Motorola Atrix 4G vs Samsung Galaxy S 2

[adriandblock]

the only thing that bugs me with reviews like this is if you comparing a phone make sure there run the same version of android because if there not then the competition is not fair.

[XxxGamer5641xxX]

But, will it turn into a laptop running a linux distro?

I don't think so.

[KelGhazaly]

i know that the samsung galaxy s2 is better i just wanted to ask

i want andriod fone which is afordable and to be used for games like angry birds maybe gta 3

also with apps like FB and IM will the motorola be good for that?

in egypt the motorola is cheaper i was getting htc sensation but it is out of stock please asnwer me will it worth to w8 1 month for the htc sensation or get the motorola atrix 4g now?

also i wanted to say i cant afford to get any fone but these 2 cause they have offer?

[ImAKillZoneFan]

@philly5839 Yeh never did like motoblur

[acondie13]

fingerprint sensor ftw.

[SkylinexP]

shit, the super amoled display really makes the difference

[marcoantonio1217]

fuck you phones the shet... jajajajajajajajajajaja........­..

[MBP6705]

The Atrix is crippled by Motoblur. I'd like to see this comparison with both of these phones running Cyanogenmod.

[eenvy40]

ok dude first of all i have the Atrix 4g running Android 2.3 and its better than the S2. if its the S2 vs Atrix 4g get the Atrix 4g. its Now running Android 2.3 and is better than the S2

[philly5839]

My atrix 4g with cm7 just ass raped a g2 .. blur is the worst its like buying a mustang and putting a Geo metro engine it smh

[eenvy40]

@philly5839 Hahahahahaha soo true i saw that mod and i think ima get it. I just wanna know if skype works on the rom.

[TheNXT1233]

galaxy s2 wins by alot

[eenvy40]

@TheNXT1233 dude the Atrix 4g in this video in running 2.2 and the S2 is on 2.3. i wouldnt say the S2 won by alot. its sad that this guy had to have the Atrix 4g running the old Android OS just to make the S2 look good

[Fallenoath]

Plain and simple. Atrix 4G dominates when deblurred. Stock Android 2.3 on the Atrix 4G blows away the S2 even at 1Ghz. Lulz S2 with motoblur would basically be an expensive paperweight. The Atrix 2 is actually LESS powerful than the Atrix 4G as it's not using the Tegra 2, but a TI OMAP4430 (Not good at all.) Funny how the Tegra 2 1Ghz blows away the 1.2Ghz Exynos. ;]

[TheShufflinKing]

@Fallenoath Yeah but when you love sucking Dick so much, no one really cares how cool your phone is, Aren't i right Chris?

[LudolfCZ]

My classmate has Atrix and has 60-65 MFLOPS (not rooted) :D

[XxXLatvianGypsyXxX]

You are awesome. Love your reviews. Definitely help to make decisions easier. Thank you!

[layla2010love]

First of all that's atrix one and the gs2 nearly won. Get atrix 2 bitch

[Fallenoath]

@layla2010love

Read my above post and do more research so you don't sound like an idiot.

[iCsnR]

galaxy s2 ruls

[eenvy40]

ok dude you should really update the Atrix to Android 2.3 then do it again with both running Android 2.3. its a fact that the new Versions of android OS run better smoother and faster than the older Android OS

[ipodtouch2gmc]

you shouldn't have run the browser tests at the same time. One phone could be hogging the bandwidth

[electrichimp]

well off course, it's 200 bucks more.

[shaz1874]

S2 FTW :-|

[NikeSBNikka23]

whats better the iphone 3gs or the motorola atrix 4g?

[chrischoy9]

@NikeSBNikka23 Atrix 4G. It is even better than 4S in many aspects, but not all

[Babeman1]

@NikeSBNikka23 atrix 4g absolutely, if you said iphone 4, then those are even.

[JuTjubJeSranje]

But you also need to point out that the s2 has that bullshit lockscreen and touchwiz...

[LTDanno360]

atrix cm7 rapes s2

[thegameon]

i see that u always use the 1.2 ghz one on samsung s2 and i heard that the 1.5ghz is slightly slower id like u to get that one and compare to others as well

[RyobaNoKen]

wow Motorola so sssslllolooww and chochopppy browsing. Half second lag on flicks.. lame

glad I watched this.

