Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 is a powerful tablet launched back in the year 2011, provisioned with a good performance Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1200 MHz, a large 10.1" multi touch screen, and 2 cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front side camera. But let's get into a bit more details.

A key feature of the Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 is its astonishing 64 GB internal storage and though it doesn't count with an SD extension slot, it it is more than enough to store tons of apps, games, songs, photos and videos without worrying about running out of space at all.

Motorola didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 21.27 oz tablet. This tablet is just 0.35 inches thick, making its way into the thinnest tablets podium. The Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 is a very compact tablet, taking into consideration it features a 10.1" screen and it is just 10 inches long and 6.83 inches wide.

Motorola designed this tablet with a good 10.1" display, and a resolution of 800 x 1280 , providing this portable tablet with an average image quality. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This tablet provides wifi connection (and it can provide it to other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high performance connection type and 3G data connection, using EV-DO A technologies. The Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 doesn't have a SIM card, because it's not a GSM enabled device and it can work with CDMA networks.

This tablet has two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front-facing camera. the Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1's back facing camera lens has a 2.8 aperture so it has a lot of trouble taking sharp pictures in low light environments. It is also able to shoot videos up to 1280x720 (HD) at 30 frames per second. In addition, the camera includes auto-focus and flash.

The Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 also includes a handful of interesting features as Bluetooth (2.1, EDR) and GPS Geolocation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This tablet packs a 7000 mAh big capacity Li-Ion non-removable battery that provides this tablet an incredibly long 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 buy a new battery when it starts to lose its charge, while with this big battery you will probably replace this tablet before that becomes an issue.

The Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 might not be such a good choice considering it costs 175 dollars, and other similar tablets are being sold for less than that. No matter if you are looking for a work device, want this tablet device mostly for internet broswing and social networks, are looking for a portable tablet for playing games or want it to take plenty of photographs, this tablet device is probably the right choice .
