everybody Michael Fisher with pocket now at mwc 2013 still at the issues both and we couldn't help but stick around for one more video featuring the newest fonepad this time comparing it with the also is who spilled Nexus 7 let's take a look so just taking a look at the hardware here real quick you can definitely tell these devices were built by the same manufacturer the same design language is in effect here including the very comparable thickness and these kind of scalloped sides as we get toward the edges of the devices big difference of course is in the finish with the rubbery soft touch on the back of the Nexus 7 feeling a bit more durable than the metal here on the phone pad this is a titanium gold by the way else Zack I always do that this is champagne gold by the way o is also available in titanium grey but also before we leave the back of the device we can see that in addition the asuste branding Intel Inside is called out here and this is a processor difference we should call out the nexus 7 powered by a Tegra 3 whereas the S whose phone pad is powered by an Intel Atom z2420 clocked at 1.2 gig go ahead and flip these around you'll notice the volume and the power standby keys are not on the same side on these devices we also have a removable panel up here on the phone pad where the micro-sim and microSD card slot live not in evidence obviously on the Nexus 7 which does not feature expandable memory coming around to the front go ahead and unlock the device these devices are both running Android jelly bean but one of them namely the Nexus 7 is running the latest version at 4.2 because it is a Nexus device the phone have had the phone pad running the earlier for dot one dot 2 probably but not definitely because of the asuste customization layer here also you obviously you can notice that and the notification shade and in other areas like the keyboard if you go ahead and hop into the messaging application you can go tap away and you can see that keyboard is very very different experience than something like the stock keyboard right there and of course the most prominent difference the earpiece to the left of the 1.2 megapixel camera for the front facing side which these units share the is whose phone pad has the ear piece of top so you can use it to take calls at your head if you're into that kind of thing otherwise as I say these panels are identical 1280 x 800 many other specs are the same and let's not forget these do come from the same manufacturer so that shouldn't surprise us but so it's all going to come down to whether you want a stock google experience or you want the customization layer with the earpiece of course an expandable memory among a few other details just a quick look Michael Fisher hear of a pocket now that's Tony behind the camera looking at the asuste products here at mwc 2013 this isn't the end of them stay tuned for a lot more you
