I had my Asus Fonepad 7 ME372CG after almost 1.5 years replaced by larger Fonepad 8. Fonepad 7 was actually OK, but with some stuttering at the elaborate applications. Here I was hoping for improvements. At first I even on Merchant's website written top rating, but the first impression is deceptive very often. Here are a few negative points. So the first impression: I have a very well-made instrument, got with Top Performance. Fonepad 8 looks very classy and has, despite only 1GB RAM, reaches approximately 33,500 Antutu benchmark, this is much better than, say, from my smartphone Samsung Galaxy S4, which still plays from her price in any other league and hardware is better equipped , Everything went smoother than its predecessor. Seen: buy recommendation. After 8 days not particularly heavy use, the disappointment came. Someone has already mentioned that the dust particles come under Display, this I can also confirm. At least 2 large grains were there (if so purchased or got later, I can not say). If you realize this once, she later sting repeatedly in the eye, especially when white background. I had good cover but not lie rather in it. From my perspective, dust comes from the slot area where the SIM cards and memory cards. Barely acceptable for price 199EUR, this is middle class. Furthermore, every now and then I saw as current location, San Jose (Costa Rica). No matter what I did, found via GPS again my town, San Jose cleared later the same thing came into existence and so I had suddenly on 30 March 30 ° C ambient temperature at Tab, very nice! The cameras are something that no one would use, even if one speaks of snapshots. The front camera is, in my view, absolutely useless, even for Skype & CO. In previous Fonepad 7 ME372CG 5MP main camera and front camera about 1,2MP were very reasonable. Another thing progresses: some apps could not be installed, were not compatible, for example, the easiest thing App of the mail order company Otto.de would not install. Next: If you close an elaborate application, you get then zurst only nakten background to see the apps icons and widgets appear then after a delay, which is annoying. Then again, compared to its predecessor: 8GB, 16GB instead of internal memory, which can be used 4GB. These were quickly. While you can move a lot of apps to microSD but on restart before they appear, you need probably forever. My conclusion: I should keep old Fonepad 7, was definitely more robust. Everything I've described above, you therefore can certainly cope, 3 stars, the device is useful nevertheless. Of course there are not so many alternatives of Art (phablets), but the older Fonepad 7 ME372CG is recommended, in my view, there is also the LTE variant neure.
