Motorola AtrixThe Motorola Atrix is a solid piece of hardware, with Gorilla Glass and metalized housing. It’s also a secure device with fingerprint recognition technology. Inside, it’s impressive as well with a 1GHz dual-core processor and 16 GB internal memory and an SD slot that can accommodate another 32 GB. Motorola has also upped the ante with qHD screen resolution on the device’s 4-inch screen.
Samsung Galaxy NoteThe Samsung Galaxy Note is big and beautiful, a full-featured smart phone that’s designed to be the high-tech answer to an essential low-tech tool: the notepad. Along with all the features that you’d expect in leading phones, like a powerful 1.4 GHz dual core processor, HD video recording and playback and 16 GB of internal memory (plus 32 GB with an SD card), its 5.3-inch screen gives you plenty of room to sketch with the accompanying ‘S pen'(smart pen).
HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTERunning on Android 4.0, the new HTC Droid Incredible is a true multimedia machine. It’s got a 4-inch super LCD screen and a powerful 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, as well as 1 GB of RAM. Onboard storage, however, is fairly modest at 8 GB. It comes with an 8 megapixel camera with a wide-angle lens.
LG Optimus 4X HDA powerhouse of a phone, the LG Optimus 4X HD has a quad-core 1.5 GHz CPU and a 12-core NVIDIA GPU. Its display is slightly smaller than rival Samsung Galaxy Note at 4.7 inches (versus 5.3 inches for the latter). Fueling its high performance is a 2100 mAh lithium-ion battery.
Meizu MX 4-coreAnother phone packing a punch, the MX 4-core has a 1.4 GHz quad-core CPU, which is built on 3 nm processor technology. On paper, its processor is slightly under that of the LG Optimus 4X HD. Its battery also has slightly less capacity than the Optimus at 1700 mAh. Meizu is marketing the device as ideal for gaming due to its gyroscope and six motion sensors.
