Asus Fonepad 7 ME372CG Review

Asus Fonepad 7 ME372CG is a mid-end Android portable tablet launched in September 2013, coming with a pretty big 7-inches multi touch capacitive display, a great Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1.6 GHz, and two cameras, a 5 MP back-facing camera and a 1.2 mega-pixels front camera. Let's take a deeper look at what this tablet device has to offer.

Asus sells this tablet in two colors: black and white. Asus appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 11.99 oz tablet. The Asus Fonepad 7 ME372CG is only 7.75" long, but it still manages to hold a 7" screen. This tablet's thickness , 0.41 inches, is a little far from current standards, but it still feels quite fine in the user's hand.

Asus equipped this tablet with a Intel Atom Z2560 chip, holding a high performance Dual-Core processing unit clocking at 1600 MHz and only 1 GB RAM which is a bit disappointing for such a powerful device. The Asus Fonepad 7 ME372CG counts with an 8 GB interesting internal storage memory and an SD extension slot, which allows the user to install a couple hundred games and applications without any problem.

This tablet features two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 1.2 mega-pixels front camera. This tablet can also shoot 1920x1080 Full HD videos. To complete the camera, it also counts with geo tagging and auto-focus.

Asus packed this tablet with a interesting 7 inches display, and a 1280 x 800 resolution, which makes everything look vivid. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

This tablet features Wi-Fi capability (and it can share it with other devices as a mobile hotspot), HSPA+ 4G internet connection, which is not as fast as LTE-A or LTE 4G networks and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This tablet uses a Micro SIM card for GSM connection.

This tablet features an incredible 3950 mAh Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery that can keep this tablet running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without having to charge it. An issue to consider is that the Asus Fonepad 7 ME372CG's battery is not replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to have trouble holding its charge, even though with its 3950 mAh you will probably discard this device before that happens.

The Asus Fonepad 7 ME372CG also comes with a couple of nice characteristics like Bluetooth (enables communication with other portable tablets, computers and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This tablet is being sold for around $ 249, high for a portable tablet this level. It doesn't matter whether you will use it as a social tablet or will use it as a gamer tablet, this tablet is definitely the correct option for you.
