Feb 11 2014 By Rahul GuptaThe Asus Fonepad comes with a price tag of Rs 17,999, but is available in the market at Rs 13,000 approximately. As a tablet, it`s speedy, responsive, and good for gaming as well. As a smartphone, it offers 3G connectivity and calling facility. All this makes it a great hybrid device that, as we have mentioned earlier, offers performance comparable to smartphones within the same price range. Having said so, the major competition to the Asus Fonepad comes from the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 T211 which currently retails for Rs 15,000 approximately. At that price the Tab 3 offers inferior hardware specifications which would result in lower performance as compared to the Fonepad. Notwithstanding the better hardware, the Fonepad is tad too plasticky. The tablet certainly lacks the premium appeal especially considering its MRP. All in all, the Fonepad offers up to a day and a half worth of battery backup between recharges, thanks to its 3,950mAh li-polymer pack. If you`re indulging in resource-intensive activities like gaming the backup is reduced to about 4-5 hours, which is not too bad considering the amount of additional load games put on the device’s battery. Ultimately, if you`re looking for a capable tablet with voice calling capabilities, the Asus Fonepad 7 is definitely a strong contender.
Read Full ReviewA friend of mine bought this tablet in January. I asked him about the review of this product. He said "If the product works fine, it's a good purchase but if it fails, you'll be tortured by ASUS service centre in getting it back to normal state ". The basic problem was that the motherboard had going bad completely within two months of purchase. When asked for repairing at service centre, they quoted the price much higher(Rs 18k) than the cost of the product(Rs 15k). It was surprising to understand how a motherboard can cost higher than the product.nI would recommend you to not buy this product as I did not buy it too after this suggestion.nnAlso, Flipkart deleted review of one of the reviewer and my friend Gaurav. He was sent an email by flipkart to remove his review and when he did not remove it, flipkart deleted the deview.nAs his review was against ASUS and its product which might be decreasing the sales, they prefer to keep user preference and customer satisfaction below their sales. Never expected this from flipkart.
Friends, I have been referring about the best tab to buy around 20k for over a month. I have considered Samsung TAB 3, NVIDIA TEGRA TAB, NEXUS 7 2013 and Fonepad 7.nnFonepad 7 is by faaar the best tab ever made in the mid range. It outlives the hype made about Nexus and Tab 3.nnProsn+The phone features are as good as a normal smart phone, and tab is better than a non-phone tab. So, you get twice for the same moneyn+ Finish is top class. (though build quality can be improved)n+You get to choose 3G or Wifi for net, which makes it convenientn+Intel performs better than Snapdragon in every possible way.n+Music quality is awesome(though it is not loud enough for indian taste). You can hear every minute detail in the musicn+Asus mini apps are a new dimension to androidn+Flipkart service is too goodnnConsn+A bit heavy to holdn+Glossy screen is bad(buy a matt finish screen guard)n+No flash in camerannBottomline:nAll Nexus lovers and Tegratab lovers, FonePad 7 is by far my product of the year...Go for it.. Il give it 4.5/5
