Asus Fonepad: Review

The new Fonepad comes with SIM calling; but is it worth it spending Rs 15,000 on a single core processor handset?

Long battery life Good camera Decent performance

Slippery back panel Too slow for gaming

Asus Fonepad review

Asus flexes its hybrid muscle once again with a 7-inch tablet that makes calls

Great LED-backlit screen ; microSD storage ; Premium metal chassis ; Good battery life

No rear camera ; Poor speakers ; Nexus 7 cheaper ; Impractical for calls

As a smartphone, its use is negligible. But as a tablet, the Asus FonePad shines just as brightly as its Google-branded cousin, and while the small-tablet market is crowded the FonePad stands out. It's well made and offers a good selection of features...

Asus FonePad Review

The FonePad goes head-on against the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Can it prove to be a better offering?

The Asus FonePad is priced at Rs 15,999 for the 8GB version, which is a pretty good deal. We would even go as far as saying the FonePad offers more value for money than the similarly-priced . Apart from not receiving updates instantly and the lack of a...

It'll suit few people as a smartphone, but the FonePad excels as a 3G tablet

Asus FonePad Review

Asus FonePad Review gives detail information on the latest tablet PC. This new tab comes with impressive features and includes high end tech specs.

• Good build quality ; • Decent screen display ; • 3G connectivity ; • Voice calling ; • Excellent battery life

• Bit heavy ; • Poor camera quality ; • Prone to fingerprints

If you have tried Google Nexus 7, then you are sure to love FonePad too. The latest tab from Asus comes with 3G connectivity and offers voice calling facility as well. And yes, it costs less than Nexus 7, making it a good deal for mid-income consumers....

Asus Fonepad review

We try to find out if the Asus Fonepad is a compelling buy in a market full of different options.

Decent build Good battery backup Voice calling

Camera is underwhelming Performance could have been better Screen is prone to smudges

The Asus Fonepad is a good tablet that also offers voice functionality. If you're looking for a device that lets you read books, browse the web, watch some videos, click casual shots and make occasional voice calls, look no further.

Asus FonePad review

The Asus FonePad is a curious device. It's a 7-inch tablet, much like the Nexus 7 Asus made for Google as a standalone tablet, but this slate can also make calls and use 3G.

Excellent build quality, Useful 3G connectivity, Good storage, Reasonable performance overall

Serious Wi-Fi problems, Some performance hiccups, Display shininess

A really fantastic budget tablet offering let down by a few key problems
