Consumers' pursuit of large screens has led many manufacturers to launch targeted products. With the closeness of the screen size between mobile phones and tablets, tablet phones have become a new category. How to integrate the call function of mobile phone with the video entertainment of tablet is a question for many manufacturers. Asustek Fonepad 7 is such a tablet phone. Before detailed evaluation, check out the pictures.
Fonepad 7 continues ASUS's consistent style in packaging design, and displays important information simply and clearly.
There are corresponding marks on both sides of the package, which respectively represent that Fonepad 7 has four color choices and Intel processors used by Fonepad 7. In other words, the cooperation between ASUS and Intel is quite deep. Looking back at the recent products, the popular Zenfone smartphone series under ASUS is equipped with Intel processors. It seems that in addition to the interaction in the PC industry, the cooperation on smart phone tablets will also be quite profound.
On the back is a relatively simple configuration introduction. Fonepad 7 uses 1.3GHz Intel processors. It seems that the frequency of this processor is not interesting, but it can not be so simple to look at Intel processors. We will leave the details to the evaluation. Other configurations include 1G RAM and 8G ROM.
There is not much to say about accessories, but the manual, charger and data cable are still the main parts.
As a tablet phone, the biggest special feature of Fonepad 7 is that it has a 7-inch screen and supports voice calls. I can't understand the positioning of the tablet phone before, but for many people, it's really uncomfortable to carry a mobile phone and a tablet when going out, and whether the two in one product can buy a better use experience must be the most direct question.
In fact, the definition of tablet phone is still relatively obvious, basically within 6~8 inches. This screen size will have more visual space and provide better video entertainment than mobile phones, while it is much smaller and lighter than tablets.
Fonepad 7 has one speaker at the top and bottom of the screen, which can provide a better audio experience. Due to the characteristics of the tablet phone, the forehead and chin of the Fonepad 7 are not too exaggerated, which is very helpful for holding hands horizontally.
The headphone connector and mirco USB connector located on the top and bottom respectively.
The left and right sides of Fonepad 7 are respectively designed with corresponding keys and card slots, and the border transition is very round, which can significantly improve the feel.

For a tablet phone, it must be an extravagant hope to operate it with one hand, but it must be satisfied to hold it with one hand. Although the 7-inch screen is used, the Fonepad 7 is still comfortable when held in one hand. With its rounded corners and relatively thin body weight, it will not be easy to fatigue after being held for a long time, and it is even easier to hold the Fonepad 7 in two hands.
Fonepad 7 is positioned as an entry-level, 1280 * 800 7-inch screen, 1.3GHz processor and 1G RAM. The hardware configuration is just enough. Of course, consumers who choose tablet phones mainly focus on the excellence of video playback and large screen operation. Fonepad 7 also has a certain tendency in appearance design, such as the front dual speakers and the easy to hold frame.
In terms of connotation, Fonepad 7 uses Asustek's own ZenUI. Its simple interface and functions are better when used on tablet phones. What's more, the 64 bit Intel processor it uses is designed specifically for tablet devices, which can provide good endurance performance. What's the actual performance of Fonepad 7? Of course, we are waiting for evaluation.
