Asus Fonepad Review


Asus Fonepad


Fonepad by ASUS is the first tablet by the company. This 7-inch tablet have  a large non-removable metal part with aluminium finish, and a small bronze colored plastic strip on top that is removable. 

This Fonepad have a screen resolution of 1280x800. It has 3MP rear and 1.2MP front camera. The camera app offers a lot of options including Panorama mode, settings for exposure, white balance, and ISO, among others. Video captured through the camera is saved in .3GP format. The front camera is strictly functional and can be used for video chats using Skype. 





Asus Fonepad runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. There are five customisable home screens that can be filled with app shortcuts and widgets.

The tablet comes preloaded with some apps including the Amazon Kindle app for e-books, App Backup to take backups of apps and their data, App Locker to password protect apps, Asus Story to create photo books, Asus Studio to browse, manage and edit pictures, Audio Wizard to select pre-defined sound playback modes, an app to block specific callers, BuddyBuzz to browse social networks like Twitter and Facebook, a File Manager app, MyBitCast for taking voice, image and text memos, MyLibrary Lite- another e-book reader app, MyPainter, Press Reader for reading newspapers, Sticky Memo, SuperNote Lite, To Do List and Zinio app for reading magazines. Unfortunately, it's not possible to delete any of these bundled apps.

Asus also offers 5GB of additional data storage space on its servers via its WebStorage service through which one can collaborate and sync documents, photos and videos across devices.




The tablet is powered by a 1.2GHz Intel Atom Z2420 processor, coupled with 1GB RAM and a PowerVR SGX540 GPU. The tablet performs decently when it comes to doing routine tasks. It offers 8GB of internal storage which is expandable to 32GB via microSD card. However, out of the 8GB memory we were able to only access 4.39GB.


At a price of Rs. 15,999, the Fonepad is a great option to buy.
