모토로라 아트릭스 4G는 미국에서 두주전에 판매를 시작하여 얼리어답터 사이에서는 굉장한 핫이슈이다.
처음 시판된 듀얼코어 폰이기 때문이다.
LG 2X폰이 세계최초의 듀얼코어라고 떠들어대지만...
미국에서는 아직 듣보잡인듯...
게다가 4G망인 HSPA+를 사용하여 더욱 이슈가 되고 있다.
얼리어답터에게 제시한 질문들은 다음과 같다. (존칭은 생략하도록 한다)
1. Tegra2 프로세서... 좋아?
2. 모토블러(Motoblur) 어때?
3. Qik이나 tango 써봤어?
4. qHD 어때?
5. 4G어때? (HSPA+)
6. 업로딩 스피드 캡있어?
7. 1930mAh 베터리어때?
8. 지문인식(fingerprint scanner) 쓸만해?
여기에 대한 답은 대체로 비슷했다.
1. Tegra2 프로세서... 좋아?
ㅇㅇ 다른 기종하고는 차원이 틀려~ 그래픽 지원도 잘되고 괜찮네.
그런데 한가지 문제가 있어... 굉장한 성과를 내려면 프로요따위론 되지 않아... 진저브레드와 만난다면 쩔듯~
2. 모토블러(Motoblur) 어때?
썩었어..(정말 그네들 표현..) 마치 윈도우3.1을 사용하고 있는거 같어.. ㅠㅠ;;
3. Qik이나 tango 써봤어?
탱고는 동작 하지 않아.. 전면부 카메라 드라이브가 아직 없거덩...
대신 퀵은 동작 하지~ ㅋㅋ 그런데 사용은 안해.. 왜냐고? 그거 쓰기 시작하면 내 인생은 없어질거야.. (그만큼 괜찮다는 얘기..??)
4. qHD 어때?
레티나랑 맞먹거나 좀더 좋은거 같어. (삼성 아몰레드는 이제 한물간듯..)
5. 4G어때? (HSPA+)
썩었어.. (이부분은 지역마다 다르게 나타나지만, DL:1.3/3/2 에 대해 UL:1/1.2/0.3Mbps로 나왔다. 뉴욕과 텍사스주에서도.. 이부분은 어제 필자가 포스팅한 데에서도 영상으로 잘 나타나있는 부분임)
얼답들은 통신망에 대해서 가장 우려의 목소리가 많았다. 텍사스에서는 심지어 아이폰 4보다 느리다고..
그러나 유튜브업로드 뭐 이런거 아니면 그렇게 못느끼겠다고 포스팅 한사람도 있다.
6. 업로딩 스피드 캡있어?
웅 있지.
7. 1930mAh 베터리어때?
한.. 15시간 정도 가는거 같은데.. 테그라2에 qHD니 베터리가 기존보단 많이 잡아먹는걸 감안하면 비슷한거 같아~
8. 지문인식(fingerprint scanner) 쓸만해?
기호에 따라 다르지만 보안장치로 사용해~ 괜찮아. 그치만 이걸 내세울만큼 대단하지는 않은거 같아~
인식율은 80% 정도~?
대체적인 반응을 써봤다.

0Are you satisfied with the overall performance of the Tegra 2 processor?
yes, I can see how fast it is compare to my other android phones.
What do you think of Motoblur?
no thoughts
Have you tried out Tango and made any video calls yet? ‘
never worked with me. it crashes all the time. I do not know if it just for the atrix or all the headsets
How do you like the high-resolution qHD display?
it super clear and colorful. I love it
What kind of 4G speeds are you seeing on AT&T’s HSPA+ network?
awful and not like it. it make the phone like have to drive a sport car in school in a mountians
Are you upload speeds capped?
awful
How does the 1930 mAh battery perform?
no difference from other phones. I do not know why? I charge it twice or three times a day
Do you find the fingerprint scanner useful?
it impressive and fancy 
I make all the stupid iphoners ,who think android is just a Chinese brand of apple and just stealing their idea, to shut off
Lance says:
+2I like everything about it other than the bootloader. The phone can get a little warm during extended Samurai II sessions, but I can live with that. I rooted and ditched motoblur (not so much because I was unhappy with motoblur, but just because I could).
