I will. I miss a big screen....
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I'll check it out, that big screen is great and I haven't found a use for having a Tegra 2 (not into gaming on the phone, I'll use a tablet/pc/console for that). Side-loading is enabled by default, so it will probably have true custom roms/kernels too (I'm guessing the bootloader will not be locked down).
I'm going to have a look at it. I agree about not really using tegra fully (yet). How much RAM does Infuse have?

Meh....im not that impressed honestly. 4.5" is too big for a phone screen...way too big.
I'm not as interested in the Infuse as I think I will be in the Galaxy S II. I am hoping that it isn't far behind in coming to AT&T. I will be due for another upgrade in July, so I will have to see how it holds up to the Atrix.
Looking at the specs it just seems like a big Captivate that runs a little faster with a bigger brighter screen. It's an improvement but not a generation jump (like say the Atrix, Sensation or Galaxy II).

i am interested only in its category 14 theoretical 21 Mbs download speeds. compare that to the Atrix which is only cat 10 and at max theoretical top out at only 14.4 Mbs. In real world usage, in areas where i get full HSPA bars, I never get pass 2.5Mbs so pretty disappointment.
I just want a decent phone that has a front camera and dual core. I wanna try this phone out but I somehow am taking a step back expecially since the SGS2 just passed FCC.

It's sort of a step back when compared to the Atrix, but the Atrix has given me some issues that I never had with the Captivate, plus the cameras on the Infuse are much better!! I just hope the Infuse's battery compares to the Atrix's and that the GPS turns out great!
i initially thought it would be dual core and i was tempted
later found out its only a single
no thanks

dell streak ftw
no hdmi port
I love the Artix's 16GB internal memory, 1GB RAM, and 1930 mAh battery. If the Infuse came with that, it would be a serious contender. Still don't know how that huge screen won't kill the battery in an hour.
1500mah battery with a 4.5" SAMOLED+? No thanks, SAMOLED+ uses the crap out of the battery, so the life on this one will be less than adequate. Going to keep my atrix.
It dose have sideloading enabled

This review is not making me wish I had waited. Look at that less-than epic benchmark score...not to mention the battery consumption is not stellar. Lots of red flags on that thing for me, and it's $100 more than the Atrix. Meh.
It will probably kill inspire sales in about 5 minutes. It seems to be better in about every way.

Yea its marketed to beat the inspire and phones with similar specs. It really isn't ment to compete against a flagship phone like the atrix, they're using sgs2 for that.

I'm leaving T-Mobile and my beloved HD2 and switching to AT&T and getting the Infuse.
Costco has it on sale for $169.99 starting on May 12th!
The specs are good enough for me, 1.2GHz Processor, 16gb internal, S-AMOLED Plus display, HSPA+ (21mbps), HDMI via MHL, 1750 mAh battery,
Dual-core devices have yet to amaze me. I used my HD2 with CM7 for awhile and was able to run many of the programs/games like many of the recent devices.
And its the first AT&T android device that allows side-loading of apps without the need for a root. So I can just take all my apk's that I have on my 16GB microSD from my HD2 and install away!
Yeah yeah, I've seen the similar threads but they're not up to date especially with gingerbread released. I'm due for an upgrade on the 26th and want to get a new phone before college in mid August. I've posted a similar forum excluding the nexus on the gs2 forum, but I want to hear the other side. I prefer the 4" screen, but also want to root and not have motoblur, and I hear the phone lags when you do that. I realize the nexus s is single core but are dual cores that much faster with current software? I like longer battery life and an led notfier since I'm coming from a blackberry Curve. Can anyone say how the screens compare, I've heard the pentile display is terrible, but have yet to see for myself. Finally I'm told that the atrix does not have neon support, is that a difference for the average user? Thanks in advance.

I've had a nexus s and it does not lag at all, neither does my atrix. Single core or dual core it doesn't seem to make a difference to me. In my experience the atrix has better battery life. As far as the screens go that's a matter of opinion, the samoled seems more vibrant but is utterly useless in sunlight. As much as I hate BLUR, I chose the atrix over the nexus s and once we have an AOSP Rom I will have no regrets whatsoever.

