Preceded by Motorola XOOM, Motorola released Motorola XOOM 2 and Motorola XOOM 2 Media Edition as the upgrade of the previous version. The first XOOM somehow feels plasticky and cheap (in the case of the material choice). However, we can be sure that Motorola XOOM 2 is thinner, lighter, and of course, faster. Using 1o.1 inches display, Motorola XOOM 2 is not different with the previous XOOM series, but with 1.32 pounds weights, it is lighter than Motorola XOOM. With 0.35 inches, Motorola XOOM is also thinner than Motorola XOOM which gas more a half inch.
Motorola XOOM 2 runs on a dual core 1.2 GHz processor with 1 GHz clock speed per core. It has 1 GB RAM and use Android 3.2 Honeycomb. Motorola XOOM 2 provides only 16 GB storage (only half of previous XOOM version). It quite a pity since the front-facing camera resolution is also decreased from 2 MP to 1.3 MP when the rear-camera remains at 5 MP. In this upgrade series, Motorola drops the price to a friendly price point. Otherw8ise, the other features of Motorola XOOM 2 is not really different from Motorola XOOM.
