Motorola and AT&T have just released the successor to the original Atrix. While the differences aren’t quite as substantial as from, say the Samsung Galaxy S to the Galaxy S II, there are some fairly significant differences between the two Android powered phones. Of them, perhaps biggest differences are the fact that it’s faster, will have a bigger display, will have significantly faster connectivity, and that Motorola decided to get rid of the finger print reader, a personal favorite of mine.

Atrix 2 specs:

• 4.3″ qHD Touch Screen
• 8MP Camera; 1080p Recording
• 8GB Internal Memory: Comes with 2GB SD Card, supports up to 32GB SD Card
• 1GB of RAM
• 1Ghz dual core OMAP processor (similar to Droid 3)
• 21mbps on AT&T’s HSPA+ Network

Atrix 1 Specs:

• 4″ qHD Touch Screen
• 5MP Camera; 720p Recording
• 16GB Internal Memory; Optional 32GB External SD Card
• 14mbps on AT&T’s HSPA+ Network

It’s important to point out that just because “4G” isn’t in the name this time that it isn’t 4G/HSPA+ compatible. Look at the specs above again, and you will see that it is 7mbps faster then the original Atrix. Now that’s what I call awesome.

Engadget was at CTIA Enterprise & Applications and did a quick hands-on review of the Atrix 2, which you can find below.
