ASUS Fonepad First Look and Hands On

2013-02-26
it's android authority we're here live in barcelona and Mobile World Congress were just sending outside of Asus nice little booth they've had critical fufill today and they have not allowed us to enter the booth where we will get inside either way I was able to snap one of these away from one of the public relations people out of France so this is actually a European specific model so it doesn't actually have the rear 3-megapixel but everything else is the same what we're looking at here is an intel-powered 1.2 gigahertz is to z2420 great obviously by Intel the performance seems to be quite robust on the rear here we have a micro USB and a headphone jack it has a really nice sort of aluminium brushed aluminum finish and on the top here what we're looking at actually I can get it off as you will see is that has dedica neck tivity now this is basically the nexus 7 or the memo pad as some of you might be familiar with the 370 that we saw not Lassie s with the CES before that never got released has a micro-sim and microSD and obviously all the various other components that make it tick and worm so for all intents and purposes it is the same form factor as the nexus 7 now the performance needs to be really quite good even though it is powered by Intel and has clocked at a much lower frequency we had a problem running tempo run on the front we're looking at one point to make a pixel camera as well now we've been told internationally that we're going to be looking at around an April release date that's what Johnny Shea the CEO of ASA said the PR person of the France hasn't been able to confirm that they have doubts so it's likely that it will go on sale later no word on North American release yet but you will be able to buy it internationally and it will work with hspa+ radios so for those of you that like straight talk or ATT even t-mobile it will be able to work but what makes it interesting obviously is that it represents asus is first form factor of this size that is powered by Intel alright so this is just the foam pad we're here at Barcelona for Mobile World Congress just outside s is booth my name is Darcy la cuvee we're here with Android 30 let us know what you think of this guys thanks for watching