I still may return it. I’m having a big internal struggle because I miss Cyanogen dearly, but don’t know if that’s reason enough to ditch the Atrix. I don’t see what else I would jump ship to. There’s nothing so much greater about the Optimus 2X that I would want to get it instead. I would probably be returning it without exchanging it and holding out a few months for some other dual-core option. Who am I kidding; I’ll probably keep it. Damn you, motorola.
Chris says:
-2What would I say about the Atrix? It is as great and as frustrating as the iPhone 4.
Fast? Yep. Pretty Screen? You bet!
But at the end of the day, it has two big issues. Android and MotoBlur.
Android – not built for this phone. Especially Froyo 2.2.1. There are a lot of instances where the OS simply cant handle what the phone wants to do. That doesnt mean its not a capable phone and I dont love it. It just means I have ran into several moments where the phone exhibits strange behavior that I can only dismiss as “Android just is a beta OS”.
MotoBlur – UGGGHHHH. Its the worst overlay that has ever been created. Maybe it made sense on Android 1.0. But Froyo can be so nice why destroy it by shitting all over it with Motorola’s version of Windows 3.1? In fact to my previous point of Android feeling like a beta, often I think it is what Motorola did to tweak the phone that breaks the phone-OS harmony that could exist. I have rooted and used Titanium Backup to freeze as much of MotoBlur as I can. It makes the phone twice as fast and less clunky. But MotoBlur still lurks in the underlying menus waiting to ruin the good times you could have with your phone.
Are you satisfied with the overall performance of the Tegra 2 processor?
Yes. It is quite fast. Gingerbread should make this phone even better with Dual Core support.
What do you think of Motoblur?
I don’t need to say more. Atrocious.
Have you tried out Tango and made any video calls yet?
Tango currently does not work on the Atrix. They have not updated the drivers for the Motorola front facing camera. However, Qik has created an Atrix version that does work. They made a hacky version of the drivers. Not sure the Atrix will get a true video calling working with Tango until Motorola gets their act together and releases the drivers.
How do you like the high-resolution qHD display?
I had the N1 previously. The pentile display is noticeable if you press your nose to the screen. Other than that and a few color tweaks that need to be done to it in an update (yellows are off like the recent Nexus S update) the display is quite nice. I recommend an Atrix buyer purchase Samurai II to see the full potential of the screen. I believe the major issue with the screen is Android does not handle the resolution well causing some less than stellar graphics.
What kind of 4G speeds are you seeing on AT&T’s HSPA+ network?
2mbs upload and .2mbs download. Thats the average. ATT has turned off the HSPA features on all phones but the iPhone because they can. They have done this for several reasons: 1) The infrastructure is not in place to handle all phones with fast UL/DL & 2) They have to push new software to the phones to turn it on. Im thinking it will be made into a big splash announcement when they finally turn it on for real. At this point I havent really noticed unless I am uploading a video to Youtube or a bunch of photos. Im sure it will cause issues with Tango if/when the app works.
Are you upload speeds capped?
Yes.
How does the 1930 mAh battery perform?
15 hours is a normal amount of time. Remember, a large battery plus dual core and bigger screen only means it can keep similar time single core, smaller screen phone with a smaller battery. I believe the larger battery was meant to keep the phone up to snuff with other phones battery life, not impress with some 2 day lasting battery. It was more about keeping the specs going for a full days use.
Do you find the fingerprint scanner useful?
I use it. I regret every time I do. It slows down the unlock process significantly. You wouldnt think the second it takes to unlock would be annoying, but it is. Also, the power button is set into the phone because of the scanner making it very difficult to press. I can only say it is similar to a reset button on any other electronics, hard to press down because you have to press into/below the casing.
