I just bought an Atrix, and I thought I would post a little review because in all my research before I bought the phone, I did not find one which said what I needed to hear. Hopefully this is useful and objective.
I have owned a OG Droid, Samsung Fascinate, Nexus S, Galaxy S, and this Atrix so I feel like I have good grounds for comparison.
Out of the box...
The Good: The phone's hardware is top notch. The specs are awesome.
The Bad: The Motorola Atrix in completly stock form (the one I bought anyways) is very buggy and laggy. When I first unboxed it and was doing my initial set up and installing a few apps, a number of different programs forced close. The whole experience was slow and frustrating. I would rate Moto Blur as simply horrible and disgusting.
The fact that Motorola was able to take a tegra 2 powered phone with 1GB of DDR2 ram and make it run choppy is beyond me.
With that being said... If you don't know how to or do not plan on rooting, or modifying the software on your phone, I would highly recommended you avoid the Atrix.
If you are a fan of tinkering and modifying, then the Atrix is a great choice.
I have only noticed lag for the first 15-30 seconds after power on. None after that...
Motoblur means nothing to me, and doesn't really seem to slow down my phone. I had lunch with a bunch of other android users, and they were all impressed by the atrix' snappiness...
One thing I remembered when I had the atrix was unlocking the phone and using it was extremely laggy and slow for the first few seconds. I confirmed this with 2 other store demos. If you swipe your finger or do the pattern unlock, try bringing down the notification bar immediately. It'll be slow and choppy but if you wait a couple seconds and then try again, it'll be fine. Always annoyed me at how LONG it took to unlock the phone and get it going compared to every other android phone I've owned.
I have had no issues with performance at all on my device. It's lightning quick. The most impressive for me wasn't the CPU speed, but the file access speed. That thing installs, uninstalls, and loads applications retarded fast. They made a good choice of hardware right there.

The only lag I've noticed is for a few seconds after the initial boot up, which is understandable. To say it is very laggy and buggy is crazy. Perhaps the unit you had was defective.

Sounds like you may have a buggy device... Ive had three of them so far (one was replaced due to what I perceived to be a faulty battery and my wife also uses one). And I've not seen any of the lag you're talking about...
If it was a big enough occurance don't you think you would've read about it on these forums? This place is packed with android super users... no ones having problems like that ...

.... the fingerprint scanner makes it real quick to unlock the phone.... and it's not easy enough to be accidentally pocket-unlocked like some other unlocking systems i've seen.... such as i think HTC's, where you just slide the one thing down. Hell, with the one pair of shorts i have, i was actually able to see the screen on my iPhone 4 when i had it, and unlock it THROUGH THE SHORTS if i wanted to.
And i think it'd be expected for things to be going a tad slow as soon as it's woken up. Look at computers. Whether it's booting... sleeping... hibernating.... if you expect to be able to do something without any form of lag the second either of those are recovered from, you'd be sorely mistaken.

Sounds like a great comment from a non-Atrix user? Maybe I'm wrong though?
The Atrix is fine for people who like to tinker. The only thing we can't do is overclock our processors and change ROMs every 3 seconds. Other than that I have free tethering, no ads, root, no bloatware, free webtop thanks to a hack and a pseudo-ROM/theme loaded. Yeah too bad I can't tinker with it. *eyes rolling*

NICE!!!!!! glad someone finally said something... I mean sure u can't load cyanogen but with the way things are going with these "pseudo" roms if cyanogen put some effort into making one of those for the atrix would that not be a sufficient fix??? Because lets face it doubt the BL will be unlocked soo instead of putting all that effort I to unlocking it how about taking g advantage of the capabilities that we do have.... ???? Just sayen

Haha didn't really mean to come off as a jerk but I'm just sick of reading people's posts in the ATRIX forum hating on the phone. If it's not the phone for you so what go to the forum of the device you like!
I hope to also see some cool themes/pseudo-ROMs made available. At least we have Ken right now working his butt off on GingerBlur!

i have an atrix, i guess we just have different opinions on tinkering...i do like the change roms often and be able to upgrade to the newest android version without having to wait for the manufacture. theres so much more you can do when you open up the kernel, most of the bugs that people are having would be solved if the devs can get at the kernel. Why do you think developers are leaving the Atrix? there's only so much you can do with a locked bootloader. i never said i hated the phone(i wouldnt of bought it if i did) i just dont think it's a good phone for modding but hopefully that will change...

same with mine.. the ATT version of the Atrix must be loaded with crapware making the phone slow down. My Bell version flies right out of the box, even when using Motoblur!

