Apart from the Asus FonePad 7, Asus launched two more bigger display tablets at IFA, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. The MeMo Pad 8 and MeMo Pad 10 are both HD display resolution tablets and feature and run on Android 4.2 Jelly bean Operating system.
MeMO Pad 8 is an 8 inch tablet with 1280 x 800 pixels HD resolution. The pixel density in this tab will be around 189 ppi which is also fairly good in a tablet as the viewing distance is also more compared to a smartphone.
The processor is 1.6 GHz Quad core processor assisted by 1 GB RAM and 8GB of Internal storage memory. The internal storage memory can be further extended using a microSD card. The primary camera in this device is similar MP Count as Asus FonePad 7 at 5 MP(720 p video recording). A secondary camera of 1.2 MP is also present for video calling. The battery capacity is 3950 mAh which is pretty good and according to Asus carries enough juices to last 7 Hrs of HD play back. This Tablet will compete with tablets like recently launched XOLO TAB in India.
MeMO Pad 10 comes with 10 Inch IPS LCD display with similar 1280 X 800 Pixel resolution. The chipset specifications remain same as MeMO Pad 8. This tablet is powered by a 1.6 GHz Quad core processor and the RAM capacity is 1 GB. However, two internal storage variants of 8 GB and 16 GB will be available. The internal memory is further extendable to 32 GB using a microSD card.
The primary camera has been reduced to 2 MP(720p Video recording) which makes sense as larger the size lesser you are going to use the device for clicking pics. Front camera is again of 1.2 MP for Video calling. The battery capacity of 5070 mAh will be taxed by a bigger display and will give you similar back up of 9.5 HRs of HD video playback which is again above average.
The MemoPad 8 comes with an E compass for navigation and MemoPad 10 comes with AGPS with GLONASS, but is not equipped with a proximity sensor. Though ASUS has decided to remain tight lipped on Pricing and availability yet again, we expect these tabs to be competitively priced. We will update you with the price and availability information as soon as it surfaces.
