Asus Fonepad 7 Tablet (2013)

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.

Fonepad 7 is by faaar the best tab ever made in the mid range. It outlives the hype made about Nexus and Tab 3.

Pros
+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 money
+ Finish is top class. (though build quality can be improved)
+You get to choos...

I have purchased this from flipkart for my friend from another account. This is a very great tablet and the 1.6GHZ intel dual core processor is very powerful. As Asus is the same manufacturer of Nexus 7, this tablet has the same form factor of Nexus7.
One thing worth noticing is internal memory. I purchased 8 Gb version and only 4 Gb is user accessible. We can expand upto 64 gb microsd card. Still for installing applications internal memory is needed. So go for 16gb version.
PROS:
Beautiful ...

Bought this Fonepad outside of Flipkart as 8GB version wasn't available last week here.
Fonepad has quality finishing and 1.6 GHz Dual Core Intel Inside does wonders. Firmware updated to Jelly Bean 4.3 as soon as I started using it. Most of the games and apps so far I have tried are working breezing fast. Screen is highly reflective and looks same like Nexus 7(which I recently bought from flipkart). Mat screen guard will solve the problem but it is not available as of now. Both the Cameras a...

Using it for Past one month. Here are my findings:-

After 20 days of use tablet is heating abruptly, causing movies to stutter, freezing of touch screen, and restart disappointed as no service centres in patna. Asked flipkart to refund and let me opt for different tablet keeping my fingers crossed. If you are still interested read below

I was researching since two months for the Tab in which SIM can be inserted for internet communication,screen size 7 inches, screen resolution with 200+ PPI(pixels per inch), processor,RAM, GPU(Graphical processing unit), internal storage, dual cameras for video call and image/video capture(secondary and primary respectively), latest OS(Android OS), battery back up, form factor and price within 20K.

Well well well it was Asus FonePad 7

This is my personal review since 25th March 2014, I am ...

i am basically a PhD student..took it for reading document reading..though it is good..for reading 8' tablet is good in my opinion. other functionality is normal. but some times the screen is going off by its own in when working, like watching video etc..may be it is because of auto task killing apps...not very sure.

Build quality is good ....the SD slot is not covered or protected, card is visible and can be easily removed. WIFI signal receiving strength is good. Battery is average..cellula...

My fonepad touch screen is broken. While I contacted to the service center in Chennai, they are asking for Rs.8k to 9k. When I asked for the reason, they said that they will replace full panel. But I am sure that is not required, only the touch screen can be replaced.

Asus has to improve this part then only they can get a good market in India. For a Rs.17k product no body will accept 10k repairing cost for a touch screen. My Case No. registered with Asus is A140717734.
