In this article I will give an overview of some of the key features of this impressive handset.

Measuring up at 4 inches, the TFT capacitive touchscreen the Motorola Atrix boasts an incredibly high resolution of 540x 960 within which up to 16 million individual colours can be displayed for unparalleled display quality of the on screen imagery. All the bells and whistles you would expect from any modern smartphone are included in the screen; multi touch input support, accelerometer and proximity sensors are included as standard as well as the standard capacitive Android shortcut keys at the base of the screen.

One of the more inventive and appealing features of this handset has to be its biometric fingerprint scanner. Like a gadget from a James Bond film, the fingerprint scanner requires users to simply swipe their index finger to unlock the screen, doing away ...
... with more traditional unlock methods like PIN numbers.

With 16 GB of internal storage as standard, users have plenty of scope for storing music tracks, photos and videos etc. Although this is ample for the needs of most users, should further storage be required there is also a microSD slot which can accommodate a memory card of up to 32 GB, meaning that users can potentially have 48 GB at their disposal.

The Motorola Atrix makes for a superb web browsing device. This is thanks to its super fast download speeds of 14.4 Mbps in areas with 3G coverage, alongside its ability to utilise local wireless networks for Wi-Fi Internet browsing. The full HTML browser supports Adobe flash 10.1 content such as embedded games and videos, and there is also a comprehensive package of social networking features and Google tools.

The Motorola Atrix also has an impressive 5 mega pixel digital camera which produces very pleasing results thanks to its high resolution 2592x 1944 pixels. Geo-tagging, image stabilisation and LED flash are just some of the features which make this a great camera phone. Additionally, the camera can also shoot high definition video footage in 720p quality; however this will increase to 1080p via a future software update.

The operating system of choice is Android 2.2 (Froyo), although this can be upgraded to later versions. To provide all the necessary computing power, a dual-core 1 GHz ARM processor is on hand to run demanding applications with ease as well as make sure that the interface runs as smoothly as possible. The Motorola Atrix was one of the first Smartphones to incorporate a dual-core processor, and the benefits that comes with it.

The Motorola Atrix offers the full package; comprehensive multimedia compatibility as well as productivity tools and downloadable apps from the Android Market combine to make this one of the most functional handsets out there. Whatever you are looking for in a new smartphone, the Motorola Atrix should definitely be on your shortlist.
