The overall rating is based on review by our dedicated team and users.
Asus impresses with its slick new Zenpad S 8.0 Android tablet.
The device sports a stylish and premium design wrapped in metal and accented with leather.
It measures just 6.6mm thin with nicely trimmed bezels around the stunning 8-inch display.
The Zenpad’s screen steals the show with its crisp 1536×2048 resolution that makes images, videos, and games burst with vibrant color.
Viewing angles also prove excellent thanks to IPS technology. Asus further enhances the visuals with its Tru2Life+ feature.
Processing power comes from a zippy Intel Atom Z3580 chip and generous 4GB RAM which handles intensive games and multitasking smoothly.
Storage is equally ample at 64GB, expandable via micro SD card.
The tablet runs the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system skinned with Asus’ own Zen UI.
Asus outfits the Zenpad with capable stereo speakers that pump out surprisingly loud and clear audio.
A USB Type-C port allows for faster data transfers and charging.
Connectivity includes dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, and GPS.
While the display dazzles and speakers satisfy, some aspects underwhelm.
Battery life disappoints, failing to last a full day. Brightness also compares dim next to rivals.
Though respectable at 8MP, the camera proves smudgy. And Asus clutters the interface with excessive bloatware.
The Asus Zenpad S 8.0 punches above its weight with an elegant design, stunning screen, and generally zippy performance.
Shortcomings like overbearing software, dimness, and battery life still dampen the experience somewhat.
But overall the tablet outshines competitors to capture attention in the budget category.
Those seeking style and screen beauty for less will find appeal in the new Asus Zenpad.
