ASUS Fonepad Android Tab 7 inch user review

We have found three people prepared extensively to test the ASUS Fonepad here is tested in the first part how the ASUS Fonepad functions as smartphone and tablet replacement. In the second part, each has its own specific mission inherited. Read the experiences.

1. as a father (future?) You surely want to capture all the beautiful moment, how does it work with the Fonepad?

Hereby I had as a young father discuss how the Fonepad complies with regard to the camera, the screen and the ASUS software. I've looked, but I also want to use to get a superfan.

Dropbox filled with all the pictures of the newborn boy. The most beautiful photos made available online through vvan 'folder sync. A few minutes clicking ASUS Story app to create a slick photo album and we were ready to go. Grandparents for the first visit

The ASUS Story app works really well. You can quickly create a photo album by ticking in different folders the photos. After you have the choice to show it. Every 1, 2, 3, 4 or any other number using swipe as you go through all the photos to show them. This is very intuitive and has the advantage that you do not have to watch as someone else browsing your gallery go if he does not end up in other pictures. I have so different 'albums' made for different 'groups', family, friends, and colleagues.

When grandparents were first viewed the small and then had the Fonepad was to go. Grandma had him quickly and was about to click to find the pictures of the little man. On appointment, the story app open and then they hit themselves on the "family" button. Together with grandpa she began to take all the photos by and found everything just as beautiful. Eventually the opinion that we had a cloud of a son and that he's already doing great and is photogenic.

The Fonepad remained in the hands of grandma and I let her have her way. After just half an hour sweet and had not looked at or they got up and started the little man all the way to photograph and made short movies with Fonepad. She sat back and let me see a little later proudly made a new album in the story-app. And she went on again. Grandpa sat with the little guy to play and grandmother sat in the Fonepad, cozy about visiting your parents where you have to get the coffee yourself!

The judgment of grandmother was that she no longer wanted to give the Fonepad and that I should make sure that every day new pictures came, she would record. Myself in the correct album I was stunned and thought, but then maybe I could bridge a generation gap here and my parents the digital age I could draw more. After I removed the SIM card out (and its there) we are back on home made and even before we got home I got a whatsapp of my mother! It turned out my brother with the text: "What have you done! Is fond of all your photos. Your brother '.

A week later they came to visit us and had the grandmother Fonepad with him. I asked how it went along and she was very proud of her 'tablet'. I had to watch all the new album. She indicated that the camera was not too good, but worked fine for nice pictures. The screen she found in bright indoor use, but with a short demo of the 'outdoor' button and the automatic brightness across the screen, she was also very satisfied. And they said you could tell that this was a top high-definition screen!

In short I lost my Fonepad to my mother and who has the Fonepad always around her grandson, and now also countless other things, to let everyone see in her handbag through the ASUS Story app. She loves the camera and the screen moderately great.

Thanks for letting us use the ASUS Fonepad!
2. What are your experiences with the Fonepad during lectures, study and relax?
My second assignment with the Asus Fonepad is about my eraringen with the unit during lectures, study and relaxes. For this assignment I have my Asus Transformer TF300 one week replaced by Fonepad.

During lectures
during lessons I used mainly made of the PDF reader and the included Super Note app. Courses that were available in PDF on the Fonepad I could follow as during class without that much to thick stack of paper. Besides I used Super Note for my notes, with it you can make written notes or drawings with ordinary typed notes. To have turn out to be there. Many benefits after one week Fonepad in class You make your notes and with an app like Dropbox, these readily available on all your other devices and you can also easily share them with others.

Study
Course, these lessons also studied and also there is the Fonepad a useful addition, you have all your courses, notes and other documents at your fingertips.

Relax
besides the study is definitely needed relaxation and this can very well with the Fonepad. Watch movies, play games, internet, all go very well on this tablet. Through its HD screen he gives the films very good and sharp again, and the 7 inch screen is then the ideal size to keep games in hand. For heavier games is the Fonepad then again not really fit the single-core Intel chip.
 
Conclusion
after having a week the ASUS Fonepad used during lessons are my experiences with the device very well. The included apps are very useful during lessons and study right is therefore also a very good device for relaxation. The 7-inch size is also convenient to take anywhere and the small folding tables in the auditorium.

3. How does Fonepad in your profession? He can take a beating?
Way as the truck driver is Fonepad pleased me very well. Have a navigation app installed and am really impressed with the GPS! High-speed connections (except in tunnels) never disappeared; I can not beat my Note2 absolutely! Fine format anyway, the 7-inch screen navigation system!

It is monotonous but also the 3G connections were very good, the usual way-opened apps quickly and easily. The connection with the, in my truck, Bluetooth radio went so smoothly hands free mode was no problem. Since my employer hires technical installations to customers throughout the country, it is also my job to spot. Damages, defects and problems related to note and pass to be repaired. The 3 megapixel camera conforms well before, and what a relief to turn to the relevant departments! These emails using the much larger 7 inch screen

Asus tablet TF300 is updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

About four weeks after the confirmation of the arrival of Android 4.1 ‘Jelly Bean' for the second generation ASUS Transformer tablet seems this weekend has already started with the actual deployment of the update. Almost immediately after the company on his Facebook page posted a teaser, appeared on various forums the first reports of receipt.

At first glance the Jelly Bean update, such as the latest flavor of Google's mobile operating system goes through life; just apply for the ASUS Transformer Pad TF300. This Tegra 3 tablet seems to become the first non-Google device that through official channels to update is to Android 4.1. Until now, the update because only available for the Nexus 7 tablet and Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S smartphone, ie, only devices in cooperation with Google and Samsung respectively ASUS has made.

