Features Key features of the T-Mobile G2x compared to the Motorola ATRIX 2
GHz1
Android 2.3 Gingerbread 3.5G
Rated 87% by by c|net (Apr, 2011)With its dual-core processor, HSPA+ speeds, stock Android interface, and solid polished design, it's easy to see why the T-Mobile G2x won our Best of CTIA award in the phones category this year.
1 GHz
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean 3.5G
Rated 80% by by c|net (Oct, 2011)Images looked sharp, and colors were captured somewhat accurately.
screen size
4"
4.3"
G2x by c|net (Apr, 2011)It has a Micro-HDMI port so you can hook up the phone to a big-screen television, and with mirroring mode, you can see on the TV whatever is on your phone.
ATRIX 2 by Vitalii (Jan, 2013)overall phone is really good, fast and screen is crystal clear and not too small and not too big.
screen resolution
G2x by William-B.-Partridge (Apr, 2011)One thing to note: some reviews have complained about the screen quality, that is to say that the resolution isn't higher (e.g. qHD).
ATRIX 2 by Franco52 (Jan, 2012)It fits my hand perfectly, it is very fast in all tasks and the screen is great (although lagging behind the new guys in resolution).
memory
| 0 GB | 1 GB | 1 GB |
processor
G2x by c|net (Apr, 2011)As we mentioned, the overall performance of the G2x was very impressive due to the 1GHz Nvidia dual-core Tegra 2 processor.
ATRIX 2 by Mark-Gielow (Dec, 2011)Call quality is good with a few different settings, and web browsing and the app market are very fast with the dual core processor.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 8 MP | 8 MP |
ATRIX 2 by Alexandre-H.-Rattes--Alex-Rattes (Jan, 2012)Despite the 8 megapixel, camera is low quality, especially when compared to the excellent Galaxy S2 camera.
Performance Real world tests of T-Mobile G2x vs Motorola ATRIX 2
cpu speed
ATRIX 2 by c|net (Oct, 2011)Still, these changes are somewhat incremental, as the processor speed hasn't changed and it still only supports HSPA+ and not AT&T's nascent LTE network.
browser benchmark
G2x by c|net (Apr, 2011)Froyo lets you integrate your contacts with various social networks, save apps to SD cards, and voice dial over Bluetooth, and it supports Flash Player 10.1 in the browser.
ATRIX 2 by c|net (Oct, 2011)There are still the occasional hiccups like slow shutter lag and a slight screen flicker, but those concerns melt away when you find out the phone is very affordable at only $99.99 after a two-year service agreement.
download speed
ATRIX 2 by Carlos-J-Alba-P (Jan, 2012)The phone is really responsive and delivers fast data connectivity, I confirm good mobile network download speed with Movistar Colombia, usually over 2M but at least 1M, upload around 500K.
talk time
469 min
510 min
ATRIX 2 by Johnny-OMore moderate use with a combination of web browsing,gaming,music, and watching videos through out the day I can get between 12-18 hours of use out of before I need to charge it.