[BigGizinZIPSklad]

stupid bitch why cant you just put closer to lens the phone showing quadrant score?

[opmike343]

@BigGizinZIPSklad

Stupid bitch, why can't you type a coherent sentence?

[guilhermevianabh]

Faça o mesmo teste comparando os dois aparelhos com o Atrix rodando o Android 2.3. O resultado será outro!

[Beastlyblu]

Atrix raped Samsung.

[henrykji]

is atrix for 200 bucks a good price???

[walidb123]

i can't afford either. i just watch for fun = saddo.

[cookmyrecipe]

@walidb123 he he same here..i had love to buy all these gadgets but dont have the money..so watch all these videos and day dream myself with these pricy gadgets..

[MBP6705]

@walidb123 The Atrix is a lot less expensive on eBay and Amazon now. Can't say the same for the GS2.

[freshersns]

the atrix looks ugly

[terracon]

I'd pick the SGX540 over the Tegra 2 anyday.

[hllchs55]

how come this guys always sounds like he's yelling or something?

[sac98281]

@hllchs55 Turn your volume down.

[Matin1431]

Galaxy s 2 won. Now Im gonna watch the video

[LaddiesMan93]

thats all because of froyo on Atrix ... try to update and the result will change .. in some test like graphics Atrix is better ... and also Motorola has a better display resolution that gives advantage in internet browsing (especially when zoom is required) but Super Amoled Plus has a better contrast ..

[survivorevil]

@LaddiesMan93 nah still the SGS2 would beat the atrix. It has a better processor and GPU

[jdonado]

samsung galaxy is for girls.

[FluorescentAdolesc]

@jdonado and you're gay cause i got a galaxy and is the best phone ever ;)

[igor3867]

guiga bite?

dont care, i'm brasilian

[igor3867]

i dont like motorola,

atrix dont have a good design, it's ugly.

but galaxy s2 is beaultiful, cool and is a really great smartfone,

and i like it

[ozamar1212]

you can make CM7 2.3.7 on the atrix but same on G.S2 and the G.S2 will be better but if you ask me? im buiying the atrix or Defy and make on him CM7 its the best rom

[MetinXMetin]

Faster because Samsung has another hour.

[damnbdboy]

atrix came out in february 2011. And Galaxy sII came out in September 2011. BUT atrix still came pretty close to galaxy sII in speed and performence. Atrix owns. If Atrix had a 1.2 gHz processor, It could kick any phone's ass. And besides in this video, the atrix wasn't Gingerbread....

[bmwgtrm3]

i have sgs2 proud of it

[xxxHENRIKxxx008]

do samsung galaxy s2 have chat on facebook? please answear

[GismoJr]

@xxxHENRIKxxx008 download the messenger app. it has a light bolt over a dialog baloon on the logo..

[markkjay]

lol I feel like he's yelling at me

[aka00007]

dnt wish to see my atrix get raped.

but i saw the display of the SGS 2 and realised how biig the super amoled plus is a hype

it is definitely darker in colours and more appealing

but it seems way to much fake whereas my atrix has the perfect mix of colours and contract. it has beautiful clarity (atrix) and also it seems real. the amoled screen is more like samsung lcds and atrix like sony lcds... where sony is any day better cause they offer richer and real display.

[spiritwalkerXXl]

the difference in the quality of the screens is impressive

[chupetanegra]

Jajajaj galaxy s2 for ever champion love is the first time in my life that i have one of the champion telephones lider uff

[crockerjae]

atrix 4g d best in performance,luv my new beast coz its d best go go go go,,,,,,

[mmi5572]

Atrix 2.3.4 is so much better the gs2 anyday

[meesternadim]

I like this guy, maby someday he can stick some fingers in mijn anal area.

[TheP3ach]

Put cyanogenmod 7 on Atrix and you've got yourself a beast

[tchcaphr]

and its not 2.3.4 in the atrix

[tchcaphr]

when i starting my atrix its not so much time

[thomashh55]

of course galaxy s2 is gona be better in operation speed because it has stronger CPU, look about games

[MrScottSass]

Why are their no reviews of atrix running gingerbread vs s2 with gingerbread... not saying it would win but at least the hardware would be all that is different.