At the end of the day I do like the phone. I have been on android for about a year total now. It is an OK operating system. I only stay for Google Nav and the voice options it affords. I miss the cleanness of iOS and how well everything just seems to work without fanagaling it.
I always tell people, iOS is great for what it does already and Android is great for what it CAN do. You just have to want to make it great for you.
Tim says: +3Awesome, awesome phone…
The phone is DAMN fast.
I love the fingerprint reader: the reason I normally don’t lock my phone is the time it takes to input a pin or password… now I keep it locked all the time because to unlock it is just press and scan …. done. Love it.
The phone is DAMN fast.
Hotspot works really well… speed tests on my laptop connected to the Atrix (4G connection) was 1 to 1.5 Mb down and 1 to 1.2 up… impressed. This is in the NYC area.
Screen is exceptionally crisp and bright.
The phone is DAMN fast.
Don’t know why the complaints on MotoBlur (or Sense, or any other UI)… doesn’t get in my way at all. Don’t see any advantage one has over another… it’s a very subjective thing. Personally I can use them all…
Did I mention the phone is DAMN FAST?
Bottom line: the phone get the job done with class and hi-tech speed… I left an iPhone for this and will never look back…

+1Love the phone, the dock is too slow, but it’s handy when you can’t get to an outlet to recharge. Fortunately, that isn’t very frequently for me.
Fingerprint scanner – I use it to unlock, it’s okay, not a super-feature though. It hits accurately about 80% of the time.
Speeds: 3mb down; 300kb up – This is a problem, but it’s not the phones problem it’s AT&Ts problem. I suspect they don’t really have the backhaul completed and once it’s done they will boost the upload speed up. They should have been up front about the speeds though.
Phone speed: I had an Nexus One and it’s faster than the N1. However, that only really applies if you are playing games. Making a phone call doesn’t use much CPU. Still, speeds up the UI, especially if you have a live wallpaper running.
Battery Life: Only an issue twice, both days were 15 hour days for me. Don’t fault the phone for it. I’m rooted and running SetCPU and scale the CPU; it helps.
Tanga: Just updated and made a call to my wife (Iphone 4) and it worked flawlessly. Wonderful app, if you don’t have it yet, get it. It does NOT call FaceTime so the iphone person needs Tanga too.
Car dock: Great, get one.
I’ll keep it.

+1DESIGN
The phone does NOT feel solid. I don’t know what people are talking about. The iPhone 4 feels solid and has some nice weight to it. The Droid X has a nice solid feel to it. The Atrix feels light and cheap. It slips out of your hands easily. Can’t believe the Atrix is made by the same company that made the Droid X. The battery cover is hard to take off, you have to slip your fingernail in to pop it open along the sides. Then after it is on, feels like there is a bit of wiggle room on the top (maybe I didn’t pop it on right, shows how difficult it is).
FINGERPRINT
The fingerprint scanner can get some getting used to. Sometimes you have to swipe a couple times. I just wish you could customize the settings on it. It currently requires a swipe every time the phone goes into sleep mode. Very annoying.
NETWORK
Sucks. My reception seems to be worse than what I was getting on the iPhone 4. On my iPhone I was able to get reception in my elevator. Using the Atrix, there is no warning of your reception getting bad. No static or distortion, it just drops your call. Speeds seem slower than the iPhone 4 here in Chicago. Both download and upload.
BATTERY
I use it moderately throughout the day and the battery seems to last all day without a charge. I’d estimate about 15 hours before I see orange. Now if I play a 3D game like Samurai II, it will drop your battery life like a fat chick off the Sears tower.
TEGRA 2
Great graphics. Love it.
MOTOBLUR
Wish I could get rid of it but better than Samsung’s.
HDMI
I like the HDMI interface that comes up when you plug it into a TV. Easy to navigate with a cool interface.
