Short Review
- The Motorola ATRIX 2 MB865 features a compact design with dimensions of 126 x 66 x 10 mm and a weight of 147g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.3-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 256 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 processor paired with 1GB of RAM, which provides adequate functionality for basic tasks.
- The 8 MP rear camera captures decent images and supports 1080p video recording at 24fps, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The 1785mAh battery offers limited capacity and does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) with an upgrade option to 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is outdated and not upgradeable to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device includes a headphone jack, but stereo speakers are absent.
- Overall, the ATRIX 2 combines basic features with a sturdy build, though it may not meet the demands of modern users.
- Special features are minimal, focusing primarily on standard smartphone capabilities.
