Motorola Atrix to get full HD 1080p video capture after launch

28 January, 2011

The already eagerly awaited Motorola Atrix is making headlines again this time making a hint of 1080p video capture. Having a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 CPU roaring inside, it should come as no surprise that this monster droid would offer Full HD recording much like the Optimus 2X, for instance.

The device is set to initially come with 720p video recording and 1080p playback via it's HDMI port but a vigilant read spotted a remark in the manufacturer's specs that promises 1080p video recording via a post-launch software update.

So far information on the update concerns only the AT&T version, the Atrix 4G, so we can't be certain if it will be available for the European version as well.

It's some great news for the fans waitig eagerly for the official launch of the Atrix, especially now that the Tegra-loving LG Optimus 2X is already flaunting it's fullHD capturing capabilities.

Since the 1080p video capture will probably be a major selling point of the Atrix 4G, we really hope Motorola doesn't take long with the update as it did with the updates of most of its other GSM Android smartphones.

Until I see the update I´ll stick with my old phone. Talking about Motoscrewed phones...I think everybody remembers the Milestone + Flash Fiasco. Ppl are still waiting for the official update to enable flash.
