ASUS Fonepad Official: Price, Specs and Availability in the Philippines

ASUS Philippines just announced that the ASUS Fonepad (32GB variant), a competitively priced handheld with 3G voice and mobile data for all the features of a smartphone, with the versatility of a 7-inch table will be available in the 4th week of May starting at Php11,999 for the 8GB variant and Php14,999 for the 32GB variant. More about the ASUS Fonepad after the jump.

ASUS Fonepad is ideal for people who value both the voice communication features of a smartphone and the entertainment opportunities afforded by a tablet, but prefer the convenience of carrying just one device.
Fonepad is a sleek and compact tablet with a metallic design that can be held comfortably in one hand, thanks to its light 340g weight and slim 10.4mm profile. Powered by a 1.2GHz Intel Atom Z2420 processor (8GB variant) or 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z2460 processor (32GB variant) with full Android compatibility, Fonepad features a perfect balance of performance and energy efficiency, with hardware-accelerated 1080p Full HD video decoding and up to nine hours of battery life.

The 7-inch screen features 10-point multi-touch, and a crisp 1280 x 800 HD resolution for crisp, readable web page text and incredibly detailed photos. IPS technology ensures vibrant color with 178-degree wide viewing angles, and images that are clear and bright, even outdoors.

Built-in 3G with HSPA+ mobile data means ASUS Fonepad is an always-connected mobile device for seamless web browsing, fast downloads from Google Play Store, and smooth streaming of audio and video. Fonepad can also be used for voice calls using the built-in noise-cancelling digital microphone or a Bluetooth headset. With just one mobile data plan to pay for, running costs are also much lower than those of a separate smartphone and 3G tablet.
