Third-party reviews

What customers like about Asus Memo Pad 8 4G (2GB + 64GB)

  • Slim, lightweight, and ergonomic design that is comfortable to hold.
  • Vibrant and bright 8-inch IPS display with good viewing angles.
  • Long-lasting battery life, often cited as reaching 9 to 10 hours.
  • Easily expandable storage via a dedicated microSD card slot.
  • Solid build quality for a budget-friendly tablet.
  • Support for 4G LTE, NFC, and Miracast connectivity in specific models.

What customers don't like about Asus Memo Pad 8 4G (2GB + 64GB)

  • Subpar camera quality that produces grainy, dull, or noisy images.
  • Noticeable performance lag and stuttering, especially when multitasking or waking from sleep.
  • Reflective screen surface that acts as a significant fingerprint magnet.
  • Limited RAM (1GB) in base models which struggles with graphics-heavy games.
  • Single rear speaker is easily muffled depending on how the tablet is held.
  • Slow charging speeds and inability to charge while in active use.

Verdict

The ASUS MeMO Pad 8 4G (ME581CL) is a lightweight 8-inch tablet featuring a sharp Full HD 1920x1200 IPS display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It is powered by a 64-bit Intel Atom Z3560 quad-core processor clocked at 1.83GHz, paired with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage for capable multitasking and media consumption. Key strengths include its vibrant high-resolution screen, built-in 4G LTE connectivity, and a slim 7.45mm profile that makes it highly portable. However, the device is held back by a relatively small 4,000mAh battery that leads to shorter usage times compared to competitors, an exposed microSD slot prone to dust, and mediocre 5MP rear and 1.2MP front cameras that struggle in low-light conditions.
