The Motorola Atrix 2 was recently launched in India, marking its entry into the local market after being available outside of the country for some time. The device is part of a series that has gained popularity among Android enthusiasts due to its unique features and specifications.
The packaging for the Atrix 2 in India reveals several key features of the device, including dual-core processing, a QHD display, and an 8-megapixel camera. The device also comes with pre-loaded games, which is sure to appeal to gamers looking for a device that can provide hours of entertainment.

Upon unboxing the Atrix 2, we found a USB-to-micro-USB data cable, earphones, and an inline microphone with a push-button design. The earphones are described as having a really nice quality, and they will be put through a test to determine their sound output. Additionally, we found extra covers for the device, including a carrying case, as well as a TV-out lockout feature that was borrowed from Gingerbread.
The device's display is one of its standout features, with a QHD resolution that promises a crisp and clear viewing experience. The screen is described as being really nice, with a design that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. However, we will need to test the device in person to determine if this description holds up.
The Atrix 2's performance was also put through its paces, with the device shown to be responsive and fast on initial impressions. However, like any Android device, there is always more to discover when testing a new device, and we will need to delve deeper into the device's capabilities before making a final judgment.
One of the most interesting features of the Atrix 2 is its camera, which promises high-quality images with an 8-megapixel sensor. The device also comes equipped with various camera settings and modes, including video recording in full HD and a front-facing camera with a VGA resolution. However, we will need to test the camera in person to determine if these promises are met.
The Atrix 2 is running Android 2.3.6, which is currently the latest version of the operating system. As we know that ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) has been released recently and it's being designed and optimized for this device, it should perform very well with ICS coming soon.
In terms of dialing and messaging, the Atrix 2 offers a large size dialer that promises to make video calls. The keypad is also described as having predictive text with suggestions, providing an efficient way to type out messages. Additionally, the device comes equipped with haptic feedback, which will provide users with a tactile sensation when typing on the screen.
The camera features of the Atrix 2 are worth exploring further. To put this into practice, we give the camera a power-up and take it for a spin. The device allows us to switch between the rear-facing camera, which records full HD video and offers various modes, including single shot, panorama shot, or multi-shot.
In addition to these features, we can also use the front-facing camera with VGA resolution, despite its low megapixel count, this still seems pretty decent when tested on screen. Now that we've seen everything this device has to offer, it's time for our final thoughts and impressions of the Atrix 2.
Overall, the Motorola Atrix 2 is an Android device that promises high-quality images, a responsive display, and a wide range of features that are sure to appeal to tech enthusiasts. We're excited to dive deeper into its capabilities in our upcoming field review, where we'll put the Atrix 2 through its paces and determine if it's a worthy competitor to other dual-core devices on the market.
