hi I'm DMR Blanco and this is the Asus memo pad hd7 the tablet offers a great variety of useful features customization options and baked in family friendly apps but suffers from lackluster performance the 7-inch tablet ships with Android jellybean 4.2 point one but Asus promises and over-the-air update for android 4.2 point 2 by its early August release it houses a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera a 5 megapixel rear camera microSD expansion slot micro USB port microphone pinhole and headphone jack even though it's also made by a sous its overall build isn't as comfortable as the original Nexus 7 the back panel which comes in a variety of colors slightly protrudes in a way that digs into your palms when holding it with both hands however the memo pad HD 7 s 1280 by 800 pixel resolution screen is just as sharp as the first Nexus 7 and outperforms it when it comes to color reproduction the tablet has a wide range of colors which results in more nuance details visible and images and videos in addition the tablet is preloaded with AC splendid which allows you to calibrate the screen to your liking another included app that optimizes the user experience is audio wizard the feature allows you to enhance specific types of audio but only works when you're using your speakers it's quite essential to getting the most out of your multimedia experience and the most notable setting is the movie mode it increases the volume of the speakers and lets you hear soundscape noises that would otherwise be too subtle to notice the audio wizard is easily accessible from the floating menu which is activated by pressing the button next to the back button on the Android navigation bar the floating menu and floating apps are an easy way to multitask and they help simulate a multi window experience it's a small window that pops up directly above the navigation bar and consists of a variety of apps that can function on top of whatever is currently on the screen instead of closing an app to open the browser change audio settings or calculate an equation you can easily use floating apps to perform those tasks without interrupting what you're doing unless you're using netflix most floating apps will stop Netflix from streaming video although youtube doesn't have this issue the tablet also comes with the power saver app that goes above and beyond most baked in battery saving features to ensure that you squeeze the most out of a low battery the downside to the memo pad HD 7 is its sluggish performance navigating between apps frequently results in lag switching orientations slow and the screen responsiveness is inconsistent the Asus memo pad HD 7 is chock-full of features that optimize your multimedia experience and it screens wide range of color is impressive for a small tablet at a bargain price of 149 but it's inexpensive build is evident with its mediocre performance and plastic design go to cnet com for the full review I'm xiomara Blanco and this has been the Asus memo pad 887
