In 2013, Asus manufactured the critically acclaimed Google Nexus 7. After a quiet period on the tablet front, Asus are back with a new range of ZenPads – and today we look at the ZenPad S 8.0. The 8.0 obviously refers to an 8-inch display, so this tablet is only slightly larger than the iPad Mini.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the ZenPad S 8.0 is that its display features a 4:3 aspect ratio – just like the iPad range. Typically, Android tablets have widescreen displays, but since the launch of the Google Nexus 9 last year, the 4:3 aspect ratio is steadily becoming more popular.

Where is the review? This is just the specs, and a video in which you list the specs again.
How does it feel, build quality. Is it powerful / laggy / normal, performance. Is the screen IPS or regular. Sound quality from speakers. Camera examples. Ports and expansion.
Give us the pros and cons
Then round it off with a bit about how the overall adds up to a device you love/hate.
why is nobody testing the z stylus? ugh
I was back in the market for shopping for a tablet as the one I just recently bought into (Lenovo) decided it needed a broken LCD by barely applying pressure to the screen (it was in my cargo pocket, screen facing my leg….and I leaned forward and it applied enough pressure to crack the glass and turn the LCD into all sorts of colors). So after TONS of research and reviews (ie, http://pocinc.net/blog/product-reviews/review-asus-zenpad-s-8-0-tablet ), I decided to give this one (ASUS) a chance. So far I love it. The screen looks nicer (they claim it is 2K resolution, but it doesn’t look much better than any other awesome tablet…it just simply looks awesome lol but not 4K like the TVs). It’s faster than my other one, has more space than it + has a card slot for more space and hasn’t given me any troubles yet. Just needs better battery life that’s all. It’s enough to last you all day, but if you let it sit around not using it, it dies within a few days usually. Sometimes though it seems to last much longer. Really odd…
