Power button hard to findLook and Feel...
Yellow hue across screen
Flap at bottom serves no function
Camera uses stock UI
1.2GHz dual-core futureproofing is questionable

Sluggish performance

Won't fulfill its potential until Android 4 upgrade
Great screen, design, feels solid, MotoCast is useful
No microSD option, some app compatibility problems,
A worthwhile upgrade to the original Xoom - aside from that microSD irritation - and a great tablet. It's just not as advanced in either operating system, or processor power, as we think it needs to be to out-sell the competition...
The Xoom 2 is a decent enough machine that looks great and feels good in the hand, but it’s no major leap forward from the original Xoom. The extra 200MHz of chip speed has little measurable impact on performance. And with Tegra 3-based offerings out ...
Good specs and robust design, MotoCast app comes in handy, Adobe Flash support, reasonable price
Slow charging time, browsing not as smooth as other Android devices, no confirmed date for ICS update, micro-SD card support has been removed
The Xoom 2 is a valiant effort from Motorola, but is not the major step up from the original that we were expecting. We enjoyed using the MotoCast software and retaining the Adobe Flash experience, but the slow charging time and jerky internet experien...

Improved aesthetics, Slightly lighter, Good web browsing
Lack of Android ICS, Sluggish screen rotation, Audio port issues
More of a spruce than the dramatic overhaul needed to bring the Xoom in line with the market leader, the Motorola Xoom 2 is a strong performer across most areas but in no way sets the world, or user experience, on fire.A somewhat strange release from
Non-expandable memory, No touch focusing on camera, No Android Ice Cream Sandwich, yet, Non-aggressive pricing
The second Motorola Xoom 2 is much thinner and lighter than the original. The screen is better and the processor more powerful. However, there's an element of treading water to the design as it doesn't improve upon more recent rivals much. An IR transmitt...
Well built and stylish, Smaller form factor is lighter and easy to hold, Good screen and performance, Useful extra features, Android still lacks apps
Display suffers from backlight bleed, No expandable memory or 3G
The Xoom 2 Media Edition doesn't completely win us over thanks to a few sloppy design decisions, a lack of 3G option, no expandable memory and Android's continued lack of apps. However, the core features on offer are compelling, with an IR transmitter for...
Abstract: The holiday season for many has bought in a lot of excitement and thrill in the world of technology. The success of a device depends on the time that it ships in for the masses. This time Motorola is bringing in the Xoom 2 at a time when Apple's iPad is s...

The Motorola Xoom 2 feels like an amalgamation of all our favorite Android tablets of 2011.
Not as fast as current top Android competitors; expensive; cannot be recognized as a generic USB device.
The Motorola Xoom 2 is a premium Android tablet from the company that defined the category, held back by a high price and uninspired design. ...
