I've got an Atrix HD, ask me anything

**Jerry Hildenbrand** · 07-12-2012, 04:40 PM

Our Atrix HD review unit just got here, and this is a great place to pose your questions. I'll answer some here, some in the review, and promise to get to as many as I can.

GOGOGO!

**leobenveniste** · 07-12-2012, 04:49 PM

Here's a few question out of the top of my head:

How's the display, it's not pentile, right?
Second, how are the soft buttons, from the pr image they seemed to be on transparent background and not black like stock Android.
3rd, is there a fingerprint scanner like the original atrix? I liked that feature, specially for a "business ready" kinda device, from the security point of view

Thanks!

Does it feel like an ICS experience? I thought I read somewhere it does in fact have blur.

**nmyeti** · 07-12-2012, 04:53 PM

Is it the same very light moto skin that we have on the Razr now? Also what processor is this guy using?

**abalboa3** · 07-12-2012, 04:56 PM

Does it have NFC?

Is there a status light?

Is the smaller screen size noticeable compared to the GS 3?

Seems like a lot of wasted real estate.

Signal Strength vs other LTE devices in low coverage?

How does the 331 ppi screen on the Atrix HD compare with the HTC One X?

Motorola's website says its a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.5 GHz Dual-Core , but they didn't say which one

I second that

**rmkilc** · 07-12-2012, 06:48 PM

Will it blend? JK, but is the battery removable?

**IceDree** · 07-12-2012, 06:48 PM

Hi Jerry,
I have couple of questions too,

- Does it have HDMI mirroring ?
- does it have Motorola's Messaging App , where you have all your Texts, Emails, Twitter, Facebook, Photobucket, Fliker, YouTube & LinkedIN in one place?

Thanks

**guinnkevinr** · 07-12-2012, 06:59 PM

Looks much fatter than the razr and a bit fatter than the razr maxx. Can you confirm?

**giper54** · 07-12-2012, 08:53 PM

How would you rank it against the one x and s3?

No NFC.

I also have the HD.

Yes there's a status light to the left of the side at the top.

The screen is AMAZING. Let me tell you that. The screen doesn't seem smaller or really noticeable compared to the GS 3.

Thinnest phone in AT&T portfolio of phones they sell.

it's 8.4MM as far as thickness goes.

Yes it has HDMI mirroring.

It has "AT&T's Messages" but that is all I see under all apps and "Messenger" app.

Same as the S3 and the One X.

Honestly, I would put it right in the mix with those two. It has the same processor as those two. It's basically a premium phone at half the price. If you lay out the specs for the 3 phones and compare them you will see that for $99 it makes perfect sense to go with this phone or at least give it a try. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Here's a macro shot taken from .

As you can see, no pentile. Also, just about every hands-on I've seen has noted that the display is gorgeous.

Not Pentile. Display is good. One X makes you say "wow". RAZR Makes you say "ewww". This is just a good screen.

Nope. Stupid, isn't it?

Yes
Different. The software buttons make the experience totally different.

Haven't been able to test LTE yet. Have to take a road trip this weekend.

It doesn't. The screen is good, but side by side the One X is still the best screen you'll find on any device. But, the screen on the Atrix HD does not disappoint -- you won't be returning the phone over it.

Yes to HDMI mirroring, No on Moto messaging (This ATT branded unit has ATT messaging)

Thicker than the RAZR, about the same as the MAXX to the eye.

I wouldn't

If you want TW, get the S3. If you want Sense, get the One X. This one runs Blur

**duckbear** · 07-13-2012, 07:43 AM

---Phonearena posted some benchmark tests on atrix HD. The scores seemed to be disappointed. How does the unit feel in real life in terms of performance?
---How does it hold in your hand and pockets?
Thanks.
