Major carrier Movistar and Motorola have just announced the immediate availability of the ATRIX 2 Android phone in Chile.

Customers can now grab the Motorola ATRIX 2 for free on Movistar select multimedia plans, but it may also be purchased for a no-term price that will be announced within the next few days.

One of the older Android phones launched by Motorola, the ATRIX 2 is still quite powerful by today's standards, especially that the device is equipped with a dual-core processor.

The only downside of the smartphone is the fact that it is still powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread platform, though only a handful of Motorola models have been updated to the latest version of Google's mobile platform, Ice Cream Sandwich.

The ATRIX 2 webtop experience delivers a real sense of using a computer when the phone is connected to a TV. Additionally, its dual-core processor greatly empowers all the device’s functions,” said Javier Valenzuela, device manager for Movistar.

Also known as Motorola MB865, the ATRIX 2 comes equipped with a 1 GHz dual-core CPU, which is complemented by a PowerVR SGX540 graphics processing unit and 1GB of RAM.

Although the smartphone packs 8GB of internal memory, users can further expand storage up to 32GB via microSD card. It is also worth mentioning Motorola ATRIX 2 will be shipped with a free 2GB microSD memory card in the sales package.

The ATRIX 2 sports a 4.3-inch qHD touchscreen display that supports 540 x 960 pixels resolution, and features Corning Gorilla Glass coating.

Motorola ATRIX 2TM MB865 is the smartphone that doubles as an entertainment center. You can have a blast doing multiple things at once: watching movies, web surfing, sharing pictures, you name it,” added Fernando Sanchez, general manager for Mobile Devices, Motorola Mobility Chile.

Last but not least, Motorola ATRIX 2 is powered by a 1785 mAh Li-Ion battery, which should provide up to 382 hours of standby time or up to 9 hours of talk time.
