Regarding its materials quality, this tablet is made of Aluminum . Being just 0.28 inches thick,the Asus ZenPad 3S 10 Z500M is very thin and good-looking. Even though this tablet is only 9.47 inches long, it still manages to pack a 9.7" screen.
Asus decided to equip this tablet device with an extremely fast 2100 MHz Hexa-Core processor, bundled in a MediaTek MT8176 system chip and a large 4 GB of RAM memory. This tablet counts with a 64 GB great internal storage and an external memory card slot, which allows you to store hundreds of applications and even the heaviest games currently available without having to worry about running out of space.
Asus designed this tablet with a interesting 9.7 inches display, and a 1536 x 2048 resolution, giving this tablet device a very nice image quality.

This tablet has wi-fi connection (which can be provided to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot). The Asus ZenPad 3S 10 Z500M doesn't have a SIM card, because it's not a GSM tablet device.
This tablet uses a 5900 mAh big capacity Li - Polymer non-removable battery that can keep this tablet running for many hours without having to charge it. An issue to take into consideration is that the Asus ZenPad 3S 10 Z500M's battery is not replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it starts to lose its charge, although with such a great capacity you will probably discard this portable tablet before it becomes an issue.
