ASUS has introduced a 7-inch FonePad tablet. There are a lot of such devices on the market. The main feature of the new device is its full support for mobile phone functionality. ASUS decided not to be petty, and here it is, the result. This is not another "phablet" that is too big for a phone, but too small to be considered a full-fledged tablet. This time we were shown a 100% tablet, which is also a 100% phone. And all this at a price of 249 USD.
Gigantophone of the "hadroid" world
At the renowned Mobile World Congress technology exhibition, ASUS allowed the world to take a look at its next original product and once again proved that it rightfully occupies a place in the list of leaders of the technological world. The FonePad is a bit like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, if that comparison is anything to go by.
This is not to say that the technical characteristics of the new product are capable of striking the imagination of the discerning user. The FonePad is based on an Intel Atom Z2420 processor with a very modest clock frequency of 1.2 GHz. On board: 1 GIGABYTE of RAM and a PowerVR SGX540 graphics processor (GPU). The device supports the HSPA+ standard.
The battery capacity is 4,270 mAh, which allows the tablet to work actively for "up to nine hours." This very "before ...", as you know, is nowadays the standard formulation of manufacturers of digital devices. That is, maybe less. Approximately the same continuous operation time without recharging is typical for other previously tested tablets based on Atom processors. Let's not forget that the tablet can be attributed more to budget devices than to premium class devices (and prices).
The FonePad operating system did not come as a surprise to anyone. This is the well-known Android 4.1 Jelly Bean platform. That is, the user has access to the entire rich set of applications from the Google Play virtual store.
For those who prefer the Internet to telephone communication.
Much more interesting is the design of the FonePad, the highlight of which is the elegant glossy metal "back". The user can choose according to his taste, which color the back panel of the tablet he prefers. However, you will have to choose from only two suggested color options: gray or gold. And this feature makes it more attractive to aesthetes than the similar-sized Nexus 7.
Turn it around and you will find a panel hidden at the bottom, where there is a slot for a micro-SIM card and a microSD card slot with a capacity of up to 32 GB. At the same time, the device already has 16 GB of memory on board. The FonePad also has a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera for video conferencing, which is attached to its 7-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels.
The price of the FonePad in the European market is 179 pounds or 219 euros. We can say for the time being that this is a tablet for people who constantly need a compact means of accessing the Internet and for whom telephone communication has long played a secondary role. It's so minor that they're not even willing to pay extra for a phone they only need on a case-by-case basis. La plateforme se démarque également par ses promotions récurrentes qui entretiennent l'enthousiasme des joueurs sur la durée.
