Motorola Xoom 2 hands-on
Thursday, November 3, 2011
Motorola has just unveiled two
new tablets in Europe, and we've managed to get our grubby mitts on
them. This one is the Xoom 2, the (almost) same-size successor to Moto's
first Android tablet. Matching its older sister's 10.1-inch Gorilla
Glass screen, there's now an all-over splash resistant coating (inside
and out), with those intriguing cut-off corners we've seen already there
to aid the ergonomics of handling the slab. Add to that, Motorola's
created something it's calling intelligent grip suppression, which
means you can hold the screen and navigate with your other hand without
hindrance. It runs Honeycomb 3.2, and gains an improved 1.2GHz dual-core
processor inside, with a front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera, and a five megapixel shooter on the back. Comparing the tablet to its predecessor, you won't believe how much thinner it is - it's Galaxy Tab 10.1-scale skinniness. Motorola also boast that it's now 100g lighter than the original Xoom, but we still get an HDMI port,
microUSB connectivity and 16GB of storage. There's also a stylus sold
separately, and behaving quite like the HTC Flyer's, though we haven't
been given a price just yet, though the Xoom 2 has now been priced up at
£379.99.
