Motorola Droid Bionic vs. Motorola Atrix 4G: Spec War

We’re taking Motorola’s two dual-core Webtop phones and letting them duke it out on paper. It’s the Motorola Droid Bionic vs. the Motorola Atrix 4G Spec War. We were able to attain these specs straight from Motorola’s site before they hastily took down the spec page (oops!), but they seem logical enough. In the end, the Droid Bionic’s 4G LTE speeds, larger 4.3-inch qHD display, more HotSpot devices, larger camera and 1080p HD video recording, and wireless printing push it past the Motorola Atrix 4G for AT&T. However, this phone has been teased for so long that we’re in the midst of a Duke Nukem Forever snafu. At this point in the year, the Droid Bionic’s specs are akin to old video game graphics, and its story is certainly not as interesting anymore. In fact, the Bionic shares many of the same traits with the Atrix 4G. Here are the stats:
