Motorola Atrix MB860 4G 16 GB, A Grade, Carrier Returns, AT&T variant, GSM unlocked
Motorola Atrix MB860 4G from carrier-return stock graded A-stock, lightly used and fully tested, 16 GB, AT&T variant and GSM unlocked. A Grade Atrix units are the ones collectors and display buyers want when they need a clean example of the first dual-core AT&T Android, and the fingerprint reader and qHD screen are the talking points.
The Motorola Atrix 4G, model MB860, was AT&T's early-2011 flagship and one of the first dual-core Android phones: a 1 GHz dual-core processor, a 4-inch qHD 960 x 540 display under Gorilla Glass, 16 GB of storage with a microSD slot for 32 GB more, a 5 MP rear camera and front camera for video calls, a fingerprint reader in the power key, and Motorola's webtop mode that ran a desktop Firefox browser from an optional laptop or multimedia dock. It shipped on Android 2.2 with MOTOBLUR and runs on AT&T's HSPA+ network, which AT&T marketed as 4G.
Collectors, prop houses, and parts dealers buy the Atrix from TG Wireless as a landmark Android design; the dock accessories and model number still draw search traffic.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote.
Network and compatibility
The Atrix 4G is a 2G GSM and 3G HSPA+ (sold as 4G, but not LTE) phone with no LTE radio, so it gets no voice or data service on any US carrier: AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026. See the network status line in the table for the lock state. Realistic uses are export to markets where GSM or UMTS service is still live, collectors and enthusiasts, film and TV props, parts and display units, and Wi-Fi use within the limits of Android 2.3.
Resale fit
- Collectors of early dual-core Android flagships and Motorola webtop hardware.
- Film, TV, and photo productions needing a correct 2011 AT&T smartphone.
- Parts and display stock for MB860 screens, batteries, and dock-compatible units.
- Export to markets where GSM or UMTS service remains live.
