Verdict

The Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition 3G MZ608 is an 8.2-inch Android tablet featuring a 1280x800 pixel TFT IPS display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. It is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core TI OMAP4430 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage, running on Android 3.2 Honeycomb. Key characteristics include its highly portable 386g weight, a splash-guard coating, 3G cellular connectivity, a 5MP rear camera with 720p video recording, and a 1.3MP front camera. Main pros are its sharp display with high pixel density (184 ppi), slim 9mm industrial design, and an integrated IR port for use as a universal remote. However, notable cons include the lack of a microSD slot for expandable storage, an outdated operating system with a limited tablet-specific app ecosystem, and relatively low battery life compared to contemporary competitors.
