The 2014 range of ZenFones made use of the Intel Atom Z2xx-series processors. This range has now been updated and it is the new Moorefield CPUs that are used in the new range of ZenPads. This particular ZenPad S 8.0 uses the mid-range Z3560 CPU at 1.8GHz, with 2GB RAM.
To start with real world usage, then. It is hard to overemphasise just how fast the ZenPad S 8.0 is for everyday usage. Apps open very rapidly, and home page animations are buttery smooth. You will not notice any keyboard lag – the overall experience of using this tablet is exceptionally pleasing.
The benchmark scores do not reflect the everyday performance quite as well as they should, but they are a still impressive. In Geekbench 3, the ZenPad S 8.0 scored 764 for single-core performance and 2293 for its multi-core performance. This is far superior to the Vodafone Tab Prime 6, powered by a Snapdragon 410, which scored 473 and 1425 respectively.
In Ice Storm Unlimited, however, it delivered a huge score of 19631. This is miles ahead of the 4308 scored by the Smart Prime 6. As the ZenPad S 8.0 is not LTE-enabled I cannot post a data speed result.
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…
