Lenovo-owned Motorola, after a gap of more than five years, has launched a brand new tablet dubbed as Moto Tab in the US.
Going by the specifications, the new Moto Tab is clearly not a successor to the Xoom, but a mid-range Android tablet, but has a big 10.1-inch full HD (1920x1080p) screen, and fingerprint sensor-cum-home button and camera (MP count not specified) on top, at the front. It also has a rear-camera with LED flash on the top left corner, as well.
