We’re all expecting the next-generation Nexus 7 tablet to debut sometime soon, and we’ve already seen a decent amount of ‘leaked’ specs for the device. Well, this time around, an Asus Customer Service Rep was nice enough to spill the beans through the company website’s Live Chat. According to the specs, the upcoming Nexus 7…
ASUS released a new firmware update for its smartphone-tablet combo PadFone 2. The new 700+ MB heavy downloads brings along a ton of changes, though device stays on Android 4.1 (firmware jumps to version 10.4.16.8). Improvements are made in camera performance, focus sensitivity, video quality and image clarity, video light functions and Wi-Fi stability. Moreover,…
You can’t help but love ASUS for experimenting with different form factors. The Taiwanese company was first to realize we could use a physical keyboard with our tablets and now they’re going one step forward, launching the 11.6-inch Transformer Book Trio. Basically, it’s a notebook-tablet hybrid which, just like the company’s “regular” Transformer series, has…
Another cool device ASUS unveiled at Computex is the Fonepad Note FHD 6, which is like the original Fonepad’s younger brother that has a slightly smaller screen (6 inches), while adding stylus to the mix. That screen supports full HD (1920×1080 pixels) resolution, while the rest of the FHD 6’s specs include Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom…
Asus recently took the wraps off of its next generation Transformer Infinity Pad, one of the company’s best tablet offerings today.

While no details of this device were detailed at Google I/O, sources close to DigiTimes are stating that the updated tablet will be shipping at the end of the second quarter, and hitting store shelves in the third…
ASUS announced a slightly beefed-up version of the Fonepad in Taiwan. Instead of rocking a 1.2GHz Intel Atom Z2420 processor and 16GB of internal storage, the new model comes with faster 1.6GHz Z2460 CPU and 32GB of memory (plus a microSD card slot if that’s not enough for you). We’ve no information when (or if)…
Few days ago I ranted about Ubuntu for Android, saying that I can’t wait to install it on my smartphone. Today I have a related idea to discuss with you. At the moment, Canonical doesn’t allow users to download Ubuntu for Android (or perhaps it’s still not ready for prime time), and the company is…
ASUS is pretty fast to release updates for its tablets and the newly launched Fonepad is no exception. Those of you who bought the tablet-turned-phone device were probably already invited to update. It’s a small, bug-fixing release that should make the Fonepad more stable and speed-up few things here and there. Here’s what’s changed: Bug…
We took the time to review the Asus MeMO Pad Smart 10 last month and deemed it as a worthy Android tablet for those on a budget but didn’t want budget specifications. It looks like Asus is prepping a successor of its budget tablet with a few spec bumps of its own. The updated Asus…