I had the nexus s, it wasn't much of an improvement over my custom rommed Captivate, so I took it back. I was also looking forward to the Galaxy S2's release in America, until I got Gingerbread on my Atrix. There is no way the GS2 will be a substantial improvement over my Atrix now.
The Motorola Atrix was voted as the best phone at CES, and with Gingerbread it lives up to those accolades. Froyo and the ridiculous price of the lapdock killed this phone's initial release.
Take a look at the top results on Smartbench 2011, there is a reason Samsung delayed the GS2's release and overclocked it to 1.2ghz. Once the Atrix gets overclocked to 1.5ghz, those top results will change.

If you want to play normal or hi profile x264 it does.
Really annoying to have to re-encode to baseline x264. For xxxx's sake this phone can push 3D pixels like Samurai Vengeance II but can't handle HD video encoding, WTF.
I had nexus so and atrix together for two weeks. There is major performance difference between the two. Nexus s's 512 mb ram was the deal breaker for me, it was not enough. I think I'm spoiled by the 1gb ram.

I would stay away from the Nexus S. Ya, it's Raw Goog but the sub-par RAM, single core chip and cheap plastic construction just aren't worth it especially on a new contract.
I'm loving my Atrix on GB, rooted, de-blurred (Titanium freeze) and running Go Launcher EX. I experience no lag, web browser is lighting fast, GPS is the best I've experienced from a phone. That's my experience and opinion. Considering the timing of your upgrade I would suggest checking the SG2 out as it may be more to your liking. Some people like Sammy HW some don't (I personally hate it, especially their damn "Chin" design philosophy).
That said, you cannot go wrong with the Atrix, it's an excellent phone. I traded in my Inspire 4G at a loss and don't regret my decision one bit.
Oh, and DL/UL speed in Houston, TX I've been averaging 3.5mb down (6 max) and 1.3mb up (2.1 max). Inspire 4G never made it over 2.5 down (1 Ghz. w/ 768mb RAM). Atrix is on par with my friend's EVO 4G (Sprint WiMax, he avgs 2-3 but has a max he's gotten of 7 once) and another friend's T-Bolt (Verizon LTE, 5-6 avg and a max of 8). And yes processor and RAM do affect your up/down as it's partially determined by the amount of data your phone can process, another reason to stay away from the S at this point.

Might have been my thread. I apologize, but I was wrong. Even tough performance has increased substantially (from 8-10 fps to an average of 24) when playing high profile h.264, it still isnt perfectly smooth and, for some reason, the episodes of Game of Thrones were mute for me, which indicates a continuing lack of support to audio codecs. After converting it with the Handbrake method, it worked flawlessly.
@OP
The Atrix and the SGS2 have different offerings. SGS2 has a standardly overclocked processor, a bigger, brighter screen, less weight, and a GPU accelerated browser. The Atrix has a much higher pixel density, better battery life, and a specialized game store (Nvidia Tegra Zone which, despite the lack of titles in numbers, the ones it DOES have possess highly improved graphics over standard versions).
And for many of us, it has a lapdock, which is a perfect netbook replacement if all you do is work with word, excel, and light web browsing, being lighter and having better battery life than many netbooks. Its also fun like hell to play at customizing it
I like the overall build with the Motorola Atrix, but without the GPU accelerated and NEON support, would I be at a significant hardware disadvantage for everyday use? I feel I wouldn't. Also, any complaints about the screen?
Okay. Opera provides a gpu accelerated browser that is blazing fast. The screen is really nice, but you may notice grainy greens.
Edit: oh, neon support isn't an issue, at least for me. Most of my videos can be played using moboplayer.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
The atrix also is not sized like a giant brick but weighing like a feather toy (the #1 reason I didn't go for the SGS2). Form factor wins for me. Not to mention in Australia, atrix is 150-200 dollars cheaper.
I would say though with froyo it is noticeably inferior. But that's no longer an issue, whether stock or unlock BL/custom ROM.
If you want a big screen and fast phone....sgs2, if you want sething new and try some mods atrix, if yu are a hard modder HD2

Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
Inpsire, no contest. It's a little on the oversaturated side, but the Atrix uses the abysmal pentile sub-pixel layout so it's fuzzy and has a green bias.
Inspire has better colors.
Atrix has a higher resolution.
Choose based on your preference.

