Verdict

The Motorola DROID XYBOARD 8.2 MZ609 is an 8.2-inch Android tablet featuring a high-definition IPS display with 1280 x 800 resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass protection. Powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core TI OMAP4430 processor and 1GB of RAM, this 32GB LTE model offers fast 4G connectivity and a slim, lightweight 390g industrial design with a unique tapered bezel. Key advantages include its portability, bright display, stereo speakers with virtual surround sound, and a built-in IR blaster for universal remote functionality. However, it is held back by the awkward placement of the power and volume buttons on the rear, the lack of a microSD card slot for storage expansion, and significantly reduced battery life when using the power-intensive 4G LTE connection.
