one thing ppl NEVER show in these reviews is the text reflow while browsing the web. its so important and yet no one bothers showing it. I watched the video in the hope that the guy stopped pinching like mad and just let me see if the text reflows.
Xperia P Vs Atrix 2. Xperia P - Smaller but littlebit better display.No card slot for memory. Only 16GB internal.CPu the same and GPu similar performance.As a simple phone - better hearing instead of Atrix 2. You choose.
It's about time Motorola gave use AT&T cellphone owners a Motorola android phone that's got as good hd Qauilty battery life and 4G signal as the droid bionnic 4G
@ThisLadChanny Okay, I apologise, I wanted to say it's not as good as, not that sucks. Anyway, how did you OC your GPU because I own an Optimus One and most new games lag badly even with OC at 768 Mhz(can't go further, stress test freezes the phone)?
ok how most importan how is call quality..i live in not a great att area,how is speakerphone..i need it loud and does it have talk into it and it creates a tex for you and if so does it work well...thanks
I think the display looks great, its way better than my og Atrix and this phone stock vs stock will dusty the og Atrix. And as far as the fingerprint reader, i'm glad its gone, mine quit working a long time ago. Thankfully some of the roms use the volume button to unlock and i'm able to do things with adb commands. As for the battery, i'm sitting at 21 hrs right now with 45% left. That's with light usage today but still very good. I'm loving this phone, I hope moto unlocks the bootloader for us.
@Emotionally The S2 is 1.2ghz but it's clocked at 1ghz and is like the Atrix or the Atrix 2.... And ofcourse it has WVGA (800*480) resolution display only while Atrix and Atrix2 has qhd display and 1gb ram twice of S2...... SEE THE DIFFERENCE I OWN A ATRIX™ AND I HAVE NO ISSUES. ITS JUST A N AWSOME DEVICE!!
I have an atrix 2. It goes to the at+t screen, but it wont go no more. What should i do? Should i take it and go get it replaced or go and get it fixed?
yea. im an atrix 2 owner and the facebook scrolling and when u type is horrible!!!! when u type the scxreen moves! idk im trying ti find some answers too!
@andyyube I don't think the SGS2 GPU sucks, yes it isn't better than iPhone 4S GPU but doesn't mean it sucks. I overclocked my SGS2 GPU to 400Mhz instead of the 266Mhz and I was able to achieve 96.4 fps on GLBenchmark 720p. So it isn;t bad. iPhone isn't really a gaming station as well. It only has a few better games like Infinty Blade and thats pretty much it. The games are nearly equal on both. Just more kiddy games on Apples appstore.
i gonna get this phone in 2 weeks, what you think about this phone, the Motorola Atrix 2, Please leave a respond and tell me what you think about this phone ^^ sorry bad english
@Rayz093 Have YOU ever gone through the specs? The GPU on SGSII sucks. Yes, the RAM has better timings, higher frequency, lower latency, the CPU consumes less power and is a lot more capable and OCable, but an iPhone is all about apps. And apps mostly mean gaming, which requires GPU. Learn a bit before trying to play smart: iPhone = gaming station, Galaxy Nexus, new Android-based smartphones etc. = Good for whole market. It's like the Microsoft for everyone vs. cmd-based Linux for programmers.
@Rayz093 Very good, you've gathered your facts nice, but I'll stick to my opinion. Just so you know, I own for some time an OC'd P500 and I love the Android OS. I'm typing my comment from my Optimus, so excuse any mistake. BTW, thanks for the GPU specs, I've had some hard time finding them all.
I don't think this deserves the status of a proper sequel. It's more like an Atrix Plus. I will not change my Atrix for this, i'll wait for the real sequel.
@moparNcats if ur an engineer, you can't really use CAD software on your phone anyway. Iphone still feels faster even when it's specs is slower. I've use both, and the browser on the android is SO CHOPPY!! (which is not using it's "true potential" like you said. I do agree iphone in terms of hardware is OVERPRICED, but since they're dominating the market with just one phone... they are be overpriced, and no one will truly care.
dude ur kidding me s2 has 1gb ram wvga with super amoled plus its not clocked at 1ghz its at 1.2 its the best android phone after s3 htc one x still...
@john. Dude I have a 5 core android tablet and it smokes the ipad out of the fkin water. Can't beat a 12 core graphics card...Tegra3 FTW. On topic. I'm probly dumping my infuse 4g for the atrix. Can't wait to mod!
This was the phone that initiated me in Android, then moved to the Nexus 5, and now I have a Note8, technology has evolved a lot..
"Camera for 'self portaits'" lol (before it was called selfies)
It's full hd video was quite impressive considering it's price and year.
This guy gives the perfect reviews!
I hope I get this phone. I've researched a lot of other smart phones and this seems to come on top. Plus, gotta love Motorola!
John V. is the class of the phone-reviewing community. Props.
got ics yesterday, this phone now feels like one of a high end phone
i got this phone for $49 dollars at bestbuy and i love it so far, its an amazing phone and a great deal
I just bought this phone.....its value for money........the phone is just AWESOME.....
one thing ppl NEVER show in these reviews is the text reflow while browsing the web. its so important and yet no one bothers showing it. I watched the video in the hope that the guy stopped pinching like mad and just let me see if the text reflows.
I'm glad I waited to get this. The new Moto UI is stylish and a huge improvement. Should be even better with ICS.
I read the review from Techradar and they said that the camera performs very good :)
Is this better than the Evo 3D and Galaxy S Advanced phones?
Can you get it in the UK?
Xperia P Vs Atrix 2.
Xperia P - Smaller but littlebit better display.No card slot for memory. Only 16GB internal.CPu the same and GPu similar performance.As a simple phone - better hearing instead of Atrix 2.

