CES 2011, Motorola ATRIX

Hello friends and welcome back to my blog. I am excited to introduce you guys to a very interesting gadget that was introduced during the CES 2011 Las Vegas (Consumer Electronics Show). Let me introduce you to the Motorola ATRIX.



This new baby was one of the biggest excitements during the CES 2011. Before I start with the specs of the Motorola ATRIX, one important fact is that the phone has a laptop dock. The dock is simply a system to which you can connect your phone and it becomes a laptop. Interestingly, the laptop dick looks like a very thin laptop but it actually consists of only a Screen and the battery. Once the phone is connected, the phone’s processor supports the laptop and that is how the laptop dock functions. Once the phone is connected to the dock, you will have a fully functional Firefox web-browser with full flash support.






Now the specs of the phone are s intriguing as the laptop dock system. The Motorola ATRIX has the new generation of Dual Core NVIDIA Tegra 1 GHz Processor. This processor brings phone gaming to a much higher level. Furthermore, the phone is equipped with 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal flash memory. On top of that, the ATRIX supports up to 32GB Micro SDHC card which can surely hold thousands of pictures made with the pretty impressive 5 Mega Pixel Camera and a Front Facing VGA camera. It also records 720p (1280 x 720) video at 30 FPS and it encompasses a LED flash. The screen is a 4.0 inch qHD and the resolution is 540 x 960 pixels. The Motorola ATRIX is also equipped with an HDMI output and the phone will be equipped with Android v2.2.1 (Froyo), although many users are hopeful that the phone will eventually be shipped with the Gingerbread update v2.3.

HTC EVO 4G comming to Sprint Summer 2010

Well, that is how business is done, people! At the Mobile World Congress, Sprint announced that they are bringing something better to the market - HTC EVO 4G running on Android 2.1 OS with SENSE UI on top.( the latest Android OS upgrade ).








The interesting thing is that they announced this concurrently with T-Mobile as they just started selling the HD2. Many users who have already bought HTC HD2, are somewhat regretting it, but only to a certain extent. The Specs of the EVO are similar to HD2.


EVO specs 4.80 x 2.60 x 0.50 inches (122 x 66 x 13 mm)
HTC HD2 specs 4.76 x 2.64 x 0.43 inches (121 x 67 x 11 mm)

As you can see, EVO is a little longer and thicker than HD2, but the HD2 is wider.
While the HTC EVO supports Sprint's 4G network, it is equipped with the same huge screen as the HD2 - 4.3 CAPACITIVE touch screen. The processor of the EVO is 1GZ Qualcomm Snapdragon ( same as HD2 ). However, HTC EVO will have only 512 MB of RAM compared to 576 MB of RAM on HTC HD2, but both devices are equipped with 1GB of ROM.
HTC EVO is equipped with a mini HDMI output with which you can directly plug your phone to your High Definition TV and you will be seeing everything that is happening on your phone directly to your TV with 720p picture! The video bellow shows you a demo of HTC EVO streaming HD video to a High Definition LCD TV




The EVO also supports 720p Video Capturing with the Impressive 8.0 megapixel camera, and not surprisingly it has a secondary camera on the front panel facing you with a 1.3 megapixel sensor. The phone also has a stand so you will be able to watch all your movies in landscape mode and you won`t have to find stuff to put behind your phone in order for it to stay straight ( I have this problem with my G1 phone and it is aggravating! ). Sprint claims that with 4G HTC EVO will reach 10x faster speeds than 3G.
What people are currently debating is whether Sprint will hold to their promise that they will expand the 4G coverage around the US, as currently it is only possible in several metropolitan areas. This is a significant drawback for people debating whether to buy the HD2 now or wait until the Summer when Sprint will begin EVO's sales. Here is a demo of the phone provided by CNET. I must say that phone is pretty amazing... I really don`t know whether I prefer the HD2 or EVO.... I guess only time will show, but lets not forget that there are new phones coming out almost every 2-3 Months! I will be providing you with some more news on possible future devices with the NVIDIA TEGRA 2 Processor, which NVIDIA claims to be 4 times faster than the 1GZ Snapdragon Processor. Please keep visiting my blog occasionally as I will be providing you with the latest technology goodies!
