Seems like smartphones are advancing so fast these days it’s only about 6 months before we see a sequel. Take these fresh-off-the internet pics of the Motorola Atrix 2 codenamed “Edison.” The device showed up a few weeks back on a Chinese blog but now, the device looks is looking a whole lot more official.
In a stunning turn of events, the device is rumored to NOT be compatible with AT&T’s new LTE network. Yikes. Of course, you can still look forward to a dual-core processor though we’re not sure on the manufacturer (most likely TI’s OMAP). Also on board is the pictured 8MP camera capable of 1080p HD video recording and the Atrix 2 will be running Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread. The device should be here just in time for Thanksgiving but we’ll see how that pans out.

… is there a camera button? hell, yes!
Looks a little like the sensation, and I like it :)
Yeah it does…. just a cheap feeling, plastic version of an HTC….. do yourself a favor and wait for the Nexus.
I never said I want to have the phone :p
I just said i really like the design. And yes, I’m waiting for the Next Nexus
um, this will not have LTE chris…
Oh shiet. You’re right! Didn’t see the “not” :/
I can’t believe… why wouldn’t they…. that’s terrible :O
It is a great injustice in the world that we have pics of this and not even a blurry shot of the Nexus. :|
exactly what i was thinking!
Is that a pentile screen? FAIL!
Will it fit in the existing dock? That would be uncommonly sensible.
No LTE….major fail!
So, with no LTE, a dual-core processor (which I assume has the same or more power than the Atrix 1), and still an 8MP camera, what is the point of this?
I have the original Atrix, and this sounds retarded to me. How can this phone not have LTE? They updated the phone with a slightly faster processor and a slightly better camera. Big whoop.
seconded…from another atrix owner. not only have they barely bumped the stats, but they castrated off the fingerprint scanner
ack!! really?? no fingerprint scanner?? I know a lot of people probably think that’s a gimmicky feature but I absolutely adore it.
Just switch to verizon already lol,
look next to the signal strength indicator, it has a 4g symbol, not the H+ symbol, like all HSPA+(HSDPA+) devices. maybe this is there 4g lte symbol for smarthphones, or a new H+ symbol. I have a feeling its LTE. If you look at the leaked pictures of the holiday which is supose to be a LTE device, it has the same 4g logo next to the signal strength indicator, it look blurry, but if you focus they look the same.
Here is a link to the holiday leaked photos:

Does anyone care about this? Or more importantly, do Android users really care about AT&T phones? Here in western PA the only AT&T subscribers seem to be asshole users.
@Joe, i happen to live in Pittsburgh and am an att user so my question is why does that make me an ahole user? I guess i really don’t understand why everyone hates att? I’ve been a happy customer for close to 12 year’s now. So until someone comes up with factual legitimate reasons as to why att sucks so badly I will just stick with them and ignore the remarks of people like yourself.
Am a current Atrix owner, and unless they get rid of MotoBlur and add LTE, I would not go for it nor recommend it to anyone else.
No LTE NO FINGER Swipe sensor ill pass. Im still enjoying my Atrix but the only thing i like bout the new one it have full HD1080P with 8mpto camera only difference