Anyway, how did you OC your GPU because I own an Optimus One and most new games lag badly even with OC at 768 Mhz(can't go further, stress test freezes the phone)?
$100 for this high-end device? this is really a steal deal!
Oh how smartphone standards have changed in the last year and a half.
Not yet, will be receiving it in Q2-Q3
U forgot one thing.......... It goes into sleep mode like an old fashioned TV turning off.
I love this phone I have nothing bad to say about it!
ok how most importan how is call quality..i live in not a great att area,how is speakerphone..i need it loud and does it have talk into it and it creates a tex for you and if so does it work well...thanks
r u still loving the phone? any negatives yet?
I think the display looks great, its way better than my og Atrix and this phone stock vs stock will dusty the og Atrix.

* watches this in 2016 *
hahah likewise...I used to own this one
I'm here in 2020
This is a step back from the original atrix
@YoshiLover2012 thats my problem too. but pantech burst is out of stock in NY.
First android I had in 2012
I'm getting this phone in 2 days!
Can you arrange apps in a custom group? Because having them all mixed up is horrible.
I LOVE THIS PHONE. i have it. I love it. Love LOVE LOVE it. I recommend this phone to everyone.
Hi babe
YES ! it will get it, motorola has said that it will get an ics in q3 or q4 2012 !
I'd assume the atrix 2 since it's made after the 4g and is supposedly more improved
Nice Review! Love it when you change wallpaper during the review, good for showing the quality of the display! ;)
@Rayz093 no it indicates an opinion of someone who prefers the iPhone to to anyother phone
Help me out to choose between atrix2 or intel xolo or nexus or htc evo 3d or optimus 2x ........
I see the icons and power toggle widget glows,I want that too..sadly I dont have that features in cm7
if ii got an unlocked Astrix 2 and i wanna update the phone the ICS update it will do something to my unlocked ? or something like that?
HELP! Should I get this or the RAZR?
@fsmdf is that in US dollars?
atrix 2's TI OMAP processor,qHD screen and 8MP camera beats all
so this atrix 2 or lg optimus 2x?what u say i sould go on?
its just plug n play..you will get message on screen once u connect to hdmi port.
This or the Captivate Glide? Please reply fast!
Wait so the battery lasted for half day or for one and a half days?
is there FM radio in mobile? plz tell me
(no internet radio)
@Emotionally The S2 is 1.2ghz but it's clocked at 1ghz and is like the Atrix or the Atrix 2.... And ofcourse it has WVGA (800*480) resolution display only while Atrix and Atrix2 has qhd display and 1gb ram twice of S2...... SEE THE DIFFERENCE
I OWN A ATRIX™ AND I HAVE NO ISSUES. ITS JUST A N AWSOME DEVICE!!
Hi...Does the music player have an equalizer?
Please inform...
Thanx...
Peace!
I have an atrix 2. It goes to the at+t screen, but it wont go no more. What should i do? Should i take it and go get it replaced or go and get it fixed?
Replace it. Even the $200 (no contract) budget phone Moto G has vastly superior specs and performance.
This is a very good phone I have it and love it
Getting my Atrix HD soon.
yea. im an atrix 2 owner and the facebook scrolling and when u type is horrible!!!! when u type the scxreen moves! idk im trying ti find some answers too!

Your favourite contacts is from Matrix? -.-
i gonna get this phone in 2 weeks, what you think about this phone, the Motorola Atrix 2, Please leave a respond and tell me what you think about this phone ^^ sorry bad english
should i get this or iphone monday

This is a very good phone , I would replace my Xperia u for this

Tell which is better.. Razr MAXX or Atrix2
Oh yes the first phone with face id
@Rayz093 Very good, you've gathered your facts nice, but I'll stick to my opinion. Just so you know, I own for some time an OC'd P500 and I love the Android OS. I'm typing my comment from my Optimus, so excuse any mistake. BTW, thanks for the GPU specs, I've had some hard time finding them all.
So I get the ATRIX 4g then a month later the ATRIX 2 comes out so that pisses me off will a 3 be coming out in 2 years
@Rayz093 I'm not an Apple fanboy, but 4S is the best out there now.
My android atrix 2 is messing up on facebook and I mean the regular facebook not the app is anyone else is doing this
I don't think this deserves the status of a proper sequel. It's more like an Atrix Plus. I will not change my Atrix for this, i'll wait for the real sequel.
its really excellent phone under 500$...better than Samsung S2 ..
is atrix 2 better than xperia p? Or is it vice-versa?!!
It's funny that the least impressive aspect of this phone is the phone function.
@Rayz093 Also, take note that I already said that GSII's CPU is better than the iPhone's :)
Dude the Atrix HD has a faster processor an HD screen an 8MP camera, newer software, and it costs the SAME PRICE!
when atrix 2 comes in ITaly ?
I have then on CM 10 it is boss. More faster than when it was on 4.0.4 OTA update.
But... it has less computing power than the original atrix ?
Is Kumar narrating this?
@MrSuurijohtaja They did.
This, or the Samsung Infuse 4G?
Watching this on My atrix 2
I have it good phone don't care for the motoblur but its whatever I prefer htc

Atrix 2 is waaay better, get that, you can kinda tell, atrix 4g is aka atrix 1, and atrix 2 is better since you know, it's 2 :)
@Greathoof You might just be on to something....
@john. Dude I have a 5 core android tablet and it smokes the ipad out of the fkin water. Can't beat a 12 core graphics card...Tegra3 FTW. On topic. I'm probly dumping my infuse 4g for the atrix. Can't wait to mod!
@BigDaddyD822 Yes that is exactly what mine is doing If you ever find out please let me know how to fix it

This phone is great, but don't buy it now because AT&T has better phones out with 4G lte
