Motorola Atrix vs Samsung Galaxy S

The recently announced Motorola Atrix 4G at CES 2011 comes with smart specs that include a 4 inch screen, Tegra 2 dual core processor and dual cameras.

We compare the Motorola Atrix to another successful device the Samsung Galaxy S to find out which smartphone offers the best value for your money.

Display
Both the Samsung Galaxy S and Motorola Atrix have some of the best screens out there. For starters, they're both 4-inches - a great bonus for watching video or browsing web pages.

Both also are covered by a layer of Gorilla Glass for extra strength and feature multitouch.

They're both high resolution, although the Motorola Atrix pips Samsung to the post here, boasting 540x960 pixels against the Samsung Galaxy S's 480x800 pixels.

On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S's screen is Super AMOLED. It really is extra vibrant and clear.

This one's down to opinion and whether you prefer the overly vibrant colours of AMOLED or the more muted colours of LCD.

Winner: Draw

Processor
The Motorola Atrix is one of the devices to include a dual core processor, and the Motorola Atrix's NVIDIA Tegra 2 AP20H Dual Core processor does not let down on initial tests.

It's smooth and fast, with the update truly speeding up the Android OS.

However, the Samsung Galaxy S's processor shouldn't be outlawed. It's still a respectable 1GHz and goes like the clappers.

Where the Motorola Atrix excels though is in the RAM. It has double the RAM as the Galaxy S - 1GB vs 512MB. Hello Moto for multitasking!

Winner: Motorola Atrix

Storage
Storage is key on mobile phones that double as SatNavs, music players and game consoles.

The Samsung Galaxy S features either 8 or 16GB of internal storage, with room for a microSD card up to 32GB. You could potentially have 48GB worth of music on your mobile.

The Motorola Atrix matches this, with 16GB internal memory and support for up to 32GB in the microSD card department.

Winner: It's a draw (if you purchase the 16GB Samsung Galaxy S)