Not entirely true. The Atrix has 1,036,800 sub-pixels, the Inspire has 1,152,000. So although the Atrix is advertised as having a higher resolution it actually has fewer sub-pixels.
Atrix hands down.
I just know my friends infuse for games look 100x clearer so was just wondering for inspire as well.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
Also be aware there is an issue with the Atrix touch panel, after ~10 seconds of contact that area of the touchscreen will stop responding and you will have to lift your finger and touch again. It doesn't matter for many applications, but games like Galaxy on Fire or emulators with virtual thumbsticks are a bit of a pain to play.
I think the biggest problem with the Atrix screen resolution is a good amount of games don't show properly due to the resolution difference. I have a handful of games that run with blackbars and don't form properly.
So games will look better on inspire though correct? ?

Agreed. If you own the Atrix long enough you get used to the screen, but in a head to head comparison with Super AMOLED+ there is no competition. Another plus is that the touch panel and the display are the same piece of glass on the Inspire so there isn't the same air-gap you get with the Atrix.
I think some of you are confusing the HTC INSPIRE with the SAMSUNG INFUSE
2 different screens here!

The inspire is not a superamoled + display it is a s-lcd.
atrix screen is nothing to gloat about.
i think we all bought this phone because of it being a beast inside. the screen is good enough where it doesnt take away from its awesomeness too much.
so yeah -- inspire wins screen comparison.
but id take dualcore, 1gb ram, qHD over s-lcd/saomled any day.
Yeah theres massive confusion on this thread, the Inspire looks like ass next to an Atrix. The Infuse looks like GOD next to nearly everything else. Yes I've owned all 3. The Inspire has a lower resolution on a larger screen, mine looks fuzzy to me after using my Atrix for just a few days. However my Inspire running CM7 or MIUI pretty much runs right with my Atrix running Alien with the 1.1Ghz OC. Only gaming issue I've had with the Atrix are that some games (Order and Chaos Online) aren't available on the market for it.

holding both phones side by side the inspire does have a better look to it.. my atrix seems to display yellow oddly.. not a big issue but its odd.. the atrix is much crisper but with the extra landscape the inspire has and its running ADRevolution 5.2.4 with sense 3.0 apps its not a contest the inspire is a phone i shouldn't have given to her .. my two cents

LOL! Since when does Inspire have a SAMOLED+ display?
Why do I keep seeing the same thing on here... the atrix is made for power and performance, not for having the best 4" screen you can look at. I mean honestly, its a 4" screen! Look how clear my screen is when I hold it inches from my face lol I plug my HDMI cable into a 55" Samsung 3d tv when I am worried about graphics and color rendering. We have devs working on landscape too. I prefer beast mode with lightning response time over my amazing 4" screen.

Im not biased to any phone. I like anything new and high powered. Cant get me wrong I love my Atrix but the Galaxy S II is tempting.
i'm pretty happy with my Atrix, i think i'm gonna hold off on upgrading until a decent quad core phone comes out on the market.
Not enough of an upgrade to think about it.
The Devs have really just started to take this phone to its capabilities so worth hanging in for a while longer.

When the SGSII came out back in... May(ish), it seems liked I should have not gotten an Atrix and waited for the SGSII to come to AT&T. the SGSII had a bigger screen, faster CPU, no Blur, no locked bootloader, and already had a pre-beta of Cyanogen out within two weeks of the phone hitting the international market.
Fast Foward to today. The Atrix has an unlocked bootloader, a *solid* beta of CM7, MIUI in the works, a bigger battery, and the performance is close to that of the SGS (in CM7 while OC'd) - in some tests it is noticeabley faster.
The SGSII also seems to have some hardware issues that have been reported. Yellowing of the screen on the left side is the most reported issue.
Now look to the future because the SGSII isn't going to come out for another two weeks. Should we have all waited to get an SGSII? No way, not IMHO. I was sitting on an iPhone 3GS for months and months after I was eligible for an upgrade, I was just waiting until something big came out or the phone died. I'll be honest, at first I did regret my Atrix purchase at times. Software versus 4.1.26 had a TON of bugs in it, 4.1.57 did too. 4.1.83 was solid, and when we got GB the phone was pretty solid. Now with CM7 I have no complaints over the phone at all, and I'm glad I didn't suffer with my iPhone 3GS for the last 7 months (I bougt the Atrix on release day) waiting for the SGSII after returning the Atrix to wait for the SGSII.
If I had waited this long for the SGSII with my iPhone 3GS, I would likely pass up the SGSII and wait for more info on the Nexus Prime.

