Review Motorola Xoom 2 MZ607 Tablet/MID

 

Flat multimedia tablet. The Xoom 2 Media Edition is very compact. Motorola opted for a somewhat unusual screen size of 8.2 inches, which is located somewhere between the common sizes of seven and 10.1 inches. Can the 9 millimeter flat slate live up to...

Handy and lightweight ; Bright screen ; High viewing angle stability ; Good workmanship

Less power than its predecessor ; High price ; Tight internal memory

That the Xoom 2 ME amazingly produces so much sound. The sound experience is good for a tablet, even if it soon finds its limits

Review Motorola Xoom 2 MZ616 Tablet/MID

 

Elegant Evolution. The successor to the Xoom is here: the Xoom 2. The new tablet looks better and performs faster thanks to its upgraded hardware. But is it fast enough to compete with the latest tablet generation? We put the Xoom 2 (16 GB with 3G) to...

Bright display ; Great viewing angles ; Light ; Fast WLAN and 3G

Keys "feel" bad ; Average battery life ; Modest camera quality

The few changes from the predecessor, which is direct competition. The "old" Xoom can be bought at a much cheaper price

Review Motorola Xoom WiFi/UMTS Tablet/MID

 

ZOOM ZOOM.The first 10.1" Motorola tablet goes by the name XOOM. Nothing could possibly go wrong, one would think. If Motorola applies their know-how from smart phones, touch interfaces and the Android operating system in the Xoom Tablet correctly, the...

Fan / silent operation; Large memory; 5 MP digicam; Good power management

Reflective display surface; Unusable microSD slot; Lack of controls on the device; Often crashes ; Isn't recognized by Vista

Motorola Xoom Review - this in-depth review of the Motorola Xoom covers the pro and cons of the first tablet running on Android 3.0, aka Honeycomb

Overall the Motorola Xoom is one of the best tablets available on the market, featuring great performance, an efficient user interface and a good multimedia experience. However, the software is still a bit unstable, I had a few applications crash...

Motorola Xoom 32GB 3G + Wifi Android Tablet

 

The one that started it all i.e. Motorola's Xoom, was the first commercially available tablet to rock Google's Honeycomb OS. Launched in early 2011, Motorola took their own sweet time in b

At Rs. 35,590 the Motorola Xoom’s only other competitor is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 750. Both are almost equally powerful and have similar feature sets, except for the fact that the Tab 750 has only 16GB of internal memory as opposed to 32GB on the Xoom....

Motorola Xoom 2 review

 

It was 10 months ago, during the Super Bowl, that Motorola announced the original Xoom to the world. In a 60-second ad that spared no expense, Google and Motorola united to show us their bold new vision for tablets; Honeycomb was going to revolutionize...

Significantly thinner and lighter than predecessor ; IPS display is a strength ; Camera produces very respectable stills ; MotoCast works as advertised

Sluggish performance ; No storage expansion options ; Priced too close to the iPad 2 ; Won't fulfill its potential until Android 4 upgrade

Motorola might have done us all a favor by just waiting until Android 4 was ready to ship

Motorola Xoom 4G LTE (Verizon Wireless)

 

Editors' note: The Xoom is upgradable from 3G to Verizon's 4G LTE network. This requires that you ship your Xoom to Motorola for the upgrade. While you can expect faster download speeds, once your Xoom is upgraded, all other details remain identical as...

With Google's next generation of Android, Motorola's knack for great hardware, and Verizon's promise of 4G network compatibility, the Xoom tablet technically offers a more powerful, more capable alternative to Apple's iPad.

It's expensive, slightly heftier than the iPad, and novice users may balk at Android 3.0's read-the-manual attitude. Adobe Flash not yet supported.

The Xoom's spec sheet is enough to make any tablet tremble, but the price is high and Google still has some work to do before its tablet software experience is as fleshed out and intuitive as Apple's.

Xoom 2

 

Motorola's Xoom 2 arrives at a point where Apple's iPad (first- or second-generation...) still dominates the tablet market. The original Xoom was the first tablet to arrive with Android Honeycomb, an OS dedicated to the tablet form. In the months since...

Lighter and slimmer than its predecessor ; Splashproof coating ; (Almost) undiluted Android experience ; Built-in IR emitter

Only 16GB of storage: lacks expansion option ; Fingerprint-magnet

The Motorola Xoom 2 improves on the original in almost every way. However, it's no longer the only Honeycomb tablet out there, and pricing seems far too optimistic.

Motorola XOOM review: The Big Bang

 

Phones far and wide wanted to be the iPhone killer and you know what – tablets are no different. The iPad needs to get used to living with a bounty on its head. And always be ready for the likes of the Motorola XOOM. But the XOOM is no ordinary...

10.1” capacitive touchscreen of 1280 x 800 pixel resolution; multi-touch ; 730g of weight ; Dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n connectivity; Wi-Fi hotspot ; Optional 3G connectivity (data only) – HSPA or 1xEV-DO (LTE via upgrade) ; GPS...

Seems quite laggy despite the 1GHz dual-core CPU ; Screen is very reflective, hard to use outdoors ; Quite a porker at 730 grams ; No kickstand – it cannot be stood up on a table without a dock ; Non-replaceable battery ; Can’t charge off USB ;...

But the XOOM is no ordinary competitor. We’re talking the first Honeycomb tablet, a cornerstone for Android. It’s Motorola’s first tablet too. If they play their cards right, it could be a big money earner for a company in trouble, so we know Moto gave...

Motorola Xoom (titanium)

 

Editors' note: Motorola's Xoom tablet was originally released in February 2011 as the first tablet to run Google's tablet-optimized Android 3.0 software. Since that time, it has undergone numerous software updates, as well as a 4G hardware update....

The first tablet to combine Google's Android 3.0 software (now upgradable to Android 4.0), Motorola's knack for great hardware, and Verizon's 4G network, the Xoom tablet technically offers a more powerful, more capable alternative to Apple's original...

It's expensive, heftier than the iPad 2, and novice users may balk at Android's read-the-manual attitude.

Despite some useful features, the Xoom's high price and bulky design make it a less than desirable tablet offering.