It's still in Beta at 7.2 now. However I believe the webtop that was removed in the previous version was the hack to make it work with just an HDMI cable so you don't need the dock to make it work. I am on 7.2 and I have the webtop hack installed and it works perfect on my TV through just the HDMI cable.
I am really enjoying the ATRIX. I was starting to get a little burnt out on installing new ROMS every couple days or weeks. This is however my first Android phone...coming from the WinMo forums...This phone is like night and day compared to my old Tilt 2.
People have such harsh and strong opinions on everything on forums. These 'reviews' should be read as objectively as possible.

Welcome Brother I'm in the same boat =P tilt 2 to atrix is an amazingly wonderful jump ~!
I came from a captivate where roms are readily available. I enjoyed flashing and it was awesome to see how a device can mature. But the kernel development is where things truly shine. But even after all the flashing I just felt like things didn't quite work right. I thought it was the fact that 99% of the roms were based off the international galaxy s.
I love my atrix. Everything works. The battery life is awesome. The phone really flies. Motoblur sucks but its been taken care of. As long as we get more roms ill be happy. Unlocked bootloader would be nice but I don't see it happening

out of 10 times I only had to slid my finger twice once. The finger print reader scans much better now also. Battery life has gone up. Screen brightness has increased along with sharpness of pics. The pics I've transfered to my phone I took with my dslr looked washed out before. Now they look exactly like they should. Touch screen is more responsive now I think its a good and bad thing. I get more accidental selects now due to it.

Are you over exaggeraring? Be honest. Because if this is the case, I may be willing to give up root for it.
Your telling me that the camera and screen quality is better? Are you certain that the lock screen slider is much more responsive?
Edit
Sorry one more thing. Do you think the new added responsiveness only applies to blur? Im using launcher pro, do you think that would become more responsive? Thanks

I did initially think the camera was crap until I viewed its pictures on my PC, so I know what you're talking about. But... would software really be able to save the natural crappiness of AMOLED PenTile?
Sofware could fix this and the atrix is not AMOLED just pentile

Is the update still only available to beta testers?
From all the posts it makes it seem it is available for anyone though a check for updates does nothing for me.
Personally, I would caution everyone before updating. There are numerous issues behind the scenes that need to be worked out. Can not divulge details, but I would personally wait until it has been tested further.

I've never used blur on my phone. The first app I put on it as soon as it was opened was luncher pro so I can't say how blur acts now. Its not the camera that has improved its the display of the phone. I do believe it can be done by software by adjusting the phones display (I.E. changing gama and other little behind the scenes things to make colors stand out more)
From what I know the update should be pushed out today. It does take some time and I thought my phone froze up while updating but it just takes time after the phones its first reboot so be patient. As far as brightness goes having it turned down as low as it can get its still brighter then it was before at 20-30%. I use to keep the phone at about 15-20% and now with it turned down as much as I can get it, it is still brighter then before.

Is there a time frame I should be worried about here? Im rooted, have the webtop hack, and the adeo rom. Do I need to put all this back to stock before a certain time or ill miss out on the update?
The only thing I would be sacrificing is root. I am new to android, in your guys experience, how long does it take for updates to get rooted after they are released. I just don't think I want to give up root yet because I enjoy freezing all this CRAP that moto put on the phone.

So the update will be "pushed" to the phones automatically if not rooted? Our does it need to be downloaded from MOTO...?

