can't decide between a phone or a tablet well as Zeus may have the perfect compromise I'm Andrew Hoyle for cnet and this is the Zeus fonepad 7 an Android phone with a whopping a 7 inch screen so we saw the first fonepad only in February and it hasn't really changed that much since then it's still absolutely enormous but it has a plastic rather than a metal back the 7-inch Green still has the same 1280 by 800 pixel resolution now that is still the same as before which is a shame we would like to see a full HD screen on something of this size it has 3g connectivity meaning that it does function exactly as any other phone would of course being so big you will look completely ridiculous holding it to your head asus has given it a bit of a power boost though it's still running on an atom chip this one's clocked at 1.6 gigahertz rather than the one point two gigahertz of the previous model how much difference that actually makes remains to be seen when we give it the full review treatment it turned on Android 4.2 point to jellybean but asus has also thrown in quite a lot of its own software in apps to as it hasn't yet said exactly how much risk models going to cuss but that it will be comparable to the existing model so given that this one has a plastic back and hasn't had a screen resolution increase I would hope it to be a little bit cheaper we'll find out more when it goes on sale towards the end of the year I'm Andrew Foyle for cnet and this is it is Zeus fonepad 7 you
