the laptop screen.

è     We can open another window on Laptop i.e. Firefox web browser at full screen. Web surfing is easy.

è     A TV dock for the ATRIX is also available.

Till now you have read about the features of the Atrix 4G.But every coin has two states. So there are some flaws too in the phone.

è     Scrolling is a serious issue. On phone, its easy scrolling with the finger which is the natural pointing device but when the phone’s in the laptop, swiping is quite difficult. We scroll while holding the clicker button and then dragging one finger on the trackpad. So bizarre..huh!!!

è     Unused key strokes for phones- Page up and Page Down which only works for the Firefox.

è     Since it’s an Android laptop so word, excel and ppts will open in QuickOffice Software.

è     You won’t run games, Photoshop etc as you run on a real laptop.

è      Phone runs flash videos so will be able to see TV shows. But since the flash is so jerky that it’s unwatchable even on a fast Wi-Fi Connection.

è     The internet speed is not up to its mark. The internet speed of a non 4G phone is greater than Atrix 4G.

è     The phone and the laptop together cost $500 after $100 rebate. Too much expensive. With this you can purchase a new windows based laptop everything at one place. To use the browser you have to pay $20 to AT&T per month.

Rumours are there that this phone is going to outsell the Apple iPhone. I think Google is just testing with their OS in the market. But with this features it’s impossible to outsell Apple phones. Google has just displayed the cards from their pockets .The Ace is yet to be shown. But when this phone will be launched a great response is expected from the customers.

I hope you would have enjoyed reading this Blog.
