what's going on Android friends this is Clayton young we're coming at you from the number one source for all things Android Android authority comm today we've got an in-depth review of the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF 700 T and this is basically a Souza's flagship model as of right now and it's starting to phase out the transformer primes which used to be their flagship model but this is an extremely spec heavy machine it's got great software great looks an impressive build quality so let's just check it out go ahead and lift the tablet up you can see we do have our 10.1 inch screen this is a LED backlit super IPS plus display coming in at a resolution of 1920 by 1200 it's also constructed from Gorilla Glass 2 which is very very durable on there's no give to the screen whatsoever it feels exceptional you can tap on it and it's a nice glass feel so any ways around this gorgeous display we've got a nice brushed aluminum exterior it's got a nice a circular pattern going out from the Asus logo there it looks extremely great it's great build quality there's no give to the back of the aluminum either you can't really press your fingers into it it's just very very solid we've got an 8 megapixel camera right here we've also got flash which differentiates this from the other Asus tablets that could be somewhat similar got a small microphone there as well the top we have our volume rocker this is placed differently than the Asus TF 300 T for example which is on the side they place this in a more usable area so you can actually get the best use out of the volume rocker also got our power button right here on the side here we've got our mini HDMI our 3.5 millimeter headphone jack which also has microphone in then we've got our little mini SD slot and then on this side we just have a small mic and we have our thing it is a 16 pin connector on the bottom here and then our two little log connectors for the mobile dock and we also have the mobile dock on deck will show you us some of that but anyways let's just start this bad boy up go ahead and go into the lock screen as you can see some of you might recognize this is running Android 4.0.3 currently so it's Ice Cream Sandwich we'll go ahead and unlock it this is running the asus wave share UI over the Ice Cream Sandwich operating system but the wave share UI usually sticks true to the AOSP Android and it's not to true Civ it's not too gaudy there's not really much theming done just some different soft keys down here and then a different menu in the status bar so if we go ahead and open up our settings you can see that it is very very basic a OSP android we have all our usual settings for Ice Cream Sandwich our Wi-Fi Bluetooth data usage and then under more settings we have airplane mode VPN and then we can attend the mobile hotspot and set up peer-to-peer connectivity no server sound options or display options now the display options are pretty much basic from the main settings menu here where you really get into them is right here on the status bar where we can select the IPS plus mode where it brightens the screen drastically it has 600 nits of brightness you can view that outside for outdoor readability and stuff like that and also enable the auto brightness which dims the screen incredibly and saves a lot of the battery now you're going to be getting close to 10 hours of battery life with the actual tablet and then an added 5 hours with the included mobile dock which has a battery built in but anyways we'll just keep going through here we have our asus customized settings where we can enable the super IPS mode choose which key actually takes a screenshot on the device we have our system performance mode which can also be accessed from right here we have our power saver our balance in our performance mode now the performance mode is going to really push the Tegra 3 in this device this is a quad-core device running at 1.6 gigahertz that's the highest clocked Tegra device or a processor I mean from the factory without overclocking or rooting your device in any ways we've also got one gigabyte of ddr3 RAM in this bad boy push in the apps and hum and right alongside the Tegra 3 to give you the best performance possible we also have our touchpad in our pointer behavior which is in conjunction with the small mobile dock now we'll go through we have our accounts in sync we can set up our google accounts and we can use the asus sync feature anyways under developer of course we can enable the USB debugging and also the forced GPU rendering with 2d hardware acceleration native to Ice Cream Sandwich under about tablet you see we do have our Android 4.0.3 we have the model number the usual information that comes with the Asus tablets and the Ice Cream Sandwich operating system nice little Easter Egg and stuff I mean the tablet just looks awesome when displaying anything such as HD movies or gaming or anything that uses the IPS display so anyways I just give you a basic look at this wave share UI it's really nice we have our app tray here all of our different apps we come preloaded with the app backup the app Locker we have the Asus vibe application this also comes with Polaris Office for a great mobility of especially compared I mean in conjunction with the mobile dock you get great workspace we also have the my net the my cloud with free a su storage we have a press reader and then we have the Zinio we have a lot of cool native widgets such as the asus battery widget email the task manager the my zine is great it's a nice aggregator for social media and then a weather and stuff like that we do have the asus weather we'll go through we have our usual Ice Cream Sandwich bookmarks here nothing too special about those we'll go ahead and add a widget just to show you what it's like go to our task manager and set that here now we have all of our processes that are running and we can one-click clean wipe them all free our RAM and now with our free RAM we'll go ahead and run a quadrant test to show you exactly how fast this beautiful machine is now mind you we can also kill our recent apps from the reasons just like that swipe them all away and now we don't have anything running you have a full optimization of power for the quadrant