ASUS ZenPad C 7.0 goes on sale in Malaysia at RM499

ASUS, currently the #2 Tablet brand in Malaysia has introduced another cheap and cheerful tablet into our market. Following the launch of its ZenPad tablet series, ASUS has also introduced an entry-level version that’s called the ZenPad C 7.0 and it has now arrived on our shores.

The ZenPad C 7.0 is an affordable 7″ Dual-SIM 3G tablet which allows you to make phone call, and it carries a price tag of RM499. The front gets a 7″ IPS display that does a modest 1024×600 pixels resolution and it runs on Intel’s new Atom x3-C3230 Quad-Core processor. It gets just 1GB of RAM and for Malaysia, we are getting 16GB of storage which can be expanded with microSD up to 64GB.

At the back it gets a leather pattern like design and at the top corner, it gets a rather basic 2MP camera. Over at the front, you’ll find a simple VGA camera and there’s a loud speaker upfront for optimal audio playback.

In comparison with its higher-spec FonePad 7 FE171CG (now priced at RM569 with GST), the ZenPad C 7.0 gets a newer processor but it only offers 1GB instead of 2GB RAM that’s being offered on the FonePad 7. If you take photos on a tablet, the FonePad 7 would be better as it has higher 8MP PixelMaster main camera while selfies are taken by its 2MP front camera.

The ZenPad C 7.0 is quite light at 265 grams and has a thickness of 8.4mm. At time of release, it runs on a newer Android 5.0 Lollipop along with its custom ZenUI. For more info, you can check out the official product page or you can visit its product listing on DirectD.
