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.
