Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 Review

Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 is an incredible Android tablet launched some years ago, in 2011, equipped with a 10.1-inches capacitive touch-screen, a great performance Dual-Core processor speeding at 1.2 gigahertz, and two cameras, a 5 megapixels back camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front facing camera. Let's take a closer sight of what this tablet can give us.

Motorola ships the Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 with a TI OMAP 4430 system chip, including a great performance 1.2 GHz Dual-Core processing unit and 1 GB of RAM. Collaborating with graphic intensive tasks, this tablet also has a PowerVR SGX540 GPU working at 200 megahertz. This device comes with a 16 GB quite big internal storage and although it doesn't include an SD memory card expansion slot, it is enough to install hundreds of apps, although it may not be suitable if you are planning to install some of the largest games available nowadays.

It seems like Motorola forgot about weight optimization in this 21.13 ounces tablet. The Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 is incredibly slim and practical, with a thickness of just 0.35". While this tablet only has 10" long, it still manages to pack a 10.1 inches display.

Motorola designed this tablet with a interesting 10.1 inches screen, and a resolution of 800 x 1280 , providing this tablet with a good graphic quality. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

The Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 has Wi-Fi connection (which it can share with other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high speed connection type and 3G internet connection, supported by EV-DO A technologies. This device doesn't have a sim card, because it's not a GSM enabled device and it can connect to CDMA networks.

This device has two cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 1.3 MP front camera. this tablet's back camera has an aperture of F2.8 so it struggles to take clear photos in dark environments. It can also capture HD 1280x720 videos at 30 frames per second. To complete the camera, it also counts with flash and auto-focus.

The Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 also comes with some cool characteristics like Bluetooth and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

The Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 counts with a 7000 mAh massive Li-Ion non-replaceable battery, enough to provide this tablet with an incredible battery life. An issue to take into consideration is that the Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1's battery is not removable so you can't change it when it begins to lose capacity, while with this big battery you will probably discard this tablet before that becomes an issue.

Motorola offers this tablet for 175 dollars, which is not a really offer for this type of tablet. No matter whether you are a photography fan, will use this tablet mainly for internet broswing and social networks, are looking for a work tablet device or want a tablet to play games, this device is probably very appropiate for you.
