Conclusion Which is better for you?
Features Key features of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 compared to the Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1
“10.1
Android 3.1 Honeycomb
10.1”
Android 3.2 Honeycomb
Rated 60% by by The Verge (Dec, 2011)The 8.2- and 10.1-inch tablets have thinner designs, better cameras, IPS displays, 1.2GHz processors, IR blasters for controlling your TV, and LTE baked inside (let’s not rehash the Xoom’s nightmare upgrade process).
screen size

10.1"
Galaxy Tab 10.1 by Bob-Tobias--Robert-TobiasThe large display provides rich colors and intricate details.
Droid Xyboard 10.1 by The Verge (Dec, 2011)I actually really like the size of the 8.2; it’s just the right form factor for one-handed use but has a slightly larger screen than something like the HTC Flyer or Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7.
screen resolution
Galaxy Tab 10.1 by TrustedReviews (Mar, 2012)The sky isn't as vivid a blue as the real thing, and zooming-in on these shots shows they don't offer enough detail to print out at a decent size.
Droid Xyboard 10.1 by The Verge (Dec, 2011)Colors are brighter and more accurate, and viewing angles are drastically better.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 2 MP | 2 MP |
Galaxy Tab 10.1 by Jaffrey-W.-Ali--Relentless-Pursuit-of-TechnologyIt does not matter that the front camera on the Tab is higher resolution, the performance is the same when video chatting.
Droid Xyboard 10.1 by The Verge (Dec, 2011)The 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera takes the usual blurry and unimpressive shots, though it provides a solid video calling experience.
processor
Galaxy Tab 10.1 by Alex-Drelles (Jun, 2011)Secondly it is so thin and light it's hard to imagine there is a dual core processor, somehow magically sandwiched between the battery and the screen.
Droid Xyboard 10.1 by The Verge (Dec, 2011)Next week the first quad-core tablet hits — the Transformer Prime — and it has double the performance, a better display, and camera for just $499.
Performance Real world tests of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 vs Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1
cpu speed
Droid Xyboard 10.1 by c|net (Dec, 2011)On paper, this sounds like an improvement over the 1GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processors used in most Honeycomb tablets, but I really didn't feel the difference in terms of navigation or overall system responsiveness.
battery life
10 hour
10 hour
Galaxy Tab 10.1 by Carolyn-P (Jan, 2012)The battery life is okay, not great, but it charges fairly fast.
Droid Xyboard 10.1 by c|net (Dec, 2011)Motorola rates the Xyboard 10.1 at 10 hours of Web browsing or playing videos with Wi-Fi active.
