Motorola ATRIX HD for AT&T is officially announced, yours for $99
We knew that an official announcement of the Motorola ATRIX HD was coming sooner than later, especially after the smartphone was accidentally revealed ahead of schedule on the company's own web site. And here it is, folks, the latest addition to the ATRIX family is coming soon to AT&T bearing a $99 on-contract price tag.
That is a pretty tempting deal, considering that in exchange you get a 4G LTE smartphone powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and with a 4.5-inch 720p display gracing its front. Interestingly, the display is enhanced using "ColorBoost", although Motorola does not elaborate on what that technology exactly is. The screen is armored with a tough layer of Gorilla Glass, its back is reinforced using Kevlar fibers, and a water-repellent layer protects the handset's internals from water damage. With the Motorola ATRIX HD and its 8-megapixel camera you can take 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second, and the 1.3MP front-facing cam is ideal for video chats. All of these goodies you get from a smartphone that is only 8.4 millimeters thick.
On the software side of things, Android 4.0 comes out of the box sprinkled with several handy features on top. One of them is SMARTACTIONS, which automatically performs certain actions at a predetermined time of the day. For example, the smartphone can go into silent mode at night, or turn the Wi-Fi radion on once you come back home.
So when can you get one? Starting July 15, the Motorola ATRIX HD will be in stock at all AT&T channels. Modern White and Titanium are the two color options it will be available in.