test we'll go ahead and run that right now we have the results of our benchmark test here go ahead and send our results flip it up this way so we can get a look now our device came in at 30 802 which actually came under the transformer prime for some reason unbeknownst to me this is clocked faster it has the ddr3 RAM and I wasn't running any applications but you know these aren't always the most incredibly accurate things we can go ahead and run another some other time let's see what our bottleneck was we have our CPU clocked at one o'clock but it's our CPU came in at 7500 18 just fairly good we our memory came in at 3987 our IO at 4367 2d was very very low at 654 and then our 3d was 2485 but this is still a great fast machine it does stand up to the HTC One X and a transformer prime as you can see which both have the Tegra 3 this does have the fastest clock and you can route this device at overclock of course you know us we're gonna make a video showing you guys how exactly to do that and how to route you know all that stuff custom roms anyways back into the device let's test out the camera our 8 megapixel camera has a 5 lens filter it has a great aperture so let's go ahead and do some test shots I'll set my Galaxy Nexus right here and you can see if we can't get some nice photos of that and I'll just go ahead you can touch the focus and we'll snap our pic not the fastest shutter but it's not very slow at all we can go ahead and press it a few times doesn't have the instant shutter that like the Galaxy Nexus per se does videos will go through our camera options here we have our auto flash options our white balance options usual Ice Cream Sandwich our exposure options the different scenes now wait we'll go back we have our camera menu right here we have our store location or aspect ratio we also have the picture size the focus mode where we can choose continuous autofocus or regular or infinity infinity is my favorite we have our ISO our anti flickering and we have our shutting a shutter sound on or off go ahead and go into our video records at full 1080p HD just do a nice sweep of the Galaxy Nexus like this we'll go ahead and play that video give you a nice no demo of what the display actually looks like when it's running like this so it did look nice and I was actually impressed with the microphone quality that we just experienced there is a few different mics placed around the body and it does have the Asus sonic master audio technology so that's very nice I like the audio quality I was quite impressed anyways we'll go ahead and check out a browser test here we can restore our actually we won't restore and it'll take us to our Asus we were prompted to download the Flash Player we won't do that right now I will just show you the basic browser we have our usual ICS browser we can request a desktop site on all sites for app we have our bookmarks our new tab incognito tabs we can simply add a tab just like that the browser is really quick I have a pretty fast connection right now but the browser is very snappy we have our settings we can enable the labs for our quick controls and stuff like that you never advanced settings so it works really great for browsing document creating gaming watching videos taking videos and just having a great tablet well go ahead and check out a youtube video now to check out the HD of this device HD performance and go ahead and click our unboxing of this device now this is the actual device that I'm touching right now so it does look nice plays videos great we'll go ahead and go back I'll show you quickly the nice mobile dock now the mobile dock is constructed and matching in the same color as the infinity pad is we do have the little instructions here in the dock it's full QWERTY it has a touchpad and it also has a nice USB 2.0 slot right here and it has a microSD slot actually not micro but a regular full size SD card reader right there and on the back we just have our brushed aluminum looks really great has our nice four pads here so we don't scratch up the aluminum we have our nice strong hinge so we'll just insert our Asus tablet into the dock like that we have our nice little arrows to indicate where it's at we slide it in until we hear the click we have our nice little bar that can release the tablet when they have then we have audio confirmation that the tablet is indeed in the dock now I'll just go ahead we can just simply start typing we type too and read authority brought it up on the Google search just like that and then we can simply search for it or anything like that we have all of our quick controls on here we have the back we have our network functions Bluetooth we can disable the touchpad change the brightness almost just like a laptop model brightness and go to our camera that's actually the screen shot we can enter the web browser go to our settings just like that control our media we have all of our different controls we can get the menu just like that we can go home we can search our touchpads nice we've just got a nice little mouse and we can scroll around we also have our gesture control with the touchpad we can switch screens simply by using two finger slides like that actually we went to the wallpaper and slide with two fingers we can scroll up and down with two fingers in webpages and then two finger hold is the long press so anyways guys go ahead and check out this awesome TF 700 T it's a little steep in price but I really really love the tablet I think it's Asus best tablet yet and that's including the Nexus 7 I definitely enjoy this a lot it's great has great build quality looks sexy I'm gonna get a lot of compliments on the device it runs fast it's very powerful you can game you can create documents watch HD videos relax with the device and then it's very portable the clamshell design on the little mobile dock in the asus is even smaller and has a thinner profile than most of their other clamshell designs with tablets so go ahead and check it out guys we're also gonna have routing guys for this thing there's a lot of different rom reviews cool performance mods and stuff like that so stay tuned with hands are the 30.com and as always thanks for watching the video guys we really appreciate your views have a good one
