  • Display 8 / 10
  • Battery 9 / 10
  • Design 7 / 10

Asus has released its newest tablet – the Zenpad Z10. This 9.7-inch tablet aims to provide a premium device at an affordable price point.

Sleek Metal Design But On the Heavy Side

The Zenpad Z10 sports a slim metal body that gives it a high-end feel. However, at nearly 1.1 pounds, it is still relatively weighty for its size.

Vibrant Display Ideal For Media

The tablet's 1536×2048 pixel IPS screen is one of its highlights. It delivers vivid colors, deep blacks and excellent viewing angles. 

This makes the display well-suited for watching videos and gaming.

Powerful Internals Ensure Lag-Free Performance

Powering the tablet is a Snapdragon 650 hexa-core chipset and 3GB of RAM. Together, they provide smooth lag-free performance when streaming media or playing graphic-intensive games.

All-Day Battery Life

An ample 7,800 mAh battery keeps the Zenpad Z10 running for nearly 9 days of light use on a single charge. 

This allows you to consume entertainment and browse the web without worrying about the battery.

Camera and Speakers Could Be Better

While the tablet takes decent photos and video, camera quality is not great. 

The dual speakers deliver loud and clear audio, but their bottom placement means they can easily get blocked when holding the device.

Useful Extra Features

Asus has packed the Zenpad Z10 with useful capabilities like tap to wake, a blue light filter and split-screen multitasking. 

However, some users are still awaiting an update to Android 7 Nougat.

Fast Connectivity with Verizon LTE

With support for the latest Wi-Fi standards and Verizon LTE bands, the Zenpad Z10 offers fast, reliable connectivity while on the move.

Affordably Priced for the Features

The Asus Zenpad Z10 is aggressively priced given its premium metal design, vivid display, ample battery life and smooth performance. Asus has delivered excellent value for money with its newest tablet.

So for shoppers seeking an entertainment-focused tablet with long battery life, Asus’ Zenpad Z10 is a compelling option. While not perfect, it brings premium features at an affordable mid-range price point.
