What we like about Asus Zenpad Z8s 4G (3GB + 16GB)

  • High-resolution 2K (2048 x 1536) IPS display with great sharpness and viewing angles
  • Premium, slim aluminum design that is lightweight and easy to hold
  • Reliable day-to-day performance powered by the Snapdragon 652 processor and 3GB RAM
  • Built-in 4G LTE connectivity through Verizon for use away from Wi-Fi
  • Includes a microSD card slot for expandable storage (up to 128GB)
  • Features a modern USB-C charging port
  • Good value for money compared to higher-priced alternatives like the iPad Mini

What we don't like about Asus Zenpad Z8s 4G (3GB + 16GB)

  • Limited 16GB of internal storage, much of which is occupied by pre-installed bloatware
  • Verizon exclusivity makes it difficult to use or purchase for non-Verizon customers
  • Capacitive navigation buttons are not backlit, making them difficult to use in the dark
  • Lacks support for fast charging, leading to long recharge times (nearly 3 hours)
  • The 4:3 aspect ratio results in significant letterboxing (black bars) when watching modern 16:9 video content
  • Underwhelming camera performance, particularly the front-facing camera in low light
  • Inability to move many apps directly to the SD card to free up internal space
  • Poor long-term software support with infrequent system updates

Verdict

The Asus ZenPad Z8s (ZT582KL) is a compact 7.9-inch 4G LTE tablet featuring a high-resolution 2K IPS display (2048 x 1536) and a premium aluminum unibody design. Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 octa-core processor with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD), it delivers solid mid-range performance and sharp visuals for its size. Main advantages include its vibrant screen with wide viewing angles, a slim 6.9mm profile, and dual stereo speakers that provide clear audio for media consumption. However, the device has notable drawbacks, such as being a Verizon-exclusive model, lacking backlighting on its capacitive navigation buttons, and having no support for fast charging, resulting in long recharge times for its 4,680mAh battery.
