The Motorola Atrix 2 is a high-end Android-based smartphone by Motorola. Originally announced on October 11, 2011, it is the successor to the Atrix 4G. This phone was succeeded by the Motorola Atrix HD.

Features

[edit]

The Motorola Atrix 2 has a one-gigahertz dual-core Texas Instruments OMAP processor with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage. It has a 4.3" display with a resolution of 960 x 540. Unlike its predecessor, the Atrix 2 does not use the PenTile matrix. The phone runs Android 2.3 . On October 9, 2012, an OTA update to Android 4.0.4 was released in the United States. The phone supports AT&T's HSPA+ network.

Webtop

[edit]

Similarly to the Atrix 4G, the Atrix 2 features Motorola's Webtop software, which allows the use of an Ubuntu-based desktop environment to browse the internet using Firefox, manage files, and access applications on the phone itself through a Mobile View window.[1][2]

Upon the upgrade to Android 4.0, the Webtop mode was changed to use Android's built-in interface for tablets instead of a separate operating system environment, allowing direct use of apps already present on the device (which sometimes offer layouts optimized for larger displays).[3]
