Asus FonePad 7 Review

8 GB (FE170CG)     See other variants reviews Score: 50.7 / 100

Asus FonePad 7 is a not so powerful tablet launched in 2014, equipped with a pretty large 7" touch-screen, a fast Dual-Core processor ticking at 1200 MHz, a 2 megapixels back facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front-facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this tablet's advantages when we get into specific details.

This tablet just has 7.56" long, but it is able to fit a a 7" screen. This tablet is quite slim and comfortable, but it's not close to being one of the thinnest tablet devices in the market, with a thickness of 0.42 inches. This time, it seems like Asus forgot about weight optimization in this 10.23 ounces device. Asus made the Asus FonePad 7available just in white color.

Asus packed this tablet with a good level 7" display, and a resolution of 1024 x 600 , which makes everything look nice. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

Asus decided to sell this tablet with a Intel Atom Z2520 system chip, which holds a good performance Dual-Core processing unit ticking at 1200 MHz and 1 GB of RAM. A good point of the Asus FonePad 7 is its 8 GB quite big internal memory and an SD card slot, allowing you to store a couple hundred apps and games without any trouble.

This tablet has wifi connection (but it can't share it with other devices acting as a wireless modem or router), HSPA+ (4G) connection type, which is not as fast as LTE-A or LTE 4G networks and fast 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This tablet uses a Micro SIM card for GSM services.

The Asus FonePad 7 has two cameras, a 2 MP back camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera. It is capable of filming 1280x720 HD videos. The camera also includes auto-focus and geo tagging.

The Asus FonePad 7 also features a couple interesting characteristics as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Navigation, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor and Accelerometer.

The Asus FonePad 7 is priced around 249 dollars, which is a very high price for comparing with similar tablets.
