Asus ZenPad S 8.0 Review

P_20150922_132050
The primary camera on the ZenPad S 8.0 is an 8MP unit, taking images at a native resolution of 3264×2448. There is also a 5MP secondary camera.

Before we get to actual camera quality, it is good to see a whole host of shooting modes included within the stock camera app. For instance, there is the usual HDR and low-light modes, along with ‘super resolution,' ‘depth of field,' and a time-lapse option to name just 3.

Anyway, the actual image quality is not bad for a tablet. Images appear very sharp at first glance, with good colours and contrast. Auto-exposure seems to be the biggest problem for the ZenPad S 8.0's camera – but even that is not awful.

Of course, 8MP is not a huge amount of detail by modern standards, but on a tablet it would be unreasonable to expect more. For the best photos I would still recommend using your smartphone, but the ZenPad S 8.0 will still take decent, sharp images.

  1. 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.

  2. why is nobody testing the z stylus? ugh

  3. 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…