[SuperHenryMorgan]

comparalos cuando el atrix tambien este con android 2.3 ;)

[jeffkoe310]

My Atrix now has stock Gingerbread. I think it makes a difference in speed (Gingerbread is faster than Froyo). Nice comparison for what is offered.

[salmanc1]

Great video and good commentary well done

[mudddy123]

Had to switch off and find another comparison video thanks to that IRRITATING voice.

[barcodebrothers]

The camera in the gs2 dont work after it loaded, after it loaded there is a black screen for 2/3 seconds

ATRIX WIN!!!

[390493s]

Can't wait for my Samsung Galaxy s2 to come in the mail Wednesday. Fastest phone out there.

[Jabbypants]

The thing is you can pick the Atrix up new for around £250 if you look about, there is no way in the world you can get a GS2 for that price new.

Stick a custom rom on the Atrix and you have a fantastic phone for the price.

[rMvArs]

look at that lag at 4:15

[zmw124]

i dont like the atrix because i have mental retadation with ruberized plastic i always seem to find the part thats more plastic, the

snap

new case

[zmw124]

i dont know, il think i like the samsung, but im debating between an inspire htc 4g and a samsung galaxy s 2 4g, i dont know if im gettiing good 4g, first its expensive, and also we wont get it half the time

[TSJhimself]

This is to Compaire, the same CAR with a diffrent engine.. the Motorola i 1GHz and samsung is 1,2GHz.,.. thats is the reason its daster in all test... they use nearly the same Android system. so why... But has the Samsung the option for a LAPDOC... No.

[Phillip13Slipknot]

The upgraded 2.3 Atrix on gingerbread beats the Galaxy S2

[danielturj1996]

@Phillip13Slipknot i have it and it's faster then the galaxy s 2 that my father got

[LTDanno360]

bs!

[fiercekay85]

This video is totally useless! Benchmarks dont mean anything and you can't run a speed test by opening apps at the same time, benchmarks are useless because if you run it, then run it again and again and again, your score will keep going up and up and up! Totally useless!!!

[adioo890]

Upgrade the atrix to gingerbread and try again.

[cragosm]

@adioo890 I'd rather see a CM7 vs CM7 benchmark. Clean.

[mauserhunter]

this is rubbish who cares atrix is a badass phone to hell with samsung and there over priced brick

[Jesusability]

@mauserhunter jesus christ, someone's trying to reaffirm their purchase

[mauserhunter]

@Jesusability lol no i have yet to purchase but i am heavily leaned towards the atrix..

[crasite]

OooWah Ahh Huhu Obuuu Obuuu Negi negi Gaga, Sonbangshu^ pascal -adian

[adilgangsta1]

@DJTRiX2K9 and the gs2 is way smoother then the atrix, heck its even smoother then the iphone 4

[pennjersey83]

Both great phones. Atrix 2.3 is so much better than this video. Motorola is American company and Samsung is Korean so I gotta go Motorola.

[zafir24]

galaxy s2 doesnt have hdmi output, my friend has one (unlocked and unbranded) and its either equal or not as good as the atrix

[adilgangsta1]

@zafir24 lool the specs of the galaxy s2 is just so much better

[NeuroticLobster]

@zafir24 The S2 certainly does have HDMI output, it just doesn't have a physical HDMI port. Check it out.

[cickova13]

motorola: lapdock, media dock, car dock

samsung: [nothing]

its not all in benchmarks!

[TonsofAlex]

I'm sure my Atrix 2.3 can beat that thang!

[99thematrix]

awsome review i guess im keeping my samsung galaxys 2 lol. amazing machine. i loved the samsung galaxy s and i also love my samsung galaxys s 2.

[MegaHowHI]

i love you Atrix

[kdb5540]

아트레기라고하던데ㅋ_ㅋ

[dishy200]

how can I get to benchmark test on samsung gs2

[rusito31]

Samsung Galaxy S 2  winss!! xd

[jinkazLA]

This one of the best vs I've seen so far. Good job, man!

