Summary
- The Motorola XOOM Media Edition MZ505 features a larger 10.1-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels, while the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Wi has an 8.0-inch TFT display with the same resolution but a higher pixel density of approximately 189 ppi.
- In terms of performance, the XOOM is powered by a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, whereas the Galaxy Note 8.0 utilizes a more advanced quad-core Exynos 4412 chipset, providing better multitasking capabilities.
- Both tablets have a 5 MP rear camera and a 1.3 MP front camera, but their battery capacities differ significantly, with the XOOM having a 24.8 mAh battery compared to the Note 8.0's 4600 mAh, which likely results in longer usage time for the latter.
- The XOOM runs on an older Android 3.1 (upgradable to 4.0), while the Note 8.0 offers a more recent Android 4.1.2 (upgradable to 4.4), providing a more modern software experience.
- Build quality favors the Galaxy Note 8.0, which is lighter at 338g and thinner at 8 mm compared to the XOOM's 650g and 11.4 mm.
