Motorola's Atrix 4G Handset Could be World's Most Powerful Smartphone

The next big thing to come out of Motorola, who has gone totally Android-crazy, is the much anticipated 4G-ready handset the Atrix 4G. The company has gone so far as to call it The World’s Most Powerful Smartphone yet. For hardcore mobile fans the specs are enough to start you saving up for this mobile monster today.

The Atrix will feature a dual-core (1GHz each) Nvidia Tegra 2 CPU (+ 1 GB RAM ) under the hood which is more than enough to spark an interest in the community. It’s only competition will be LG’s offering in the Optimus 2X that’s also flaunting a Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, ULP GeForce GPU, Tegra 2 chipset. Other features also include -

*  A 4-inch capacitive touchscreen encased in Gorilla glass making it scratch resistant and sturdy (540 x 960 pixel resolution, 24-bit color - the world’s first qHD [Quarter High Definition])
*  3 and 4G capable HSDPA speeds (up to 14.4Mbps), Wi-Fi with DLNA compliance
*  GPS with A-GPS support and possible a newer version of the MotoNav software
*  Bluetooth with A2DP + EDR
*  a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash featuring image stabilization and geotagging
*  Stereo FM radio
*  HDMI out port
*  3.5mm handsfree socket
*  MicroSD card support plus 16GB internal storage (up to 48GB of memory in total)

If that’s still not impressive enough the device will come running Froyo with Adobe Flash 10.1 support showcasing Motorola’s MOTOBLUR customised UI and will be upgradeable to 2.3 later. The camera is currently capable of 720p video recording at 30fps but a future upgrade will allow you to record video in full HD i.e. 1080p. The Optimus 2X was already announced having this feature.

The Atrix also supports 1080p video playback of files with Xvid or DivX codecs among many others. It’s even equipped with a Biometric Fingerprint Reader for your security requirements should you be of the secretive genre of individuals. Active noise cancellation is also part of the handset’s long list of features.

So far it’s been announced only for the US’ AT&T network but with a handset featuring specs like this, I’m sure the rest of the world would want it as well. But is it really the World’s most powerful Smartphone? Not for long that’s for sure.
