Motorola Xoom 2 hands on review

Motorola Xoom 2 – power and performance

The Xoom 2 puts a nice sheen on its outgoing Honeycomb OS regardless. Motorola’s stripped back its old Motoblur ways, so there’s little between you and raw Android – a good thing. Performance is expectedly agile, given the nippy 1.2GHz dual-core processor and Motorola is promising us over 10 hours of browsing on a single charge.

Our brief encounter with Motorola’s new tablet mean the final verdict on the Xoom 2’s battery life and performance will have to wait until we’ve taken a deeper plunge with it over a longer period of time in a our forthcoming Xoom 2 review. The 5MP camera shoots hi-def and rapidly adapts its focus and exposure levels. Great, but when was the last time you took a keeper with a tablet?
