Motorola First XOOM 2 Pictures

So far we have had a couple of rumors about a follow-up to Motorolas original XOOM, but nothing too substantial other than a mention of the name XOOM 2? tucked deep in a site redesign. Today, we may change that with pictures of what we believe to be Motos next big tablet, the MZ617 aka the XOOM 2.

Our sources tell us that the device is similar in weight to the original XOOM, has an HDMI and micro USB port on the bottom, big physical flush buttons on the back, a SIM card slot (LTE were assuming), and no SD slot at first glance. From looking at the pictures, we can gather that it has a front camera, a blue rear camera housing that reads HD, and appears to have a 10.1? screen. Oh, and those new angled corners certainly remind us of the Photon 4G or the DROID HD must be Motos new design theme.

No word on processor, although we would hope for something quad-core.

There doesnt appear to be specific carrier branding, but with the SIM card slot you have to assume that itll be tied to at least one if not all of the major players. Hopefully Moto has it figured out this time and releases the WiFi version first though.

A look at the backside after the break.
