The Motorola Atrix HD is a 4G Android smartphone running on the AT&T 4G LTE system in the United States. That handset hit the smartphone marketplace on July 15, and borrows Droid Razr 4G and Droid Razr MAXX 4G styling. A layer of Corning Gorilla Glass protects the screen from scratching and chipping. And the familiar Kevlar back plate and appearance of those two handsets is in full effect on the Atrix HD, with a splash resistant, nanocoating on the insides of the handset offering an extra layer of protection. However, unique to the handset that was not found on the previous Razr models is Motorola’s SMARTACTIONS application.