If you're not up to date and you do a system update check, if there is any new updates, it should finded it. But as far as I know, the updates will be there if your phone is not up to date...
Rooting an update depends on the dev community backing the phone has, i.e. Droid X, which I had, updates were basically rooted within a day or so, look at the DX with the just released GB, it has a method for rooting already... and this phone doesn't look like it has as much dev backing, so it can take a while..
If you've done mods to your phone, and you try to update and it fails, it's most likey the mods are the ones stoping the updates, as it does checks on certain system files that need to match..
The update sounds great but I think ill wait for everyone to experiment with it first, then when the root comes out ill make the jump. Sounds like a lot of things that bothered me are fixed though. Too bad I can't grab it yet
I honestly probably would, im just scared as hell to try and remove these Adeo nods. The process looks involved. And I think I even read something that said wifi could break? Scary stuff

Hey there! Well I had an S6 last year and I sold it mainly for 2 reasons: 1) Awful battery life. And 2) Because I got used to onscreen buttons (I had an LG G3 before the S6) and I just couldn't go back to a physical home button lol.
As far as battery life, my personal opinion and experience is that the 6P is a LOT better than the S6. Even out of the box, without tweaking it that much. Now if you get a custom kernel and you tweak that then even better.
As far as custom roms go, I've only tried two, Pure Nexus and Chroma and they are both very stable, haven't had any issues with them. So that could be a good place to start and then maybe if you want get a custom kernel too.
This is my first Nexus phone and I've been having a lot of fun tweaking it, playing with root, different roms, kernels, things I never did with my previous phones but with this one I took the plunge. The people here at XDA are extremely talented and always willing to help.
Hope this helps you

I can't give you a very informed opinion on that one honestly. All I can tell you is that mine hasn't experienced any bending issues, I use it with a dbrand skin and no case.
I've seen in several places that the issue got blown out of proportion, but I can't be sure just how many people have been affected by that. So maybe search here to see people's opinions
As far as switching from the S6 to the 6P, I say hell YES, do it! Don't think you'll be disappointed. I never looked back.

My 6T would arrive tomorrow, my nexus 6p died couple days ago and 6T is the way to go!! I heard that the stock ROM on 6T is really good already, since I haven't taken a look at it, I am not sure what additional feature I can get from the custom ROM? Or should I even bother flashing a custom ROM? Please don't get me wrong, I do think all custom ROM must be fantastic, I am just not sure what the difference are yet.
Another question if you don't mind, I watched some 6T review on YouTube, I see that the speed is fast, but not smooth, they did a comparison between 6T and iphone xs, xs provides much better user experience on animation. I see that we can change the animation speed on developer mode, but since I haven't gotten the phone yet, would that provide the same experience as XS did? Or is there any custom ROM out here can do it?
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you very much

This is my first oneplus device as well. I was fortunate enough to be broke until the McLaren came out. I'm rooted and magisk with a custom kernel. I can't think of anything else I would want that you can't do with magisk. Try stock and see what you think. This phone is great! I walk around like Ron Jeremy wearing skinny jeans with this device. There's a confidence that comes with this phone.
Comparing this phone to an iPhone XS is like comparing apples to mailboxes. iOS is a completely closed ecosystem, where Android is not. Of course things are going to "look better" on an iPhone because apps and the operating system itself are designed specifically for the hardware and vice versa. I can't stand iPhones, and I'll say this is easily the best Android phone I've ever had. With a few minor tweaks, you should be able to get whatever result you're after, because the hardware in the 6T is top notch.
Stock OOS now is much more stable than every custom ROM now, so i will suggest you to try stock OOS, may be with Magisk (ROOT) and see, what you can achieve with that.
At this moment no customs have working FP, but devs are working on it. If you don't mind about FP - go and try any of it.
What is fp?
Finger print scanner.
Keep it stock, it's great. Keep it at least until FP is supported in custom.

I do agree with you, I am not trying to compare 6T with XS, I always use Android phone. What I do like about XS is the smoothness experience it provides to users, 6T's speed is over-killing XS, but I can definitely tell XS is smoother than 6T in the UI part from the video, which I think everyone would like to have that in their own phone.
And of course!!! This is the best Android phone we can get for this price!!! I am happy I am going to have this phone tomorrow!! Really exited.

