Verdict

The Motorola XOOM 2 MZ615 is a 10.1-inch Android tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 pixel HD-IPS LCD display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass and a splash-resistant coating. It is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4430 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage, all housed in a slim 8.8mm chassis with a distinct octagonal design and rubberised edges for improved grip. Key features include a 5MP rear camera with 720p video recording, a 1.3MP front camera, a 7000 mAh battery, and specialized tools like an infrared transmitter for universal remote functionality and MotoCast for media streaming. Main pros include its significantly lighter build compared to its predecessor, a high-quality display with excellent viewing angles, and solid build quality; however, it is held back by occasionally sluggish performance, a lack of expandable storage on many retail units, and an outdated software experience.
