We wouldn't be surprised to hear that people are beginning to lose count of how many Fonepad models Asus has released. This is a product line that Asus has been pushing for a while now, attempting to solidify its position in the voice-calling tablet market. Although a lot of people laugh at the idea of using a 7-inch tablet as their primary phone, Asus evidently has enough reason to believe that it's a product category worth investing in.The new Asus Fonepad 7 (FE171CG) offers improved specs and features over previous versions of the device, including a better camera and more storage. It sticks to the 7-inch display and Intel Atom SoC, and retains the typical Asus tablet look and feel. Performance is of course important, but we are also eager to see whether the Rs. 10,999 price tag is justified by the inclusion of a few new features and hardware upgrades.
Asus Fonepad 7 (FE171CG) Summary
The Asus Fonepad 7 (FE171CG) sounds like a great device on paper, and fixes the many shortcomings of its predecessors. There is more storage, more RAM and a better camera in the FE171CG. However, real-world performance is poor, with the tablet unable to keep up with the simplest of tasks. The display is also poor, and the touchscreen regularly disregards taps. Consider this product only if you really want a 7-inch tablet that can make calls.
