Asus Fonepad
 |
Asus Fonepad is an affordable 7-inch tablet supporting 3G running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. This model has similar to the Nexus 7 dimensions 196.4 x 120.1 x 10.4 mm and a weight of 340 grams. The tablet comes with solid bezels and aluminum back with a dark plastic up front. The plastic strip is removable and it hides the micro SD card slot and the 3G SIM slot. That’s essential since the Asus Fonepad comes with just 16 GB of storage, compared with the Nexus 7 which comes with 16 or 32 GB. As far as the other extras, this tablet has a micro USB port and a headphone jack placed at the bottom edge, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Asus Fonepad packs a 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels with good viewing angles due to the IPS technology. However, we think the screen is very reflective and the color reproduction below the high-end models. The Fonepad has just one camera on-board. It’s a 1.3 MP up front allowing you to take standalone shots and videos at 720p. The battery is non-removable and it has a capacity of 4270 mAh. Overall, the Asus Fonepad is a good low-budget offering. |