I did usqe a a custom kernel and I think it may have improved the battery a little bit, but other than that I disable a couple apps and I use greenify. I dont think I could drain this phone in one day if I tried. I am using an app called Magic Fluids as my live wallpaper with the graphics turned all the way and it's not even the least bit warm. Cool app for showing off. Here's a Pic of kinda what it does.

Hey Guys
Just bought a 128GB 3T today.. picked it up for £180.. as new condition with charger, but no box...
really impressed with how fast and smooth it is.. and that we are getting P shortly even after 2 years..
Running OS 508, Camera is really fantastic for a 2 year old phone and can easily match an S7 or an S8.. Single speaker is pretty loud and clear, and headphone audio is stunning on a pair of AKGs., but still testing battery life and SoT
I came from a Nokia 7 Plus.. I changed due to Nokia failing to fix the Wifi non-connection issue since November.. Camera is not that great and making and receiving Phonecalls don't always connect (phone is often dead or "number does not exist" message)..which is a shame, because its great to see Nokia coming back from Microsoft.
My only gripe with my 3T is I find the in-call volume abit low.. although Ive read this is a common problem..
Anyway, very pleased with this great device...

Not everybody has an issue with the volume. I, for one, am happy with the way it is in my phone, so I've not needed to use the fix.

Still using my 3T as my daily driver (as I'm sure is the same for most of the folks still on this device forum section). I know a newer phone will be faster/smoother. You often don't realize how much faster a new phone will be, until you actually make that switch. But for now, the 3T does all I need or want it to.
To a large extent, we are hitting the point of diminishing returns for buying a new smartphone every year (or even 2 years or more). Folks are increasingly starting to skip upgrades, as the performance difference or new features don't justify the price (especially $1000 or more for a "flagship" iPhone, Samsung, etc.).
Just as important, still a decent sized community here for this device. Getting a little quiet. But still a lot of helpful members, ROM development, etc.
Welcome to the club!
Still rocking with my 3T as-well.
I realized that performance-wise, the 3T covers all my needs from a smartphone, so upgrading to a newer chipset is purely a waste of my money.
The only thing that will cause me to upgrade is the "outer shell" of the phone.
I am not a big fan of notches to say the least, so up until now, I held back from upgrading.
With the 7 coming out, i'll have to re-asses my stand

I can't stand those notches either! It drives me nuts that the manufacturers think that protruding a big notch onto the screen is preferable in order to make the bezel a little smaller. Or really the main reason all the manufacturers are doing this, is because Apple did it, and the other companies feel like they need to copy it. Same as removing the headphone jack. No consumers actually like this, it's only because Apple did it, and all the other companies follow like lemmings.
My wife bought me the 3T just over 2 years ago for £475.
I removed the plastic screen protector after the first year, second year I started playing about with custom ROMs. It's an amazing device, I plan on keeping it for as long as possible. No slow down, still does what I need and plays the games I play (which are not many) and your right the camera is pretty amazing. You should install the gcam port and the pictures become much better.
Suggest me a best custom ROM with good gaming performance

Don't know about "best" as the best for you might not be the best for somebody else.
Suggest you try a few out.
I am using Ressurection Remix and very happy with it.
How is the gaming performance?
I still does not feel to change the device. I love 3T, I own iPhone and 6T but again back to 3T. Even after 2.5 yrs still looks and feel good in hand.

Off topic. Has nothing to do with this thread.
There is also a "best ROM" thread at the top of the Q&A section, with plenty of recommendations.

Can u please provide me the link of the thread
Thnx in advance
This year I started using the OnePlus 3T 64GB to replace the OnePlus 2 I had for 2/3 years
So far I'm getting 1 day standby out of it with some decent youtube and general use.
It doesn't look as though OnePlus are going to release an official Android 9 release (Boo!) Looks like custom ROMs then.
I might also but a One Plus 5. I don't like newer devices with a notch and no home button - am I stuck in the past?

Hey. A year ago I checked the gcam port. The front camera only clicked photos in 4mp resolution in OOS.
Has that been fixed? If yes I'll have to update my gf's 3T with the fix.

Are you talking about the flashable zip? I tried flashing it at that time and it didn't fix it for me on stock OOS
