Verdict

The Asus Fonepad 8 (FE380CG) is a versatile 8-inch tablet featuring 3G telephony and dual-SIM capabilities, powered by a 1.33GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3530 processor. This specific variant is equipped with 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, expandable up to 64GB via microSD, alongside a 1280x800 IPS display and dual front speakers with SonicMaster technology. Key pros include its slim 8.9mm design, long-lasting 4000mAh battery providing up to 12 hours of use, and smooth multitasking performance for its class. However, notable cons include the relatively low pixel density of the screen, underwhelming 5MP rear and 2MP front cameras that lack an LED flash, and the limited 8GB of base storage which is quickly consumed by the operating system.
