Both tablets are almost similar in design. The two devices feature a 1.2GHz dual-core processors, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. The tablets run Android 3.2, much to the dismay of Ice Cream Sandwich fans, and come with a suite of Google apps.
The differences, meanwhile, are quite few. The Xoom 2 comes with a 10.1-inch HD touchscreen with Gorilla Glass, a “splash guard” for those who like playing Angry Birds pool side, and up to 10 hours of battery life. On the other hand, the Xoom 2 Media Edition is smaller with its 8.2-inch display, MotoCAST remote media streaming service, and about six hours of battery life.
The Motorola Xoom 2 will be released in United Kingdom and Ireland in “mid-November,” with a rumored cost of 399.90 euros (about US$522). No word yet on whether these tablets will reach the Americas.