That ASUS is the first manufacturer who Jelly bean updates rolls out, is probably not a coincidence. The group is indeed largely responsible for the production of the Nexus 7 and has thus been possible to gain some experience. The competition is also not quiet because including Samsung and HTC have already announced updates to receive current devices like the Galaxy S3 and One X. Reportedly will not be long in coming.

New Android 4.1 Jelly Bean includes Google Now, a clever service that results from various Google services combine your personalized information to offer. Under the guise of Project Butter is also quite tinkering under the hood, so your phone with Jellybean a significantly faster response to offer and the operating system in general smoother working.

ASUS Nexus 7 Review: Tablet with Android Jelly bean

The fans of Android tablets, there are probably quite a while to wait: the Nexus 7 from ASUS and Google, the first Android tablet with the new operating system Jelly bean (Android 4.1). We got to work with the Nexus 7 to see how the new tablet rid of it brings.

With the Nexus 7 differs from the ASUS own course when it comes to Android tablets. This is an 'ordinary' tablet, so without a dock. Furthermore, it is a model with a diameter of 7 inches, a format that is ASUS still has not previously been produced. ASUS tablet has not only created, but has done with Google itself. Hence, on the back both the name of the manufacturer (ASUS) and Google typing Nexus is found. About a month ago at Google I / O was the first tablet by Google officially shown to the outside world. The name "Nexus" means that we are dealing with the first tablet version of this line, which also includes the Nexus S smartphone and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Google seems the Nexus lines have devised new operating systems on a partially controlled by them communicated to the public to imagine. Where the Nexus S was the first smartphone that Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) operating system, was the first Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). For the launch of version 4.1 of Android, also known as Jellybean, Google has not opted for a smartphone, but for a tablet. Jelly Bean is also now no longer exclusively seen on the Nexus 7. Other devices have already received the update. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the Motorola Xoom hear traditional with the devices soon be equipped with a new operating system and that the update is already available for.

It is now clear that the ASUS tablet from September will sell. In contrast to U.S., it will only be in the Netherlands, the 16GB-model to be made and will thus be omitted of the model with 8 GB of internal storage. The price for the 16GB model that ASUS in the European market will bring is not officially announced, but if we have the dollar sign at the American price replaced by a dollar sign, where it often just comes down to, we arrive at a price of 250 euros. All this for a 7-inch tablet with IPS panel, quad-core Tegra 3 (T30L) and the latest operating system (Jelly Bean). That sounds excellent and we look like something better.

Android Tablet: Asus Transformer Pad TF300T Review

With the Transformer Pad TF300T Asus launched a slightly stripped down version of the Transformers Prime. The new tablet docking station can also be converted to using a netbook. These are, however, are not always included and must be purchased under these circumstances. The pad with the names of models and TF300TG TF300TL also support 3G LTE, respectively, so the road can be accessed via the mobile network to the Internet. This brauchts however, a SIM card mobile phone subscription. All units get updated very often in gray; blue or red

saves the manufacturer on the back of the unit, which consists not of metal but of plastic. The RAM is handsome with 1 GB of memory is 32 GB. About the Micro-SD slot storage capacity can be expanded easily.

Asus Android operating system has installed 4.0.3. The operation is intuitive and most liquid. No wonder: After all potters in the Tablet, a four-core processor on Tegra-3-base with 1.2 GHz clock frequency. Its strength is also reflected in the performance measurements. In 2012 productivity test Smart Bench achieved the unit good 3388 points in the game benchmarks, it was 2317th Thus, and the tablet is only marginally slower than the bigger brother. A little annoying: When scrolling in the browser, it comes in spite of the computing power to one or the other jerks. In addition, the Android system is one drawback: The selection of tablet-optimized apps, unlike Apple's iPad lean. Thus, for example, Swiss newspapers and magazines rarely available.

The battery life is in normal operation a little over 8 hours. That's all right. Another 5 hours to bring the docking station. The bright, 10.1-inch wide display has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels; the viewing angle is very large. Negative but falls on the susceptibility to fingerprints.

The 8-Megapixel camera takes good photos - thanks to the large focal length. Since a flash is missing, can take pictures in low light conditions, but no usable photos.

Conclusion: Despite the low price, the Asus Transformer Pad TF300T powerful and well equipped. With the optional docking station, the tablet is also suitable for typing long texts. Too bad the selection of Tablet Apps is meager.

ASUS Eee Pad Slider: Android 4.0 Update

Well, it focused on the Transformers series and placed on top of all PadFone first, but so does the Eee Pad Slider a very interesting product from ASUS, which has been available since the 2011th fall. It is shipped with the Android 3.x Honeycomb, but is now offered in the U.S. to upgrade to the “Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich ".

The latest version of the "Android operating system" to "Android 3.0" and connects smartphone version, and Malthus provides a surface that supports the same tablet and smartphone. In terms of design done for "Version 4.0" wide measures, such as by introducing the letter, the new cool, and an increase in the main menu.

Of course, the update in the coming weeks will be launched around the world, but still I think that ASUS has sold several units. Apparently, slider-type but not go well and quiet traditional customers prefer to buy a regular tablet. But I personally know that such devices are the future of the transformer. Would not it be very useful for sometime can all make a great device, made of many components with the search for a smartphone can be removed easily.
