The Atom Z8300 reviews might have stopped for now (I might check out the Hi10 Plus) but this week I’m waiting on the new Zenpad from ASUS, the Zenpad 3S 10 is a 9.7″ Retina Android 6.0 tablet. It’s powered by a MediaTek MT8176 (Hexa Core) 4GB of RAM with a 64GB eMMC for storage which can be expanded as it has a MicroSD slot.
An okay CPU, similar to the Snapdragon 650, but what interests me is it has premium metal build, fully laminated display, wireless AC, dual 5 magnet speakers, it’s only 5.8mm thin and weighing only 430 grams it’s super light and portable. And USB Type-C with Qualcomm quick charge 3.0 support, never seen that on a tablet. No more slow charging!
Priced at 360 euros it’s a good step up from the Chinese tablets I normally review and only single OS are its downsides I can see. That and ASUS normally chock their devices up with so much bloatware.
It also supports a stylus which is pressure sensitive up to 1024 levels. And is claimed to last for 150 hours the battery with pinpoint accuracy. The stylus will also arrive this week.
Of course, I’ll check it out in full detail once it arrives. Two mobiles are also due to arrive, more Snapdragon 821 units. The LeEco Le Pro 3 and Xiaomi’s Mi 5S Plus, the larger version of the Mi5S.
Does anyone really want to see the Chuwi Hi10 plus reviewed? Yes, it’s another Atom Z8300, but it has a 3:2 accept ratio screen and Remix OS 2.0 with Windows 10.
