This speculation gained reputation after a first impression on Friday from the Sony Ericsson Xperia will be released duo. "Judging from the picture after, we expect a 4.5-inch display compared to the 4.2-inch screen of the Xperia arc. It also seems as if it had a rounder shape (almost similar to HTC), in comparison to the more angular Xperia arc.

Xperia duo

The Atrix transmits via the fast HSPA standard and wireless-N, berherscht here even the modern indoor 5 GHz mode. In terms of multimedia, the Atrix is set up not quite as strong, such as the HTC sensation that is recording on its 8 megapixel camera 1080p video. This must match the Atrix - only 720p videos is the 5 megapixel camera, and her falling out with his flashlight LED smaller and darker.

Especially Motorola advertises the device with its special docking station that turns the smartphone Webtop. Notebook, netbook, nettop - what is it please enter Webtop? In a Webtop is a Notebookschasis with keyboard, battery and the usual Eingabgeräten that but does not have its own processor or radio links. A shell that is expensive, the Motorola fails at 11.6 inches tall. At this the Atrix is docked, and even the laptop is ready and is expected to reach its additional hours 36wAH ordinary times. So completely has perfected this design does not, however, the smartphone is protected behind the screen, which works on the bus, train or taxi will be made ​​in the impossible.

Nevertheless, the Motorola Atrix is definitely an interesting device, which with its well-site facilities can compete with the best and fastest devices, even if it sets up no new records.