PHOTOS/VIDEOS
Suck. Looks like a take photos with my niece’s PlaySkool camera. They are washed out and grainy. Especially when you play it on a large screen. The auto-focus works half the time. Photos in dim lighting come out randomly. Sometimes they are bright and good. other times they are dark. And this happens standing in the same place with the same target. The camera has to be the worst part of the phone. I miss my iPhone 4 camera.
qHD DISPLAY
Coming from the Retina display, not bad. Everything looks crisp and clear. The screen is very bright. I have my display turned to about a third for normal use and when I need it bright, I turn it to half.
APPS
Most of my apps from iPhone’s App Store are on the Android Market. Mint.com, Chase, Sirius, Pandora, Facebook, Twitter, Groupon, Living Social, Engadget. The default browser is acting funny (go to Adobe.com on your phone and take a look). I have turned to Dolphin to browse the web. Firefox looks good too but they don’e have the Flash Player yet. Waiting for Skype to come out with video calls. There seems to be no good solution out there. Fring crashes and runs up resources, had to uninstall it.
SOUND
Quality is great. Speaker is loud. Syncing is great with DoubleTwist and AirTwist.
CONCLUSION
The only thing keeping me to this phone is the Tegra 2 processor. The RAM is split between the phone and the other half for the Laptop dock. So in reality it only has 512MB. The 4G sucks right now. The fingerprint swipe is ok (on the border of annoying) and the photos and videos suck. The bootloader is also locked. The only other option I have is the HTC Inspire which has less specs or wait, again, for the Samsung Infuse. Otherwise my final opinion is mediocre. Best Android phone on AT&T, yet regret trading my iPhone 4 in for it. I just hate being restricted and Apple is a big control freak.
Jason says:
+1My wife and I have had the Atrix for 5 days now. Coming from iPhone 3G’s, this is obviously lightening fast. We love the phone – customization, screen, speed, etc. I’m having 2 main issues:
1. The default email client on Motoblur. Yes, I know that I can purchase a different app, but I haven’t found one that can handle Enterprise 2010 corporate syncing and a universal inbox. Most of the apps out there only work up to Enterprise 2007. The only ones I found were Enhanced Email which isn’t syncing as it should and Touchdown, which has a horrible UI. Right now, I’m using the default email client for Exchange and K9 for my other POP accounts. This isn’t a “return the phone” issue, but an annoyance.
2. The battery life is not that good. I’m getting 10-12 hours if I don’t touch it and 8-10 hours with normal operations (email, web, etc.). This is similar to what my wife is experiencing. The fact that I have to keep a charger at work just to get through the day (I just plugged my phone in w/ 30%) is frustrating to say the least. I’ve read many forums that say to let the battery drain and then charge powered off, hard resets, etc, etc. Nothing seems to make a difference.
Some people that have commented here seem to have a range of battery experiences from good to bad. How are you using the phone? Did you do anything to the phone to increase battery life? Has it gotten better or worse over time? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Jeff says:
0Simple response really.
My first android was the N1, my second is the Atrix.
The memory, Tegra, storage make this thing so much less frustrating than my N1. Runing out of space was a constant issue and toying with apps to SD would only do so much. I feel I have more than enough space at all times to DL and run whatever I please.
I hesitated to wait for GS2 simply becuase of all the complaints about Motoblur, seeing as I never really got a clear answer why it was so terrible I went ahead with it anyways and I dont really mind it. It may slow it down a bit but there are some advantages to it, the phones power is hardly affected by it.
I
I am def satisified but have noticed some things. Heres a list of things I liked about N1 I no longer have for the Atrix.
Ocassionally when using the home button ill get a black background with low resolution icons and doesnt correct until I push home screen again.
I do get some random lock ups at times which I never experienced on the N1.
The notification LED is ONLY green and very small compared to the ball on the N1. I for one really enjoyed the scroll ball despite its minimal use. Ill take it anyday over finger navigation to select text.
The charge input being on the side makes it difficult to use while plugged in when in portrait mode (which is what I use it most in)
What annoys me about all Android phones is the hard buttons are never placed the same. Im on my 2nd and im already annoyed with having to learn new positions.
