Motorola Droid XYBoard 8.2 Review

32 GB Wi-Fi (MZ609)     See other variants reviews Score: 61.8 / 100

Motorola Droid XYBoard 8.2 is a high-level tablet device released many years ago, having a big 8.2-inches touch-screen, a good performance 1200 MHz Dual-Core processing unit, and 2 cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 1.3 MP front side camera.

Motorola sells this tablet with a TI OMAP 4430 system chip, holding a powerful 1200 MHz Dual-Core processor with 1 GB of RAM memory. Graphic intensive apps usually eats lots of processor cycles, so the Motorola Droid XYBoard 8.2 counts with an additional 200 megahertz PowerVR SGX540 graphics processing unit to improve overall performance. This tablet has a huge 32 GB internal storage and even though it doesn't have a slot for an SD memory card, it it is more than enough to install lots of apps, games, songs, photos and videos without even thinking about running out of space.

This tablet is a bit heavy for a tablet of this size, with a weight of 13.76 ounces. The Motorola Droid XYBoard 8.2 is a very compact tablet, considering it packs a 8.2 inches display and it's only 8.5" long. The Motorola Droid XYBoard 8.2 is slim, being just 0.35" thick.

Motorola packed the Motorola Droid XYBoard 8.2 with a nice 8.2 inches display, and a resolution of 800 x 1280 , providing this portable tablet with a good graphic quality. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This tablet is equipped with two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front facing camera. It is capable of shooting videos in 1280x720 (HD) at 30 fps. To complete the camera, it also counts with flash and auto-focus.

The Motorola Droid XYBoard 8.2 has wi-fi capability (and it can share it with other devices acting as a modem), LTE (4G) fast connectivity and 3G connectivity, using EV-DO A technologies. The Motorola Droid XYBoard 8.2 doesn't have a SIM card, because it doesn't work with GSM services and it works in CDMA networks.

This tablet uses an awesome 3960 mAh Li-Ion non-replaceable battery, enough to provide this tablet with an impressive battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that this device's battery is non-removable so you can't change it when it begins to get older, although with such a great capacity you will probably buy a new tablet before that becomes an issue.

This tablet also comes with a few interesting characteristics like Infrared Port, Bluetooth (enables communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

Motorola sells this tablet for $ 380, which is very expensive for this type of tablet. No matter if you want this device majorly for social networks, want this tablet device for playing games, love photography or will use it as a work portable tablet, you will probably be very satisfied with this tablet.
