Short Review
- The Motorola XOOM MZ601 features a robust design with dimensions of 249.1 x 167.8 x 12.9 mm and a weight of 730g, making it relatively portable for a tablet.
- Its 10.1-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 149 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking 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, providing adequate speed for everyday applications.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, while the front-facing camera is a basic 2 MP.
- Battery specifications are not provided, but the device does not support wireless charging.
- Running on Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) and upgradable to 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is limited by its inability to upgrade beyond Jelly Bean.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The tablet is equipped with stereo speakers and a headphone jack, enhancing audio output.
- Overall, the Motorola XOOM MZ601 is a solid device for basic tasks but shows its age in performance and software support.
