Verdict

The Asus Zenpad 8.0 Z380KL (3GB RAM + 32GB Storage) is an 8-inch tablet featuring a 1280x800 IPS display and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor. It stands out for its interchangeable back cover design, which allows for unique functional add-ons like an Audio Cover with 5.1-channel surround sound or a Power Case for extended battery. Main pros include its decent multi-tasking performance, 4G LTE cellular connectivity for mobile use, and a solid 4000mAh battery providing up to 10 hours of life. However, notable cons include a relatively low screen resolution for its size, slow 4-hour charging times, and occasional interface sluggishness due to the heavy ZenUI skin.
