Verdict

The Asus MeMO Pad HD 7 (ME173X) is a 7-inch budget Android tablet featuring a 1.2GHz MediaTek MT8125 quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage expandable via microSD up to 32GB. Its standout characteristic is the 1280 x 800 resolution IPS display with a 216 ppi density, which offers vibrant colors and 170-degree wide viewing angles. The device also includes a 5MP rear-facing camera, a 1.2MP front camera, and stereo speakers enhanced by SonicMaster audio technology, all powered by a 3950mAh battery providing up to 10 hours of life. Main pros include its excellent screen quality for the price, lightweight 302g design, and inclusion of a microSD slot, which was often missing in similar competitors of its era. However, common cons include a cheap-feeling glossy plastic build that attracts fingerprints, sluggish performance during intensive gaming, and the lack of an ambient light sensor for automatic brightness adjustment.
