Short Review
- The Motorola XOOM Media Edition MZ505 features a sturdy design with dimensions of 260 x 177 x 11.4 mm and a weight of 650g, making it relatively portable for a tablet.
- Its 10.1-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 149 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Nvidia Tegra 2 T20 chipset, with a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit capable of 720p video recording at 30fps, while the front-facing 1.3 MP camera is suitable for video calls.
- The battery capacity is 24.8mAh, but it does not support fast charging or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 3.1 (upgradable to 4.0), the software experience is limited by its age, though it includes stereo speakers and a headphone jack.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The device does not offer water resistance and is available only in black.
- Overall, the XOOM Media Edition is a basic tablet that meets essential needs but falls short in modern performance and features.
