Atrix 4G priced at $150 by Costco, takes 720p video at first

Posted by aashu Wednesday, 16 February 2011


The Motorola Atrix 4G smartphone has been priced at Costco, thanks to a leaked image received by AndroidCentral. This will require a two-year contract at AT&T, however, and an earlier, brief Amazon listing mimicked the price tag. The price tag is relatively low, and combined with the 11.6-inch netbook dock that is also expected to cost $150 could lead to a combo costing $300.
At the same time, Motorola's own press page reveals the handset will not be capable of recording 1080p videos at launch, nor will it be able to output it through its HDMI port. While these capabilities will be enabled thanks to a software update after release, the initial handsets will only record and output 720p.

The timing suggests that the match of Motorola's custom Android variant and NVIDIA's Tegra 2 hasn't been fully optimized and that Motorola may be pushing for an early launch.
