Verdict

The Motorola XOOM 2 Media Edition 3G MZ608 is a portable 8.2-inch tablet featuring an 800 x 1280 pixel TFT display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass and powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4430 processor. This specific variant is equipped with 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and 3G cellular connectivity for mobile data.
