Motorola Atrix 4G Unboxing

2011-02-22
what's up everyone jon rettinger can technobuffalo here with an unboxing that I'm really excited about this is the motorola atrix 4g for AT&T let's go ahead and dig in and see if this dual core pack and powerhouse lives up to the hype so for phone allegedly this powerful the box is very unassuming it's typical AT&T package here with the orange accents got a picture of the device on the front that was announced and we had a chance to take a look at at CES 2011 so we got the package contents right there but why you read when I'm going to show it to you in just a minute got some legal specs on the side and some kinds of information I probably not many people are going to look at this is stuff that is going to matter to you android 2.2 it's got a web top application there's an available laptop dock i'll show you an upcoming video that actually extends a functionality of this guy it's got a dual-core processor and that is the nvidia tegra 2 it's got 2 1 gigahertz processors in here this thing is an absolute beast and it is running the newest version of Motorola's motoblur skin sitting on top of the android 2.2 platform here's sort of a overview of what you can do with this and i'll show you all the success rates an upcoming video so i'm going to kind of gloss over them here quickly so there you've got your atrix 4g in the middle you've got a vehicle dock of course for navigation wireless keyboards you can use probably a wireless keyboard laptop talk that i mentioned actually turns this into pretty full functioning laptop HD multimedia dock for getting content over to your television and a standard doctors for docking and charging all right so I will run over all the specs the First's go ahead and dig into the box and take a look at the motorola atrix 4g this guy really represents a paradigm shift for smartphone hardware and how we think about our smartphones of what they can do dual-core whether or not it's going to translate to actual performance increases definitely is a is a change for how we think about phones I remember not that long ago when computers weren't this powerful so from a hardware standpoint this thing is incredibly capable whether or not the software optimizes the hardware potential is really going to be the big question mark so I've got a quick start guide right here and go ahead and read that if you'd like we'll push out the phone it is sitting right on top off to the side for just a quick second here is the back pushes that off run through the contents we can get to the phone looks like it does ship with an hdmi cable which is nice of the folks in motor elec to to include that G we can I can rip into this here quickly show you what we got the phone does feature hdmi out so it does have full-size HDMI and then there's the smaller HDMI out port we're just kind of neat and nice they included got typical wall charger with the USB port micro USB cord for charging your monster battery here which is going to be to 1930 milliamp hours but is not that large Messiah standpoint large from a capacity standpoint and then the rest of the motoblur stuff that you might want alright so let's talk about this phone because there is a lot in here and i'll go ahead and power it on let's run through the specs very quickly you peel ups plastics I know that annoys on everybody there is a lot to like about this phone so first the price it's going to set you back just about two hundred dollars from AT&T it's got a four inch display with a resolution of 540 x 960 Motorola is calling that Q HD android 2.2 with motoblur as I mentioned it's got that dual core 1 Giga its Tegra 2 processor so that is that is to 1 gigahertz processors not one that equals or two that equals 1 gigahertz that's two separate one gets processors it's got 16 gigs of internal storage of course that's expandable on the back let's see if they include a card in here it looks like this one does not include an expansion card but you can get it up to a 32 gig card in there as I mentioned that huge 1930 milliamp hour battery if you're on the biggest batteries that I can think of that shipped but not that large in size I hopefully be able to get to a full day of charge presumably a tegra two chip is going to take a lot of power it has a 5 megapixel camera on the back right there with dual LED flash and of course it's out of focus as well and can take video at 720p on the front we've got a VGA camera for video calling facebook self-portraits or whatever other things you guys want to do with that front facing camera it's gotten HDMI out port on the side right there right next to its charging ports it's also going to be equipped to a swipe on board support for AT&T hspa+ network and there's been in sort of conflicting reports but this is supposedly going to be upgradable to AT&T LTE network if you have software update whenever that network is launched and on the back it's got a biometric fingerprint scanner which is also the unlock but you don't have to use it as a fingerprint scanner but if you like you can swipe your finger over at and a locket or you can just push it in all right so let's go ahead and put the battery and pop in the sim card and see what this thing looks like because it's supposed to be quite a powerful phone I had a chance to check out some pre production of hardware when I was at CES 2011 so here is the back sort of a plastic feel I've got a sim card handy i'm going to go ahead and pop it in and do it off camera because there's a phone number printed on the back of the sim card to go ahead and pop it right in i'm going to cover it up you can see where the sim card is going to go right there take the battery and we will put it in which ways are going to go it's going to go like it is take the back snap it on hopefully with relative ease yeah just snaps right on nice and easily and we will power the sucker on and I'll give another quick tour of it while it is booting up probably have to go through motoblur setup but I've got a new sort of dual core screen right there you've got your for capacitive android buttons at the bottom this one is unique to mode that's going to be your menu button home button back button search button the vga camera that i mentioned the gorgeous four-inch screen this is a really high resolution display on the left-hand side you've got your micro USB charging port HDMI out you can that's what's sort of optimal for the TV documentation which I talked about earlier and I will show an upcoming video on the other side of it you're going to have your volume rockers like the backs not fully snapped is neither there we go you're going to have a volume rocker on the top 3.5 millimeter headset jack and your lock and unlock button is actually a biometric fingerprint scanner which is kind of neat a little bit unknowingly located if you want to sort of push it with your finger here but I suppose you'll get used to it I'm a bot I'm you just have a microphone does have some noise cancelling features as well on the back that's where your 5 megapixel camera with the dual LED flash autofocus is going to live here are some instructions here for how to use the back let's pull it off and get a sense of what it feels like and see what the build quality here is going to be but pull it off it is plastic it looks like there's some texture to it but it's not it's just a design it's a soft touch plastic there's a speaker right at the bottom there overall the build quality seems to represent the new motorola build quality which has been quite nice it definitely has a little bit of a plastic you feel but it feels solid it's surprisingly thin for a device packing this much power let me go ahead and bring in a few other devices for size comparison purposes so first let's start with android brethren we've got the galaxy s 4g for tmobile the same size screen there four inches go and stack those guys you can see that for for dual core this thing is not much bigger at all it's almost as thin actually as they an iphone 4 which at one point was the finished phone on the market you can really see what Motorola has done here very nice job I'm looking forward to getting into this phone of course we'll have a ton of coverage on technobuffalo and youtube channel so stay tuned for all of that goodness including the rest of the accessories that come with this guy i'm jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo and i will see you in the next video