One thing I don't miss going from my captivate to atrix is in the power usage menu "display" being like 95%. I don't know why they say SAMOLED use less power. I know the screen on the sgs and sgs2 is different but they're close enough IMO. Also after all the BS with GPS and poor update from Samsung I don't know if I could buy another. As far as specs....IMO I don't think it's worth the upgrade the specs are really similar. The only reason I might be tempted is for the dev support.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
as someone who has had both i can assure you the atrix is a much more all-around solid piece of hardware.
like reported above the screen on the SGSii may be bigger but it has its issues (yellow left on most handsets and battery consumption).
the battery is simply way worse then atrix.
and what got to me the most about going back to the atrix was the sound quality, it was simply horrendous, especially for a high-end phone like that.
the sound chip on it is sub-par compared to the original SGS even, with high end headphones i was getting distortions, low volume, and very un-even sound, to anyone who wants to listen to music on his phone this one simply kills the deal.
atrix has a very very good audio experience compared.
same goes for call quality.
and the phone doesnt even have a led for notifications.
also doesnt have an hdmi-out without you buying some special cable adapter.
what does seem to be on its side is a huge dev base working on it and realeasing things daily but the atrix is starting to catch up... just give it some time.
either way upgrading from a atrix to a galaxy 2 is pretty stupid, except for a bit larger screen you really dont get anything in return for all that cash.
i'd wait atleast another year before ditching the atrix. theres simply nothing today that it cant handle so why buy another "future proof" phone when your current one is still "future proof"
Definitely sticking with my atrix <3

I'd rather have an atrix with an average screen than have a SAMOLED that destroys my battery. I have an upgrade available and being 100% honest I'm waiting for a new BB QNX mobile phone to drop next year. The new 9810 with os7 was actually a pretty big step forward in speed and functionality and supposedly QNX will be able to run Android apps as well. Not saying it's gonna be the king of phones but it looks pretty cool.

The newer Super AMOLED Plus displays have more sub-pixels and they do not use pentile anymore which also helps eliminate the "grainy" look. I would still like to see qHD but I don't think there is going to be much to complain about on these screens.

I would think no. They are similar but probably use different coding, wait for an atrix 2 forum. I don't understand how they can even call the atrix 2 a successor of the atrix, it has less features! Granted it has a newer SoC and better camera, but less storage, no fingerprint scanner! This phone is of mid range quality for when it was released and should not have been named atrix 2. Maybe atrix S lol.

Maybe atrix S lol.

Haven't gone into AT&T recently, but the specs are on their website.

I actually got one, the build quality feels a bit better and the battery door is leaps and bounds better if you ask me. Has the 8 MP Camera, 1080P inherent video recording. The UI is MUCH better than the Stock Blur UI and you don't have to register out of the box like you do when you have a Blur Rom. Even without a Custom UI and Kernel the phone actually does feel a bit snapper than the original but I am sure others will say the exact opposite considering it is really all based on the user and what they are using the phone for and how many apps are installed etc.

It is perfectly understand able that the ui has improved, it has been a while since the atrix release. My point was I don't think they should have made the atrix 2 yet or call this the atrix 2. They took away a key feature that made this phone unique. The SoC upgrade makes the camera HD possible, that's about all I can see. Probably a good phone but not cutting edge like it was beginning this year.
Idk if they have made a dev forum yet, or which devs have this phone. Give it some time and it will most liked happen.

Also, the screen is much better. It's much nicer at 4.3" (the sweet spot IMHO) and no pentile baloney (according to techworld: link). Just from my subjective experience the screen is much clearer and brighter as well.
Lastly, Best Buy bought back my old atrix for $161, and since I bought my atrix at costco for $20, I got my atrix 2 for -90 dollars.
Hopefully some of the amazing devs get one so we can have some sweet hacking love....
Speaking of which, if I can help any dev by providing some kind of dump or w/e, I'm game, just toss me a PM.
hdmi mirroring enabled
One of the most important thing they did add was hdmi mirroring. So no need to add any hacks or mods to get that enabled and also outputs it with sound.
FYI: atrix 2 doesnt come with hdmi cable.
Motorola used all of the internal space for apps and gave atrix 2 a smaller internal storage. I had to buy a 8gb micro sd card b/c they only provided 2gb card.
Did some benmarks with quadrant the best that i got was 2441 total fps.
Did Linpack benmrk for cpu 64.872 MFLOPS.
Dont like the fact that they didnt do dual band for wireless. (2.4/5ghz). It has autofocus 8MP camera.
Overall not bad for only $49.99 at best buy.
