  • Excellent build quality, Motocast software, Unique looking design
  • Outdated Android software, Sluggish performance, Expensive
  • The Xoom 2 has an extremely tough fight on its hands to remain relevant in an increasingly crowded market. Motorola has made it thinner, lighter and faster than the original Xoom, but it is running outdated Android software and has sluggish performance. S...

  • One of the great things about being in our line of work is that we get to see a steady stream of awesome devices on a fairly regular basis, but the flip-side to that is that we also tend to get a bit dismissive of any gadget that doesn't immediately blow...

  • Abstract:  If you took one look at our Motorola RAZR hands-on review and wished it came in a tablet edition, consider your wish granted. Twice. This is the larger of Motorola's second-gen Xoom tablets, the Xoom 2. Taking its sharp-edged design cues from said phone, ...

  • Thin and light, Crisp, clear screen, Splashproof coating, Good battery life
  • MotoCast software not quite ready, Limited storage, Too expensive, Some build quality gripes
  • Taken in isolation, the Xoom 2 isn't a bad tablet by any means. It's thin and light, it runs fairly smoothly and has decent battery life. But it's really hampered by the lack of storage options, and that inflexibility is its downfall when you consider th...

  • Nice Design, Good Screen, Some Nice Software Features
  • Can feel a little Flimsy, A little lag is evident, Not Android ICS 4.0, Some software misses
  • The Xoom 2 is most definitely an improvement on the quite good original model and has a lot to commend it. However, the arrival of the new iPad and quad core tablets take the shine off it a little bit....

  • A generally pleasing screen, even when outdoors, MotoCast good for managing digital content and playing it remotely, Infrared emitter/detector, LED info light
  • No memory upgrades possible, Camera and speaker location, Battery life, Choppy zooming, Universal remote function less intuitive than on the Sony S, No Android 4.0 at the moment
  • The Xoom 2 Media Edition has a lot going for it. It also has its share of failings, such as the sloppy handling issues, the lack of Android 4.0 update (for now, at least), the lack of memory upgrades, low battery life for a mobile device, and the fact ...

  • Fast processor; solid build; great screen,
  • No memory expansion.
  • The Motorola Xoom 2 is a great tablet. Its slightly quirky design doesn’t hamper its use, and it has plenty of oomph under the bonnet. Without memory expansion, it feels slightly hampered and for that reason, it has lost a mark, in our books. ...
