I don’t think Asus could be anymore obvious with its naming schematic when it comes to its MeMo Pad lineup of devices, the company just announced the MeMo Pad HD 7 and FHD 10 at the on-going Computex 2013. As the names suggest, the HD 7 is a seven-inch tablet while the FHD10 is a full high definition 10” tablet, both running on Android operating system.
First up, the MeMo Pad HD 7 is targeted at emerging market with a retail price from as low as USD$129. It is powered by a quad-core processor, has an upgraded 7” display (compared with its predecessor) with 1280 x 800 resolution, a 5MP rear camera and a 1.2MP front facing HD camera, supports 720p video playback and measures at only 10.8mm thick with a weight of 302g. Battery wise, it has a lithium polymer battery that lasts for up to 10 hours with 720p video playback and are available in four colors – black, white, pink and green. It is available in 16GB flavor at USD$149 and 8GB flavor at USD$129.
The MeMo Pad FHD 10 features a full HD IPS display for vivid visuals with 178-degree wide viewing angles. Powered by the latest Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, FHD 10 is the ideal entertainment gadget be it for video playback or handheld gaming.
With a 5MP camera at the back, the front of the FHD 10 is adorned by a 1.2MP front shooter. It measures at just 9.5mm thick and weighs 580grams. Like the HD 7, the battery can last up to 10 hours with 720p video playback. Available in Royal Blue, Silk White and Vivid Pink, the MeMo Pad FHD 10 does not have an official pricing yet so hopefully, it will retain its affordability.
Hit the break for the press release of both devices.
