Asus Fonepad is confusingly similar to Google tablet Nexus 7 Something that is not very strange considering that it’s Asus that also produces the Nexus 7
Some differences exist, however. Asus Fonepad has a slightly different screen, although the resolution is the same. Fonepad also has a somewhat simpler single core against Nexus 7 which has a powerful quad-core Tegra 3 processor. While these differences are clearly advantageous for Nexus 7, turn Fonepad back with some very clear advantages over the Nexus 7
The main difference is that you can use Fonepad as a phone. But even if you can hold it to your ear and get Gordon Gekko (in the movie Wall Street) with its brick-sized Motorola to look cool, it is enough use of Fonepad as mobile more natural with headphones or to use it as a speakerphone.
Mobile connectivity on a tablet is something we appreciate and we have never understood why many tablet with SIM card should only be used for data – not voice.
In addition, Fonepad have room for memory cards. It may not offer the Nexus 7.
use
Asus Fonepad have an orderly and structured oppstartsprodsedyre and we think it is most logical and in order.
For example, it asks for a password to your wireless network before it asks you to log into your Google account. We have seen examples of the opposite, where the device where the device automatically uses the mobile broadband until you’re done with the setup.
Fonepad is equipped with Android 4.1.2 and lightly embellished with some Asus features and applications. Mostly of the positive kind, which links to “floating” applications where, for example, can see the video in a small window in a corner while browsing the web Where practical and useful this is on a 7 inch screen can certainly debatable, but it is nevertheless a way to “multitask” on.
Clean design
Designed for Fonepad resembles natural enough on Nexus 7, but is a little easier. Here is a clean shell of aluminum and a neat home with a black frame around the screen. The screen is plastic and not glass, so we’re looking at the more expensive tablet. We seem designed to Asus Fonepad is successful. In fact there were a few pieces that have wondered if there is an iPad mini we had left on the desk. Build quality is good.
We also like that it is almost entirely flat and calm when we use it lying on a flat surface. The outlet for the headphones is located on the bottom of the tablet. It allows the cord sometimes get in the way when using Fonepad seated at a table. When the headphones that do not support the tablet on the table in a natural way.
Ok performance
Asus Fonepad is not the most powerful in the tablet class. The tablet is weaker than the Nexus 7, but we still think it kicks fine basis in our performance tests. Especially considering that the tablet has a relatively modest single core. In use, we sometimes experience some hiccups, but mostly we think it is to live with.
There Asus Fonepad really impresses is the battery life. The we measured the entire 9 hours and 34 minutes in our test. It is impressive and we have previously only measured one tablet with better battery life, namely the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Battery life is actually the whole two hours better than what we measured on the iPad mini and almost 2.5 hours better than the Nexus 7
The major disadvantage of Fonepad is that the brightness of the screen is a bit small. The auto function is set too aggressively against the dark, allowing you often have to go in and override the function and set the brightness manually.
Conclusion
Asus Fonepad is a reasonable and quite ok tablet. Are you primarily looking for a small and compact tablet is the better option, as Nexus 7 and iPad mini. However, if you either want a cheap tablet with 3G and cellular function – or a large mobile, so Asus Fonepad a bargain.
We envision many good uses for Asus Fonepad. All of those who want a large screen in the car (if you can find a good universal mount) for GPS navigation, to office workers who want a convenient and compact tablet that doubles as a speakerphone or maybe older who need a touch phone with large keys.
At a price of 1.990 million cost Asus Fonepad 200 less than the Nexus 7 with 3G (32GB). The choice is yours. We would choose Asus Fonepad because of mobile functionality, but you do not it’s probably Nexus 7 is the best choice.
