Back when the world hadn’t yet tasted more than a single core in a smartphone here in the USA, there was the ATRIX 4G, and now that the large part of a year has passed and dual-core processors are the norm, the ATRIX 2 pops up with a few improved specs and a whole new body – is it time to upgrade? We’ve got more than a few questions (and a few answers, too!) about the ATRIX 2including why it exists and how it’ll stand up against the rest of the very well-suited superphone environment again here in the USA. Did Motorola create another ATRIX just for the fun of it, or is this truly the next-level device ATRIX lovers of the past have been waiting for?

This device follows closely the design evolution happening inside the Motorola family, looking rather similar to what we’ve seen in thePhoton and the ELECTRIFY, both recently released with dual-core processors as well. What’s strange about this device as far as evolution goes, on the other hand, is the fact that its processor changes from the NVIDIA Tegra 2 (as in the ATRIX 4G, the original,) to an OMAP4 dual-core processor from Texas Instruments with the same clock: 1GHz. What this means for the lay person is that the processing power hasn’t been improved, the motor in this vehicle essentially only being changed over to a different manufacturer.
