In addition, the tablet is able to call, and is equipped with two slots for SIM-cards, which can not please fans of tools 2-to-1.
ASUS FONEPAD 7: Design
Since we are dealing with planshetofonom, it should look appropriately, that is, to be as convenient as possible for web surfing, and for telephone conversations. First of all, we note that the tablet is quite thin and light, as evidenced by its dimensions – 194h109h10 mm, and weight – 299 g As usual, inexpensive device can not boast a metallic finish and a plastic, however, and he has a lot of advantages . For example, the rear surface is made in the style of «soft-touch», it is not easily soiled and thus practical. The top of the lid is located a large eye webcam, under it – the logo «ASUS».
By the way, there are four color variations rear surface: white, gold, black and red. In the first two cases, the display is a white frame, the rest – black.
Incidentally, the faceplate. Of course, most of it takes the screen, which is surrounded by a fairly narrow outline. Vertical orientation, so the top and bottom of the display frame is much wider than the right and left.Below – another manufacturer’s logo beside it – model, under which is hidden speaker. Another – at the top, next to the front webcam and brightness sensor.

The front panel of the tablet boasts a good viewing angles, even in the absence of an inversion of severe deviation. These important characteristics as color and brightness of the rose to the occasion. As a result, the image juicy and rich colors – uniform over the entire surface.Do not let down and contrast, its figure was 1,100: 1.
A few words about the brightness of the display: it can be adjusted automatically or manually, and its maximum value does not exceed 370 cd / m2. Setting fires is quite correct, successfully adapting to the degree of illumination around. I would also like to note the presence of the program for the calibration of the screen titled «Splendid», with which you can adjust the different color characteristics, such as saturation, depth, etc.
Note also the fact that the screen has a fairly good oleophobic coating, so that even fingerprints remain, but it can be easily removed. By the way, gloss still contributes to the appearance of glare is thus better gadget not work in the sun. At the same time, the sensor is responsive enough to the tablet, there is no need to repeat the command, everything works quickly and accurately. The display supports 10-finger multitouch.
The Tablet PC provides two cameras, resolution is 0.3 megapixel front and rear – 2 megapixels.

However, some models can be installed main camera with a resolution of 5 megapixels and autofocus. With her shooting will be better.
