Short Review
- The Motorola XOOM 2 Media Edition 3G MZ608 features a compact design with dimensions of 216 x 139 x 9 mm and a weight of 386 grams, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 8.2-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 184 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Powered by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 processor and TI OMAP 4430 chipset, the device delivers satisfactory performance for basic tasks, supported by 1GB of RAM.
- The 5 MP rear camera captures images with autofocus, while the 1.3 MP front camera is suitable for video calls, although neither offers advanced features like optical image stabilization.
- The 3960 mAh battery provides moderate longevity, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 3.2 (upgradable to 4.0.4), the software experience is tailored for tablet use, with stereo speakers enhancing media playback.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The device also includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a headphone jack for audio needs.
- Overall, the Motorola XOOM 2 Media Edition is a solid choice for basic media consumption and casual use.
- Its design and features cater to users seeking a straightforward tablet experience.
