Verdict

The Asus MeMO Pad ME172V is a budget-friendly 7-inch tablet featuring a 1024 x 600 resolution LED-backlit display and 16GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD slot. It is powered by a 1GHz single-core VIA WM8950 processor and 1GB of RAM, running on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system. Main characteristics include a lightweight 370g design with a unique diamond-checkered texture, a 1MP front-facing camera for video calls, and stereo speakers enhanced by SonicMaster audio technology. Its primary pros are its high affordability and the inclusion of expandable storage, which was rare for its class at launch. However, significant cons include sluggish system performance, a display with narrow viewing angles that cause color shifting, and a relatively short battery life of approximately 7 hours.