[MrScottSass]

@fede101 if you did your homework you would know the tegra renders 3d graphics better even while stock on 2.2 running @ 1Ghz. Oh and btw my atrix overclocked @ 1.3Ghz with cm7 shits on any variation of sgs2. Speak not of what you do not understand. My phone has higher resolution than yours, which explains the difference in mflops. Sit down fanboy.

[sofreshvince]

This was in June. They need to do another comparison. :)

[alexveeuk]

Had the choice today I went for the galaxy no ways I'm going for atria even tho it was vastly cheaper

[travisishot14]

how the fuck can you say the atrix is better when the s2 booted up 5xs faster?

[FraserScarlett]

0:05 listen to the enthusiasm haha love it

[noentiendo79998]

Samsung Galaxy S II is betteeeeeeeeeeeerrr!!!!

[rsw524]

Atrix is better

[secrettidus]

at jun, the atrix ald hv 2.3.. y dun use 2.3 version.. not fair man..

[mindprison88]

Hm strange browser performance form Atrix, my X10 loads the page faster and works smoother.

[klemzorz]

Is it me or it seems like things get out of hand these days with all them new smartphones and their fanboys x.x

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS NEW PHONE FROM XXX THAT COMES OUT IN A MONTH AND CAN DO BLA BLA BLA, can see it every month now on a new device.

now to be honest I think the battery on MOST smartphones dies quite fast! That's what you pay for a mini computer in your palm! so carry a spare one, something you can't with an iPhone ;3

SG2 wins ;3

[philerskine]

well, that screen (sammy) is lovely. and it saps battery like a b*****************************­******o on fire.

And i prefer the slightly smaller screen, as i dont have the hands of a giant

[Fede101kill3r7]

Stop crying samsung galaxy s2 is better because it have a better processor and better performance in 3d games, also you can use chainfire3d and run tegra games, awesome.

[randyk978]

Atric runs 2.3 you dumb ass

[Akens888]

Too bad the Atrix owns the S2 in the gaming department... look at how many times the framerate starts chugging on the S2.

[DarkDefender112]

great comparison very helpful..

[DarkDefender112]

great comparison very helpful..

[bilabilapun]

must remember....the atrix battery lithium polymer more powerful than galaxy s2 lithium ion.....and screen features of atrix more sharpness than s2....take noted....both of this gadget are the latest but the weakness of s2 is the battery lifetime not longer than atrix....and the sharpness of s2 screen still cannot defeat atrix.....take noted.....ATRIX is the best at the moment......!!!!

[AmazedDexter]

Samsung Galaxy Ass :D

[MetaTechnology1]

S2 owns Atrix

[AmazedDexter]

@MetaTechnology1 Atrix runs 2.2 while S2 runs 2.3!!

[MrGoughcam]

We need any comparisons of the Atrix with 2.3.

[jflexe99]

@MrGoughcam Atrix on 2.3 won't make it any better...Galaxy will kill it.

[lordansem2]

@MrGoughcam Exactly, I'm surprised more people havent brougt that up(at lease from observation)

[lingzy121]

i heard an aeroplane fly past while you were reviewing the phones. god im so random lol

[thesickwog]

Thanks for the comparison. What would be helpful though is for you to have the specs (at the start) written on the screen as you read them out. This will greatly alleviate the stress on my small brain trying to remember the first phone's specs and whether it is better or worse.

[AXooooXA]

and they called it the most powerful phone in the world?(atrix 4g) Wow im glad i bought the samsung galaxys 2 ;D It owns !!

[neivin93]

Getting my galaxy S2 in 2 weeks :D

3 year contract from bell only for $69.99 from Bestbuy mobile.

Canada FTW

[joni5566]

can you tell me which one is better? coz i want to buy one of these two to be my birthday gift to my son. soo please help me which is better to buy. thanks alot:))

[chltmdwp]

wow... for 3 mins it's all about talking specs. Video starts at 3:10

[3kosty3]

so galaxy s 2 dont have tegra?

[1xjarx]

@3kosty3 The European version uses exynos but we'll what the U.S version uses, it might use tegra only 2 more days untill they announce it.

[jlgiraldo]

@jason9795 for better or for worse?

