The Motorola Atrix line has been a big one for the company. Yet with two iterations out so far, the phones have yet to really wow anyone. But according to this specs/photo leak, the Atrix 3 may leave you humming a different tune.

Tian Jin Daily reports that the Atrix 3 will sport a 4.3-inch 720p display, which is a nice start but that’s not even where things get exciting. Under the hood, you’ll find a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, 2GB of RAM and a massive 3300mAh battery.

That’s the same battery we’re seeing on the Droid RAZR Maxx and let me tell you, even with a 4G LTE radio on the whole time that battery will last you all day, no problem.

Though we’re not 100 percent sure this is the Atrix 3, it makes sense based on the timing and the fact that this phone seems to be built around Atrix design language rather than that Razr-esque style Moto’s been so fond of lately.

The purported Atrix 3 should also pack a 10-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash. No word whether or not this bad boy will run Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, but based on the fact that Moto already has a Medfield-powered ICS handset in the works, I’d say it’s officially safe to have hope.
