Asus ZenWatch and MeMO Pad 7 hands-on

ASUS Android Android Wear Wearables IFA 2014

Introduction

Asus had its IFA 2014 press conference today and unveiled the anticipated ZenWatch, the MeMO Pad 7 tablet, and the EeeBook X205 Intel Atom-powered netbook. We didn't get to see a new ZenFone from the company.

Probably the most interesting item of the three is the ZenWatch, the company's first attempt at a smartwatch and one made in collaboration with Google, using its Android Wear platform developed exclusively for the form factor.

The watch packs a 1.63" 320 x 320px AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 400 chipset and a built in microphone. It opts for an interesting design that's neither round nor square but has a 2.5D curved front that should make it feel more comfortable to wear and use.

The Asus MeMo Pad 7 is powered by a 64-bit Intel Atom chipset with a quad-core 1.83GHz processor and 2GB of RAM. The display is a 7" IPS unit of 1920 x 1200px. The tablet features a slick, metal design and weighs just 269g.

The tablet has a 5MP camera on the back and a 2MP front facer.

I swear I won't buy anything from Asus due to bad experience with Padfone 2. Asus is totally irresponsible company.

Bezels are there so you can hold it with one hand without touching the screen.Slim bezels on the tablet are just marketing trick, without practical value.