[SnapszDuhh]

The Motorola colour looks soooo much duller than the Samsung....it bothers me lol

[skywalker13lebron]

sgs2

[tojonegi2]

The only thing cooler on Atrix is biometric fingerprint reader! (wow)

I'd still buy the Galaxy S II anyday, but I wish it had the similar feature.

[The420Eyebaal]

The Dudes Left eye is faster then his right EYE.



[The420Eyebaal]

thisw dudes right eye is slower then the left one.

ask his mum... shes also slow

[someguy6978]

So how about a Motorola Photon vs the Gs2?

[OverPowerdGaming]

SG2 is coming out for US on August 29th

[Dani01c]

can you try doing this video with the new update in the atrix to see how it does against the sgs2? im not expecting to be better than the sgs 2 but just curious how much better things have really gotten when put to test

[crossoverCHICKEN]

lol motorola atrix looks like a htc sensation :D

[cippo007]

Samsung Galaxy S2 is awesome. Better than the Iphone 4 of my girlfriend.

[firzennet]

the atrix came out earlier than the S2. what do u guys expect man. don't worry, hopefully the revamped bionic will knock S2 out XD

[OfficialTiltVirus]

@coolkid2676 does it come with gingerbread because i orderd the atrix yesterday and i was jw

[MrZombieFecces]

@OfficialTiltVirus You have to update but it doesn't take a long time

[coolkid2676]

The Atrix now has gingerbread. And they got rid of not blur

[mkarnicki]

I like the box fight commentary style :) Really cool!

[retroluminico]

The video doesen't shows if the quick boot option is enabled in the two devices. My inspire 4g starts much more fast than the sgs2 and is not better.

[billum71]

gingerbread on atrix is supremely better now

[mario70428]

thats bullshit the atrix is the fastest smartphone out there, this dude hating

[niggz360]

@mario70428 no it isnt i have an atrix and i can easily say the s2 is faster. however in terms of gaming it is better than s2

[JocJav]

@niggz360 because of tegra zone? how many games are there? can you download them from any website?

[whitefangex]

this is unfair on all levels , atrix with the bigger resolution AND froyo wth bro -_- this isnt even fair at LEAST 25% more pixels are being processed...



[BiW1nning]

@whitefangex SGS2 has a higher refresh rate, so has to dedicate processor time far more frequently, so realistically it balances out

[niggz360]

@whitefangex but you have more subpixels on the gs2... lets do the math:

S2: 480x800= 384000 pixels. 384000x 3 sub pixels (RGB)=1 152 000 sub pixels

atrix: 960x540=518400 pixels. 518400x 2 sub pixels (pentile- RGBG)=1 036 800 sub pixels

so no, not only does the S2 process more sub pixels than the atrix, but it also beats it. this is coming from an atrix user. but it is true that it is 2.2 vs 2.3.

[1998JackRoberts]

What Wallpaper Is On The Galaxy S II

[giftedcatering]

if they're same OS version the result will be change????

Gifted Catering

[slayps]

Quando tiver Gingerbread nos dois faz denovo o teste cabeçudo.

[megadeath1555]

it wont be fair unless they both use the same OS version..

[smpred24]

Thanks for the comparison, probably the most unbiased I have seen on youtube. I was tossing up between Atirx, Galaxy 2 and Sensastion - I ended up with the Atrix.

Although on paper the Galaxy has better stats, Atrix for me personally was a better phone. Fits better in your hand, I found the Galaxy too wide and was really awkward to hold. Plus here in Australia the Atrix got local carrier Telstra's "Bluetick" rating, meaning it has the best coverage/reception which was really important to me.

[96brazil]

dude get ride of motoblur like i did i raced my phone and timed it against u sg2 and it won every time

[trilingualkid]

too bad SG2 doesn't have 4g that's a downer there

[murr990]

So how can you review phones with different hardware...of course the s2 will be quicker. It has a 1.2Ghz cpu against a 1Ghz cpu.. kinda fixed to s2 a little bit.

[michaelmoorhead86]

Atrix now has gingerbread with the new update yesterday

[kury82]

El motorola atrix esta mas logrado..

[SSlsj]

this is froyo vs gingerbread of course the atrix would be behind the Galaxy s2, you should do this again now that the Atrix has the Gingerbread update.....then again us atrix owners might get behind again because of the new Ice cream sandwich update that is coming out
