Asus ZenPad S 8.0 Specifications & Reviews

Asus ZenPad S 8.0

 the company has recently launched an 8 inch Android running tablet called ZenPad S 8.0. In addition to ZenPad S 8.0, the Taiwanese tech firm has launch two different tablet variants, which will be available in the 7 and 10.1 inch screen sizes.

ZenPad S 8.0 only possesses a thickness of 6.6 mm and its screen size renders a resolution of 2,048 by 1,536 pixels, making the product effectively radiate the same number of pixels as Apple's iPad Mini. The internal specifications of ZenPad S 8.0 are thoroughly impressive and users will find that performance is no stranger to Asus' large screen offering. The slate is assimilated with Intel's Atom Z3580 SoC, which is running a quad-core processor that is compatible with the 64 bit architecture.

Similar to its lineup of Zenfone 2, ZenPad S 8.0 features 4 GB of RAM, which should provide sufficient headroom for multitasking options or taxing mobile gaming applications. Due to its large screen size, the tablet can also be converted into a laptop substitute, although the Android Lollipop platform will hinder the efficiency of users since it is not as refined as the desktop version of Microsoft Windows.

Sound quality of ZenPad S 8.0 is expected to be top-notch. The front facing speakers will have their quality improved thanks to enhanced DTS for virtual surround sound action. Asus has made the tablet compatible with a stylus, but did not bundle one with the product's packaging. However, consumers who want to start using a stylus will have to make sure that they purchase the optional Z Stylus, since Asus has not yet confirmed if styluses belonging to other companies will be compatible with the slate
