Motorola ATRIX 4G is no other but the long-rumored Motorola Olympus - a Tegra 2-powered dual-core Android beast, which seems to be dubbed by Moto as "the world's most powerful smartphone". The Olympian of a phone will of course have a giant 4" qHD screen, as well as the whooping 1GB of RAM and a monstrous 1930mAh battery to keep the whole thing alive.
